Mr.. Editor,-That blackguard,
who styles himself DR.. Eddy, and
heads the Kickapoos, who are operat-
ing in this place, says the newspapers
all speak we'll of them except the
MONITOR, and that you went into
your boots when he Eddy told the
people what he thought of your paper.
How is it? INQUIRER.
Before the Kickapoos came to Barton,
the editor of this paper was in Lyndon
vile and made some inquiries about the
character Of the Kickapoos as individuals,
also in regard to their performances. The
report was unfavorable, and we took oc-
casion to warn our people against them.
We did not attend their performances
here, but understood that they compli-
mented the MONITOR quite highly in their
style. We took pains to inquire whether
their talk and performances were respect
able, and learned that here, as at Lyndon
vile, they were vulgar, and that much
was said that could be called ''smutty. -
We believe that they are like many hum
bugs and frauds that go about the coun-
try getting money from the people and
giving them little or nothing in return.
In regard to being "well spoken of by the
newspapers" the facts are that several
papers have set them up as frauds. I see
in this county, at Island Pond, etc, they
have run advertisements in some of the
papers, and this part of the press has not
been honest enough to tell the truth
about them. The parties, when they
came here, tried to hire lot of the editor
to set up their tents on, and stated that
they should want advertising space. We
did not endorse them, did not advertise
for them, and do not believe in them at
