the suit Of the state OF Minnesota
against him for taxes on certain notes

greater than the amount of the notes
upon which taxes are assessed and to
q larger amount than all the credits

COMMUNICATIONS.

To the Editor of the DEMoCRAT:-
 I have heard that s. W Kellogg called attention to me as having acted illegally in the Trepannier affair. The public should wait for the results before taking the part of either of us Mir Kellogg is very shrewd lawyer, somewhat familiar with political practices, and it may be that his great indignation is caused by his ardent republicanism. I admit that he is the most unselfsh, public loving politician that ever served a term in congress-admit that, with Cleve- land, he has always held that 'public office is a public trust;" still he is too good a lawyer to countenance the trying of a case in the papers and on the stump be fore the session of the court. I should be convinced, if I did not know the facts, that he had very poor case, as he would not air it so care lessly before the public. Close upon the first case came the revelation of the Mas sicotte affair. Let every good democrat watch both sides, and see if we cannot have what I am sure has never yet occurred in Waterbury, pure election.
