Treasurer, succeeded a relative Of his in the Treas
ury Department, the accounts were not correct
There was then, we believe, a deficit, but the ofict
being in the family, the difficulty was not exposed
During Breslin's term the deficit was largely in
creased. lie was succeeded, by another relative
W. II: Gibson, q republican who undertook t
shoulder Breslin's burden, The deficit at the tim,
the latter went out of Office, was, it is said, equal t
the amount now reported. 1t was Gibson's dut!
to expose this, but the family connection prevent
cd him from doing his duty. Breslin, it is said

we are told, lived in hopes that his relative prove
equal to his promise. But Breslin failed to furnish
the missing money, and Gibson has beer finally
been compelled to show his hand.-Cin. Gazette.
