about DIR. Is. OF Mr.. Moore aud there
tore has statement that We were OH
posed To Mr. Moore Is simply absurd
aud silly aud without the slightest

Ing OF their charm aud brIilIaucy OF

soar far beyond hIphug IN ms lofti-
est flights IN the realms II fancy.
> Speaking OF claptrap, we
ask you, Mr.. Editor, If there ever
