Last year the Democratic Dynasty ex-
pended $500 for Stationery. and when the
charge Of extravaganza was brought against
them their reply. was that they had a large
amount on hand. almost enough of every
kind to last another year. But, this year
they expended 1910. more than double.
for the same purpose. and now, thinking
the people have forgotten their excuses last
year. offer precisely the same Another
year, at the same rate. it will require more
than $4,000 worth to answer them.
The Democrat is slightly mistaken when
it asserts that not another charge, except
extravaganza, has been made against Pack
ards official conduct That is sufficient
to condemn him. but we have heard nu.
merous other charges of official miscon-
duet urged against him by individuals,
b. which. as they did not authorize us to
refer to them as authority. we have declin-
ell mentioning If man Of his pri-
yate character. makes "a faithful and eff
cient officer" it is certainly one of the sew
EN- wonders. He has not made ga faith
full and efficient" husband. or a good citi-
zen, nor do we believe he has made good
officer. We heard the same thing urged
last year in relation to another Democrat
ic candidate, but he was defeated, and the
discoveries since made have demonstrated
that though saint compared to Packard
so far as moral character is concerned, was
totally unfit for the office he held. SO it
will turn out, we confidently predict, in
Packard's case, If defeated. He has lived
too extravagantly, rode too many fast
horses, built too many costly houses, and
spent too much money in Baccbanalian
rveries and other immoral practices, for
an officer with an income Of less than
So. 900 year. AMI every body knows his
office ought not and does not probably
yield him over 81 500 or 1000 year at
most. There are at least fifty Democrats
and one hundred Republicans in the coun-
ty as well qualified for Clerk as Newt
Packard was when first elected, and who,
| if placed in that station wonld not cause
the blush of shame to mantle the cheeks Of
the moral and religious portion of commu-
nifty on account Of their immoral and dis
graceful acts OF Democrats as well, If
not better qualified than Packard for Clerk,
and much more deserving such an honor
at the hands Of moral and religious CON-
munity. we might mention Joseph Evans,

Henry ALBANIAN, Samuel Corbaley, John

others. OF Republicans. his equal in eve
ry respect and superior in many. although
''untricd and inexperienced" in the duties

The idea that N.wt. Packard is the only
man in the county qualified for Clerk is
an assumption on the part of his friends
too ridiculous to be entertained for sin.
gle moment 1t is an insult to other mem.
bers Of the party.
Why was Packard nominate,l? Why
was not a candidate for Commissioner Sc
lectcd from the country instead Of Flynn
outh? Because it did not suit the inter
ests of the aristoc;atic Central Junro in
Plymouth, who dictate to the party who
to nominate aud who not. They are thu
same men who sold and slaughtered Their
