What is the matter with "The RAM
bier" of Lowndesville, and what does he
want, anyhow? Every reader of the In
TELLIaENcER knows that for some time
he's been seeking a controversy with US.
Now he's got it and bowling on account
of it. He reminds one of the little fellow
who cried for the wasp, then screamed az
soon as he got it. But In his last article
he says he doesn't care to enter q dispute
with US. "Well, the fox wanted to retire
after he had lost his tail in q trap, be-
cause he couldn't keep up his counte-
nancs." He talks about disgusting arti-
cles. Just read his writing Of the 18th
issue, please. The boys say 1t is the re-
suit Of a too intimate association with Old
Ned Riley. And whilst we say that no
gentleman would have been guilty
of such, we are inclined to bear with him,
knowing that tits the result Of q sap-head
and not G bad heart. We presume that q
man of his calibre who contributes to a
daily paper and pays ten dollars a year
for the same, can we'll afford to make q
beaver-dam fool of himself, if only to de.
nounce the Moseley correspondent.
Again, he says "we cannot regard any
one beneath our notice, but as long as
any one, we care not who, maintains that
there are streets at Moseley we shall
brand him as a cowardly liar" Now,
Mr.. Gambler" I must tell you that you
have shown a reckless disregard, not
only for yourself, but for "others," all for
your own qualification. Evidently you
are simply a negative evil, devoid of mo-
tive for objective good, subiectively alb
own pleasure at the expense of time, at
the expense of other people, their con-
%venlence, feeding like a louise on other
peoples heads, and preparing your idle
brain for the DEVILS workshop. But the
most contemplate part ofyour writing
is, that you copied it from an article that
Beatty Sherard wrote in April, '96, de-
%nouncing one Of the State Constables.
And to say the least, you are 8 small po-
tato and rotten at that, and there is no
language which can properly carricature
your littleness and your meanness.
