Tillamook, Or., April 26tli, 1893.
To the Editor of the H eadlight :
Some time ago, a communication
dated Tillamook, and signed “X” ap
peared in tlie Oregonian, and was
generally understood as being directed
at myself, although it had no foundation
in fact, and was as faise and malicious ns
it was cowardly and uncalled for. In
justice to some who have been wrong
fully accused of participating in the
pxp iration of that letter, I feel bound
to say that upon investigation I have
seemed evidence showing the letter was
written by one man and sent to the
Oregonian by another; that neither ol
these men are connected with the R -
publican patty; that the letter did not
originate in “politics,” but in petty,
personal spite.
Yours truly,
B. L. Eddy.
