THAT INTERVIEW.

Elsewhere in this issue will be
found Mr.. P;ummer's defense to our
criticism oG his Reno interview, rs
published in the journal. The ex-
PLANTATION Of the gentleman, while
somewhat lame, is cheerfully giver
"sF.o- in our columns.
The gentleman is very much off if
he thinks his interview was not care
fully read by the editor Of the INDIE
PENDENT. That little joke about be-
ing accompanied by his wife was rec
ognined as an old familiar chestnu ut
and treated in that light, consequent
~ it was not sufficient to put us upon
notice.
II MI. Plummer did not say the
thidgs attributed to him by the Jour-
nal, Jul comments need not cause
him any distress whatever. We are
forced 10 say however that we can
see but little difference between his
version of the interview and that pub
lished in the Journal, Both are
products of an imagination distem-
pored not by association but for the
want of it.
The INDEPENDENT has no quarrel
with Mr.. Plummer. Its comments
we're not inspired by passion but by
a desire to ward off the evil effects
that such an interview must necessa-
rily have on the prosperity Of this
part Of the State if allowed to go I'M
contrt dicted by the press of the coun-
ty whose interests would suffer most.
