BcasIey's Reply to Slater.
To the Franklin County News:

To the Franklin County News:
Slater has a queer way of showing
his friendship for me. In the columns
Of the Home Journal he stigmatlzcs me
as II crank, and endeavors to put his
glittering steel into my vital parts as Il
candidate by ingeniously appealing 20
the political prejudice of every Demo-
crat in this Congressional District for
the purpose Of exciting it against me.
He tells the people that Beasley is for
Butler for President, and that Butler is
"a man who deserves the execration of
men, women and children" This seems
q little strange when it is remembered
that the Democracy of Massachusetts
elected him to the Gubcrnatori; ofIice
and unanimously recommended him to
the Chicago Convention for the highest
Office in the Nation. Surely the people
of his own State, his own home, ought
to know the man better than we do.
Wendell Phillips said that Benjamin
Franklin Butler was one Of the grand
est characters in American history, and
there are millions of men in these
United States who entertain the same
opinion. But Slater knows the South
ern people are prejudiced against But
Ter, and in order to destroy my chances
of success he deliberately puts Butler on
my back and says am running this
race as an independent Greenback can
didate for Congress. Why didn't he
tell the people that am running also
as an independent Democrat' Why
didn't he tell them that l an making
the race just as William Lowe DID IN
North Alabama when he beat the nomi
nee Of Democratic Convention by
over 1000 majority in a Democratic
district Butler stands on a platform
that | endorse, hut I would not willing
Ily wound the feelings of my friends BY
casting vote to put him IN the l'resl
dental chair. j. IL. Is.

Back from the East.

United States Marshal Gosling re-
turned Saturday from the East, and re-
ports having had delightful trip. lie
left Mrs. Gosling and the children on
Nantucket Island, of the coast of Mas
sachusetts, for the summer.
In regard to the report that the Mar
shall had left his district without permits
sion, he says he has no criticism to
pass upon the authors Of the lie, and
will give them the benefit of his charit-
able silence. OF course the charge was
false, the Marshal having permission to
be absent three weeks for the purpose
OF taking his family to the sea shore.
The LIGHT knew this must be so, and
declined to lend its circulation to the RI
diculous report, as also did the Express,
and Mr.. Gosling seems very grateful for
the kindness.
