Editor SENTINEL:
| noticed in your valuable paper o
Aug. is, that j. A. Moor.and has beer
suffering from an acute attack o.
campaign colic,' engendered by aI
overdose of what he is pleased tt
term ''SSson'S s demagogic attack or
Shed Hill," but am happy to know
that the Torrance gentleman found a
ready relief through shiS bilious dis
play of diarrhoea of words, conspicu-
ously evidencing constipation of
thought, and if you will be kind
enough to give Sisson [an equal show
ing by publishing this letter, feel con-
fident that my friend Moorland as
we'll as Sc me other Sore-headS will fine
food for thought, which, If properly
digested, will Danish his collie forever.
AS a preliminary precaution we would
suggest that Brother Moorland take
an ounce of conservatism, this will
counteract his mad onslaught, subdue
his malice. coated heart and ill his
soul with love instead OF hatred.
The boaSting and high.Sounding as
Sertion, This talk about S4O0 mile
age grab is all rot'' might appeal to
Mr.. Moorland, but to all honest and
fair minded men who have inveSti-
gated the matter, the facts are too
plain and well-founded to be brushed
aside in any such manner. and the
mere assertion by Mr.. Moorland that
the mileage grab is all rot shows
that his heart has been dwarfed and
shriveled by prejudice against Mr..
SiSson to such an extent that he eth
er prefers to miSrepresent or else is
utterly ignorant of the facts in the
case. for it is a matter Cf record that
Shed Hill supported the mileage
grab" and to his diScredit it can be
truthfuly said that he was among
the few Southerners who embraced
the opportunity to make such dis
graceful haul.
In answer to the question, Would
not a man that would grab $40O, grab
at 81, 500 and doesn't his vote against
putting $1,000 a year in his own pook-
ct answer the mileage ctarge:" We
say emphatically. No. They are Diff
ferent propositions altogether and the
mere question by Mr.. Moorland is ev-
idence of his ignorance upon national
legislation. The S400 grab would
have been legal steal. The $1,000
would have been an illegal steal, as
far as the 58th congress was con-
cerned. No sci of legislators, con-
greSsmen or senators have the power
to raise their own salary for the term
assembled and as far as future Sit
tings were concerned no person knew
better than did Shed Hill that he
would have strOrg opponent for the
ensuing election and he did not care
to be subjected to the humiliation Of
voting raise in salary and then per-
NIT SiSSOn to reap the han vest. Shed
Hill is sharp, I" say the least. Now
as for Hill being 4 professional grab
ber' and SlSSOn an ideal QUICKER,
we have no comment to make. Both
gentlemen are our personal friends.
In regard to being born on the farm"
"a credit or discrediD both gentlemen
are on equal footing and as far as
leaving the farm, no one questions
but what both deserted as soon as
possible. That 1hey have stemmcd

would fill the congressional chair cred.
itably, all agree: then why permit
petty personalities to step in and sap
all the honey from the comb and scat.
ter fury broadcast throughout the
land?
AS for Sisson changing front" and
running on a platform, we simply re-
fer Mr.. M0orland to the adafe: "Wise
men change their minds; fools never
do" Yes, we are aware that Shed
Hill did all he could to elect the
Miles-befogged Williams and the Var.

as far as Williams vote was concern

and yet Shed Hill endeavored to mis-
