We have no desire tojreply in kind to the cowardly attack upon the employees of the Pilot made in this week’s Republican. The article was prompted by malice upon the part of the writer and its evident intention is to work an injury to the manager of this paper, whom the editor of the Republican would stoop at nothing mean in order j to be revenged for onr shown up some of it is stealings in the past. We do not believe our readers are of the scandal loving kind and will ngt insult them by imitating the 'Chicago Sunday Sun as did Marshall this week. Any explanation necessary will be given to the proper persons, not to the public at large. The manager of this paper is innocent of the charges implied in Marshall’s article. There would be as much justice in holding Marshall responsible for two like occurrences which happened in his office in the last four months, or hold his brother Ralph, who came nearly receiving the nomination for judge of the circuit court last year, responsible for a night’s orgies which happened in his law office on the night of April Jsth. or to hold Chas. E. Mills responsible for a like occurrence which is said to have occurred in his office one night, and which he had hard work to explain the next morning to his wife when they made their appearance at his office at an early hour and found evidences of the night’s work, which caused a scene at the time, and wjiieh resulted in a removal of his office from the one occupied by. Marshall’s brother to other quarters. We could give particulars of these incidents, but will not do so unless so forced by the parties interested.
