Col. Clay had, within due time
after I wrote my second article,
came out and said how he stood
towards Senator Vest, and had said
he was friendly, I should have
done as I then said I would do,
give him my hearty support. Mr..
Cook endeavors in his paper of the

I was insincere. / deny intoto
the charge he makes when he
says I wrote "to bring on a fight
ON Col. Clay" I did no such
thing, / wrote in the interest Of
Senator Vest, / wrote that the
people might be informed and to
keep such men as Mr.. Cook from
organizing, if possible, to defeat
Senator Vest in 1891. / am not
ashamed of what / have written; I
have merely exercised the right of
a free American citizen and a
Democrat. Whenever that right
is denied nae, then I pray my
end may come. He is bothered
about me writing under q "nom
de plume" If my articles had been
scurrilous in their nature then he
might have complained. They
have been otherwise-fair frank and
considerable. IF Mr.. Cook or any
one wants to know my name SO as
to have no doubt about it, you
are at liberty, Mr.. Editor to give it
to them. | am in earnest for the
reelection of Senator Vest and as
l have heretofore said, shall OPP
pose the candidacy of any man
who wont say how he stands to-
wards Senator Vests reelection.

other word about this matter and
shall not unless I am forced to do
