Some chap calling himself "Old Set
tler," has a letter in the Watchman of
the 12th, in which he says the Herald
calls the citizens of the county "slang
names" and applied "epithets" to them.
'Old Settler" simply lies, and if he
should sign himself "old fool" hereafter,
ho would come nearer the truth. "We
called no citizen slang names, we defy
him to find them in the article.
Wc applied no "epithets," and also de
fy the proof of that by any one that
can read English.
Wo should not answer this chronic
old growler at all, as the IIf.rald cares
very little for his opinions of matters
and we opine that the people (the real
people of the county) care less, only
when a fellow gets up and tells the
Herald that he has been called epi
thets and all that bosh, and works him
self up, real mad, we like to call him
something worth getting mad at. We
hate to see him waste his rage, there
fore we suggest the change in his nom
de plume hereafter.
Lastly, Old Settler falls into the same
ditch with Todd and Kirkpatrick, in
calling 20 or 30 people, the citizens of
Cass county, and imagining that all the
people feel themselves insulted be
cause those few have put their foot in
it. AH- the rest of "Old Settler's letter,
as far as regards the Herald, is an
swered elsewhere, and he confounds
himself in charging what the Herald
says, and afterward acknowledging
that Mr. White said it and not the
Herald at all, as he proves by the
county Attorney. Now you may light
the taxes and the expenses all you
;Mease, Mr. Old Settler, but if you make
any more charges about this pa
per, you may get your fingers bunted.
COUNTY FAIR.
We desire to call the attention of the
public again to the Cass County Fair,
to be held on the 14, 13, 16, and 17th
days of September next. This fair is
destined we think, without a tfobt, to
be the most interesting one ever held
in this county ; we are giving the peo
ple fair notice and a favorable oppor
tunity to exhibit the products of their
own industry; we earnestly ask and in
sist that our citizens make an effort in
this matter if you value your person
al and public interests, and let us see
what we arc capable of doing in times
considered very depressing. We have
offered premiums that are great induce
ments to exhibitors, in many instances
as large :is those offered by the State
Fair, and larger than is offered by any
other County Fair in the State. We
mention a few of the most important
premiums:
Houses Thoroughbreds; best Stal
lion 820; 2nd best S10; best mare 820;
2nd best 810; and Sweepstakes 815.
Cattle Short Horn and Devons;

Aug. 10th; 1273. C
Mr. EdiIoU: Iitf your account of
the people's nieeting; held ill the Court
House on the fith 6f July, and which
you characterize In naming head lines,
as "The great CassCu; Uorianza; Grand
rally of the indignant; Talk of tar
and feathers, ropes and bludgeons" and
many other facetious epithets; you
proceed to say: "Bight after dinner the
horny handed and hard fisted, assem
bled in the Court House, Bro. Todd
proceeded to dilate."
After your account of Mr. Todd's
speech, and his motion to appoint a
committee &c, you proceed to say:
"Before the committee was appointed
however, Mr. Kirkpatrick sjeeched a
little, lie hit Todd a square slap in
the mouth, (metaphorically) and wink
ed at the Herald (that wink must
have been metaphorical also), then he
offered some resolutions which will be
published in next week's Herald in
full. Short hand they called for the
vacation of M. Jj. White's oflice, and
the burning of all the 11. It. Bonds, and
all other indebtedness of the county."
We have been waiting a whole
mouth, for the fulfillment of the prom
ise made in the foregoing quotations,
but not one word has appeared in your
paper on the subject. Now Mr. Editor
we care nothing for your darning head
lines, and your talk of "tar and feath
ers, ropes and bludgeons;" if you can
afford to characterize a jeaceable meet
ing of the people as the "great Cxss Co.
Bonanza," and call it "this row," and
to apply the epithets, "horny handed,
hard listed indignantes," to the people
coniiRjsing it, we can stand it. It is a
matter of editorial taste between your
self and the people. But when you at
tempt to reiort the acts of a public
meeting, vou ought to report correct
ly in your report you proceed to say,
"then Todd and he sparred a little, and
the "meet in" accepted "Kirk's" adden
da and appointed the committee,,' thus
asserting that Mr. Kirkpatrick intro
duced a resolution calling for the burn
ing of all It. It. Bonds, and all other in
debtedness of the county, and the meet
ing adopt the same. Now Mr. Editor,
Mr. Kirkpatrick as well sis the citizens
composing the meeting, have a right
to demand that you correct your report.
Mr. Kirkpatrick did not offer any
resolutions to the meeting, but did lay
before the meeting a petition to the
board of County Commissioners, ask
ing the vacation of M. U. White's seat
as a member of the board, and also an
other petition, or memorial, to the
board, couched in respectful language,
on the subject of the Trunk K. It.
Bonds; but containg no allusion to any
other 11. It. Bonds, nor to any indebt
edness of the county, which petitions
were adopted by the meeting and laid
before the commissioners by the com
mittee. Further on in your report, in speak
ing of the committe and the commis
sioners, you represent the contest as
between science and brute force, and
say that "science won this time." That
is certainly complimentary to some
body. You say "finally they (the com
mittee) slobbered the whole tiling over
and concluded there had been some
mistake." And then you say, "The
Herald must say it (meaning the edi
tor) has seldom seen so great a col
lapse." Now, we have to say that we have
full confidence in the honesty of the
committee, and in their ability to in
telligibly examine the county books,
and to report to the people the infor
mation sought for.
We will also say, that through a re
port of the committe already publish
ed, and reports elicited from the Board
of Comr's., and from M. L.. White, we
have derived more information con
cerning county finances and the dis
bursements of county funds than would
have come to us in a long while, with
out the appointment of the committee.
We have found out that extra attorney
fees amounting to $S,'300.00 have been
paid by the county in the last year:
and that 83,000.00 extraordinary and
extra fees, have been paid to one coun
ty officer, and 8742.00 to another coun
ty officer. The committee will go on
at their convenience, and make furth
er investigation and report for the in
formation of the people, until we find
out all we need to know in order to
award praise or blame where it justly
belongs.
Finall', we intend to hold public
meetings and pass resolutions, and ap
point committees, until we ferret out
all unlawful and dishonest appropria
tions of the public moneys, if any such
have leen nttule, and prevent any such
from being made hereafter, and compel
the strictest economy, and fullest ac
countability in the management of our
county finances. Truly Yours,
REMARKS BY THE EDITOR OF
THE- HERALD.
As we have seen a good many of the
citizens of Liberty and A-voca, person
ally, (more than attended the m-eeting
and talked with them .and focwxJr out
just how much they were insulted, aaid
all about it, we had not proposed to
say anything more about the "big bo
nanza," &c.
Out of respect to Mr. Kirkpatrick
himself, and to members of his family,
we would rather not have printed his
letter at all, and would like still better,
as far as our mere wish goes, if we
could avoid answering it, and exposing
its weakness, but we are editing a pa
per here, our family is to be taken care
of, and other business interests and du
ties surround us, as they do every man
and will not allow ns tamely to sit
still and le unjustly assailed or accus
ed, wherein our reputation may be in
jured, and the supposition go abroad
that we were not able to answer Mr.
Kirkpatrick's talk.
We shall therefore reply to the letter
in detail.
FIRST,
It is a matter of very grave doubt how
far the people of any one precinct, even
if they were unanimous, could arro
gate to themselves the right to repre
sent the whole people of this county,
so that if we had even ' characterized"
the citizens there, no charge of charac
terizing (whatever that may be) the
people of this County could be made.
We deny then that it was a people.?'
meeting at all, or that it was a meet
ing of the people of Avoca and Liberty
prerincts. There were not to exceed
15 persons there from Liberty, and not
over 3 from Avoca, and some of them
dropped in froii? curiosity, and not be
cause they approved of the aims and
objects of that meeting.
There were none from the west, and
considerably more than half of tlroee
present were droppers in from Platts
mouth and vicinity, who merely came
in to see what was up, just as the edit
or of the Herald did.
todd's meeting.
It was universally called "Todd's
Meeting" up here, and we had no rea
son to suppose that any great number
of people were concerned in it at all.
There had been no excitement then
about here on those matters, and
almost every man that came down the
stairs, treated it as a huge joke, or dis
approved of the tenor of his remarks.
The editor of the Watchman, (their pet
paier) got up and contradicted Mr.
Todd right there.
Todd did most of the talking, as he
generally does. Now we have a very
limited acquaintance with Mr. Todd,
but had always understood him to be
a wild chimerical impracticable man.
If we do him an injustice he must not
blame us, for we are only quoting his
own neighbors on him. We repeat
that it was called Todd's meeting, we
wrote it up from that stand point, and
as one man even went so far as to aver
that Todd was part crazy, anil the rest
d d foot, the Herald had no idea
that he was representing Mr. Kirkpat
rick or even any of the people down
there. If Todd i$ the people of Cass
County, and Mr. K. is Todd's second,
we said some mean things of them,
we acknowledge the corn.
BIG BONANZA.
It might do for "Old Settler," and
such men as Todd, and Davis, and Lin
ville, who boast that they do not take,
and do not re;id the papers, to take of
fense at this word, but a gentleman of
Mr. K.'s reading and information,
should never have done it, for he must
know that the word is a very common
newspaper word, has been applied to
everything this summer from a pigeon
shoot to a shipwreck. It simply means
"a big thing," and cannot be construed
into a term of reproach, an epithet, or
anything else obnoxious.
INDIGNANTES.
The gentlemen were either indig
nant, or they were not. If not indig
nant, their meeting was a farce, and if
they were then were they "indignantes,"
which is simply anglicized Latin for
Indignants. Nothing opprobrious
there.
TAR, ROPES, &.C.
We are prepared to prove that there
were rumors of tar and feathers, and
ropes, and hanging, just as we stated.
Not as the Herald said, but as the
Herald said the people said, and they
did say so, our report is correct.
L. G. Todd said in the School House,
at Liberty and elsewhere, that the
commissioners ought to be hung. Here
are his very words on one occasion,
when talking of coming up here to this
very meeting:
todd's words.
"We are in favor also, if Mr. M. L.
White is there, to put a rope around
his neck and trot him up and down."
We have Capt. Haygood's word for
these words, a citizen of Liberty, a
good man and a truthful one. and he
says he can bring a number of men
who heard the same.
Now just think for a moment, how
such language can grow and be added
to, and enlarged, in traveling 15 miles,
with several day's time, and we think
ever" one will bear us out in our mod
est report. that there was talk of tar
and feathers, ropes, &c,
THE HORNY HANDED, & HARD FISTED.
One can hardly go out into the coun
try and listen to a Grange speech, nor
a farmer's speech, scarcely, wherein
they do not so designate themselves,
and seem to take pride in it.. We sup
posed it was a mark of honor and not
of reproach, in fact we have felt rather
foolish when they looked at our little
soft hands on several occasions. If
farmers are ashamed of their own voca
tion and its consequent results to the
bone and muscles of their hands, it is
news to us. We are not ashamed of
our work, nor our looks, and no honest
farmer should be, or is, of his. Noth
ing derogatory was intended then, but
nit her praise, for we might add that
we have seen our own hands as hard,
as horny, and as scarred, with hard
work, as any farmer's there, and we
felt much better in many ways than
we do now.
THAT SLAP.
Mr. Kirkpatrick did contradict Mr.
Todd, and did metaphorically slap him,
&c and it can be proved by a large
majority of those present,including men
of both parties those who were in
unison with the meeting, and those
not.
THE WINK.
We acknowledge it was metaphori
cal an optical illusion owing to the
sun in the west window we take it
all back he didn't wink he can't
wink.
THE RESOLUTIONS
are on file in the Clerk's offiee, and any
man can lead them. We venture that
nine men out of ten will swear that we
summed up their import very nearly
correct. The reason why we did not
publish them that week, was because
acting Clerk Wells, told us they would
be incorporated in the "proceedings."
When they were given me and I asked
where "Kirk's letter &e," were, Clerk
Moore said they were too lengthy to
publish at the county's cost, and were
not a part of the Co. Commissioner's pro
ceedings. It was too late to copy them
that week, and the next Mr. Wells had
gone away, and the papers had been
misplaced; by the third week they
were too old for a live newspaper. Mr.
Kirkpatrick's best way would have
been to have sent his Mss. to the Her
ald, himself.
RESOLUTIONS OR PETITIONS.
For the life of us we cannot see
what difference it makes whether you
call them resolutions or petitions. Mr.
Kirkpatrick offered some papers, and
they were adopted by the meeting, you
may call them what you like. It is loo
simple to quarrel over, but since the
matter has come up we have asked
three different men who were there
and they say that Mr. Kirkpttrick's
papers were offered as resolutions and
so adoptinl by the meeting, and they
are tonlay endorsed on the back,
"adopted by the meeting, July Cth.
173." Now if an unofficial meeting
of that kind "adopts" a petition, it is
news to us. We understood the "peti
tion" of Mr. Kirkpatrick to call for the
burning of all bonds, now in the hands
of trustees ct commissioners, and so
did all we ha, e talked with. In" the
confusion of two or three jrpc.aking
at once (and there were several motions
before the house at the same time) we
may have been mistaken on that; we
find we are on reading Mr. Kirkpat
ricks Mss.. but that was the general im
pression given to most people, and you
should have your meetings conducted
more systematically hereafter, then
such mistakes would not occur.
In regard to the expression" other in
debtedness," we plead guilty that was
an interpolation of our's which slipped
in by writing a report of the meeting
in haste that evening, in order to have
it re;idy for the printers in the morn
ing. We correct that, and beg pardon.
THE collapse.
It was a collapse; you promised us a
mass meeting you told us you were
going to take strong measures, &c. ; you
did' iTot, It was-not a mass meeting.
You presented your ease to the Com
missioners weakly and shamefacedly,
and you yourself never appeared at all
in the Commissioners court, but left
Todd, whom we resp'jtft't for his cour
age, to fight it out alolle.
SCIENCE PS. BRUTK STRENGTH.
Mr. Todd and his adherents had
threatened brute force They had talk
ed of tarring and hanging. You can
not deny it nor disprove it. The Com
missioners did take it coolly. Old
man White did calmly and dispas
sionately argue his case and you, or
your committee, did back down, to a
great extent. Now it is not necessary
in order to settle this between you and
the Heral-d that we express our opin
ion of the justness of M. L. White's
plea, nor to say whether the Commis
sioners were justified in their acts,
that is where you and your gentlemen
make a great mistake in confounding
what you suppose are the Herald's
opinion on the merits of the case with
what the Herald states as the facts
in the Commissioners' office. We sim
ply give the facts. You threatened
force. White opposed, chin music
White won. Science won "this time"
we did not say it would always, we
did not say the Commissioners were
right, we said science won. The brute
strength argument was dropped then
and forever; in short, you want to de
ny it now, which shows we told the
truth.
NOW THIS WHOLE THING
turns on this, did the Herald report
the meeting in fair terras just as it
took place, within the limits that we
could spare (about a column)? We
venture to say that a majority vote of
those present, taken to-day, will be in
our favor. Both you and the people at
Fohlen's school house confound what
you t!i ink or hope the Herald be
lieves as to the merits of this case,
with the facts as described, and then
educe conclusions that no unbiassed
mind could draw. When you come to
set your opinion of words against the
facts of a man who has been all his
life collecting news and reporting it,
you need to have very sure ground
under your feet or the general public
will decide against you as they will
do here.
the truth is,
that article was written purely from a
reporters view, purely as an item of
news, no bias was intended to be given
to the report, no opinion of the just
ness of the commissioner's views nor
of the necessity of the meeting. No
fair mind can construe it any other
way.
The fact is, Mr. Kirkpatrick, you
really found yourself in company you
are not accustomed to, and a "little
short," and you are now about half
ashamed of it, .and want to find the
lest way to get out of it. All
right, we shan't stand in your way.
The last part of Mr. Kirkpatrick's
letter needs no answer. No one stands
in the way of the freeest and fullest
investigation of county affairs by any
one or any numbur of people. If fraud
is discovered let it be properly punish
ed. Hold all the meetings you want
to, show up the dishonest or incompe
tent ones, neither the Herald, nor
the Republican party, nor yet the cit
izens of Plattsmoutii, will throw a
straw in your way, but the rather aid
you to all good ami noble works. Be
honest yourselves, make correct and
honest reports. That is all we ask,
and it is only what the Herald has
ursred for years, that the people
should manage their own business,
look after their own business .and elect
and keep only honest men in office.
There was a State Convention held
at Omaha yesterday to take steps to

A. L. Sprague and J no. A. MacMurphy

GREAT Ii. & M. R. It. EXCURSION.
Otct 1,000 Tcople Pass Through Piatt
mouth ! !
Mr. Handle Sees 'em Through.
A very large excursion from Illinois
passed west yesterday from here.
There were 9C0 adults, babies and chil
dren not counted. Mr. Holdrege and
the R. R. men had their hands full to
provide coaches for all this crowd, it
took a round dozen to do it. They
were a fine looking set of people and
have come at a very opportune time to
see our country.
Mr. Perry Walker sees fit to stop his
paper because he does not like some
things we do and say; that is all right,
if Mr. AValker can afford to advertise
himself as the man who stops his paper
when he gets mad, we can stand it if
he can, (to quote Mr. Kirkpatrick,)
Mr. Walker might have reflected a mo
ment and thought of the many good
and kind words the Herald has said
for him and his in years gone hy and
they would amount to thousands. He
might have looked at himself a mo
ment in the light of a great moral re
former, and ascertained how much real
honesty and reform there is in taking
a paper just as longas the editor thinks
just as you do and writes just as you
want him to, but stopping it whenev
er he sees fit honestly to differ with
you. He might have still further
redacted that "stop my paper" doesn't
really spite the editor or writer, but if
carried out to sufficient extent, would
simply injure his innocent family or
his poor workman. But it is not for
these reasons that we have mentioned
Mr. Walker, other men have "stopped
the paper" and we have lived through
it and we presume we shall survive
this blow. Mr. Walker told our young
man that the rason he stopped it was
because we wo lid not publish the re
port of the investigating committee
without pay, while the Watchman did,
and we want to find out where the lie
is. Mr. McDonagh told us he would
not publish it without pay, and after
we had both published a portion (by
agreement) without pay, and he had
published still another section, he told
us lie was getting pay for it. Now Mr.
Walker you're a reformer, if they told
you that we would not publish without
pay and that the Watchman did, either
thy or Mr. McDonagh lie, and if you
made it up out of your own head," as
the boys say, you are greatly mistaken.
Moreover the Herald did not re
fuse to publish a condensed, concise re
port free, but did refuse to publish 5
or 6 columns for nothing, and as most
of that committee are worth dollars to
the Herald's cents, we can conceive
of no justice or honesty which would
require us to publish it free. We try
to m?.ke a living out of our newspaper,
as you do from 3-our apples or Mr. Shel
don from his farm. You don't raise
grain for fun, we don't ron a newspa
per for fun either
