CARTER HITS LOGAN.

tools of the bosses in congress
and they realize the need of hi
vote in their fight with the insur
gents, there would be little doub'
of his failure to retain B. J.
Luther in the post Office at Bit,
more, or to land his man Friday.
W. e. Logan, in the Office Of
United States Marshal for the
western district. Pretty nearly
every day brings forth new evi-
dence which sustains the conclu-
sion that the entire bunch should
be squelched instanter. Realiz-
ing the danger of losing out with
the fimzy evidence at hand, Mr..
Grant brings his campaign mana
ger and favorite candidate for
United States Marshal into the
case, and Logan comes across
with an affidavit of some sort in
which he endeavors to bolster up
the congressman's contentious.
And after months of silence and
following a statement last fall
that he had not considered Mrs.
Reeds conduct during the cam
paign in the nature of a bride;
that she had simply contributed
her money to the wrong crowd.
On his return from Washing
ton recently Logan gave an in
terview to the press in defense
of Grant and rejecting upon the
supporters of Mrs. Reed. He
characterized the investigation
as a Efarce and minated that
Mrs. Reeds counsel was being
paid by designing politicians. 1t
was then and there he invited
trouble and got it in abundance.
Frank Carter went after him
and, in street parlance, fixed
his clock" The attempt at reply
did not reply at all, but contained
an intimation that Mrs. Reed is
worth considerable money and
does not need the Office. In his
rejoinder, to which Logan made
no reply, Mr.. Carter concludes:
"You cunningly attempted to
ALLEVIATE sympathy from Mrs.
Reed by the irrelevant statement
that she has property to the value
of 81, 500. have no knowledge
as to whether this statement is
true or false, but If true, it seems
to me to furnish very slight
ground for unfavorable action
upon the application for re-
appointment as postmaster at
Biltmore, and none whatever for
the secret warfare that has been
Waged against her, without
mercy and without scruple. The
fact that you are a man of
wealth should not initiate
against your candidacy for the
marshalship, unless that wealth
was, in whole or in part, improp-
erly acquired-unless, for in
stance, you became possessed of
the substance of a near relative
to the amount of several thousand
dollars, and when his widow
called you in court for an account
you sought to protect your
self against such accounting by
the statute of limita-
tons. This allusion is to the ac-
ton of Ella r. Beaver, admins
tratrix of your deceased uncle,
A. Beaver, against w. E. Lo-
gan, now for several years pend
ing in the Superior Court of Bun
connie county
ST know and charge nothing
as to the merits Of the contro-
versy between you and the
widow administrative of your de-
ceased uncle, but the pleadings
speak for themselves. If were
as ready to harm you by the
publication Of my information
against you as you are to harm a
widow by the publication OF your
