THE RADICAL CANDIDATE FOR
JUDGE.

Truth IS severe /" many instances, and
facts are such stubborn things that our
neighbor never attempts 70 meet them
with but one argument" maliciou. |i-."
So universally is this argument used by
the Journal to combat truth, tina, we have
no doubt but they have thu phrase s,ere-
o'yr-d or keep it constantly in type in
their office.
The preamble and resolution which we
published in our is.u. Of tn. % ultmo,
relative to the radical candidate for judge
i" this district, we gave to The public for
The reaso" that, in our opinion, justice to
an enlightened ana homes: people de-
m.nded 1t.
We have never said that such preamble
and resolution were "passed by The board
Of S"pervisors Of Harrison county, as
charged by our "eighhor; bu, we did say,
and no~ 'epeat it, tina. the preamble and
resolution form IA par. Of the proc"-d-
'nss of the Board OF Supervisors
OF Harrison county, Iowa, at their
late September session. aud this the
Journal does. not deny. neither does its
quotation from the Harrison County Star
deny H.; but that very q"o:,,ion being
from Mr.. Ford's own mou'hpiece -cleArly
proves that these charges Of fraud and
corruption in connection with the Swamp
Land Funds of Harrison codnty d. exist
against Mr., Ford.
Now. the Snuff ny and argument ina
iicous lie Of thu Journal is MT very Pr
tent in this transaction. The facts IN This
matter are conce lied by the Journul AM
Star, aud concealed for political purposes,
as . statement Of the case will clearly
show.
This preamble and resolution was pre-
s-n,ed before The Board Of S 'perv'sors OF
Harrison county. aid was there d,>cussed,
aud lis passage favored bv a ma jr,ty of
the Board; but the radica, members o.
the Board at once sc, up the cry OF polit.
zeal persecution. This charge wa, r-pu
dated by the honest members Of tn.
Board, who formed a ma GRITTY thereof,
by at once disclaiming any such inten-
ton, and further saying that they were
wiling to give Mr.. Ford all the la;itu!.
they could consistent with their duty as
the protector, Of the public funds. They
had given him from June to September,
aud he had tailed to give them sat'si,c-
tim. They desired to stand before the
peopl- as faith al puhIic servants, bat not
~ the persecu'ors Of any man; and to
show the good ini'h with which they were
actuated, thu ma mi y Of the B 'ard COM
sented tina, the preamble aud re-oIu,,on
should stand over uulil after election,
aud .; The first meeting after election
they should insist upon us passage unless
the necessary inform i,ion WAS ior,hcom-
ing 10 this tn. radical mrm,ers as
