Mexico weekly ledger., 1880-01-01
M. Y, DUNCAN.
Perjurer, Sneak and Rene
gade.


1t is really to bad. We had made
many resolution for the new year,
and among others We had resolved
not to stick pins any more in M. Y.
Duncan's balloon, or throw rocks at
his kite, but here is the new year, only
4 few hours old, and we are CON-
PEELED to break our good resolutions
and tell the gentleman that although
We are a boy and can be sneered at
and treated very badly that we are
not a figure nine with the TALBOT,
nor are we to be desplsed. We wish
we had room for all Of Duncan's arti-
Gle of last week, but we have not.
In the first place, he says we have
mo respect for age, sex or charsc-
ter" Il he comprises all this trio
he has told the truth. We don't
know that he can show when we ever
robbed widows and orphans. We
shall not try TO show when he did.
He then says that we are the
first fruits of RadicaIism and that
our paper, fixtures, &C., &c, are
owned by a Radical. It makes no
difference who owns the LEDGER,
that has nothing to do with our De-
mosraey; but we assure M. Y. Dun
can Mat the man who owns the LED
GER isa gentleman and a man of
honor and principle, which is more
than be is, and the very man who
owns the LlpeER knows fully as well
as the ed~itor,Sthat M. Y. Duncan is
not such a man as should sit in the
front seat Of a>ehurch. We don't
know that he would take a fee from
both parties in a law. suit, but will
state that it is well-known in this
county that some of his law t~ransac-
lions are very queer.
Albert White might be a RADICAL,
which we know he is not. r. M.
White, the editor Of this paper, is a
full blooded Democrat and the man
that says he is not lies and knows
that he lies. He says we were born
on Long ISLANDS Cannibal viper
corbra, cotton mouth, &c, &c.
Now, M. Y. Duncan, we have too
much respect for your family, but not
for you, to call you names. You
are Older than we are, but we will
set you a good example and not call
you bad names back-we would not
know when to stop. Not long since
you asked us, with tears in your eyes,
to "Let up on YOU" We did 1t,
The very next week, out of jealousy,
you published q disgraceful TRADE on
a man in this town who will stand "a
high in Heaven as you will lie low in
hell. You abused him personally af.
ter you prated so much about nc
gentleman would deal in PERSONAL.
ties. That man would not notice
your slander. You thought you
could handle US in the same way
You even threaten US and say wha'
you will do if necessary.
!, NJ. Y. Duncan, you should b.
ashamed of yourself; you have more
cheek than you have brains; you
just crack your whip; be careful 20,
tell the truth, for if you don't thu
lightning will strike you you just re
i veal all you choose about record
3 We wont get mad and talk back; VI
wont say anything about your wa
record; bow you fought and ble'
for your country with your mouth
we wont tell the people that you coul'
a be indicted to-day for a false returI
e of your property to the assessor; "
wont say anything about how har'
=, you worked to get a saloon in you
building and told a man that me,
would do anything for money; W
wont mention your dark dealing
with the Mexico Savings Bank; W
wont touch all these and a thousan'
other things up in glowing colors
J Oh, yes, you ate us up last week
but you will find you can't digest us
you just threaten all you please.
you are not satisfied to let this mat
e ter rest here, we will handle you i
such a way that your hair will stan
ON end and you will be ashamed t
look an honest man in the face. Yo
