ANDERSON US. ANDERSON.

lowing letter from Gilbert Anderson.
in reply to q silly screed from H. u.
Anderson, published in the Globe:
EDITOR ADVANCE: Your issue q
Nov. 4th copies communication from
one H. H. Anderson, in which there
are several thrusts said to have been
intended for me. To satisfy myself /
called upon Mr.. Anderson and asked
him whether or not the article was. in.
tended for me, and he answered that Is
was meant for me and for Danisl Ry-
IN, the candidate for auditor on the
same ticket. lie further said that if
he had stopped to think he would not
have written it, and he added, "Mr.
Anderson, ,Sas you are now the strong.
est, shall be with you, for 1 Ialways 60
with the strongest side.'' .
In the. commun ication referred to lie
says: ''Do not vote for mau who
wants to take you INTO q saloon to
drink, whether he be Republican,
Democrat or Devil" This, Mr.. Edi-
tor, was intended to be grave retlec.
ti0n upon my character and habits. 1t
is true that take an occasional glass
Of beer, but do so openly and not be-
hind the door. use no other liquors
of any description. no tobacco, nor
play any games of any kind. AS to
Mr.. Ryan. he can speak for himself.
He is head clerk and bookkeeper in
Mr.. Becker's large store at Adrian.
The communication says further:
because man moves into our cOun.
ty in the spring and in the fall wants
an office, are we bound to take6 hlm
up," etc. And lit is not necessary
for us to import candidates." The
writer of this communication must
have known that I purchased property
in Worthington in 1888 and removed
my family here, for I did some trading
with him in that year.
This attempt to injure my standing
is entirely unjust and uncalled for. and
warrants the publication Of the testi.
monials given below.
For the past seven years have act
ed as travelling collector for the large
house of N. g. Thompson. of Rock
ford. Ill.,, and have handled hundreds
Of thousands Of dollars Of his money
and papers. and I am still in l,s EN-.
ploy. If had been such a bad man
as H. H. Anderson would have the
public believe, could not have held
the position even one year. I am also
collecting agent for the Winnebago
National Bank Of Rockford and have
the same power and authority as with
n. G. Thompson.
AS to my standing in Dane county.
Wis.,, during residence there Of 2l
years, l might refer to Senator John
Adams. Of Black Earth. to the State
Bank of Madison, to !. T.. Ford, attOr-
ney, to Postmaster. General Villas. and
many others. l give only the testimo-
NAL below from the Madison Demo.
