cry oae is interested. Tho Herald says
that "thc extent and weight of our county
taxes depend mainly OH the actin OF two
agencies-lst. The Prosecuting Attorney,
and I'd. The Courty Commissioners.
And then goes on to say that "if the peo-
pie see proper to elect to the office of Pros
ecuting Attorney a STRIPPING ignoramus
who knows net what to prosecute and
gets himself defeated in nearly everything
that he does prosecute, why the people
that elect him must, as matter OF course,
h,ving chosen to dance to the only tune
which he can play-.that of ignorance and
imbecility-'pay the piper
We suppose the above could not have
been intended to hit the present incumbent
of the Office spoken IF? When you, Mr..
Herald, said stripping ignoramus,'' you
certainly had no reference to our young
and somewhat slender friend, WALTER y
And when you speak of the Prosecutor
not knowing what to prosecute, and get
ting himself defeated in nearly everything
he does prosecute, you don't allude to the
Counterleiling Gases last winter, or the
Ganges Liquor Cases, or--but there's no
necessity for enumeration-you don't a.
lude to those, do you? If you do, you
are unkind-very. Don't you know that
he wants the Office another term? Isn't
it malicious to parade these facts before
the public just nowe Why the Democ-
racy may not vote for him at the Primary
Elections, and if he loses the office, how
is he to support himself by his profes-
sion? The county might as we'll support
him in office as out of Office, for if he
sticks closely to law it will will have to
do it one way or another. Don't injure
the young mans prospects.
After the Herald man gets through with
the Prosec ltor, he skins the Commission
srs. He insists that in Richlaud County
It has always been necessary for the Com
missioner to be drunkarl and a fool !.
He invites the Taxpayers to look at the
new Court House-just ready to tumble
down with its own weight-and pertinent
" inquiries if competent and faithful Com
missioner would have given such a job
to such mechanic, or would they have
accepted it at the full price of a good and
substantial building ? The Herald then
lets the people into the secrets Of bridge
building, the great leak in the county
treasury. 1t says the Commissioners have
so long been in the habit of giving theS'
contracts to party favorites that nlechan
les will not compete for it, and SO the joi
is let at double what it should be. An
other plan is for the iavorite to bid Of
the job ct so low rate as to defy com
petition, anu then after the work is begun
to alter the plan Of the structure jus
enough to put an end to the contract, AM
then the contractors change, and the com
missioners pay, as much as the county cal
stand Willard Hickox one of the pres
ent Commissioners, the Herald sets dow
as good officer, and an honest man, an
exhorts the people to elect others like him
The Herald contains call for a Count
Convention of the Republican party, t
