Yet. in ell this time. they have proved

At another time. . libel suit was
brought before Judge Reid. because
I've had said acersain young lady had

mitted before the court. that he did
get drunk. that he did whip bis dsugh.

This was enough to justly that Dem
oerstic Judge in fastening damages

and vote he expected 10 need.
Alater specimen Of our lying Is TIL
following Two weeks ago We pub
lished the following: stree

nerl would deny some Of the fast
which We publish. but with the mel
whom be expects 10 influence he think

bailiifs cost the county. on an aversg
about S7l per month. the year refund
nor that be has collected and pocket

dered by bailiffs. though the law for
bidsit. He says that he pays his owl
deputies. and il is no body's bushes
how many he has. Exsctly so; bu
, there is difference between q dspui
and . bailiff. Mr.. Sheriff. No bod
ever said the county pays your dep

baiiiffs."
Here We distinctly reassertthat NJ
Batzner's bailitfs cost the county abou
ell per month--enough to keep

these bailitfs, contrary to law. w

king the county pay bis deputies. br
il does pay for bail1s. In allusiou
this very article our honsss sheriff pull
fishes the following card:

This is fair specimen OF tho Ii
; charged upon us. Every honest m'
. can judge who is the liar. We vi
e not say. We do not apply that ep
! ,hst to any man. We only publ,
. the facts Is they are. While the
5 are many persons acting with th
e party who either want sense or hone
e ~ enough TO see the baseless chsra
e ter Of sush charges. there are hu
p drsds who are both intelligent epoul

q resent a resort 10 that method Of ca
!. rying the party for corrupt men,.

J. party. that will resort TO such means
deter honest citizens from investig

ID be- sustained. except hy those v
