sHAr SUCCESSFUL a. ENTERPRISE.


seeks to intelentially leave the i'm
preston on~the public that we had
misrepresented him, which he claims
came about in the following manner
As all will no doubt remember il
the issue of the Le0.1er of April 27ll
an article was published announcing
in effect that "the Leader wheI
started, many regarded it as an ex-
pertinent, but the experiment had
been successful, &c" Knowing tha,
such stat was base falsehcod
or that other things connected will
it was dishonest, and being aware
that whether public Journal is q
success or failure is a question ol
public interest, about which the pub
lie have a right to know the trutl
or falsi,y, therefore in our issue of the
GAZETTE of May 4th we suggested
among other things, that if the
"Leade'' is a success Mr.. Hyde and
his present successor Mr.. w. Fl.
Mansfield, certainly could have paid
the two girls who worked setting
type for them for nearly year, but
were compelled to quit working for
that successful (?) enterprise because
they were unable to get their pay
This man of "noble breast" (?) "Sa-
tan's imp" for instance, whose little
hatchet will not prevent him from
Icing in order to induce the public
to believe that he had been misrep-
resented; IN the last issue of his
Leader he published the certificate of
the two girls in words and figures as
follows, to wit:
"Corvallis May 9, 'e3.
This certifies that we have no
claims for any amount against the
Benton Leader"
(Signed) "MARY THOMPSON
EMMA THOMPSON"
But these young ladies do not say
that they had no claim against the
Leader on May 4,h, at the time the
GAZETTE suggested that if his paper
was a successful enterprise he should
pay these girls, neither does this
man of falsehood attempt to say any
such thing. But on the contrary he
knows as we before stated that these
girls long time ago left his employ
because his soul was so caloused to
honesty or common. decency that
they failed to get their pay after
requesting him to pay it,
after which these worthy young ladies
spoke to several of the attorneys in
town to collect it for them, and a,
the time of our article of May 4,h
the demands ofthese ladies were in
the hands of a prominent lawyer of
his town for collection. But all the
of these young ladies and
he able assistance Of learned attor-
neys was entirely without any effect
whatever in collecting the bill, be
cause all that this pleasant, agreeable
md pure man had, that man that is
10 much "slandered and envied," was
leep down in the bottom of his
pocket; and the eDtreaties of these
girls who had labored long and hard
'ouid not reach it and the assistance
If attorneys by law could not get it. |
But the GAzETrE's article of Nav
:th caused shch shaking up of the
dry bones" in and about the "Sac-
um" of the Leader office thai
became too extremely tropical
or even such a pure (?) man as w.
/. Mansfield to remain around there
fixing up matters. So after our
rticle of May 4th, and before the
ate of the girls certificate of May
tn, he thrust his long bony fingers
lown deep into the bottom Of his
'ocket and brought forth the money
hat could not be reached in any
ther way than by our article, and
aid it to these young ladies; and
his We are able to prove. But this
IAN of pure sSazarac prociivities was
OF satisfied then; he had to take a
eculiarly worded certificate from
hese girls, So worded that he could
ublish it 10 the endeavor to again
eceive the public az to US, when IN
act, our article of May 4th was the
My prod which compelled him to
ay those girls. If we are never
BILE to do any further good in jour
alism we shall be satisfied tha: we
'ere thus able to assist these worthy
Dung ladies to get their just dues
ut of the bottom of that deep pock-
of the Sazarac.
1t is no doubt sir, Mr.. Mansfield,
nat your whole mind is made up
ntirely of "rottenness and corrup-
on" and, hence it is no doubt that
$ you say YOU have a bill of such
