VERDICT WITH LEAVES direct, in public or in private, to In last iune of The Nation pnblialied a synopsis of the insult-inf- ; and cowardly attack made by some anonymous writer against President George Q. Cannon, also editorial comments upon same. Mr. Cannon replied to this vicious attack through the columns of the Tribune a'nd .wn herewith reproduce his reply in fall: Editor Tribane. Through a somewhat lengthy pnblio career I have made it a point never to notice or reply to articles or communications in which I have been assailed, especially those of an anonymous character. An article baa appeared in two of onr city papers, clipped from ' the New Tork Times, in which in seven long mortal columns J am Savagely attached, ini njconduct, my business relations and my family affairs are discussed with a malignity that exhibits some purpose on the to do me a perwriter of the part sonal injnry, and, if possible, destroy my credit If all that is said would only have effect upon me personally, I would not condescend to trouble the public with an explanation or defense- - Experience has abundantly tangbt me that while it is we - deep-seate- d true that a lie will go a league while troth is putting on its boots, for an lioneet man, whose cond net is straightforward and upright, to outlive any falsehood.

This is my reason, and my only Teason, for trespassing upon public attention at this time. Among my own people I trust I am too well known to he required to make any explanation or defense of my conduct.

They were nominated for these offices because it was thought they possessed the necessary qualifications for tho positions; and, so far as I know, they filled them to the satisfaction of thoeo who elected them. Upon the question of using influence of office, either political or ecclesiastical, for the advancement of family interests nr the promotion of relatives, I have always been peculiarly senaitive, and in view of the attack of this writer upon me and my methods, it gives me groat pleasure to make pnblio wliat my conduct in this lLa one-o- f I might reply in much detail as to the manner in which this anonymous writer says I became the owner of stock in the Bnllion-Bec- k A Champion Mining company. Mr. John Bock, without my solicitation or knowledge, haa amply refnted, in both the Tribnne and the Herald of this city, the allegation made by my assailant concerning the method by which 1 became possessed of the stock to John Becks injury. To bis statement I may make this addition: That President John Taylor and mysal bargained with Mr. Beck for interest each in that property.
