about all that could have been done
in the prcmisesi
she ttrcgoing statements of facts
and communications, must necrs-
sarially assure the people that
their titles are all secure, and that
if their is now, or has been, any
thing lacking, it was no fault of
mine. The L. S. Land Officers
are presumed to know their bu1i
ness, and have promptly and
faithfully complied with all their
requirements.
And now that | have cffcctually
nailed the lies circulated with ref.
ercnce to- tl,is town site question,
for the purpose of injuring me, not
only now. but two Years ago, when
candidate before the people for
the tfice of sheriff, the question
will naturally suggest itself to ev
cry intelligent mind, "what did
Col. Parker have to do with it,
anyhow and is it not in order
for him to return the money back
to the people he so deceived.
Now this man Parker wants TO
be Postmaster # White Oaks /; he
wants no doubt to attach the office
to the Hodgman monstrosity, and
then he would grind out letters by
a neto process. Great genius, this
man Parker.
1t is sincerely hoped that our
Hon. Delegate, Manzanares, at
Washington, will not attempt to
inHict such a calamity upon this
community, by suggesting this
man Parker Cor 2. NJ, for among
all others he would certainly be
the last one whom the people
would select for tliat position.
| am informed that one of Par
ker's parasites, whom | well know,
and VINO. by the way, is unworthy
OF notice, suggested to one OF our
business men, who is a Democrat,
aid friend of mine, that while
there migh' not be anything i'll this
town site business Of Parkers, yet
that it was u good thing to down
/ Tumlinscn with, and that it WAS
very Important to the Democrats
to use every means i'll their power
to accomplish that purpose, as
Tomlinson was a hard man 10
down. The business man referred
to, politely informed this lecherous
tramp, that while he was II Demo-
crat, and i'll favor OF party "rgani-
zaIion, inc would not DC II party to
amy scheme instituted by any IN IN
or party OF men, who, for political
purposes only, would resort to the
/ dttlmltinn Of any ones character,
and the men, or party of men, who
attempted 1t, / Z would be found
voting against, first, last, and all
he time.
In conclusion. | will state that
my object in publishing this arti
Gle, is 10 vindIcate myself from the
foul charges attempted to be sad
dled ON ME III this community by
Parker and others ot his ilk, tol
no other purpose than to CRAFTY III
innate, morbid, and hcilish dispo
sition.
| propose making my own repu
tation, and that / ann willing tc
wear and be Judged by, and ,hal
lenge comparison of that alread,
achieyed with those OF my advers
aries.
! believe that | have lived il
White Oaks and Lincoln county
longer than my assailant, and an
as generally known to the people
and do not fear comparison OF re
cords. Since | have been here.
