AN OPEN LBTTE= TO SOHU=Z,

Hon. Geo. 'V. Julian Indulges in Some Plain Pjrsonoiities Toward the Late Secretary of the Interior. Geo. W. Julian has addressed an open letter to Carl Schurz, In which he repeats the charges made in his article in The North American Review regarding the conveyance to railrood companies lands that did not belong to them. In the course of his letter Mr. Julian says: “You say I accuse you ol having devised some devilish machinery for conveying to railroad companies lands that do not belong to them. You purposely misstate the truth. You simply perverted to base cuds, in the Interest of the railway, the machinery already in existence, and which had been created for an entirely different purpose. ,r After taking up one by one the points made by Schurz and asserting that the ex-secretary «t interior evades and skulks the question at issue, Mr. Julian concludes: “The closing part of your letter, in which you absurdly impute my long-stand ing hostility to railway domination to the failure of railroad kings to purchase my services is yery characteristic. You Judge me by yourself. But I cannot return the compli* ment thus unwittingly bestowed, for I have shown that ' they did purchase your s-rviees anu found them au ‘exceedingly protit able investment.’ ”|
