criticism passed upon him from tho bench
Inst Monday:
OMAHA, Dec. C Hon. Jacob Fawcett,
Judge: Dear Sir On last Monday you took
occasion to criticise mo In connection with

It was prepared and tiled. 1 havo slnco
Investigated It, nnd I now present you the
most positive, and conclusive proof that the
statements you mado were unwnrrantou
and evidently mado upon misinformation
You said that Mr. Wright, the fllo clerk
In tho district "clerk's offlco, had told you
that when I took tho petition out of tho
ofllco It lioro the date of July 6 and that
when I returned It to him this dato had
been changed to tho 9th. Mr. Wright
swears that he never mado any such state
