Elitor News: The p-trty who signs himself "Taxpayer," Wabash, Neb., has seen fit to reply to my article in your paper of last week in answer to his. He eays I am a republican ward heeler and cannot do anything else but defend re publican practices. I did not know I was defending republican practices when I spoke a word in justice to Judge Kamsey. i oeiievo a person writing for a newspaper should not get personal unless ne can prove all his statements. As "Taxpayer" has seen lit to slur me about my taxes and my business, I will just tell a few things that may interest him. Now, "Taxpayer" does not reside at Wa baeh no closer than Weepiug Water, and 1 doubt if he ever puid a dollar taxes in his life, and if he will look at the records he will find I paid at one time $200 in taxes. He says I am a re publican ward heeler. Now, Mr. Edi tor, which is worse to be what ho claims I am or bo what he is? When ho was selected chairman of tho re form forces' con volition, auii while the convention was taking a recess to wait for tbo Otoe county delegation, ho got so JruiiK ho couid not act. No, Mr. Elitor, I presided as chairman of a re publiean county convention ami my friends wore not called on to apologize for mo getting drunk, and dm not have to get some one eUo to till my place. He ways tho present judge has to look to republicans for his defense. That is not true, but I will not keep ntill when I see "Taxpayer serving as a cat's paw for a Plattr-moiith lawyer to lur our pre-ent iudiro. Such demo crats ana populists as jcort,ro Towle Ed Dorr. Jim Clark, William Burk, John Newman, Louis Pollz, in fact the whole reform forces out here, con demn the attacks made by "Taxpayer" on our judge. Why docj he not publish them ;n this county? Why go to Saunders county , to get his articles printer. unless it is becauso they are too dirty for reputable papers to print. lie says for mo to bunt my hole, got a govern ment luense and pay my taxes. Yes, Mr. Editor, I pay my taxes, I had a government license and sold refresh ments, an.d "Taxpayer" has stood up to my bar many a lime and bathed himself in my refreshment", as he sees lit to call it, and if he would call around and pay the bilanco he owes I would appreciate it. The editor of the Saunders county paper claims to be a populist, but a-re-publican could not say meaner things about populi-ts than he says about Governor Poynter and the state rlsh commir-sion. In fact it is hard for him to find a pop or a democrat pure enough for him to support. Henry Horn pel arid J. P. Rouse are the only ones pure enough to get his hearty support, and they can tell how much it cost them. I never had a friend go ray security and then left him to pay the note of $l,0t0. It is true he has the pop instincts of repudiation. Now. in conclusion, I want to refer again to that B. & M. tax case. When Mrs. S I). visitor today. Mrs. II, N. Dovev Omaha today. M. E.

If the decision was wrong, why didn't these people take the case to the supreme court? The railroad company got out an injunc tion to keep tho city and county from collectine taxes on property in Platts mouth which it claimed was on the right of way. Judge Chapm:m avoided tho responsibility of deciding the case after he had tried it and turned it over to Judge Ramsey for a decision, and it seems tnat the ouicers representing the taxpayers of the county were so well satisfied with the judge's decis ion that they did not appeal it.
