MINERAL PAEK, Oct 5ih. 1880. ED. MINER.-You w:u excuse me if l seem 10 be cXpesding more ammunition on Pat Hamilton than Inc game deserves, but as have gat the biri SD badly crippled il seems a pity not io finish him Last week convicted bim fair and square ofmisrepre- sentiug facts. H-, this week, wriggles out of that to his own evident satisfaction by saving, some oDc told him so.7 Well, We must excuse Hamilton I suppose from run ming his little paper co what be can pick up around town. A, quilting parties and fi5i fer awhile, De is yet 6 novice, and in time De will learn better.
 Nov one more conviction of misrepre- seliation and fraud, Mr. Hamilton; and to quote your own coupiot, slightly modified,
 a-Tlt hszvc1a thy wlf. restore,
 Jsl.5ts t1. sleep and teil lss m1-e.'
 With para0uabie b1mUasi, considering. Patrick, you say 'you want to know why Oury voted against compulsory education, here is the reason set forth in inc message of Gov Stafford of 1873:
 The subject of compulsory education has been a1Ii.tcd throughout the country co me oE the States have adopted il, and others will no GouDf. do likewise. ln our own Territory number, Ot children live la isoiatrd localities, or in towns where sui hcIeut school room is uot yet provided for al. Hebce, thus policy cannot be Jasiiy aAi suooss.f,6iy odopied; IL should, however, be ell oUtIoua! Hlth paIkBts Co cikonse between public and prvate schools That Is The reason, MT. Davis, why Grant Oury recorded | his vote az gaInst the laR; don't II strike you | as being good one!
 Now 10 your exposure: This message. us i you say, was m 1873 That session ocom puispry education law WAS offered. but at ne session of 1875 there was; and that Is | the session al which Oury immortaIzed | himself by his hostility to pubic schools Now, why quote Gov. Sdford's message IL of 1873; that is not the document uader which Mr. Oury was legIalaling in 1875, ah,n Le voted against compulsory edu- cation Now what did ". Safford say to .he Legislature Of ls7j OF this question This is [, Mf. Hamilton:
 "Tbe subject If compulsory education is -eceivng favorable consideration through put the United States The great State of New IoIk, and several others, have re- ,cntly fallen into the line of progress, and nave enacted compulsory educational laws, md the sentiment Is fast gaining pubhc avor everywhere. IL l. the very general belief that the safety and perpetuity of re- publican institutions restnpop the capability ,f the people 10 govern themselves. This leing an admitted fact, II is as essential for he peace. prosperity and security of all to ave .he rising generation educated, as 1t is or an individual 10 take he precautionary measures necessary 10 preserve his property rom fire, flood CT thieves. l believe the inc has arrived Tn Arizona when such measures should De adopted as will insure he attendance of every child at some school or at least three months during each year. n establishing ihe free school system, iave received the hearty cooperation of the ounty school superintendents and the ,eople generally. IL rests with you tO fOs CT and cherish this inststutIUn. No other luty that you will be called upon to per orm will leave SD lasting an effect upon the uture of this Territory, and l iecl confident hat you will perform II with fidelity to this 'eopie, ahd for the advancement ot the ising generation.
 ,lt is pretty rough 10 keep raising the ccord on y0n this way, but you must be lore circumsPect.j
 Now, why did you not come ou. D honestly nd quote ,he above from the message under .hich MT Oury was acting, instead of try ,g to mislsal the pubic by quoting from be message of two gears before. IL won' To: honesty s ,he best policy. eSoa among litors. Now, MT Hamilton, llt me ad , isc you a little, and then Giisu; don't you y 10 explain any more Of Mr. Olrys ,haOl record |
 Good bye. $
