IFor the Ashcville CITIZEN.
To MY Fellow Citizens of
AsheViIIe.

The paper signed sTax Payers" issued
on Saturday was evidently written by
an old political trickster. For boldness in
its style, falsity in its staten ents and for
adroitness in twisting the figures con
tanned in it so as to place the board OF
aldermen and their officials IN false
light, the production could not be sur,
passed, even by the .panicipators in the
great Star Route transactions. An old
gentlema an once told me that it was i'm
possible to touch. pitch without becom-
ing defiled Remembering that and
considering from whence this piece
emanated, i thought | WOULD make no
reply TO any part of which might be con-
strued as touching on me; but as great
publicity has been given TO the piece,
am constrained to touch on one or two
points.
Tax Payers writes as follows
:.Fhe law requires them 10 make oat a
transcript of their receipts and expend-
itures and post it at the Court House
door ten days before the election of the
citizens"
This was done and in addition the
statement published in the Daily Aduance
The board of which he seems to be the
champion made up their statement to
slst April. 1881. DAYS before the ten
days required by law and consequently
in stating Ills figures for the years ex-
penditure of the Lnsk board he leaves
ont nearly month, and does not account
to the public for the money spent by
them during that time
This man "Tax Payers" writes, "a
condensed and unsatisfactory statement
mot a fair tran5cri OF as provided by law
has been published, but neither shows
where the money comes from nor where
it has gone to.
The statement rendered was a con-
densed one, an itemized one was never
required and has never been rendered.
If he means to imply that the statement
is an unfair one, one intended to deceive,
/ pronounce the statement as false and
the fit proddct of the foul heart that
conceived it. If he or his party cannot
understand it, it is because they are too
stupid to do SO, or act the knave and
appear not to do SO.
This man "Tax Payers in the face of
an explanatory statement published by
me in the Daily Adudnce that the Bar
Room tax not being return I'd TO me as
special taxes was included in Real and
Personal taxes, states that the said tax
is unaccounted for. His statement is
therefore wilfully false, and worthy of
the foul heart that conceived it. My
statement was satisfactory to my fellow.

honest men whose opinion I value.
