last summer in regard 10 the ST. Clair
The Red Dog shows his teeth,
md acts for all the world as if he had the hydro
phobia! We stated that when Mr.. Sharp IA de-
nocratl was Auditor of this county, the publica-1
lion Of the Receipts and Expenditures of the
public money only cost the people $25 so. Al
lison says we quarreled with Mr.. Sharp because
he did not write the items out in full. That's
another base falsehood. Mr.. Sharp and myself
never had an angry word in our lives, about
printing or any other matter whatsoever
On the 9th of January, 1914, the Legislature
passed what is generally called the retrenchment
law. The Both section of that law makes il the
duty of the county auditors, where more than one
paper is printed in a county, to receive propo-
sails for printing the receipts and expenditures,
and TO give the contract to the lowest bidder
Under this law we understood the other printers
of the town put in sealed proposals to publish the
receipts and expenditures. We did not put on r
selves to any such trouble, as subsequent act Of
the Legislature, passed March II, 1914, During
the same session. fixed the price OF all legal dd-
pertisements, and repealed all la,cs inconsistent
herewith. We never said word to influence
Mr.. Sharp, and left him to act in the premises as
he thought proper. We knew nothing about the
manner in which he made out the exhibit, until
we saw it in our printing office, where it was left
in our absence. Mr.. Sharp in condensng the
exhibit, done what he conceived to be right-he
desired to lessen the heavy taxes of the people
of Harrison county-he acted legally, and not
without precedent, as the galvanised squash of
the Republican wishes TO make it appear But
the whigs making loud-mouthed but hypocritcal
professions of reform, elected Mr. Edney Audi
Tor Instead of following the good example set
by Mr.. Sharp, as we'll as many other County Au-
ditors in the State, Mr.. Edney goes to work and
makes out an exhibit, which will fleece from the
honest taxpayers of the county some $l3O, and
the sneaking kuaye of the Republican justifes
the act, by declaring that it was all for the bene
fit Of his creditors! Yes, the people of Harr
son county must toll and sweat in order to pay
the old debts ofa lying rascal, who will only
abuse them in return! This transaction is fail
specimen of federal profession and federal prac
tee They will preach with saint-like sincerity
to the people about "reform," 'curtailment o
Expenditures" &c, before the election! bu
= when they have secured to themselves th
"loaves and fshes," the peoples money is throw
! away like chaff!
sE* The Cd section of the act of March IL, lS4i
greouires that call legal advertisements snail be SC
Q up in compact manner, without any unneces
sary blanks or head lines, and the account rer
!, dered by the printer SHALL in all cases be accom-
II panied by an affidavit, setting forth that the pre-
II visions of this act have been fully complied wit
on his part, in its letter and spirit" Now, a
d we have TO say is, that if Allison will swear thi
e he has complied with the provisions of the lav
J: in publishing the receipts and expenditures, /
will commit gross and papable perjury! Nov
. sqash head, do you think that is libellous?
For the slang that Mr.. Edney has thrown OF
e e in his communication, we don't care pinch
h snuff Nothing better could be expected fro
an English tory, wko is (as we are informed) co
e stantly abusing the government which affort
u him protection, and laudiHg the monarchic
= institutions of his native land.
Al Allison's crazy ebulltion and intense blac
Is guardsm, are in perfect keeping with the scou
y drel, and but confirms the opinion expressed
II II him by whig in Guernsey county the other da
o. that che would lie, cheat, or do any other me-
le action" 1t is no wonder that the moral and +
st spectacle portion of the whig party are anxious
IS get rid of the public nuisance; and we ha'
learned that the paper is shortly TO undergo
change of propretors, and that squash head "
ST. be kicked out ofthe concern sans ceremonie.
of Since writing the above, we received the
of FLOWING communication from Mr.. Sharp, the Ia
cy Auditor.

Mr.. Harper!
We SIR--I believe if every man thought as lit

their slang as do they would generally be

the editor of that sheet Of violating sworn

Auditor, but likewise by Mr.. Edney our pres,
