The County Canvass and Candidates.

1t is proper that the people should
understand the issues at stake, and act
with reference 10 their own bes, good.
The candidates for the Legislature are
row before you, and will discuss al
l~ngth, the various questions agi.a!ing
he public mind; and you can Judge for
yourselves Of their merits or dement's.
But we would like to say a few words
in regard to county matters. You are
al well aware of the fact that three
years ago Wapello comfy was consid-
cred TO be hopelessly in debt; SO much
so. indeed, tina, the real amour Of in.
debtedness could not certainly be ascer-
tanned, from the manner in which the
business had been managed. We do
not pretend TO say tina. any particular
officer was to blame for this, but still
this state Of things existed. Well, since
that time, you have had a mixture
some Wings and some Democrats--in
your county Offices, and the change has
proved Of great benefit TO the county
II is now nearly out Of debt, (,here not
being enough cornty orders outstanding
to pay the county taxes due this fall,)
and Judge 0sburn has contracted for the
building Of a Couri House TO cost 49,.
372, and the county will not have TO 60
in debt but little, if any at all, 10 pay tor
it in the next W years.
These facts speak for themselves, and
is a strong argument in favor of again
elec,ing Wing officers. Think OF this
matter, fellow citizens! Ii is one that
appeals 10 our pockets; and, as you all
know, tina, is the most sensitive place a.
bout Us.
