SOME HARD
A Reply to the TyrO Shops Correspond
ent of the Winston Sentinel.

1t appears that the above named
paper has a very prolific correspondent
at Tyro Shops, o called Denmark -
Judging from a communication that
appeared in said paper some time SINCE
and copied by the Davidson DasPGtc"
of Feb. 18th, 1894, under the heading
s'Third Party Campaign" This cor
respondent takes the liberty to use my
name freely and not in the most gen
tlemanly at that, but as he
halls from a place now called Den
mark" we could not expect anything
much better Of him.
We haven't time to throw stones at
all the canine species that bark at us.
yet we trust that all good people will
excuse us In this case, as this n from
Tyro Shops, or Denmark" appears to
be of the BENCH leg tribe, barking from
behind some bushes; you see we have
to Judge him by his voice, as he Is too
eowardly to come out of ambush and
assign his proper name. Well, 1t Is
reasonable to suppose that he has
already been hit, from the way he
yelps and hides himself. Well, did l
call the Tyro Shops correspondent a
PROLIFIC ONEi Yes, and he is; SO PRO
HFIe. that he does not stay even In the
WIDE RANCH OF FACTS. but launches
out on the BROAD OCEAN OF MIsREPRK-
SENTATIoNs, showing clearly that he Is
cleveland Democrat, warpand filling,
thribble gilt, double struck, and war
ranted not to cut in the eye. Well, he
represents me as slipping around, "
&e. The fact is, I was much o
bold than the Tyro Shops correspond
ent. for I travelled the PUBLIC HIGHWAY
nearly all the time in broad day light,
telling my business generally, and
always gave my PROPER NAME; but the
Tyro Shops correspondent fails to give
us his name. But the Tyro correspond
ent asks: Why don't Bro. Hunt, being
q minister of the gospel, come out
boldly and give every body an invita-
ton to join them, # it is a good thingi"
&c. In reply l will say that question
is easily answered. We cannot invite
every body to join the Alliance from
the fact that to invite everybody would
be to invite the Tyro correspondent; 1
am confident that no man is fit to Din
the Alliance that will write such a let
ter as the one referred to, and then
deny it and try to shift the response
bijity on some one else. But perhaps
he is as prolific in denying his own
as he is in making false
statements. Let me give you a little
advice, Mr.. Tyro Correspondent, VIZ:
Never deny being the father of your
own child because it is ugly. 1t would
be far more honorable just to own the
child and tell the people that was the
best you oouldd do. Honest confession
is said to be good for the SOUL"
The Tyro correspondent is evidently
q great sinner and will have to be won
derfully converted before he is fit to
join such q noble organization as the
Alliance, and 1 have but lit
tie hope Of him, as no doubt 'Ephraim
is joined to his idol" i. g., Cleveland
Democracy. Jefferson and Jackson
is good enough, but CIeve-
land Democracy is enough to puke a
dog, but 1 guess the Tyro correspond
ent a gulp it down, make it stick,
and swear that it is good, with the hope
shat he may possibly get a small piece

anything more than the Office of J P.

yow some men will stoop for their bossl
But the Tyro correspondent insinuates
strongly that I only talked to Demo
traits. This is as false as many of the
sworn statements made by returning
boards at the last election. l do not
remember that 1 asked any man what
his former politics had been, but one
voluntarily told me that he was not a

What a shamel
