The city Printing Controversy.

We dislike to inflict upon our reader'
a supcriluity of personal literature, bu
the false statements and vindicdvt
diatrihc INDUCED in by our garrulou'
contemporary compel us to give brie'
history of this printing business, ano
III the same time show to the public
gaze the true character of the man will
whom we are exchanging fraterna
courtcsicS rs il We're, and let our reader:
Judge for themselves. When leading Re
puhlicans and Democrats of Mankatc
assured us that we must play second
fiddle To the double faced individual
who had played his cards so fine as to
have under his control so many of both
parties that Il well regulated Republican
organ could not secure its due share OF
patronage, We didn't believe them
We thought the man was honey and
perfection. But we find our friends
knew him the best When he sees pa
per prospecting and the people appreci-
ating and patronizing it instead of pour
ing into his golfers all the stray work,
then he paws and scratches and growls
and sweatS and irotls, and stubs around
hackbiting and classifying and dcceiving
and throwing mud and slime at one of
the proprietors of the FREE PRESS and
resorts not only to low abuse, but con-
tcmptibly and Intentionally misrcprc-
sents and maligns and publishes what
he knows TO he false. Not only this,
but he inveiglcs the City Printing Com
mittcc into his clutches and paradcs
them in II ridiculous position, and
though they were duly warned of the
situation they nevertheless signed what
the editor calls statement" and
which is the editors own writing
Last week the chairman of the COM
mittcc brought To the FREE Press
office the following card or circular,
written rs he confessed by the editor OF
the RerieSr and asked its publication in
our columns. We assured him if he
would bring us certified statement of
the bids, Just as Mey "ere Submitted. we
would be glad to crafty him. This he
refused TO do and replied that he should
have it published, and here it is rs found
in the Rcricir and which we now pub
lish TO compare with the original bids:

For Gold and Silver Watches 4! Taylor
is selling an endless quantity Of solid
Gold Watches this spring. Many Of the
citizens of Mankato and vicinity have
bought two at time, one for their bet
ter half and ono for themselves. Also
the Patent Gold Case Watches, and he
is selling more, so the agents say, than
they sell in any other city of the same
size in the State. Taylor has sold over
one hundred and fifty watches in the
past few months. Taylor has orders
from all over the country. Taylor re-
ceived an order for two watches last
night from Jancsville-and why is this 2
Simply because Taylor buys for cash.

Weep not for those
Who sink within the arms Of death,
Ere yet the chilling wintry breath
OF sorrows DER them blows.
But weep for them who here remain
The mournful heritors Of pain;
Condemned to see each bright Joy fade
And mark griers melancholy shade.
Rest In peace, dear sister. and while thou
sleepest the violets that spring from thine
early grave-as did thy triumphant death
will speak Of better world.
