nditor me short space TO reyly 10
communication IN the last issue Of the p1r
Tobacco Times in which | am sought ie 3,
held up TO ridicule in a most brutal and wi,
gar manner, because | have been doing som.
clerical work in the Office OF the Regisler &
Willis. Emanating as the anosymou, com,
m s1ication does from worthy psi-
scalswag, Democrat and Republican.
ny opinion is that the aforesaid NO.
Unsuitable attack upon me is unworthy d
any reply whatever. But, at the request Of Der.
sonal friends will briefly state nv conn,c.
ton with the Office Of Register of viii, and
let the public judge whether such connection
justified the reapine up Of old political f,uas.
and the low and vulgar manner of express
ing my connection with MIR. MsuHely.
While living in Port Tobacco Mr.. Mat,luFly
said to me that on the following da7 he
would 5e compelled to meet some railroad
officials in WILMINGTON or Philadelphi. do
aot remember which, on business of import
snce, and, as The Orphans Court would be 10
session that day he would esteem il great
favor if wonld perform the duties Of the
Office until his return, the day following and
he would give me fair compensation

quest va. sworn in as deputy and performed
the duties as requested, my connection with
the Office of Register Of Wills exririnp tor the

dwelling, for which | paid him the regular

Tor enclosures out-ouiidihgs' ETC. and lten'
neg citations were begun, and satisfactorily
arranged, by which could get the amount
of timber necessary for my purposes amount
ing to about twenty-five dollars, upon eondi-
ton, not having the cash. and being Feuer-
ally regarded as an accurate and iapid cOpyIst,
that would do recording in th. office of the
Register of Wills sufficient to pay The bill,
which am now doing. These are true
statements of the facts, and the question of
"Plater' as the scalawag pair, over the sig
nature of one, puts it, or non Platter, did not
enter my head while making this small but
legitimate business deal. The attempt of the
worthy pair to compare my position
with that OF young Sinclair, who formerly
Republican, now holding a position in a
State Tobacco Warehouse, is simply bosh.
Sinclair left the, Republican party last year,
and | am informed left it permanently and
this year voted for the Democratic nominees.
/, upon the other hand, hold no Democratic
office, and while not believing it vas good poli-
