MR.. BoHMRICH REPLIES.
He Has Few Things to Say Concerning
the City Attorney

the City Attorney
Mr.. Editor: Mr.. Coroner, Alderman,
County Agent. fnancier defacto and
Mayor in.spe" rejecting Gonnermann
has issued his declaration of honest
endeavor in Thursdays Evening News.
1t is indeed unusual that honest men
need proclaim their honesty, because
all men are presumed honest until
proven otherwise, and honesty of pur-
pose is but common duty, yet one
may be excused a-scratching when be
feels a-itching. The three headed
official lays down the rule that men if
left alone or given enough rope will
hang themselves, etc.; and it is for this
reason that will lot undertake, at
this time, to discuss the alleged railroad
job, from which the gentleman seeks
dissolution.
But Coroner, Alderman, County
Agent Gonnermann, who in his three
headed capacity never was wire
puller. slobs over in his holier than
thou" prantings and repeats an un-
justifable assault upon the writer's
humble self. He refers. to record
that may contain the names of the
noblest living, and who knows, may
chronicle his name before his sun sets,
for Ben Akiba tells us that all that has
happened before. But when Jonah
was caught a-scheming he thought he
did we'll Ito be angry" His vapor-
ings about fresh importations, "hard-
" naturalized, shows bow badly he
needs hot mush poultice upon his
impudence. If his malicious venom,
not political malice, nay, worse than
that, personal malice, can find no other
stone to throw, well it be. Why, his
attempt to remove from public office a
city official, by making himself judge,
jury and executioner, proof positive
that his accusations would not stand
investigation, shows that he has but
little idea of the spirit of the land upon
the soil of which falls the shadow of
liberty's flag. Then seek shelter be-
hind a pretense of what committee
would have been appointed if he had
proceeded in manner just to all con-
cerned, is building bulwark of wind.
Mr.. Boyle asked for a fair deal,
which should not have been denied to
dog, and all l asked OF one of the
aldermen was to give Mr.. Boyle an
" American deal" For this l was
brutally assaulted, but repeat that
/" when the devil looks into the mirror
he sees his own reflection" and when
Mr.. Gonnermann saw in this innocent
move the "wire- puller," he shows
what an able adept at " wire-pulling'
he himself must be. His innuendo
SANDER cannot ruf1e my even temper
ament. There never lived man nor
woman to whom | owe a just and un-
paid debt, with whom l ever broke a
contract or obligation, from whom I
ever bought and did not pay.
Some men inherit their fortune and
find their grave withoat struggle. ]
am none of them.
Others work, accumulate, and retain
their earnings, meet with no reverses,
and are generally fortunate. So far
cannot as yet join these.
Then there are those running sores
on the body social, whose pathway of
success is strewn with impoverished
men and women, their PROSTATE forms
showing upon their threats the claws of
the vampire. They are willing to coin
blood into Doodle, their base instinct
serves them in lieu of brains, and the
clink of cash is the keeper of their
conscience. God has spared ne from
being one of them.
Then there are the vast army who
are no better nor worse than the
average creature, who from their child
hood days have fought the bitter
battle of life; who lost no opportunity
to improve their intellect; who out of
their own power obtained an academi-
cal training; who, though smitten off
and on by the unmerciful hand of fate,
will live and prosper when their little
critics will be long forgotten; who
manage to provide for their little flock
and aged parents and enjoy the latter's
blessings. To these | claim allegiance
and my good name cannot be blown
adown the wind by the rank breath of
blind malice. Yours truly,
LOUIS G.. BOHMRICH.
