to hold the Treasurer responsible for all
sums that ought to be in his hands.
That Mr.. Baker and Mr.. Wamplcr
should be on the same ticket is natural,
That the people of the county want their
affairs managed By such men we do no.;
believe. Let US have the affairs Of the
Treasurer's Office brought to light and
straig htened ou. The Treasurer has not
yet settled up the deficit
nea- On looking over the proceedings
Of the So called " Uuon Mass Conven-
tion,' aud of the Democratic Conven.
tiou, as published IN the last Democrat,
we could not but notice that if the for
mcr was not a Convention Of Union low
ers, it was a Convention in which there
was unioa Of everything opposed to
Republicani.m. There were eight can
didates nominated, of whom four were
from the Democratic party and four who
sometimes call themselves Republicans
From the Democrat, were J. 5 Snyder
! for Representative, ard $. Wamplcr for
Treasurer, Of whom we spoke last week,
and }. r. Myers of Mas-ion for Survey,
or, and j. NJ. Watson Of SprincdAle for
corouer. We know neither of these men
personally, bat -" are crcditly informed
that they ar If tho N4hoay stripe, and
Mr. Wafs"n y ne of the iIahUry vigi-
lane committee O. the Republicans
are A. Crissman for Representative, and
K. McCaskcy for Superintendent, both
men whom, we believe. have been con
sidered reliable Republicans We pre-
sumo they were nominated withou, Il cir
consert, but why they permit their names
to stand in such coup ny and with no
prospect Of an election We cannot divine.
That Democrats and professed Rc;ubli-
cans who nave zig SAKE to grind"
should try to keep them on the track is
not strange. If they cE Dose to be goi-
ded by such men the fault l. ;heic own
Hon. Geo. Smith for Judge aud VIM.
Baker for Sheriff, are the otLer proecssed
Republicans The first, we believe, is
pretty we'll known as former judge,
who rot01 / IT,. Republican Convention
il l>J@ thal 10 should resign, and ad-
the Office but in few days changed his
mind and concluded not to resign, and
two years ago ran as an independent
candidate and thus secured the election
of the Democratic candidate. Mr. Ba-
ker has never been considered reliaJle
Republican He was elected township
supervisor last fall, and his course in the
Board has no, always been with the Re
publicans. On the vote to release Mr..
Wam2lcr from the claims against him,
WIN. Mason aud p. Roberts, democrats,
voted with the Republicans against let
ting him off altogether, but Mr. Baker
voted with Mr.. McGill to let the Treas
urer pocket what he could. Did Mr..
Baker pay interest on his taxesO Mr..
Baker was at the Republican Convention
and took an active part. What has turn.
ed him against the Republicans?
Ia5- One of the ways in which some of
the Third Party men hope to succeed in
electing their iavorite, is by telling Re.
publioans that they are going to elect
their whole ticket, while they tell Demo
Gratis that the Third Party don't amount
to anything, and advise thea to vote the
straight out Democratic ticket. Repub
leans, beware Of such men. There is no
prospect, not the least, of clccting the
50 called "Union ticket" but there il
danger tina. it will draw off votes enough
from the Republicans to elec. a portion of
the Democratic ticket. BE assured that
we speak the truth when we say that
there is scarcely man in this township,
who has been considered reliable Re-
publican, that will vote the Third Party
