That Dunkard Thuse Again.
To the Editor of the New DOMINION:

To the Editor of the New DOMINION:
My attention was called to an article
in the Post of the 22d in reply to an ar
ticle in the New DOMINION of which
was the author. The correspondent
does not deny any part of my statement,
for he knew it was true. Reliable proof
can be furnished by those acquainted
with the circumstance.
j. T. falls back to the days of the home
guards, time of which | know little.
have never heard of any Democrat in
this community that ever fled from the
face of the home guards. | don't think
there is a man in our community big
enough coward to do that. And | have
inquired of several of Greene county's
oldest democrats and they know moth
| ing of man ever riding over the coun-
ty circulating petition praying Con-
gress to restore the former tariff on wool.
Nor did | ever hear of any of our demo-
Gratis leaving the State to let certain re-
ports die out, nor engaging in the to-
began trade.
Now let us come down to the present
time and not go back to the times so
many have forgotten. He wants to
know what rebel is. Let him ask
some school boy and he can learn. We
know that he thinks all democrats are
rebels. John d. West the man who has
been subjected to the hardest abuse
served in the Union army and has his
honorable discharge, and yet West is a
democrat and according to ]. T. rebel.
As to the Knights of the Golden Cir
Gle know nothing, but suppose they
are like great many other secret So
cieties, have their object l respect the
Union soldier but when he is drunk do
not think he is any better than any 9TH
er drunken man.
1t is pretty sure they destroyed the
old boat themselves as Mr.. Cooke refus-
ed them his. They thought it was Mr..
Cookies boat they were destroying. We
have heard several of the better mem
bers of their party say this.
1t is a great pity that such capable
man as j. L. should remain in such
small place as sNew Brownsville. His
ability is more suited to New York or
Washington. 1t may be possible that
he will get a seat in the Cabinet, but it
is not very probable. He is like the old
hay stack, standing candidate and if
nothing better can be had he will accept
fourth class post mastership.
He disputes us about taking little or
iiV paw III Poiltltb. lIut. Ont VI our
democrats made a speech at A. J. Cookies
and said the Republican party was rot
ten to the core. If ]. T. was posted he
would know the speaker didn't miss the
mark much, which fact accounts for the
election of Harrison, and the popular
vote did not do this as the majority for
Cleveland was about one hundred thous-
and. j. I. must think no one but him
reads. Pull that beam out of your eye
brother.
We will add that the better class of
Republicans did not endorse the pro-
ceeding, yet some church members were
found in the crowd who said when threat
ened with the law "Go to hi with your
law. We have Republican Judge,
Republican prosecuting attorney and
can get Republican jury, so we don't
care for all the law you can get y
He says we would have raised a rebel
flag If we had dared. This is absolutely
false.
