‘ ~ Forthe Baunper. ‘ "~ RETALIATION. , Worr Laxe, Jan. 18, 1878. Eprror NatioNaL Baxser:—l have, until the present time, refrained from taking any part in the contest between Rural, alias Roof, and “Wiley &c.”” deeming his frequent allusions to myself, like all the articles from the pen of this ignorant pimp Roof, too weak and thin for consideration. [ call him ignorant, and shall show that heé is; I call him a pimp, because he is a pander for the few in the vicinity of Wolf Lake who are hisfollowers; to show his weakness as a writer, [ will make a general sumwing up of his assertiops. In all his writings coucerning matters at Wolf Lake since his defeat at the schoolmeeting last full, bre bas failed to make but one point; he has succeeded admirably, but unintectionally, in showing to the cominunity that he is not a Geo. Washington, for Geo. Washington could not tell a lie. but follow me througb and then judge of Mr. Roof's abilities to exercise this peculiar fac~ulty of his mental makeup. I commence the exposition of ignorance by referring the rjeiders of the BAxNER to the lengthy mass of child- | ish confab in the Kendallville Standqrd‘of Dec. 18th, 1872, intended for an exposition of & fraudulent disbursement of public funds by Jno. Thumma, late Trustee of Noble Township. A perusal of this article will reveal to every comprehensive reader, the fact that the author, G. W. Roof, fails to establish‘a single. point; hence, no room is left for controversy. I bave not heard of a siggle reader of the ar‘ticle who is able to draw any conclusion as to ‘the idea to be conveyed, and Ivery much doubt the possibility of Mr Roof being able to make anything definite out of his own wild babble. It is indeed strange that a man of Ruf’s pretended smartness should not take into consideration the fact that a Trustee must present, on settling with the County Commissioners, 'a set of books comparing ‘with those kept by the county Officials, thus making it impossible for a Trustee to swindle a Town ship out of one cent ot ‘its funds inany other ‘way than by becoming a defaulter; beuce',b hé p}oves bis ignorance by making the attack. To further establish the proof that Roof is ignorant and incousiderate, I refer to his al--lusions tb schoo! affairs 1m this (Wolf Lake) district. On being solicited by a number of citizens of this district to take charge of the Wolf Lake school this winter, I agreed to do 80 ou certain conditions; accordingly, my name with proposition was handed in at the schoolmeeting for the selection of a teacher for the winter term now in session; I was not in the

county at the tfme, but am informed by the gentlemen whose names 1 give below that Mr. Roof and mycelf were the candidates voted for. Now, Mr. Roof, in his weak way, would have the public think that he was the: choice of the district; that certain parties have ex. pressed a regret that they did not vote for him &c. To prove him an ignorant liar, we need ouly refer to ttie very feeble: reply toan article from the pen of Mr. Wiley, which appeared'in the BaxNer of Jun. Ist, 1873, explaining how he came to incur- the displeasure of Mr. Roof. Inßoofs reply to this article, which appears in last week’s BANNER, he most egregiously exposes his incompetency to tell the truth, He places Mr, Wiley’s assertions, under error; now, will the reader please compare his Recapitulation with hislist of errors. The reply to “error No. I,”’ is entirely foreign to. Mr. Wiley’s assertion. In No. 2, he fully sixbstantiu.tes Mr. W’s assertion by giving the' names of the gentlemen who Yoted against him, and yet charges that it ils an error; examine his recapitulation of this subject. Politically. the list as given by Roof, stands: Republicans — Benj. Bethel, Jno. Prickett, Jacob Stévick, C. V. Barnhart, ‘Lew. Hite and Jno. Shipley. Democrats—D. B. Cary, Robt. Mayfield, Jno. Thumma, E. P. Gouts, C. R. Wiley, Wm. Richmond and W. Shum baugh. I have held a personal interview with the gentlemen named, excépting one, and they all inform me that they voted at the schoolmeeting just as their judgment dictated; that they were not mfluenced by any party, and that they positively have never intimated to- Roof that they regreted baving voted for e, and all donounce him as a baga ligr; if he. is not, let him give the parties’ names, otherwite he cannot expect to be believed in the matter. -Mr. Stevick also declares that he has never had any such/conversation with Roof as he is .charged with in recapitulation No. 2; that Roof has willfully lied, and to show that he has, contemplates publishing his conversation with Roof, ‘and will publicly charge him with malicious falsehood.

There were twenty-one votes cast at the meeting; the parties voting for Roof, were: Republicans—Ed Matthews, Tho. Matthews, P. Clark, Geo. W. Roof and Tip. Hardenburg. Democrats— Geon. Braden, S. Gray and Jno. Cullers. The legal voters who were not present to vote, but tendered their hearty approval of the result of the meeting, are Dr E W, De Pew, Jno. Young, Felt Allen and Thomas Gray; thre& of whom are Republicans, making a.total of 9 rep. and 8 dem. for Hughes, and 5 rep. and 3 dem. for Roof. Hughes' majority over Roof, 9. The public will see trom this statement who was the actual choice of the district: I have given this little exposition, not as the opening to a controversy between this ignoramus and myself, for I have no desire to write with a man who cannot make a single point in an argament; but to show up his. weakness to the people as he continues to misreprésent me. I shall hereatter treat him with silent contempt. . Yours Truly, Geo. W. HucHEs.
