As great number of our people will want to

such ample provisions have been made, the

S2IO,OOO Saved.

Gibson. by keeping silent the enormous defal
cation of Breslin, has brought upon himself IT,
retrieveable ruin, but by that course succeeded
in securing to the State over two hundred thou
sand dollars, which would otherwise have been
lost Bleslin's original defalcation amounted to
near one million of dollars; but Gibson sue
ceeded in securing 100000, which reduces it
to about $775, 900. Had Breslin been exposed
when Gibson first detected his enormous fraud,
the State would never have got the 100000
which it received throught the stratagem of the
late Treasurer.

Sfici, n Pin IIcre.


We have vet to see the (irst Republican paper
that does not denounee Mr. Gibson for the part
which he has played in the recent defalcation /;
and we have yet to see The first democratic pa
per which does not seek 10 exonerate Bre lin
from all blame in the matter. They will admit
that he is defaulter to an amount over two
hundred thousand dollars, but then that Is noth
inpl They must admit that the facts clearly
point TO him as baing def,ulter to the amount
Of near eight hundred thousand dollars, yet not
a word of censure escapes their lips; while
column after column is filled with capitals to
impress the mind of the reader with a belief
thai Gibson who has sought to save the S'a'e
and at the same time preserve the character oi
his brother-in-law, is very bad man. we
know that Mr.. Gibson has done wrong. No
honest man will deny this. And we know, too
that Breslin has swindled the State out ol
very large sums OF money, which he never has
denied Their position in this instance is
not new one. II is their common practice.
We have yet the first instance to record where
the democrats have not sustained those who
have robbed the treasury. Don't be startled at
this announcement but think OF 1t. Wha'
course did they pursue some years since, when
Yantz. Bates, Murine, and their co managers
of the Public Works robbed the State OF near
three hundred thousand dollars 2 What course
did they pursue when Sam. Melary literally
stole money from the State treasury to the
amount of near one hundred thousan' dollars
bv charuine for printing never done? What did
thew do in Morrow county, when their county
treasurer ran off with eighteen thousand dollars
of the county funds? What in Knox county
when their county officers robbed the treasury OF
thirty thousand dollars? What in Holmes
county, when their treasurer robbed them Of
twenty thousand dollars What did they say
when it was shown that more than million OF
dollars had been squandered on the State House,
and the Dayton and Newburg Asylnms? What
did they say when ii was shown that the late
Board of Public Works had swindled the State
ont of near four hundred thousand dollars p
And what do they say now, when it is discov-
cred that their late treasurer has robbed the
people of three quarters of a million of dollars
These are questions worth thinking about, and
their answer will show who and what party are
responsible for the many frauds perpetraed by
public officers We assert, them knowing II to
be true, that the leaders of the democratic party
encourage robbery and theft by upholding and
endeavoriug to shield from harm those who
have been and are guilty of both these crimes

fore the Democratic State Convention for the Of
fee of Treasurer of StuIe-Napoleon North
West.
And thereby hangs tale john Bates is an
nounced as a candidate for State Treasurer, and
We know the parties who make tbs! announcement
and the trick is this: certain parties who would
like to have the lingering Of the Wool County
funds, thinking that Mr. Bates might not be an
easy man to defeat, have taken this method to get
him out Of the county convention. If Mr Bates
is green enough to be caught in this gul-trap, then
the contest for the nomination will be between TWO
gentlemen of the sharp kinl--one Of whom is a
citizen of this place, and the other isn't. Perhaps
Mr.. Bates will submit to being made cats paw
for these political gamblers who thus seek to cheat
the honest portion of their party and if possible,
get their nimble fingers into the county treasury
