THE Gazette tries hard to make the peo-
pie of the county believe that they still pay
State tax. II il not true, They still pay
a heavy tax because copperhead extrava-
gance got the county in debt and they are
now taxing as heavily to pay it off The
Legislature abolished all land taxes and now
COLLECTS its revenue from taxes on banks, rail-
roads, and other moneYed corporations.

CoPPERHEAD papers at present have a
strong Odor of the FISH market. Billings

wide margin. Having no arguments to ad-

MODERN Democracy has no principle, ha-
tired to Republieanism and opposition to
whatever Republicans do comprises its
whole aim. Republicanism pays off debts
and Democracy insists upon nearing debts.
Republicanism insists upon retrenchment
and reform and Democracy persists in ex-
uavagant expenditure and corruption.

are circulating the most infamous falsehoods
in regard to Gov. Geary. Among the most
aagrant is the pardon of Cain Norris, who
was convicted Of a most henious crime and
sentenced to IS years Imprisonment. He
has not been pardoned nor is he likely to
be, bus Is serving his time out and is not
