Rev. S. NJ. Davis, pastor Of the Methodist
Episcopal church of this city, requests the
publication of the following communication:
EDITOR FREE TRADER-Sir: In your sdi-
torial of Saturday, June 18th, referring to
my remarks about the Alumni dance and the
Hennepin excursion, you say: There is no
excuse for my conduct"
1t is not my purpose to answer your ar
tcle, as it contains nothing bat what was al
ready stale in the community some days be-
fore it appeared, but will content myself by
asking you a few questions: First. Did
you see my article in the Duly Times of the
10th inst, in which the whole matter WAS
explained, and an ample apology made to
the members of the Hennepin excursion? If
you did, do you think it WAS just the thing
TO publish your article ignoring those facts?
If you did not see it, may not commend you
to little better knowledge Of your facts be-
fore speaking so confidently about the igno-
rance of others. Second. Has it occurred
to you that none of the newspapers that have
assaulted me have once referred to the only
point Of Importance in this issue, viz, the
lance at The Aiumm reception This is the
htht anu ii'hb VI "a '""'
dance was right, then | was wrong. If it
was wrong. then | was right Then why
seek TO divert attention from the only issue
that is of any consequence either to the pub.
lie or to individuals? Trying to make me
odious will neither help nor hinder the sub
ject in this controversy. Third. Do you
affirm that the Alumni dance at Willis 8
hall on the 18th Of inst. was right from n
Christian standpoint? If you do, then
herewith offer to discuss that question with
you in your paper or such other place as you
may indicate. If you do not, will you do
me the justice of acknowledging that have
some convictions even about such matters
as may become not only the privilege but
the duty Of Christian minister to express
though it may "lesSea The Rumber of his friends
IN this ety." Very truly, S. NJ. DAVIS.
