To H. M). Loomis, alias Vnnderbilt, alias
J. Gould, would-bo Administrator of
Widows Estate s and Bank Examiner,
Kusse'i., Michigan,
Mx Dem. Sir:—Through the kindness of trieridBX have been j_<__-_i_ltJ_t_d to
r<Mid youtr open Iftlor to me in fche Sentinel. I did not know at tho time I wroto
thafc letter that you was Ping's secretary
or I would havo beoa a little moro cautious with my letter. You say I did a
very commendable act when I flung old
Fipg'tj banner to tho bropze. Well, I
fchoughfc.so at tho tim?, I also thought
Ping-was-a-vilvar man and so did you..
The littvaturo ho sent broadcast over tho
luncl demoted it,-but at that time . ou did
not. lmvo a good word for Pingree, At
that tilths yow would not come and help
raiso tht* pole but as soon as ho was
nominated, what a ehauge in your mind.
Ping is all right now, you would vote for
the dsvil ,-md drink Ms broth if -on the
a*, a. p-lictof.. lea, Hibbie, a, man. .will
do n oommendabio act and not know it
somc-timos. I don't think yon aro a full-
booded gold standard man or you would
have had more faith in the Clare, Bank
than you did when yon scared a widow
eo tbat sho drew her money from the
.Claro Bank and placed it in a bank that
ciosed its doors a few days after, but tbe
key to tfcwholo situation was this: The
men wh6~reprosent the Glare Bank are
for gold with one c-xcoption, and two of
thewarojfor Faimpr and Buckner. Worse
and woi-sp, and yon was afraid the Mrffd-
qwwuu}^ get paid off with 53 cent dol-
Ifb-A.--- Labg head, Hibbie. You say Ping
f6rgot_toj|_end mo n cheek. That's right,
InoVSf g©t~a-j3ink*?r, "but as you tu*» his
henchman, suppose you call the eld
man's attention to it and s«nd mo one.
Yon eay I am fond of checks, that's right,
but whoa I get a good sized one, no gold
standard man can ccme along and make
me refund; Do yon understand, Hibbie?
Yes, from what you say now and then, I
do;._'fc think bufc what you have some sii-
verism in your mind. Yon say, if silver
wins that wages will bo higher and that
a man that is mortgaged will got out
quicker, and "Bur- McKinley, too. Yes,
the people are badly mortgaged, bub we
are, going to elect a president that is not
and his name is Bryan. Now, Hibbie,
what is the matter, don't Pingreo crow
agree with j'on? I heard that your brain
was affi.t.fed ever since yon. got that "fall.
1 am at a loss to know whether it is tho
crow or your brain that brings those
spells. Now, you old swamp angel of
Vernon, lefc mo say to you, that many a
man hns got rich by minding his own business. Will write moro fully in my next
letter. Yours for Silver,
J.H. Seeley.
