I believe them to be honorable gen
tlemen. who desire to run their paper
in the Interests of the people of the ter
ritory. Very respectfully,

ACAKI) FUON HR. IKVIXF.
Tu ths Public:
During the campaign just closed the
Cheyenne Sun hat repeatedly stated
that The Cheyenne Leader was
giving its support to M. E. Post be
cause of a money consideration extend
ed by Mr. Post to the owners of the
Leader. It also insinuated that, at
the time I sold the Leader office to
Morrow & Sullivan, a stipulation was
made by me that the paper should sup
l>ort Mr. Post’s candidacy for congress.
I wish positively to deny that Mr.
Post purchased the support of the
Leader in the late campaign. I wish
also to state that the insinuation in the
Sun that any stipulation was made at
the time I sold the Leader, or at any
other time, 1a false.
I liave had the pleasure of knowing
Messrs. Morrow and Sullivan for many
years, and am willing to vouch for
them as honorable men incapable of
selling the support of their newspaper 11
to any candidate.
