Look at the ticket presented by the Trea-
sury Eaters Of this county for the sudrages
Of free people, and from beginning ID
end, with but one exception. you will find
il composed Of ths very class Of men who
have 50 long disgraced our State.-nien
who are ready to give up every thing else
to secure permaueney to plrlizan orgauiza
ton. Let the voters Of the county look
well to this matter, and see that men who
know and appreciate the wants Of the peo-
pie are selectedto preside over our desti.
nies. Give us MEs, not demagogues. to
represent us in the next Legislature Of the
State. We wantmen who have the moral
courage to legiaIate for the people aud not
for party.
American Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Ohio) 1855-1860, 1855-09-20

We have been reliably informed that
for years past system Of peculation has
been going on in the Treasurers Office in
this county which has heretofore defed
all efforts at detection. 1t is well known
that in every political struggle in this
county hundreds and sometimes thousands
of dollars have been expended by men
known to be possessed Of very moderate
proportion Of worldly wealth. This has
frequently been a matter of observation
and remark among the people of the coun-
ty, and not until quite recently has the
goose which laid the golden egg been dis
covered. We are now informed by per-
sons entitled to credit, that it has been Gus
tomary among County Treasurers to fur
nish members Of the Red Lodge money
from the treasury for electioneering purpo-
ses--taking irresponsible individual notes
for security. 1t is also said that hundreds
of dollars in this kind Of paper can at the
present time be found on file in the Office,
which is worth about as much as so much
blank paper. Up to this time, however
these several amounts have been returned
as casA-the Clique not daring to make a
true exhibit OF The condition of the county
finances. If these reports are founded on
well established proof, as We are assured
they are, The people should at once see chat
a thorough investigation be made into this
the most responsible Office in the county.
We have not hoard She .ii-rtcgrity-u 3f1'.
Graybill brought in question, and therefore
infer that this system gessrnea the acts o.
former Treasurers. 1t would be well
however, for Mr.. Gray bill to inquire intc
the truthfulness of these reports, as fail
ure to do so might at some future time un'
Justly reflect discredit on his Official char
acter In view Of these reports it is of the
greatest importance that a man of nerve
and ability should be elected to fill thi
very important position, and above all,
man of acknowledged capacity to ferre
out and correct any evils which may b
found. The duties of Treasurer are sucl
as to require a man well read in fnancia
operations to discharge. In the selection
Of candidate for this Office the nomiua
, ting convention should have an eye siHgi
20 capacity and honesty. 1t is, we repeat
an important position, and one which fe'
4 are capable to fill.
American Lancaster gazette. [volume] (Lancaster, Ohio) 1855-1860, 1855-09-20
REMEMBER!

That the leaders of the Red Lodge Clique
denied the right of suffrage to American
freemen at their primary election to nom
mate a county and senatorial ticket
Remember, That Andrew Fonst used all
the power of his official station while Sen
ator from this District to defeat the con-
struction of the Cincinnati, Wilmington &
GAINESVILLE Rail Road, and that his opposi-
ton 10 this road caused a useless expendi
ture of one hundred thousand dollars.
Rsmem5sr, That his opposition to our
railroad was sufficient reason for his party
to refuse to return him to the Senate, and
that his nomination at this time is to save
some greater ravorite from the mortifica-
ton of defeat, result they look upon as
certain.
RtmemJcr, That VIM. Medill, the loco
,foco candidate Tor Governor, has asserted
in different portions of tho State that he is
member of the Methodist Church, and
that this same Medil when at home is a
notorious patron of all the Lager Beer
Sinks in the city, and spends hundreds of
dollars in intoxicating drink for distribu-
ton among his friends.
Remember, That Governor Medill is the
proprietor of the Ohio Eagle, and that
when it speaks of his towering abilities and
Eunblemished character, that it is Billy Me-
dill blowing his own trumpet.
| Remember, that VIM. MedIl used all the
means in his power to prevent the expo
sure of hundreds of dollars of county cor
ruptiou from being placed upon record, de-
clararing that it would only have tenden'
cy to distract the quiet Of the party, which
was held together by the 'adhesiyeness oI
public plunder"
