rlCn!F worm %Z,VND.VD. non why,
if he is such u friend to The stock
holders, don't no buy IT at something
like that price; or, do as did, put
himself to tho trouble aud cXpcnscto
get somo ono clSo to purchase it?
Ho has had several yours to bring
about Il salo of the property, and not
ouo thing has been done in this Iii,
rcction, whilo tho property, in the
meantime, has been dcprccatiuS in
value.
"Through the regular channels in
decd! When he knows, and cvrry
stockholder should now know, that
that channel has been closed against
them by his own acts.
| told MIR. koitt at tho last meet.
ing that if he really believed that the
property was worth S2,OOOOO to bet
ter my bid only iivo ccnts on tho dol
lar and that would forthwith with
draw my bid aud move to accept his,
thereby giving him a chance, accord
ing to his own c3timato, to mako
at least $4,000. Did he 90 it.?
No! No: No. And this is the man
iii public meeting that tried to
make it appear that l said was go
ing TO mako $2OO.OO ont of tho
transaction. Now, let Mr.. Kcitt put
up or ccaso prating about tho prop
erty being so valuable and about
those who havo higher conceptions
than L have of alliance obliga-
tions being turned over to the tender
mercics Of an individual or corpora
ton.
Mr.. Koitt says that ho considers
my conduct highly roprchcnsihlc and
that possibly the officers of tho Ware
house Company should havo warned
the stockholders Of my unallianco
conduct. This, too, is Just like the
cgotistical, sclf,opinionatcd Joseph
l.. keitt. Where does such conduct
come in? Tho Warehouse has served
it's day as an Alliance institution,
and scarcely any business at all has
been dono by the company for sever
al years. Tho property itself is go,
ing to ruin and dopreciating in value
every day. Literally nothing now
is doing and with not hopo in tho
world Of revival Of alliance bust
ness, and yet, this man tells tho pub
lie that tho man who rode from place
to place and friend to friend and
used his influence with them to got
thcm to put their money in this
Warehouse is guilty Of conduc
highly rcprohensiblo because no is
now making an effort to got back fol
these samo people some Of the money
ont Of a property now doad, which
they, under other circumstances put
inro it, and this comes about bccaus,
Mr.. Keitt feels slighted az the bos.
Of tho whole concern. MIR. Kcitt'
scnso Of honor is so high and highl,
refined that ho reminds mo Of tn,
lady who was in the act Of drowning
when she was offered assistance by
stranger She said to tho gentle
man: "No sir; ! decline to uccrp
your holp-wo have not boon intro
duced." This, you, know, is tn
proper and regular channel.
Mr.. Keitt speaks Of certain on
terpriso about two years ago failing O
account Of an unusual stringcncy i
money, which, if it had succeed, thi
property would havo been acccpte
Mt 100000. Is this truo? In tn
first place the reader should bear i
! mind that thero is Il big difference i
property valued at 50, 10000 bcin
put in joint stock company an
D 100000 in actual cash being pal
l down. in tho second place yer
y distinct impression has been loft O

t my own that this samo high valu'

II ORC to do in keeping others froI
o putting their cash money into the pr
