after visiting many lands, has returned
to the state and re-engages in the news
paper business at Minot. The first issue
of the Optic is billed to make it's appear

MR.. BLACKSToCK's DEFENDER
Answered by Irrefutable Facts From
the Records

VENTURA, Sept 22-The article In the
Ventura correspondence of The Herald of
the 10th inst. was attacked In the Times of
last Wednesday by a friend of Mr.. Black
stock. In reply. it may be stated positively
that the article in The Herald is absolutely
true, with the exception of ono slight cler-
zeal error, in which II read was beaten for
the office of justice of the peace" when il
should have read district attorney" What
the defender means by saying that Mr..
Hlackstoclt lost the election by two votes
on account of the money spent by Bard
and Murphy, who were senatorial aspi-
rants from this district, your correspondent
is unable to find out after interviewing
many prominent Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. The next statement, that Mr. Black
stock has been town attorney since 1871
is manifestly untrue as the records in the
town hall will show. 1t is true that he was
appointed town attorney after the refusal
he successfully held against all corners
up to 1859.
The defender then says that Mr.. Black
stock has been a Republican since 1884
Could he prove this statement he would
surprise a few old-timers In Ventura who
voted for him on the Prohibition ticket.
The last statement of the article IS made
of whole cloth, and its untruthfulness can
