people," are called upon, to be true TO the
Democratic party, I'll it up, for fresh as

Now for another item, and by that we
will sec how well one of the "Democratic''
officers takes care of number orc:

AND FIFTY FIVE CENTS FOR EVE

sioners Of the county--who now doubts
that the county affairs are conducted on
the most approved democratic" plans?-
Five dollars and fifty cents day, for few
hours laborl The prospect for reduction
in the farmers taxes is good. Only be kind
to the party, they are stripping you in the
most approved style-what matters il il
your taxes are doubled or tripled? Does
it not 60 into the pockets Of Democratic"
lawyers, printers, and county auditors ?
Be patient, don't complain, or some Of the
young Fremont lawyers or county officers
will read you out of the party.

Where the Treasurer is allowed over twely
hundred dollars year for about fol
months labor, and the Auditor fire dol(0'
