The foregoing is a reply to commune
cation in our cotsmporary, the contents va
have not read, and will explain Itself
Mr. a. s. s. Pirant tCare Of Chronicte:)
Yours at hand I ouce knew a whole
family of "Pirants," but none with the re-
uarkable combin alton of initials you sport.
Possibly you were christened on account of
yourself. At any rate am pleased to hear
from you.
Ypu have shown an intelligence in dis"ov
ern5 the hidden meaning of my '.ens4
tlunsl article" that does credit to you, ,r
your advisers. A hidden meaning which l
had not even guessed, but can plainly see
since you have pointed it out. 1t is Wen
derful the talent you display in that liLe.
s .ch talent must eventually be rewarded.
and if Yen devote your time to 1t must GER
tainly place you the Fl st repre- 'entative of
the "PIrant" family In the new asylum at
Uuion.
You say ''the mountain lsbored and
brought forth but little" 1t didl you are
right. It brought forth almost nothing"
on the Chronicles editorial page, too.
" Keno should know what everybody else
in the county knows" Of course, he does
everybody, who reads your letter, knows
that "Ksno" must have trampled on your
pet corn at sometime or other. And there
is another feature OF the case, also. that I
am not ashamed to have every body In the |
county know, and will tell if you make |
your true name Known. e. Why tread |
IN your corr.
Don't worry that great brain of yours
yussslng what nay object was in "rushing
ranctically out at this time" 1t was
rholely to haye little amusement with
ono rap-head like yourself, who dent even
sntrol hi oaun vote.
Thsre was positively not the slightest In
ention to intimate that anyone in Dufur
ad knife for anyone; and, if il was taken
hat way by ANYBODY. it was because a

elieve that Dufur ought to knife certain
lass, should the Republicans be so unfort

Mr.. BaIch was beaten because he lived in

IT. Balch WAS aware of the fight about to
Ike place before his nomination. took the
lances, made fair fight and lost. Ne
an has ever heard HIM express . regret. q
II talk of knives has come from those who
Ied them On him.
On account of the money wasted during
e past campaign, and the Democratic
mes we are experiencing, Mr.. B. is unable
purchase the support of such Republicans :
yourself, and consequently will, as you =
Y, net be candidate for anything this
