GoNNERMANN AGAIN REPLIES
He. Answers Some of Rthe Insinuations
Made Against his Character


Mr.. EDIToR-As / stated in my last
communication in your paper of Nov.
IL, 1897, that expected more or less
criticism from a certain paper and the
gang connected with it, all on account
of the truth told them, wish to make
a short reply to the remarks in the
editorial of the Gazette of Nov. II.
In the first place the mayor asked
me to get the endorsement of my
mother as TO my son-like honesty. Now
his remarks, it seems to me, are made
to create trouble in family where
there certainly is none. Such remarks
simply show the nature of the Beast.
However, I will make the mayor a
proposition. He is to go and see my
mother, ask her if do not treat her as
good as any son can in every respect,
also ask her if any one of my family do
not treat her the same, if she says | do
not, he is to brand me a liar; if she says
| do treat her right, / am to brand
Culley liar Furthermore, if there
was any misunderstanding between my
mother and myself, it certainly is none
of your business. Such things only
create trouble where there is none.
So far have tried not to mix any
family affairs in this controversy, but
if hear any more on this subject you
may hear something drop from this
side, which may not be very pleasant.
The public in general condemn a man
for such remarks, especially when the
public knows it is simply a malicious
lie.
Regarding the, question of my former
partners will say that that question l
will explain in very few words. I
certainly do not want any more deal
ings with them, for one of the partners
cost me TIC the tune of about ST. 900, out
of pocket; my connection with the other
between three and four hundred dol
lars, and the third one about $3.50 out
of pocket. So you see it was with them
as it is with you, it was everything to.
gain and nothing to lose. As long as /
put up, it was all right; but as soon as
I wanted them to put up equal with
me it was all wrong. By the way,
while this little question of partners is
up, how is that little deal between you
and Rudolph getting along, which is
now pending in the circuit court? Ex-
plain that.
Regarding your remarks of the West
Main street matter, tos show how SLAM
derous you can make your remarks,
and how much truth there is about
them, the same evening when the
committee was instructed to settle this
matter Aid. German asked me to go
with the committee. [ then said to
him | do not want to go. Two days
after he and Aid. Weyhe asked me to
go to Chicago. / then said if the rail-
road company pay my expenses I will
go with you. also said the railroad
company should by right pay all ex-
penses. They asked me if I thought
they would said if I was on that
committee | certainly would insist upon
them paying the fare. German asked
me if / had 25-ride ticket. told him
l had. German then said why not all
go on one ticket. | then said did not
suppose the railroad company would
object to return the money for fares
and when the committee was at the
company's office stated to Mr.. Cleve-
land that the committee all came in
on one ticket and as this was matters
pertaining to the railroad company the
committee expected the fare returned.
Mr.. Cleveland said make out the bill
and send it to me and l will send you
check. After we had left the Office
Mr.. Davidson remarked: where shall
we get our dinner? I then said the
expense for dining should also be
charged to the company and | stepped
in the Office and told Mr.. Cleveland
that of course the committee expected
their dinner and all expenses paid. He
said: All right, include the same all in
one bill. Was there any harm in thatY
The evening before the committee
went to Chicago Aid. Weyhe came to
my house and asked me to go with
them. Was that crowding myself in
this matter2 The mayor is trying to
make something out of nothing. The
whole trouble is just here, because Aid.
Weyhe told Bohmrich that he did not
think it was necessary for him (Bohm-
rich) to go to Chicago. Fer that reason
and no other does Culley make ali this
talk.
That light question east of Main
street: I thought that was fully ex-
planned in my last communication.
Now, Culley, You are supposed to be
the chief magistrate of this city, and if
this transfer of light was such a terrible
steal, as you stated, why do you sit at
the council meeting and allow the
same. Is it not your duty to see that
this matter is rightedq The best thing
Won can do now ia TO sac that the walks
