I shall aay nothing harsh in re ply thereto.

Since then, no act of ]J“ P 1 ^ w,th - a P? roV!l i tile editors, hut, on the contrary, every suggestion of mine—whether It be for the beet Interest of the State or not—has been fought and sneered at. The result has been that great Injury hc.a been done to the State by the newspapers, the people Inside of the State kwrwlng that the newspapers were publish ing what was untrue and that they were unfrir, have been made strong •r for me During this campaign I have been most maliciously lied on.
