ter of the Harrison county ticket and
claimed that your paper was Bing
hams home organ, and therefore hi
mouth picc, and that the whole Unior
organization was cheat and fraud
'to catch gudgeons.' The result was
that Bingham was beaten by some
2300 votes. Belmont and Tuscarawas
counties, which we had carried the
year befor by small majorities went
against us--Belmont by some 1000
and Tuscarawas by some 100, ant
even in Harrison our majority was re
daced to less than 200. The fact was
that nobody but such as were or had
been Republicans voted for him.
Now could any friend of Binghams,
with the light, you had before you,
occupying the relation and position
you did (the Editor of newspaper in
Bingham's own county, in a doubtful
district, make such q blunder? No,
Sir; you were and are NO FRIEND of
his. You are his secret enemy and
need not try to lie out of it. The
people of Harrison county and the
District know and feel it.
You say Bingham did not get you
to Office. My information
was otherwise. The people of Harri-
son county will be glad to hear that such
amonkey was not appointed to office
through Bingham's Influence. You

DID SKIN THEM. That's exactly what
said and am glad that you admit it.
But [ did not help you and got no

But let us come to the great ques-
ion of your "Frauds on the County
Treasury" You say make the amount
GREATER than it should be. and charge
ne with lying. about the matter. I
make the amount for last year $600,55.
Is not this the true amount? Look
over your account and see, and if there
s any error, point it out and I will be
pleased to correct. Rascal and dis
honest as you are I will do you Justice.
In looking over the statement I made
'ut and published, 1 notice through
