r ten would object to MIR. Hicks call
lrg their names, and no doubt Mr.
Hamilton would like to know wht
4 the parties are. He certainly can
mean any Of the newspapers publish
eel IN Shreveport, for we are sure
their editors have only the highest
esteem personally for Mr.. Hamilton,
! and we have read them pretty close
and we cannot recall an instance
where any of them have i'll the least
denounced" him. Have the mali
hood, Gal, to come out and say what
and who you mean. People won't
pay any more attention to 1t than
they would if you kept it secret -
Sunday Judge.
Meow dew tell" You'd be great
big man if you could, with your
makeup, wouldn't you?
Now let's see just how great you
really are.
l, 1t would seem that you should
first show manhood before you &C.
cuse me OF its lack; and if you had it
you would have signed your name to
the article in Judge. as you have des-
lgnhted me personally, instead of
LIE PROGRESS, the paper l edit. True
the editor is responsible for the Mt
terances OF his paper, but all big,
brave editors sign their names when
they attack another editor by name,
as you have done.
Z You admit that the squib
quoted from The PoGREs. mad. no
referehce to Judge, as you say. He !
certainly can't mean any Of the news

The least denounced him." this there
fore from your own pen brands you
As an oticious intermeddling, bully
seeking notoriety by an act unseemly
aud extraordinary, hoping to excite
such as comes to all such
characters, 80 ..
3. | am impressed that the pub
tc will decide that by your own
words you have shown that the mat
:er was no concern of yours, and had
you not believed | lacked manhood, h
you would never have written the ar-

4. Personally I hsye had moth
ng to say on the subject at all, and
whatever expression was made was
he voice OF The PROGRESS. This made
10 reference to Judge and it sounds
decidedly queer that you should
ave sqnea!ed so loud. You per-
aaps know that Sam Jones says that
tyou throw stone among a pack of
logs, the one which bowls is the one
which has been struck. Does this
apply to you?
5. My composition, diction and
English al may be faulty; perhaps
ny educational advantages have not
'een equal to yours; perhaps my nat
'ral intelligence is inferior. But
while this may be true, I scarcely
mink any good enlightened friend
would advise me to seek instruction
lnder you.
6. IT / have wasted mora space
IN you than your merit deserves,
charge it to that same lack of man
hood which prevented my treating you
With that silent contempt that such {
'fficious brazenness deserves; as l I
would rather do this than have your ,
ierce disapproval 90 further than the
