NEW TRENTON, Aug. 81, 1905.
Mr.. FosrER:-Dear Sir:-Wo were
edited by "the brass piece of Democra-
cy" of this County, from your town,
last Saturday night by one of his vvy
peculiar speeches. "Danp is known
among US from his childhood, and de-
monstratcs the truth that "a prophet is
not without honor, save in his own
country" There are times, when i'm
PEELED by force of surrounding circum-
stances and associations, that hc be-.
comes the apparent exponent of the
views Of his party but too often, guided
by the-hatural instincts ola demagogue
his efforts are exclusively devoted to
arouse tho prejudices and cater to the
vicious appetites of the rabble. OF the
latter sort was bis speech on SATURDAY.
evening, and we can have no better nd :
vocate Of our cause, than to get "Dan'
to go around the County, AMI supply
him with plenty of good "lager."
We hear down this way, insinuations
that there is something wrong in the
accounts of our County Auditor, DR..
Quick We regret this, as John has
always been regarded in this neighbor-
hood as good. easy, clever fellow,
and one that we feared might be impos.
ed on by designing mon to promote
their individual purposes. II has been
limited that the DIR. drew an order in fa.
vor Of the late Treasurer Robinson, for
81, 800 90 on the treasury, for which he
had no authority Of iap ,chateper, and
that said funds were. not due to the
Treasurer, and have never been paid
back. We would like TO know, Mr.
Editor, if this is true or false? And
whether true or false, we think DIR. John
Quick is the man to step forward and
demand an investigation into the
charge. win you inform us whether he
has or not2
The ncighbors in the country are
talking good deal about this thing
and say If Quick is innocent Of this
charge, for the respect they entertain
for him and DIR. Clever, they will
vote for him irrespective of party-but
if he is guilty, or backs out from inresti-
cation, they will give him fits.
We are afraid there is something
wrong about our County offices, and the
people are talking about the extrava.
gance of a Court House Clique, and
shouldn't be surprised if good many
OF the faithful drop him this time. Now
Dan didn't say word IN explanation
of these charges, and all the Democratic
speakers arc as mum as the dead on the
subject
We have but little political feeling
with us, and nobody has much to say
but the governmental official and his
special guardian, who are not able to
array neighbor against ncighbor a.
yet.
This question, however, about draw
ing orders on tn, County Treasury, by
the Auditor, without authority Of lew
is making considerable stir, AMI We
think DR.. Quick had best clear up the
thing. We don't want the DR.. down
this way to be misrepresented; and il
he is innocent, we hope he will have
the matter investigated before the cleo
ton If the DIR. would just invite JEFF
Tyner and A. J. Ross, who are both
clever fellows, and would no doubt do
the DR.. justice, to examine into the
matter, and make a little report, and
have il published, it would do him
much good down here, and make his
friends feel 40 well.
You may hear from me again, if you
think my letters worthy republication.
Your friend, TRUTH.
