EDITOR REPUBLICAN,: In your issue of
18th Inst, you published statement re-
garding Single Tax meeting held at Sec
ond and Harrison sts., Thursday evening,
tho 10th inst. which Is wholly false from
beginning to end and hopoyou will make
the following correction:
Twas the speaker or advocate of Wind
lordism, rs you put it, and for the infor.
nation Of your many readers will say,
tho Germans present were not called An
archists, nor was tho Windlord yanked
from the stand and forced out Of the audi
encc, nor did ho Single Taxer want IN
ofiicor to resort TO flstic encounter
The facts regarding said meeting arc
these:
A box was borrowed from the ncighbor-
ing store and the mister spoke from sumo
for three quarters of an hour without any
interruption aud only II few ques tions wero
asked. Mr.. Hamilton was then introduc-
oil, who spoke for half an hour TO very
attentive audience. AT the close of his re.
marks the writer again took ihn stand and
proceeded to answer some questions pre-
scented by u lady socialist.
During tho discussion the lady drew
comparison between this country and Ger
many, claiming that Socialism thore had
lifted that country far above America, to
which | replied that it was strange so
many Germans left that good country to
come to this poor one. At this point a
mnn apparently too full to know what he
was about remarked that it was n lie and
staggered toward the box, bat was inter
copied by his own friends and taken from
tho crowd, and the questions and answers
proceeded. AT n quarter past eleven the
meeting closed in II quiet and orderly man
ncr. Respectfully,
