''The scrip paid into the county treasury

for stating that in twelve cases, taken at
random throughout the county, Mr.. Dodge
received between 5000 and 500 of the county
tax, in cash. Another gentleman also in
forms US that he has sold county scrip to one
of Mr. Dodge's deputies, at IS cents on the

Dodge must have deceived large amount of

permitted spectators in, or holders Of scrip,
to pay both their State and county tax in
