already to over thirty thousand dollars
| aside from the heavy claims which are
still to come in before the close of this
year, and aside from what we have to pay
| every year to make geod all the illegal
taxcerti6cates, made illegal by the double
charge of advertising fees. and to provide
for the current expenses of the year t.
come. The natural consequence of this
maladmlnistration i ha our Comfy or
der vary in value from Is to go cts, on
the dollar, a average Of discount of 20
cents which of course is added to every
account presented and thus increases our
taxes to that amount without any benefit
to hardly any ona.
We feel highly tratified therefor. that
the Republicans Of the severa. Dis
trcts OF our County have nominated men
for County Supervisors who are in every
respect fully qualified to perform their
duties with honor 10 themselves and to
| the great pecuniarys bercsit Of their con-
stltuentS. Our supervisor at large, Mr.
Armsby has no superior in this County
for the enviable reputation OF being a
man OF the highest qualifications and
strictest honesty and integrity. The
opponents on the Democratic ticket are
unknown to us with tie exception of Mr..
Pankrantz, whom we believe to be well
meaning, honest man. but not to be com
pared in point of qualification and capa-
bility to our own candidate; we have
therefor every reason to believe that our
next election canvass will show = good
majority for the Republican County Su-
pervisors, and for the same causes also
for our members of Assembly, who are
men of experience all having held impor-
tant Offices and two of them having al
ready served several terms in former Leg
islatures Of bur State. Their legislative
experience will enable them to more ef-
feetually work for the interests of TIL If
constituents. while their opponents on
the Democratic side are entirely ignorant
and unfit for any such position. In regard
to our candidate for County School Su-
perlntendent we believe, that there is not
an office within the gift of the people of
this County, where qualifications and Jst-
ness were sought after with moresingle-
ness of purpose than in clectine Mr.. Can
right, who was nominated without one
dissenting voice ; the duties of this Office
are not new and untried to the candidate,
as he has acted in that capacity before
IN this county, besides nanny years as
teacher in the school-ycom, so that his op-
portunlties have been peculiarly dapted
to fit him for this position. We conerat-
ulatc our people in having such man at
the head of the educational interests of
our County, which have so long and so
wofully been neglected, and cannot be-
leve that any petty personal interests
will be allowed to endanger his election.
We expect for him a fattering majority.
In thus recommending our candidates
to the electors OF this county, we do not
pretend to say that the Candidates NOM
mated at the Republican Conventions are
the only good men that could be found to
represent the County, but we do claim
that the ticket is one that secures the
confidence of our people, while it repre-
re tno,r
all classes of property and tax.payers.-
The moral integrity and personal worth
of the candidates is guarantee of their
faithfulness in the discharge of the i'm
portant trusts that may be committed to
their hands.
There are but two tickets in the field,
tho electors of this County have only to
choose whether they are in favor of Re-
publican principles, of reforming the
democratic maladministration of our
County affairs and retrenching the enor-
nous expenses, or of Democracy, con-
servatism and the continuance and con-
stant increase of our County Taxes and
still more ruinous administration of the
best interests of our County.
We hope and trust that the votes OF
the electors of this County and of every
other County in our State will be given
for the canuldates OF the Republican par
ty. because we believe, that the future
action OF these men as State officers, a.
| members of the Legislature, as County
Commissioners or as County officers in
any capacity, will fully meet the highest
expectations and appreciation of the peo-
| pie Of our State and our County.
