The Plain Tfnth
Editor pemocrnt-Scntlhel:

php9rB contained again iAhb Wbei
signsd by Messrs Dayey and Burdei
on the stallion question. 1 haye tin
to cay Talk IL cheap, but it take
money to buy good horses and for m,
part 1 care but little what 10 said
My stations have plenty of business
to suit me, and what all outside com
petitors can say against them wont
hurt but very little-as every body
knows it Ia without founuation and
only spite work-and | am surprised
| even have the credit from Messrs
Davey and Burden of having had
even one good speed producing stal.
lion but they say he is dead. 1 thank
hem for even that much credit, but II
you all remember when he was living
he got the hot air, baokcapplng talk
Just the same MS the present ones are
getting it, and II you remember the
same party had just about the same
newspaper matter ahoat, regarding
the grand old heio-" Aleot. But,
told the people that time would chow
who had the best stallion. SO it did,
and you were all convinced, when II
was too late aud the Same thing will
be shown again and time will con
Vince you who has the high class
stations and who has not. Just keep
your eyes on them and their getj and
you will soon see that what tell you
is true.
Now, my oompet tors undertake to
set price on my stations as to what
they would bring IN high class
horse sale. For this important infor.
nation we would say rats" They
surely are not accustomed to buying
high class horses or they would not
make such rotten statements. as for
one of my young stations il question
[ have refused $1,000 twice rhis win
ter by good parties who know the
value OF such horses. Les than 30
days ago one OF the leading men of
the Washington Combination Horse
Sale company OF Washington O. H.,
to be held April 10th to 14th, said
that while one of their firm would
give $1,000 for him they would guar
antee me rise of $500 IL /, would
catalogue him to sell in their com
bination sale-of which they already
bad $50 head of high class horses
catalogued for the April sale Mr.
Sanders fur ther SAID that in going
from place to place soliciting high
cl ass speed stuff for the Washing ton
sale, he never heard of a young horse
praised and talked OF so highly by
horsemen every where az being suob
wonder and such high class speed
prospect as my young stallion 1T
any one doubts this statement, Just
drop Mr.. Sanders line and see what
he says and In my y..opinion allss the
horses that Messrs DAvey ano Burden
own comblnud would not bring that
price
But / don care ii they say he is
not worth thirty cents; that don't
make 1t so, or don't hurt the horse
or HIS business
1t must hurt the other fellow
or he would not hollow 1 told the
Washington people just the same az l
told the Canadian people when they
offered $500 for this young stallion.
that if they gave $4,000 for him they
could have b,m, but now | am l glad
they did not take Kim at that price,
as that price would not touch him
now. III he is of the cross roads var
iety as our neighbors say,-but l
assure you he is too good to- trade
sight unseen. But thank the1 Lord
that the verdict and slander of two
parties does not rule the intelligent
people OF this community.
Out of the lQ9 intelligent farmers
VINO passed in and out of my breeding
barn this past week inspecting my
stock OF which so much newspaper
notoriety has been heard the major
ity OF them make the usual remark |
" You have shown the people to their
satisfaction and we guess 20 ill do
1t again III l ask is for time and
L will convince you and as for myself
they may think ana say of me what |
they choose. | am here, always have |
been here and always expect to be |
here l am willing1 to take my
chances with the balance. 1 guess
the public knows Mr.. Davey and Mr. |
Burden. MIR. Davey is much Older In |
the horse business than l am and |
should be much wiser than 1, while |
Mt Burden is very new in the horse
business and likely knows much more |
about shaving and hair dressing han
he does about the class of stations,
and perhaps ho missad his calling
when he got in the horse business
Although have nothing to say bout
The men or their stock-as the people
tell me thu man that praises his
leighbors and ueighbOr's took has
more friends IN business than the
'nes who fights his neighbors and
leighbor's stock and prsi ises his own.
But | guess ii won't hurt much
Is everybody knows IT is all for spite
