Messrs. Iighe and Duffy Vigorously Deny
Certain Charges.
To the Editor of the Register:
Sir:-In giving hearty endorsement
to the editorial of yesterday in refer
ence to anonymous contributions, as for
instance X, let me say that the writer
has sought to keep out of public print,
even though at times he felt by reason
of the dirty, malicious, underhanded
inuendoes that were cast upon him by
these cowardly sneaks who know they
are lying, but as living comes easy to
them and knowing that they can hide
behind an anonymous signature, they
ply their vocation with all the zeal
wOrthier a better cause. 1t is an old
saying that one can protect himself
from thief, but from liar never"
| speak plainly because it takes plain
speaking to penetrate such animals as
*" it should be a." and little 81
at that, says We meaning the writer,
lives on strikes. We get our bread and
butter from them. Ye Gods! but that
is news to the writer, who has been
in the employ of one firm in this city
for thirty years; whose firm has at all
times treated him with respect, and
who respects them as men of integ-
rity and fairness, and a firm in which
there is never any trouble whatever
Strange, that, isn't it? And we WELD
such despotic sway; we gloat over the
supine manner IA which the citizens of
this community bow their knee to the
labor agitators. Language cannot ex-
press my contempt for such a pusil-
Luminous object who deliberately
brands the citizens of Wheeling as
towards, but after casting the insult in
their faces, like the very worst speci-
men of the yahoo specie as described by
Dean Swift, he shows his bravery by
shining up tree and following their
action in its entirety. Out on such a
miserable poltroon or his like. Shut
them off. Their gable makes one sick,
and were it not for the purpose behind
1t Ito try to goad the people of this
community to ride), it would be
wasting ink to answer such con-
temptible coyotes, who took their
first and only lesson of life
from Judas. We are not ashamed
of the position we occupy. We do feel
proud that our fellow citizens and
neighbors of all avocations can and
have shown to the country at large.
that they are broad-minded and cour-
ageous enough to put their stamp of
disapproval on methods unfair, unjust
and inhuman.
We feel proud of the fact that they
will continue to do So, and every at
tempt made by such slabbering satel-
lites of cruel and crafty corporation
to goad them will only result in still
further instilling in them that grand
principle so aptly described by the
poet, For ever shall Right come up
permost, and ever shall justice be
DONE" If that parody on humanity.
x. would only come out. if he only
had the courage to even ask Duffy &
Co.'S permission to ride on the cars. it
would be granted. because after he did
get on, the public could not see him.
1t would take microscope with the
most powerful lens to discover him. and
after they had located him they would
be disappointed because they found
nothing.
Yes, Mr.. Editor, shut them off. Tell
them that Tighe, Duffy. Salisbury are
ever and will ever stand for the uplift-
ing of mankind, Their cause is nu-
manity's cause. We are human. We
make mistakes. We don't DENY it.
Put in this case we are eternallv right.
We have submitted our case to the
only proper tribunal, the people at
