reasonable and candid judgment Of
she voters of Pike County, that the
Hon. Miles Rowland Yves misinform
ed two years ago by some one, and is
now laboring under q mistaken i'm
preston concerning MIR. Huffman's
attitude toward Pike at that time
and do not think that go too far
when 1 say that two, ct least, of
Pike County's conferees had gone 20
MI. Huffman and repeatedly asked
of him to 60 over to Pike and end
the baIloting, for the reason that
they we're busy men and their time
and attention we're needed in their
business at home. And l also sub

Pike County whether the erecord does
not show that my attitude at that

Unfairness OF Milford Dis
patch To Mr.. Burnett
Before I close this communication,
1 feel it to he my duty, not only to
myself, but to the voters of Pike
end Wayne counties especially. TO-
explain to them why they have had
no opportunity Of reading any of my
Communications in the Milford Dis
patch.
1 would say that every other paper
throughout the four counties of this
district has published all the com
munications which have thus far
addressed to the voters OF the dis
trict and the Milford Dispatch stands
alone in wnat 1 consider it's unfair
and unjust refusal to print matter
which has been unbesitatingly ac-
cepted by all the other papers in the
district.
On Monday afternoon of May 10th
when 1 arrived in Milford, my broth
err. who accompanied me, called at
the Dispatch office for the purpose of
having my card aud my portrait &C
companying the same, published in
the Milford Dispatch. He also re-
q1ested Mr.. TerwilIiger, the editor,
to make some local mention of the
fact Of my arrival in Milford in the
prosecution of my canvas. MIR. Ter
williger promptly ana emphatically
declined not only to locally mention
my arrival in town, but persistently
refused to print my portrait or any
matter or communications coming
from me. called personally upon
this man TerwilIieer the next morn
ing and called his attention to the
fact that was greatly Rstonished
that he should treat me in this way
reminded him that he and l had
, never had any personal acquaintance
OF business or political dealings; that
could conceive of no reason why he
should treat me 30 uaiairly and so
, uniustly, and asked him frankly to
, stste to me any reason which he
might have, anything that he might
have heard concerning me. in order
that might have the opportunity
which every man should have, Of
either making an apology if wrong
! had been done or an explanation, at
, least, of my position.
This man, in reply to my request,
absolutely refused to state a reason
or TO give me any satisfaction, and
when I again expressed myself al
amazed because OF this unfair and
unjust treatment Of me, he simply
replied with leer on his face, that
!, he supposed that was acquainted
with the game. INN ediately
\ arose from my chair in his Office
faced him with the indignation
which felt, aud made this statement
60 him: "Well, sir. If you mean Il
intimate to me that Mr.. Huffman
has come here and purchased yoI
and your paper, and you mean b.
