Nevada County picayune., 1889-10-02
Hon. o. s. Jones.

caused you to lose all sense of de- cency and adopt the vernacular of your new colored associates. You are not quite up with them yet some of them can use more filth than you. While they have decency enough not to use it in public, you seem proud of your new acquisition and rush into print to answer charges you say you care nothing about. " 1 presume to air yonr capacity as a carrion crow to gather filth and spew it out upon long suffering people.
 This article of yours for minister of the Gospel is q curiosity. You seem angry, my brother. You should not let your angry passions rise. You should have taken the pill as l advised you. Passion dis turbs the beauty of your salntly countenance. You rushed into this correspondence to answer charges "you cared nothing about,' and when you see you have displayed your Republican cloven foot, you only answer by saying 1 am liar. Mark you, you hare still not denied q single ch0rge / nude.
 You think you are godfather of the Republicans, when you are only q political 5eggar, and you pour out your buzzard roost slime for them for a small office upon the same prin- ciple that a monkey dances for a nicile.
 You say it is not worth while to deny such q blatant, etc., falsehood as the one 1 use when l accuse your political friend of swearing the ne- groes when they joined the wheel to vote the Greenback ticket. Of course it is not worth while to deny it for you kao,c it is true. Your own side told it, and for once 1 believe them, especially as four good Demo- crats vouch for it.
 You say 1 knew there was no Re- publican ticket in Pulaski county last fall-that it was a |. l.. r. ticket, and the Republicans did not name man on it, Well, suppose l was wrong, it is only so much worse for you. Remember, the court de- cided your l.. l.. P. candidate was not entitled to his seat on account of the outrageous and damnable frauds committed during the election. Yet you say I lied and the l.. L. P.'s did it. So you plead guilty to stealing one county. You are welcome to the point you made on that. If l lied you walked into my trap. So what are you?
 The next thing your venom attacks me because you say l took the street to raise money for Old Man Darden. Here you accidently came very near telling the truth. l took the street and helped raised ten dollars to as- sist Mrs. Darden and her helpless children. Perhaps you would like to know why did this? First, be- cause it was an innocent woman and children in distress and l undertook to help them, and every man l asked but you helped me. Your bowels of compassion seemed to be constiPated. Second, the Federal Court sent Oar den, a Democrat, to the pen for two years for keeping one negro from roting, and only fined two Republi- can negroes ten dollars each for al lowing thirty illegal Republican rotes east. And the letter Mrs. Darden wrote, acknowledging receipt of the money, was so full of gratitude that It would have repaid me if l had worked whole month to get money for her.
 Next you say denied buying the votes in 1886, but tried to call atten- ton away from it to the yellow tick cts. No, l only wanted to show that when you want to publish falsehood for political purposes you don't stand back on details.
 Then you howl yociferously be- cause l charge the Dispatch with be- ing the Republican organ of Prescott. l said so because just after the last election it said it was glad the Re- publicans got in. IL supported col ored men for office over competent white men in the municipal election and advised it's friends to do so. The |. l.. P, and Republicans supported the same candidates for office last year. The |. l.. r. candidate for Governor last year has been endorsed by Powell Clayton for an office under the Republican administration, The colored Republicans in thls county, are demanding q division on your ticket next year. and just before the last town election, the Dispatch said it was right to divide with them. This. my brother, is why l called it the Republican organ of Prescott.
 You say you cared nothing about the charges made of course you did not, but why then have Nop poured out four columns of moral putridity to convince the public you did not care for 1t. No one supposed you would care if they believed your pretension, to be Jetlersonin Democrat, but with you Jetfersonan Democracy and race equality Is about the same. You may rest assured you have deceived no one by your articles. If you defend the Republicans, you must be closely allied to them.
 You say | am the tool of the Gazette, You ought to know, for you have q wide political experience. You were first a kuhlux Democrat, then a Greenbacker, then political Wheeler then |. L. F., and now vnn have joined the Republicans as >caveA-
