Aftei leading Ihc fetid effusion which

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. I am ignorant or a knave.

MAI.ADMINISTKATION.
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. "
