To the Editor-- The socalled Star com
municaiiOD, viii appeared IN a recri {
issue Oi your paper, served To arouse tn
hidden energies of the Gazstte and not

Gle referred TO. il was evidently pointed
enough TO prick somebody in tender
SPIT.
The village sheet OF the 9th inst.
makes it quite clear that the bosses
gathered for consultation. Among the
elect thus brought together, was the ever
ready, but misguided editor of the "reII-
resentative republican paper of this sec

any helpful suggestions, he is permit ted
TO record the bright sayings OF the mas
tiers present. Alter much consideration.

star. In close relationship with our Sam.
In Tact some OF the more knowing ones
present claim that the two are quite
chummy." The political dictator. now
arises and makes known To the council
then in session, that the Star communi-
cation is ''obtu-e." Satisfied with this
catch OF fish, the bosses retire aud leave
the gay Judkins To blow the horn. Now

gentleman from the "Hub, is willing to
admit that he is an all-rOund good TEL

Ice, "A banner with the strange device"

OF course the "Star" article is "obtuSe''
when measured by the ability Of the CT
z-tte, TO see point or take a hint. No
doubt, this fellow who IA blowing biz
horn, when he has no ii h To sell. thinks
the Lords Prayer is obtuse because il
reads, who art in heayeD, Instead OF who
art in Houghton."
This same orb OF brightness, (the Ga
zette,) says: The Star article carries
little or NJ sense" OF course there il.
according To the creed OF this paper, no
sense IN ANYTHING that may possibly in.

Surely an opinion that is uttered by
the representative republican paper of
this section" must be entitled TO som.
consideration. Well now, who saws rhe
Gazette ia the representative paper? No
one ever has or ever will say anything of
the kind except the man who occupies
the editorial chair.
