We hear that a couple of parties
are questioning the authenticity of
the letter from Sam Russell which
we published last week. We desire
to refer them to John Russell, who
has the letter in his possession. 1t
was in our possession and we desire
to say that Sam Russell wrote it and
that his opinion is entertained by a
large majority of the soldiers in the
islands. Where is war enthusiast
who will deny that a man like Gen.
Lawton was worth all the islands
and all the inhabitants?
We are glad to note that our ''es-
teemed" brother over the way does
feel thankful to the Democrats and
Populists of this county for favors
shown him in the past. He admits
it in his last issue. 1t has taken him
long time to say so and we some
times think he lcses sight of the fact
altogether. We find no fault with
him for predicting the defeat of any
of our candidates, that he has right
to do, but we do object to his un-
gentlemanly slurs on the parties.
Neither do we care what he says of
US personally-and we will say that
this also applies to anyone else who
may have been expending their
wind-works in denouncing us. We
are not afraid of our record and you
are at liberty at any time to assail
it, we will be on hands to defend it.
Last week he claimed credit from
the Democrats for being responsible
for the residence of this ''embryonic
Democratic statesman us
in Meade county. Now, as we
have said before, we can't help our
age and as to the statesman, we have
never posed as such and never will
until we feel that we have more po-
lltical sagacity than our older broth
er. We have to say further that we
we're employed by him and worked
for him for the wages he paid US,
the same as any other laborer works
at his respective vocation. We also
learn that he made great howl on
the street about this matter and
claimed responsibility for nearly ev-
erything in Meade county. In fact,
'what would Meade county have
been without him." OF course he
needed competent man to work in
his printing establishment and we
worked for him. When he was ap-
pointed postmaster he needed a com
petent assistant-he had the writer
appointed over the protest of some
of his friends that we were Demo
crat-and he knows, as well as he
he knows his name, that w. c. Os
good Jr., or the writer made every
monthly and quarterly report thai
went out from his office for three
years. Shall we say he was notcom
petent to do it HIMSELF He paio
US and don't owe US anything, we
did the work for him to the best o
our ability and are under no obliga
to him. He brought this matter o
employment up and We think we ar,
entitled to our say in the matter ant
