EDITOR OF THE REPUBLICAN:
notice in the Cinch Valley New of
last week a communication from w h
Grimsley, of Bearwallow, in which he
delights to boast of the little pccun,ary
aid Mr.. Stuart gave his father whe he
was in destitute circumstances, viii n ia
very commendsble in Mr. Stuart if true.
But in the case of his donation to Mrs.
Joseph Hit bits he does not deserve any
credit whatever. lie was a candidate
for Congress at the time the donation
was made, and, doubtless. he thought
to gain the affection and votes of those
good people by his show of generosity
If Mr.. Stuart is so good and generous
as Mr.. GrlmSley says he is, why doe he
not show his liberality to the men that
work for him?
When the young man who got his leg
broken at Mr.. Stuart's saw mill WIS IN
distress, did Mr.. Stuart visit hum?
Did he send him q surgeon to set the
broken bones? Our informant answers
no.
Did he visit Henry Jackson and fam
lily in their sfiiiction? Did he help Mr..
jackson meet the expense of his Zoe
tor bills when fever was sapping the
life blood from him and his family? Our

forced to sell the last COW he posse ;eed
to meet the doctor bills. Now, if Mr.
Stuart is so generous why does he not
attend to the people at home who work
for him instead of going to BuchG asn
county and giving his aims. to be praised
by Mr.. Grimsley, and for ought we
know, has got MIR. Grimsley hired TO
about every time q donation ia m lde
How long has Mr.. Stuart been in the
donation business? How much does Mr
Stuart pay you for blowing his J tile
horn every timo he makes one OF his
wonderful contributions? We do bllme
Hr. G. for praising the hand that f eds
him
AS to the contributions of the "poor
Postmasters there is nothing to 1t;
but rs to Bascom and the poor en-,
their relations are mutual and they arc
on the best of terms. The wage earn
ers know that Bascom is their fri. nd
He has given them protection aga nst
the pauper labor of foreign count lea +;
ne has given them a law that will n axe
life and limb more secure for rail vay
employees; he has given them a law
that will make the mines more sec ire.
and many other things we could en-
ton which space forbids.
AS to his donations, which are m: ny,
We leave it to his neighbore to test fly.
Mr.. Slemp gives pretty freely Il bis
people, and when he makes a gif he
does not have any strings to it; he does
not want jaclIass to run over the C, un-
try and bray about it, as MIR. G. Goes
about the few paltry dollars of MIR.
Stuart
Mr.. Grimsley tries to make Mr.. Nut
ter out as false. He says MIR. Mu tor
said that he voted for Joseph Gille ,pis
in SO, which is untrue. Mr.. Mu ter
said he had &c move in '86. but did not
say one word about voting in that year.
So, Mr.. G., you had better read sg ain
Mr.. Mutter tells straight, honest tale
about the incident, and we bslIeve e, sry
word he says, for we have the testi-
mony of others, that are just as goo / as
Mr.. Stuart, that they too had to move
away from Stuart's land because fhey
voted their sentiments.
Respectfully,
G. G. HARRIS.
