Why don't Mr. Turner obey The law ane
turn over the poll books and ballots to theil
legal custodian? He Is not d proper person
to hold them, as he is personally interested
in them.

The l%ntelligencer has "egotism'' enough
to think 1t q condescenslon every time il
notices the pOstoffice organ, but, just now,
the public is interested In Its effort TO retain
all office gained by the illegal votes of a lot
of couvlcls, and as We are talking to it we
want to put b we say down to the limit
of Its comprehension.
We challenge the postofice organ to name
one uttersnce of the IntellIgencer which is
untrue. Do 1t and show US in what, and we
will be the first to acknowledge it, and make
every reparation In our power. This is our
conception OF decent journalism. Come
No shirking !; stand by what you say. Your
allegations are below par, just now. Be
specific.
Mr.. Turner's organ says that we apply the
meanest language at our to him.
The only epithet we remember hurting at
him was the word "ssinted." We called
him the .ssainted Mr.. Turner Maybe this

Mr.. Allen has as much to do with editing

The editors name may be found at the head
of its columns. He, and he alone, is re.
sponsible for what 1t says. Let up on Mr.
Allen ; he is not, so far as we know, saying
a word about the city election or MIR. Tur

and he can't be cozened into indorsing Mr.
Turner's behavior.
