Messrs. Schoch q Kollock:


lure OF H. S. Said article has very Stormy
commencement, with somewhat OF BuSh-y tail,
Were il mol for the manifold and various false
hoods contained therein, no notice would have
been taken Of the matter, but the people are
lovers of truth, and when an endeavor is made
10 deceive the public it becomes the duty OF
every honest man tu endeavor TO undeceive
them as much as lays in his power, because
truth is mighty and ought 10 prevail. Occu-
pying as do central position in our County,
and having of la;e become thoroughly acquain-
ted with The past management Of The financial
affairs of ouf County. feel II duty incumbent,
upon me TO say few words respecting The ar
ticIe above alluded 10, and very respectfully So
licir you, Messrs Editors, TO give this place
M your columns.
The writers of the article in question have
given my neghbor AndreU first rate ,vhitc-
ucaSting, and have drawn the brush across Jacob
d few times, leaving poor Jake only half finish
ed. | am of opinion ha, The article alluded TO,
is the joint production of very numerous
family in your borough, consisting of Dr. Daddv
aud some half dozen Dr. Sonnies, acith kttLe
Jenny l.. l.. D. aided by M.f, and The former
tender OF The Smut Machine. Poor Jake has
reason TO entertain feelings of jealousy towards
the writer's of the article in question, on account
of The very partial manner in which they apply
the whlte-wash 10 Andrew TO the almost utter
neglect of poor Jake. They term Andrea the
most worthy and honorable man in our County,
aud assert that the said AndTew is the mobiles,
work Of God, but say nothing respecting the
honesty, integrity, or virtues oil poor JAKE who
succeeded this noble uOrk TO the office alore-
a. =.
dreW think perceive the reason 10 be
>Imply this. That in consideration of the ex-
ceiieni embarrassing lha, Aadretc has received
al The hands OF those eminent wriiers-he is
10 employ The family aforesaid 10 perform all
The physical, surgical, and legal operations that
may become necessary for himself, family and
all The friends he can control during his natural
life, aud the other two personages are 10 supply
INN, family and friends aforesaid, with ali The
Smut Machines, and miscellaneous matters in
their line for The period aforesaid. We will
now proceed 10 an examination of the points
made use Of, and charges preferred in the alore-
said piece of White-raSh
lst. They say ANDREW has been grossly
abused, assailed, and slandered in the most
outrageous manner, in several pieces which ap-
peared in your Federal Paper consider said
charges all untrue. gave every article which
appeared in 1912 in both The Monroe county
papers, fair consideration, and an impartial
perusal, and have found every article which
appeared in the JeferSonian true 10 the very
leuer All The supposiiiOns and matters which
were moi Immediately shown 10 The satisfaction
OF The public, have since been conclusvely
verified, and The truth, the whole truth, and
nolhlng but the truth, laid before the public,
through The columns of The Republican. am
aOrry that as much cannot be said with respect
10 the MONROE DEMoCRAT. am Of the opin-
ion that the JEFFERsoNIAN REPUBLICAN, and
those who have written for its columns, have
saved 10 our tax ridden population upwards of
1900 dollars in litle over a year in matters of
County charges, and amounts refunded, &c.
from which an inference could be drawn, 10
prove The Republican the most Democratic OF
the two. The definition of Democracy being
The greatest good TO the greatest number.
ID. They say A. Storm was Treasurer in
1888 81 '39, soaich is untrue-he was Treasurer
during The years 1889 and lS40.
3rd They say-he seuled his accounts in
The same manner that all former Treasurers had
done in this County. THIS as Incorrect my
neighbor Joseph Fenner, was the first and only
Treasurer who preceded friend Andrew, and
he settled his accounts very differently, nor
did he retain a single Dollar in the shape Of
deprecated, spurious, or redemption monies, but
on the contrary, Immediately accounted for,
and paid over every dollar TO his successor
ARdrew
4ih. They say Andreu's last account was
settled In January, $40. THIS is another base
fa5ricdtl0n--his last account was settled in
Jannary lS4I, as The records will show, and
an amendment or relunding clause made there
80 as Iaie as March l64l, for which see rec
Ords.
5,h They say--The redemption money
under the then existing law, remained in the
hands OF the Treasurer who had received il, TO
be paid over when demanded by The purchaser.
This is another bare faced falsehoOd.
9th. They say such was the settled opinion,
and The received construction (Where was this
construction received from at cos, suppose
of $4,000 per annum) Of the then existing
Jaw. Consequently, Mr. Storm, al the time of
settling his second account. was under no legal
