[Mem.--During the rest of the campaign this paper never referred to me in any other way than as "the infamous perjurer Twain."]
(附注——从此以后,在竞选运动期中,这个报纸一提到我,惟一的称呼就始终是“无耻的伪证制造者吐温”。)
Next came the Gazette, with this:
其次是《资讯报》,上面登着这么一段:
WANTED TO KNOW.--Will the new candidate for Governor deign to explain to certain of his fellow-citizens (who are suffering to vote for him!) the little circumstance of his cabin-mates in Montana losing small valuables from time to time, until at last, these things having been invariably found on Mr. Twain's person or in his "trunk" (newspaper he rolled his traps in), they felt compelled to give him a friendly admonition for his own good, and so tarred and feathered him, and rode him on a rail; and then advised him to leave a permanent vacuum in the place he usually occupied in the camp. Will he do this?
敬请说明——新任州长竞选人可否将下述事实经过向本市若干迫切等待着给他投票的市民赐予说明,以释群疑?他在蒙大拿的时候,和他同住在一间小房子里的伙伴们时常遗失一些小小的贵重物品,后来这些东西通通在吐温先生身上或是他的“皮箱”(他用来包裹身边物品的报纸)里找到了。于是大家为了帮助他改过自新,就不得不对他进一番友谊的忠告,所以就给他浑身涂满柏油,粘上羽毛,让他吃“坐木杠”的苦头,然后就叫他永远离开他在这个工棚里所占的位子。这究竟是怎么回事,他可以说明一下吗?
