 Supplementary thereto we will state that the said J. A. Reavis did upon three seperate occasions, ask of the CITIZEN its price for the publication of an article reproduced from the New York World in the Star of August l4, 1887. stating that he had paid Hughes for same, and that be would meet the CITI- ZEN on any reasonable demand ss be was anxious to get said article before the country through the press of the ter ritoFy. That :he CITIZEN wss not to be met IS evidenced by tLe cleanliness of its pages from any dirt ID connection with the advocacy oi the RsaTis claim.
 The present controversy over this bus iness between the Courier snd .he Sttr' is no funeral of ours, but ~e could not 10 the kindness of heart resist ths earn est appeals Of the latter tor a something SO easily obtained. We therefore hope the matter Twill be quietly put to bed and that peace and love will reign in the breasts Of the ao- warning brothers.
