COMNUNICATIO

Editor of The Seward Gateway:
 "In a recent issue of The Gateway theere appeared an article in which it it is made to appear that the writer hereof indorsed the candidacy of cer- tain Republican aspirants, namely, Geo. W. Albrecht, James Wickersham, w. D. Chase and J. B. Gottstein, to the respective offices in said article stat ed. Now let me say that I have no doubt that the Gentlemen named above are worthy of the indorsement of the remnant of the Republican party, or at least of such faith that Burns, and his forces, may be able to save against another election day, but before the undersigned can, could or would, indorse the candidacy of said above named. gentlemen, or either of them, to the respective of fees sought, it will be necessary for them to awake from their Rip Van Wrinkle siesta, change their political affiliations and otherwise get right
 Sincerely yours, Jas. s. Truitt
