any misunderstanding 1t is
useless to say that your request
relative to the matter of publ
cation will be most faithfully
followed out.
Thanking you in advance for
your courtesy in the matter, 4

Sincerely yours,

Herald Special Correspondent.
Hillsboro, N. D., May 26, 1906.
Mr.. F. E. Packard, Herald Spec

Forks, N. d.
Sir: Y ours Of the 10th inst.
from Jamestown duly received.
The papers stating your inter
view with me was written are IN
error, and your article, as far as
it relates to what I said, is sub
stantially correct. However. I
cannot but feel that the COM
ments made by you after having.
quoted what / said, were made
with considerable prejudice!
Many of your statements were
fagrantly wrong, and the article
written from western Traill,
Portland, contained decidedly
unwarranted false reports con-
corning me. i was not on the
Good Seed train at Portland,
having returned to Hillsboro the
day before. There was also no
bill introduced, even, making
appropriation for carriages and
horses for my use, as you state.
The now "Insurgent, IS ex-G Gov
ernor White, was the beneficiary
under that bill and it was espec-
tally passed for his personal.
benefit at a time when the state
absolutely needed the money for
then existing emergencies.
You state "one of the princi-
pal reasons for the anti-Sarles
sentiment in Trail is his unful-
filed promises to men who sup
ported him two and four years
ago. This is absolutely untrue.
Your reference to the recent Hill
lsboro city election is an abortive
misstatement. You say Cow
ernor Sarles made the mistake
two years ago Of making pro-
miscous promises of various petty

Them = And this is a
real factor in the present fight
for denomination, etc. ssNo man
m Trail county could truthfuIly
have made such a statement to
you, and permit me to express
my opinion to you, sir, that no
Trail county man did make any
such statement to you; and if So
/ insist that you substantiate
your assertion by producing the
name of yolr informant. Who
ever it may have been, / brand
the statement as a Wilful false
hood.
You say all you want is a
square deal. Are you willing
to dounto others as you would
have them do unto you. Pos
sioly, but your article cannot be
% construed, If your truthful
tendencies in the past when, as
| am informed, you felt called

as easily warped as they are III
your present OCT upation Of Herald
special correspondent, then the
reason for your disseminating
the ministry is quite apparent. Z
admire an honest man, but
no one has more contempt for
one of dishonest propensitias,
and in your case I. feel justified
in the question, under which
flag are you enlisted.
You attack my integrity, Sir,
and YOU attempt a difficult pro-
position. Though human and
liable to err ia judgment, for
which / am willing to be critiiz-
ed, Indignantly resent your
inuendos that 4 lack id that
sterling article called sinte-
gritty, 8 and for your so-doing /
censure you most emphatically.
f you publish any of this
letter, shall insist that you
publish every word.
