My attention having been called to an article in tho Long Creek Fu gle of tho Kith, headed "Misappre hension," owing to the idiotical tone of the article and the source it was supped to have como from, I would not have taken any notice of it had not tho writer tried to insinuate that 1 bad at nunc time in the past been willing to join a mob known us tho himbling Act ( ranks. 1 ho looney ' accuses me of working for demo ' emtio candidates at the ixills last June. I may have been guilty of exercising my inilcondoueo in sup jHirting nunc democrat candidates who were known to be more compe tent and honest than the republi cans uprising them, but I claim to have more self resect than to oiler my services to the enabling act cranks. The thing says that "of course Cunnington would not stoop to misrepresent his side ofthe ease. I will snv in reply to the sneaking curs, if tliey think that I made any misrepresentations to get signers to tho remonstrance, give the names of the parties that tho misrepresenta tions were made to and show up the facts in tho cage if you have got them. I do not ask any mercy at your bunds. I am not ashamed of, anything I have done in connection i with the remonstrance. As to the impiiry why 1 made allidavit that thirty men statetl to mo that they signed the petition under mihnpprc hciisiou I will ask tho idiot if it thinks we were getting signers to the remonstrance to keep here to i look all If you tlid I advise yon to come up to Canyon City and try and inform yourself a little befoie again exhibiting your mental defi ciencies. You acknowledge that Mr. P. Thomas is an honest gran ger. I presume by the drift of your lingo that vou had not thought that Mr. 'I human made allidavit that it might have more weight with the legislators and senate than a statement would without the affi davit. How about your man rep resenting to (ieorge Ireinonger of Waterman Hat that the county seat bad to be moved to John Day if thu enabling act was not passed! Dow about him representing to George Chapman, Isaac Chapman, James Hlevens and a great many others that nearly every voter in the coun ty but a few living close to Canyon City had signed tho etitionl Think of the gull of your man who went to Hear valley and told voters that the remonstrance that they had previ ously signed was intended to locate the county seat at Long Creek and that thu petition which lie circulat ed was tu locate it at John Day. In conclusion I will say that ou aro a sneaking ennteiiiptible liar if you say that I asked any delegate at the republican convention last April to place me in nomination for any ollice, anil say to you that I am not ashamed to own up to having supported any democratic candidate which received my support at the last June election, and I further say that if you make a reply to this without signing your trim name you may consider yourself beneath further notice.
