TACOMA, Oct. 10.
To THE EDITOR: / will ask your indul-
genee that l may present a lew facts
through the columns OF your paper in regard 10
certain statements that appear over the sigma.
ture OF one Charles Woodwork and IL. W.
Biandy. would not pay any attention TO them
were it not for the fact that your readers are
unacquainted with the character OF the men
who have signed these documents, anu Tor the
further reason that I have many friends ana
acqusintances in Seattle and throughout the
state who read your paper and none other.
will pay Mr.. Charles Woodwork. or any other
ssenograper on the face OF Gods earth, $loo IN
gold coin If he will produce a single item OF
charge against me for any work that he had
done for me and that did not and have not
promptly paid him. Mr.. Fremont Campbell
sought the nomination before the bar. His
friends worked persisteutly. He was fairly
beaten In the contest, receiving but thirty-swo
votes out OF l62 cast. As q member OF that pro-
fession. / was in honor bound TO its decision
So was he. He made a canvass OF Pierce county
to defeat the oar. He was defeated, and almost
so unanimously that his contingent could
scarcely be heard As chairman OF the county
central committee, am under obligation to do
my duty to the candidates upon the Republican
ticket, and so long as God gives me power to
maintain Republican principles, defend Re-
publican candidates. shall do so. The
threat contained In Campbel's letter and
Woodworth's letter are in keeping
with the records of Pierce county court
house. Bulldozing 10 the chief character.

presented that document to me there
would have been . necessity for q furniture re-
pairer to repair some OF my chars. He knew
where / was and he took good care not to see
me. I paid no attention to his letter. because
knew so long As it was in Pierce county. where
he was known, 1t did not require my attention.
There is no human being On the face OF the
earth who should keep out of print more

Campbell's stenographer. / keep scrap
history from which l dig great deal OF
information, and by reference to volume b. on
pnse y thereof, have q record OF Mr. Charles
Woodwork as 1t appeared in the testimony OF a
trial in this town. where it was shown that he
was kicked out of q lodging house because it
was shown that the room was too lively for the
proprietor thereof. There are good and reputa-
bic citizens in this town who too well know the
fact.
So far a. Mr. Blandy Is concerned. he never
did but one piece OF work for me, and that WAS
before court commissioner. and was COM
PEELED to pay the court commissioner SO for one
hours work. and MIR. Blandy received his $40
per day for the time that he was engaged in
the work, and was also paid $3.50 for making
transcri pit of it. and If he can show where he
ever did any other stenographic work for Z. W.
Taylor will make him . present OF $50 in gold
coin.

Fremont Campbell ] have stuck at has record
rs an officer and political candidate: in that l
am justified by tho Pierce county records. II
what l state of him il untrue, let them appeal
to the records and see wherein err, and God
knows would be only too willing TO take back
what have said. This fellow Biandy is rather
"bian0y." DO not propose to enter Into any
controversy with them-they are unworthy of
notice; they are OF the character OF men who do
not deserve very much attention. AS for the
statement that had lost five cases. L desire to
say that perhaps l have lost four cases in Pierce
county, and the supreme court, from some
cause or other. have agreed with me and
differed from the learned judges below in all
but one. In the only case that ever lost In ths
supreme court, it SO happened that neither of
the judges of the superior court of Pierce county
tried it. or perhaps might have been more for
tunate in getting error in the record and thereby
have secured a refusal AS Specimen brick
OF one OF the cases lost: A Swedish girl in Ia
coma, In the employ OF a wealthy merchant as q
domestic servant, notified the lady of the house
that she desired to quit. Thereupon the lady of
the house began to give her general Caudle
lecture and ordered the girl to leave. She left
the house, and when upon the public street, the
husband, having returned to the house, called
her back to get her pay, and when she
stepped into the house she was most
numerically whipped by the man and
his wife. Her clothes torn, her face
scratched and otherwise I'LL used, and the
learned Judge of the superior court OF Pierce
county held that she was not entitled to recover
cent That case is now pending In the su.
preme court OF the state OF Washington, and
every dollar of the bill has been paid by me in-
dividually and personally because she was un-
able to put up nickel So outrageous was the
decision OF the learned court that the counsel
for the defense has never appeared in the su-
preme court to back the judgment of the SUI
perior court OF Pierce county. and the defendant
has sought me more than once to settle the mat
ter, but when the supreme court has passed on
the question viii talk settlement 1t Is for
incompetency of the Judiciary, for negligence Of
public duties, is the reason why tho bar has
written In their wrath in Pierce county and de-
manded a change
During the present political campaign. for fear
that Mr. Woodwork or Mr.. Blandy may not be
rooms and in Ball building. at the corner of
Pacific avenue and Thirteenth street, at the
same place as / last met Mr.. Blandy, and
weigh just l2i pounds. Respectfully.
