lsned loeala which were insu!tlnS and
uu,ru.hIul. THEY were printed and pre-.
aeuted 10 the public Tor the purpose Ct
ipjuring the club. That Is provided the
Register hos any Ii fleuce and we will
kindly lesye that matter for the Register,
party to decide. Tho "P.umed kaigh,s''
were organized as marching club to b.

possible, that 1t might bs credi. to ,ht

revent the formation OF another company.
We bsye no corner on clubs" but Ike al
Republicans we have ideas and stick 10
them.
We sincerely t,us. that the Register. re-.
marks will not permit any /. I our c,lzsnt
10 indulge in any animosity toward III.
"Pumed knight" who have enlisted in
war fora "rarif for protection" for all Of
our American industries. Thb article,
which was published in yesterday morn
ng's Register, and which haa called forth
this explanation, will not, I trust, be re-.
ceived az q truthful statement Of the
