IN last Saturdays Democrat Mr..
r,Imou came out with long commu-
.;cotion lauding himself and abusing
his opponent. 1t was not signed, but
bis ear marks were too plain NOT to be
yscopnized 10y any one reading the ar
acIe lie did not dare to have the ar
,icIe printed earlier in the campaign.
INIT waited until the last regular issue
of this TAPER had appeared so that
there would be, as he thought, no
chance to answer bis scurrilous attack.
Mr.. Colman devotes considerable
snace to us. accuses us of falsellood, etc.
He SAWS. THE editor Of the Review is
we'll aware that Mr.. Colman's work as
district attorney has been impartial,
effective and satisfactory" Softly, soft
lvMr. Colman. We know no such thing
W, remember that the only criminal
ease that you have tried in Circuit
court was the State against Carter, In
which YOU we're defeated. We remem-
her how YOU caused his arrest after he
had once paid me for the same Otfens1
md how YOU followed him to the Cir
cult court and did not stop your pcrse-
cu,ion uutil he was discharged OH the
verdict of the jury that he had been
Il. f.,,. "a
Il was the common talk of the
town that You were uctuated IN your
pei sccuton solely because you had Il
grudgc against Mr.. Ca.ter's father-in-
law, f, w. Mcintyre. The only thing
! in our hast article that Mr.. Gilman
claims us false, was the statement that
he had not secured conviction and to
prove bis assertion he says. "Six men
awnow paying the snalty of felonies. :
That is true, but no thanks to Mr.. Col
man. Of those six, two werc CON
victed by Mr.. Barns and the other four
plead guilty and we reiterate our state
ment that in his whole term of Office,
Mr. Colman has not secured the con-
yiction III Circuit court of u single
offender and defy him to disapprove
it.
In the course of his article, Mr.. Col
man asks, what has ID. Z. R.ordan
done to entitle him to the votes of the
people, Although Mr.. Riordan has
been here but II year and half, the
confines OF newspaper article is too
small to cnumerate all that he has done
mat entities him to the votes Of the
people OF this town, but we Will answer
question in part, by quoting an ar
IeIe from the Democrat (which ought
10 be good authority for Mr.. Colman)
published some time ago and before
'ne editor had got so mixed up in poll
lSS AS to have lost all regard for truth.

Attorney ID. l.. Riordan spent sew

Ainocqua and Arbor Vitae on legal

'D'' most successful lien lawyer the
