San Francisco, Jan. 22, 1899. Eprror Transcripr:—Well, well; has it come to this, that “2 Democrats”— great, big, stalwart fellows they must be—have expended their united energies upon poor little me? I feel as though the weight of a mountain had fallen upon me, and how to extricate myself is engrossing all my _ thoughts. Bah! crawling insects, may for a minute or two annoy us, but we eventually brash them off as we would the dust that soils our clothing. In the Grass Valley Union of the 15th instant appears what purports to be: the joint production of “2” Democratic brains, in which my letter to you of the 10th of the same month is feebly-oh, 80 very feebly!—criticised, There are so many falsifications contained in such a small space that I find myself compelled to take them up seriatim. Before doing so, however, I would like to inform the or these embryo journalists—for he or they are but: yet in the womb—that they or he are wasting any little talent they or he may possess for lying and misquoting. Why not seek a larger field? There are but few papers here that want the truth told, if it conflicts with the personal ideas, or interests, or revengeful thoughts of their owners. The Bulletin is an exception thus far. What a field opens up to these “2” liars, with a: little more experience! To begin: I pass the opening sentence where I am called-“gentleman and scholar,” for the context of the communication proves that it is an insincere expres./sion and was only written to deceive the readers of the Union in what was tofollow. In the second sentence these. “2” collaborators say: “Like all people who advocate the election of dishonorable people to office he resorts to abuse and calling names in their deI want it distinctly understood that this is opied verbatim. These “2” Democrats continue: “He says ‘I’ am a liar,” etc. “and that ‘P write bad English.”’ Is it not true? And then he, or’ they, or both, say, (really, from the construction of this sentence it is an enigma -to me who does say it— whether No.1 or No. 2.) “Whew! How angry the old gentleman is!” Well, we laughed at that, my wife and self. When he or they, these Siamese twins, say that I support Boss Burns, “embezzler,” they lie from their very throats, or from his throat, as the case may be. It is a fact that I don’t know whether there are one or two liars that I have to deal with. I do favor Mr. Burns, but be is not. an embezzier. That charge is old straw that is being threshed over, and all the grain has been taken from it long ago. There remains but dust—simple dust—which the disgruntled proprietors of the Call and Chronicle are trying to throw into the eyes of the Legislators and the people. . If these “2” Dromios—these “whatis-it,” or “what-are-they”’—would only come to an open and square controversy with meI might say something that would be pleasing or otherwise to them. And again, these, or they, or him, or the combined efforts, or a single effort,.or a double-action effort, of a single or a double brain, say that I said that Mr. Curry “(mis) managed” his office of County Clerk in this city. It is a lie pure and simple! Now, here comes the thing that I don’t understand. It is the mixing up of the personal pronoun singular with the impersonal pronoun plural. He, or they, or both,say: “These are facts, not lies, Mr. Mead. That is in the charge we made against you, and you. admit it. Iam glad to make your acquaintance, plain Walter Mead,” ete. {t appears to me that this ignorant fellow is trying to gain a prominence in your county by continuing this controversy with me. I suppose if he thought I would notice him again that he would sign his next communication (for I am convinced that he is the “Original Jacobs,” without a partner) “1,000 Democrats” and so overwhelm me with¢he magnitude of numbers. There are So many petty, puerile and Q These fleas, these creeping, . garments of Governors and other dignities.” Heise liar, I never-was in Alaska in all my life. ; . Again does this Munchausen say: “It means that you are a chronic seeker for place, which accounts for your earnest desire to place D. M. Burns in the Senatorial chair, hoping he might give you a job.” I would like to know where the monumental liar got his information from that I was.a “chronic seeker for place.” I never, in all my life, asked anyone to appoint'me to an office, nor have I asked. any friend to do the same for me. ; These “2” wig-wags or this one wigwag—now, I am lost my _ editorial frierid—the way these fellows or that. fellow mix or mixes up the singular and the plural is something that I really cannot understand. Yes, I have been U. S. Gauger, Superintendent of the Mint warehouse, Deputy Naval Officer, and for three ‘months each, in,1891 and 1892, a field deputy assessor under John D. Siebe. All of. these positions—every one— were given to me without the slighest solicitation on my part or on the part of my friends, se far as I know. I was gauger fora year. For three months I was in the Mint. These positions I lost because I would not let Mr Sargent place himself under obligations to others on my account. There are two men living who know the facts—Geo. K. Fitch and Geo. Oulton. In fact, as far as the Mint matter wae concerned, the Bulletin editorially and through its news columns, fought Gen. La doubts what I say, look at the files of 1892. This anonymous ignoramus—there is . “smothers every letter I (you) write to the-TransenirtT.” In other. words, that I try to conceal from your readers the thought that I am superior to them. Of course, it is another one of the lies of this incorrigible wretch., Your readers know that without fear or favor I have stood up for their interests. If I am egotistical—and I do not believe I am, because many old residents of Nevada county can tell how anxiously I have sought for imformation among them, and how I have read many of my articles to them and have taken their advice as to amending or otherwise—if, Isay,l am egotistical, my friends in Nevada county are to blame. I have had so many bouquets thrown at me that it would take a stronger man than plain Walter Mead to prevent some of tha blossoms and sweet perfume from clinging to his being. So, the scent must permeate my writings, or perhaps the\sting of the bee is felt, as these “2” brainy Democrats—save }the mark—are complimentary enough to call me egotistical. I really feel flattered to know that with all the careful reading he has evidently given my writings, that is the only flaw he can find. You will observe that in the preceding sentence I dropped the dummy. When I am offered the place that Col. Burns (as this descendat of Annanjas says) has in store for me, I will be able-to visit Nevada county; and one of the first visits I make after the TxansorirT office has been hailed, will be upon thé Nevada City editor of the Grass Valley Union; and the “egotistical old man,” the “scholar,” will no doubt find a warm welcome in the holy of holies. In conclusion, I again state that the members of the Legislature will honor themselves far more than they do Col. Barns, by electing him to the Senate :f grows gréater-every year. I do not. present to throw off the yoke. Water Mrap.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA. To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know ‘What Appetite and Good Digestion Mears. MAKE A TEST OF STUART’S DYSPEPSiA TABLETS. No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines. The real seat of the mischief is lost sight of. The stomach is the or, gan to be looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach, weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much asin nearly every organ.

How he found relief is best told in his own words: me say something about indigestion and taking a box from his pocket said, ‘Try Stuart’s Tablets’ Idid, and was promptly cured.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla Their Faith in This Medicine is Grounded on Merit They Know It Absolutely Cures When Other Medicines Fail Hood’s Sarsaparilie is not merely a simple preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock, Stillingia and a little Iodide of Potassium. Besides these excellent alteratives, it also contains those great anti-bilious and liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion. It also contains those great, kidney remedies, Uva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and Pipsissewa. Nor are these all. Other very valuable curative agents are harmoniously combined in Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and it is carefully prepared under the reonal supervision of a regularly educa pharmacist. a Knowing these facts, is the abfding faith the people have in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a matter of surprise? You can-see why Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures, when other medicines totally, absolutely fail. “My little girl was afflicted with eczema and-suffered for'seven years. She was attended by physicians and tried many different kinds of medicine without relief. After taking a few bottles of Hood’s Sarsaparilla she was cured.” Mars. EmMA FRANKLIN, Honeoye, New York.

These “2” Democrats continue: “He says ‘I’ am a liar,” etc. “and that ‘P write bad English.”’ Is it not true? And then he, or’ they, or both, say, (really, from the construction of this sentence it is an enigma -to me who does say it— whether No.1 or No. 2.) “Whew! How angry the old gentleman is!” Well, we laughed at that, my wife and self. When he or they, these Siamese twins, say that I support Boss Burns, “embezzler,” they lie from their very throats, or from his throat, as the case may be. It is a fact that I don’t know whether there are one or two liars that I have to deal with. I do favor Mr. Burns, but be is not. an embezzier. That charge is old straw that is being threshed over, and all the grain has been taken from it long ago. There remains but dust—simple dust—which the disgruntled proprietors of the Call and Chronicle are trying to throw into the eyes of the Legislators and the people. . If these “2” Dromios—these “whatis-it,” or “what-are-they”’—would only come to an open and square controversy with meI might say something that would be pleasing or otherwise to them. And again, these, or they, or him, or the combined efforts, or a single effort,.or a double-action effort, of a single or a double brain, say that I said that Mr. Curry “(mis) managed” his office of County Clerk in this city. It is a lie pure and simple! Now, here comes the thing that I don’t understand. It is the mixing up of the personal pronoun singular with the impersonal pronoun plural. He, or they, or both,say: “These are facts, not lies, Mr. Mead. That is in the charge we made against you, and you. admit it. Iam glad to make your acquaintance, plain Walter Mead,” ete. {t appears to me that this ignorant fellow is trying to gain a prominence in your county by continuing this controversy with me. I suppose if he thought I would notice him again that he would sign his next communication (for I am convinced that he is the “Original Jacobs,” without a partner) “1,000 Democrats” and so overwhelm me with¢he magnitude of numbers. There are So many petty, puerile and Q These fleas, these creeping, . garments of Governors and other dignities.” Heise liar, I never-was in Alaska in all my life. ; . Again does this Munchausen say: “It means that you are a chronic seeker for place, which accounts for your earnest desire to place D. M. Burns in the Senatorial chair, hoping he might give you a job.” I would like to know where the monumental liar got his information from that I was.a “chronic seeker for place.” I never, in all my life, asked anyone to appoint'me to an office, nor have I asked. any friend to do the same for me. ; These “2” wig-wags or this one wigwag—now, I am lost my _ editorial frierid—the way these fellows or that. fellow mix or mixes up the singular and the plural is something that I really cannot understand. Yes, I have been U. S. Gauger, Superintendent of the Mint warehouse, Deputy Naval Officer, and for three ‘months each, in,1891 and 1892, a field deputy assessor under John D. Siebe. All of. these positions—every one— were given to me without the slighest solicitation on my part or on the part of my friends, se far as I know. I was gauger fora year. For three months I was in the Mint. These positions I lost because I would not let Mr Sargent place himself under obligations to others on my account. There are two men living who know the facts—Geo. K. Fitch and Geo. Oulton. In fact, as far as the Mint matter wae concerned, the Bulletin editorially and through its news columns, fought Gen. La doubts what I say, look at the files of 1892. This anonymous ignoramus—there is . “smothers every letter I (you) write to the-TransenirtT.” In other. words, that I try to conceal from your readers the thought that I am superior to them. Of course, it is another one of the lies of this incorrigible wretch., Your readers know that without fear or favor I have stood up for their interests. If I am egotistical—and I do not believe I am, because many old residents of Nevada county can tell how anxiously I have sought for imformation among them, and how I have read many of my articles to them and have taken their advice as to amending or otherwise—if, Isay,l am egotistical, my friends in Nevada county are to blame. I have had so many bouquets thrown at me that it would take a stronger man than plain Walter Mead to prevent some of tha blossoms and sweet perfume from clinging to his being. So, the scent must permeate my writings, or perhaps the\sting of the bee is felt, as these “2” brainy Democrats—save }the mark—are complimentary enough to call me egotistical. I really feel flattered to know that with all the careful reading he has evidently given my writings, that is the only flaw he can find. You will observe that in the preceding sentence I dropped the dummy. When I am offered the place that Col. Burns (as this descendat of Annanjas says) has in store for me, I will be able-to visit Nevada county; and one of the first visits I make after the TxansorirT office has been hailed, will be upon thé Nevada City editor of the Grass Valley Union; and the “egotistical old man,” the “scholar,” will no doubt find a warm welcome in the holy of holies. In conclusion, I again state that the members of the Legislature will honor themselves far more than they do Col. Barns, by electing him to the Senate :f grows gréater-every year. I do not. present to throw off the yoke. Water Mrap.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA. To Gain Flesh, to Sleep Well, to Know ‘What Appetite and Good Digestion Mears. MAKE A TEST OF STUART’S DYSPEPSiA TABLETS. No trouble is more common or more misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia. People having it think their nerves are to blame and are surprised that they are not cured by nerve medicines. The real seat of the mischief is lost sight of. The stomach is the or, gan to be looked after. Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any pain whatever in the stomach nor perhaps any of the usual symptoms of stomach, weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself not in the stomach so much asin nearly every organ.

Hood’s Sarsaparilla Their Faith in This Medicine is Grounded on Merit They Know It Absolutely Cures When Other Medicines Fail Hood’s Sarsaparilie is not merely a simple preparation of Sarsaparilla, Dock, Stillingia and a little Iodide of Potassium. Besides these excellent alteratives, it also contains those great anti-bilious and liver remedies, Mandrake and Dandelion. It also contains those great, kidney remedies, Uva Ursi, Juniper Berries, and Pipsissewa. Nor are these all. Other very valuable curative agents are harmoniously combined in Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and it is carefully prepared under the reonal supervision of a regularly educa pharmacist. a Knowing these facts, is the abfding faith the people have in Hood’s Sarsaparilla a matter of surprise? You can-see why Hood’s Sarsaparilla cures, when other medicines totally, absolutely fail. “My little girl was afflicted with eczema and-suffered for'seven years.
