compllshed, to him, the grand crown
ing effort of his life. The falsity of
his statement in this particular is ap-
parent to every one, and in this con-
nectlon, [ will state that nerer have I,
since my connection with postal af-
fairs, this gentleman to the contrary
Notwithstanding purposely detained
any mail matter Of any description,
whether it be the STANDARD or any
thing else, when called for by the
proper authority, and l therefore brand
his statement as false and devoid Of
the least atom of truth, as is also his
statement that | approached him ON
different occasions, to induce him to
stop the STANDARD. 'Tis quite diff
ferent thing to solicit subscribers for
a paper, though it be at the expiration
Of other papers, and induce one to stop
another, though it is possible for some
men, of somewhat contracted minds,
to get the one confused with the other.
That | have a perfect right to in
crease the. circulation of any paper
for which [ am employed, be that in
an honorable way, and honorable i'm
plies the rest, no one dare deny, for
what is worth doing, is worth doing
we'll" Farther than that [ have not,
dare not go. Here let me remark,
that if the STANDARD OF any other Re-
publican paper sees fit to wish to en-
gage my humble services towards this
end, as this is part of my business, l
am ready at any time to consider such
propositions, and will willingly work
for the success of that journal, with as
much zealousness as has characterized
my efforts in the past
AS to those to whom you referred
as having stopped the STANDARD at
my solicitation, the following letter,
signed by the parties themselves, is
self explanatory:
'We, the following persons, having
subscribed for the Jackson Journal
and not wishing to take any other
Jackson county paper, deeming one
county paper sufficient, left request
at the post Office, upon our own re-
sponsibility, and without any solicita-
ton whatever from David T. Morgan
or any other person connected with
the Oak Hill post Office, to have oul
Standards discontinued, as our times
of subscriptions expired, and there.
fore as far as we are concerned, do moi
consider said D. T. Morgan guilty il
the least degree of the charge made
against him in last weeks edition o1
the Standard.

) The above contains the names
think of every person, during my con
1 nection with the Journal, that have
: changed from the Standard to tn,
Journal, and it seems reasonable t.
suppose that were [ guilty Of sait
charge, they would have known some
thing about it, and as the list contains
the names of some of our very bes
citizens, such testimony is proof tina
! this ''best subscriber has been just
little "too fresh" in this matter, ant
r yourself considerably too hasty il
building so strong upon your suppo
sitions.
One word more and that is concern
, ing my application to the Republican
County Central Committee in regart
to coming home to vote. | was re
quested by certain influential partie
to write your committee relative tt
this matter, and yielding to their so
, licitations, did so, and having re
ceived from you an unfavorable reply
I together with scores Of fellow stu
dents) received from the Republican
State Central Committee, or its off
! GERS, that which you saw fit to refuse
: 1t does not by any means follow tina
because l made such application t.
,, your committee, that | was not suf
ficiently interested in the welfare o.
the republican partJ to come that dis
tance to deposit my ballot withou
having my expenses betrayed, for i
was customary to defray the expenses
of voters who were away from home
in coming home to vote. I could citt
at least a dozen instances, and ne
doubt there are dozens Of others Of
this kind within the county, and con
sequently it was not considered un
reasonable to think myself entitled tc
r like favors.
