Or the many hundreds Of persons who crossed
the East River between 7:3o and o'clock yes

schooner which was making her way up tho

glistenfng In the sun and her snowy hull stand

Willard Howard's new schooner Exile In which
he expects soon to mako q voyage far into the

The vessel reminds ono forcibly of whaling

Mr.. Howard has visited the South American

countries. He has provided his boat with two

The record shows that O'Mallev sued

defamation Of character, and when thew
offered to prove his infamous character
in court of justice, he voluntarily dis
continued and abandoned his suit.
The records in New Orleans show that
O'Malley served six months in the Par

Judge Roman for carrying concealed
weapon, thirty days for assault and bat
terry, thirty days as dangerous and sus-
picious character, fifteen days for carry

rors, libel. shooting at with intent to kill

OMalleE Of the Daily Item, posing as

For IL especial benefit OF the Shreve-

Natsiiss eE>s Ropal;st, and the Winnfela
Comrade. We viii say that We believe
d. @. O'MaIley has done more to retard
justice, protect criminals. defame honesty
and virtue, and debauch the courts of
OF Louisiana than any man in the State,
and we hereby propose to give our rea-
sons, so they may judge for themselves.
A few weeks ago we entered mild
protest against Bro. Hicks. of the Shreye-
port Progress. holding this man up rs an
example worthy OF emulation, and said:
"Since the Progress has started in to
defend Mr.. O'Malley, it should explain
to its cousins of tie rural press just how
innocent MIR. O'Malley Is OF the charge
of suborning witnesses before the city
courts at the time he was run away from
New Orleans in the Italian lynching af-
fair. Also, as to the charge that Mr.. o.
Malley served sentence in the Joliet, H.
linois, prison, we believe it was, there has
never been any statement vouchsafed to
the public by Mr.. O'Malley or any of his
friends, that we have SEEN"
Instead Of meeting our suggestion in
fair, square manner. the Progress came
back in long winded article of vapid
abuse, accusing Us Of endorsing ballot
box stufhng, INDUCING in unchristian
insinuations about matters OF which We
knew nothing, and other incorporate re-
marks, that we passed by withoutnotic
because our reply would necessarily have
been more vigorous than polite. AS
clincher and INSTRUMENTATION. the Prog
ress theD proposed the following bet:
$1,000 that O'Malley was never in Joliet. Hi
nois, and particularly in the penitentiary of
that or any other State charged with any crime.

victed of felony in his life. or has ever been

for any crime that wonid impair his cilizenship
