From Mr.. Bryan's Pencil" is

burn News, in which the beligerent
member of the town board breads"
The TIMES and it's editor up to the
queen S taste-he being a bull-head-
ed Englishman this of course comes
perfectly natural. We suppose the
heading From Mr.. Bryan s Pencil"
is calculated as an evidence of proof
that Teddy really wrote this second
communication, although there is
nothing to Indicate that from his
swelled brain flowed this physic of
words. There is nothing particular
lily contained in the article except a
flood Of abuse for the editor of this
paper, and to our mind Mr. BRYAN
was not the author Of the last com
munication any more than he was
the first one. We base this belief
on two grounds; the first of which is
that he hasn't brains enough in his
crocodile head to write anything.
and secondly, If he had we must
fatter him with the opinion that if
be really could write a newspaper
al ticle, that he is not as big a liar
as the article would indicate. The
writer, whoever it may be, is quite
immaterial, Gas Mr.. Bryan fathers
it with his slgnature), and he is re-
sponsible for the use of his name.
But now Ted, seriously, don't you
think it little inconsistent for you
to twit US on that matter between
US and bayfield, county, which has
been pending in the courts for
year or more. There is in that
question of fact and law which the
courts have to decide, and which de-
cision we are willing to abide by.
We have been at all times ready to
meet the issue, and if we are to
suffer through having accommodated
others, to take our medicine, and
then as you suggest Il am sure
that a man of my ability as post
master, editor, and would be boss
of the republican party can find
some way TO fix up the little mat
ter | trust it will not bother he
dis much rs the little matter did
you the time you were in charge of
the funds of the A. 0. =. W. of this
city, and misappropriated the
money of your brothers to your own
use, and which finally took an order
of the courts to make you settle.
You might be of assistance to US, in
this matter, a little, and we would
suggest that that little bill of $500
you have been owing since July,
1897, would help out some.
THE man that swims once will
again." why not the story of the
man with a hand behind his back.
With regards to your statements
regarding the manner of the APP
pointment of the editor of this
paper to the position of postmaster
we would say you paint a livid pic
ture, and one that if true, would put
the Devil himself to shame; but we
have no desire to discuss the silly
charge, as there vas nothing in our
candidacy that we need to hide, and
we secured the place in an honor
able contest, which fact you are the
first one, to our knowledge, to Ques-
ton. The congressman, or no one
else was deceived, and we have al
ways felt conscious pride in the
fact that we were able to obtain the
handsome endorsement which we
filed, and which secured US the
place.
We are pleased to note that Ted
is now quoting Kipling wonder if
he knows who Kiplng is? It's quite
an improvement over ''De Milk in
de Cocoanut, " with which you wor-
ried the people so long
The only trouble with our 'sec
ond the notion friend is that he
explodes too easily, and then hasn't
any ammunition left to shoot at the
mark
