To-day notwithstanding D. K. Thompson was defeated in his aspiration by the foroo of public opinion , he had his plans so well laid that while ho does not occupy a soul in the United Stated Senate , ho is uontroling the federal appoint ments through tboso whoso election ho secured. Wo maintain i that all appointments should bo made on the will of the people and that they should bo removed as far aa possible from the control of cliques and rings and that all ap pointees whether fedora' ' , state or county should only bu medu through the endorsements of the county or atato central committees , who can bo hold directly re sponsible for their acts.

Aftei leading Ihc fetid effusion which ppcaicil over HheiilT Armstrong's sij-na- ire in last week's papers , I sat down to nsvver Ivli's mephitic friend. After ritiny ; about a half column , I reviewed and decided that il was almost as mean s "AunstioiiK's teply to Di. Hakes.

In the so-called reply , Kli and his "hydrocephelie ft lend" brinjj several chaises against me to wit : 1. I have written slush. 2. I have lied. 3. I have graduated in Latin. I.

Now , Mr. IMitor , I crave your iudul - nce and ask pardon from the public for irielly reviewing the.se grave charges. I'he first and second , as I have already aid , I am willing to leave with the peo- ) le of Ouster county. They shall decide who has wiitten " .slush" and also \\lio is the MAIL To the third charge I plead guilty but I wish to inform the heavenly twins who wrote and signed the icply , that I was never graduated from a school that taught slang and billingsgate and so much of their cffott was lost so far as I am concerned. The foutth ami fifth charges I pass by \\ith much the feeling thai I culeilain for their authoih. Concerning the sixlh charge I \\ill simply suggest that they miuht have ad ded the office of Allot uey to their list for 1 do not diaw laigely on my egotism when 1 say that 1 feel full } competent to give as good legal advice as Kli's friend has evidently given him concerning his annual repott. There remains one mote charge , the seventh "I am a homceopath. " This is awful , and when placed along side the chaige which I bring against the sheriff almost makes me despair of salva tion , but 1 can only plTer this condoling assurance. In dealing with the sherilf's office 1 have decided to tutu heretic and shall administer NO HOMOEOPATHIC misits. In icgard to the "fair offer" which they make , Kli tells us thai he has joe on deposit and proposes that I de posit a like sum ; you all remember his proposition. Will some one please tell why I should he asked to "put up" a forfeit ? Kli is the man who is charged with maladminislration , not Makes , and belli he and his "valuable assistant" know that I do not possess one-tenth of the sum named. Now , Mr. Sheriff , if you are honest in this mailer make your offer to forfeit the money without requiring impossibilities , and if I do not succeed in getting thai fioo back into the "General I'und" where I believe it properly belongs' , if you have taken it from the sum paid to you by county warrants , the county hoard may assign muwork and 1 will donate my services to Custcr count } foi the rest of the year. This "fair offer" looks very much like n "bluff , " il I am allowed to use a word from the vocabulary of your "fiieiid.
