while collecting blood from Sciio"

The Amende Honorable.

Reproducing It's recent criticism of the
Petersburg Index-Appeal, the staunton
Spectator says:
1.-THE 1ndex-Appeal Of July 49, 1905,
displays more heat than we think8due
under the circumstances on account of
the above item. The only words it
could seriously object to are these: Has
some OF the campaign fund Of this year
reached the office Of the Index-Appeal?'
1t is a nero question, containing no
charge, though possibly contains an Of
fcnsive insnuation. We state very
frankly that we did not intend to be
offensive We think the editor super
senstive--but we had no intention of re-
fleeing on his personal character, but
only in another form were desiring to
ask reason for his new found admira-
ton for Senator Martin, The whole
thing was jocular, and never seriously
meant. We are sorry that our contem-
porary took It so seriously. We would
not have been offended had no asked US
the same question In the same way under
similar circumstances"
