Reply to Mr. Gore.
Editor Union Times: I noticed
an article in The Times published
on the Gth of the present month
(OccuPer) oy one ot your correspondents
(Thos. II. Gore). lie says
-while he was in the Santuc portion
of our coun^, a good citizen of that
section gave him rather a bad report
of his neighbor, charging him for
feeding a horse on a Sabbath day.
He has reference to Mr. S. J. Davis,
of Santpc, as being the person vrho
got feed of me fv r his tired horse. I
remember a gentleman by the name
of Davis traveling through this sec
tjon, I thipk it was on Tuesday, am
pertain it was not on a Sabbath day,
as he says, who called at my house
to know if I could let him have some
feed for his horse. I told him I could.
The Santuc gentleman, Mr. Davis,
put his horae in the stall and I got the
feed out of my barn. I did not have
to puty the f?dder through the crack
pf a Jtouse w here the door was locked.
The gentleman said he had a lurch
fqr himself in his saddlebags. Af a
hiij lunoh lie
came into my front porch.
Then as is usual with men wc hat
some convtrsation. I do not renu-ui
her all that we talked about,
t >ok Mr. Davis to he a gentleman
I know nothing to the contrary.
From what Mr. Gore says in hi
jottings, we must have been talk in
about trusts and combines, as he eaj
I was condemning them.
Now, Mr. Editor, 1 always vri
condemn trusts and combines, e
pecinlljr when they are organized
almost crush the life out of tho po
laboring men, women and chihliv
'111on Mr. Gore says I am holding
the little which 1 have got in i
grasp with such tenacity that t
word charity is as sounding brass
a tinkling symbol. I am trulv gl
* . i i ?iw.1,1 fll ti,;. ilf
ttliiC 1 Ulii uuic i?/ uwiM .... ...
that I ha*e by my own labor hones
accumulated, and I hope tout
person in this community thinks tl
I obtained it otherwise.
>1 r. Gore quoting the words 4,rna
inhumanity to man makes countl
millions mourn." I cannot see si
inhumanity in feeding a truve
horse for the mere pittance thai
received.
Mr. Editer, it is truo that
Goro did not directly personate
in the article that you published,
I have written statements hy
neighbors that he told them I
the person he had reference to.
I don't know why he was asha
to say in his article who he
reference to being a hog or reguh
in my opinion our community n
more hogs with a regulator.

I was reared in this township, 1

for myself, except tUa^-t^rtrrn
that Mr. Gote-fcr-ttrfting after ?mI
he certainly mu*t bo doing it wi;hout
the hope of fee or reward as he
has never sent in a single bill foi
