A Series of Them.

Having followed the Repieu editor
and the White man up, proved them
both to be falsitiers, and unprincipled,
the aforesaid editor thinks to get re.
venge on us by IA new series of black
falsehoods IN variety of articles in this
weeks issue of his abusive sheet. We
have on previous occasions been forced
to show the real side of Mr.. Wise to
the public, and not the fictitious cover
ing that is held out to gain public sup
port and sympathy. and in every in
stance this unpleasant task has been
brought about by his own exhibit of
hypocracy, inconsistency, falsehoods
and innuendoes. He has been driven
from the counsels offs the Republican
party; he has, by his fawning endeavor
to play two tiddles with single bow
disguised the better element of the
Democratic party the substantial
portion OF the Alliance following, Can
see through him without microscope,
and his double dealing has become so
apparent that they are dropping him as
they would serpent, and hence the
old man is devoting his time and talent
to his ''young and brilliant cotempo-
rary, the editor of THE FREE PRESS"
Whenever, in the past we have corn
cred the ReoieW editor and proved him
IN unqualified falsifier, he Immediately
vaults the track, catches onto conven-
lent switch. again gets up steam, blows
himself Off and fires up for another act.
The last, most ridiculous and everlast-
ingly thin effort that this eifervescent
creature has inflicted upon the public
is found in the statement that the editor
of THE FREE PRESS promised, as a
condition of his election us delegate
from the Third ward of this city to the
Republican county convention to vote
for certain Legislative candidate"
and then ''failed to come to time" In
the first place the editor of THE FREE
Press had no hand in the selection of
the delegates, did not himself know
that nc was placed on the ticket until
an hour or two before the copy was
handed in to be printed, and never
pledged himself to aid any individual
for nomination on the Legislative ticket.
Further than this, we will challenge
the RsuieW editor to prove the assertion
he makes to the contrary, or stand con-
victed of another fabrication. We
make the prediction that he stands con-
victed.
The cold lunch editor of the Reuie1
further errs, 1--WE will be charitable and
call it an error when he attributes our
explanation of the failure to read the
communication presented by Mr.. Evans
at the Republican convention as an
apology" What we stated was true
so far as our knowledge extends. The
letter was placed upon the presiding
officers table with no instructions fur
Their than the society wished it read to
the convention. After the nominations
were made and the time come when
such papers are usually read, Mr.. Evans
withdrew the document remarking that
it was "too late to be of any avail
Perhaps Mr.. Wise, looking ever his
'specks" from a distant table, and with
his great fund of knowledge and bump
of comprehenslveness running over on
all sides might have been more fore
sighted. He doubtless was, but in hii
great goodness of heart he should no,
break out so violently and try and
make us out an apologist and a falsifel
because he has only proven himself
as such. But this is another of hi
dyspeptic freaks.
There are other feeble and misap
piled whIspcrings from the benumbet
pencil of our contemporary, but we viii
not notice them in this connection.
