Editars Favstts COuniy Herald;
A considerable amount Of wire.working
iS going on now in our sOlnty among the
1ndependentS--aa they eall themselves
and a great effort is being made secretly
to accomplish the defeat Ufthe Republican
nominees. particularly the nominated cans
didstes for the LEGAL offices. They tthv
Independently are fully aware that they
will not carry the full strength Of the De,
mOeraey, for many ofthem are too wary
to allow themselves to be entrapped in
this manner, and they are necessarily
driven to the point Of Infamous lying, hop.
ing thereby to gather in their doubtful
friende, which, we ara happy to say, will
result In an utter tailure. These fellows,
diSguised In the Rarb Of Independent,
herAld their elaims Of "qnalifieation"
throughout the rank and file Of Of the Re.
publican and Democratic partiea, and en-
deAvor to create all the interest and zeal
possiblein their individual favor. They
don't want the people TO vote from choice,
but wish them TO pay profound respect and
regard TO their hired servants who seek TO
drum them into the service of the particd-
lar and selfish aim Ofthsir masters. They
are pervaded with the spirit Of trickery to
. deplOrable extent. Now to our point.
The moat outrageous example Of Valor-
Gus presumption that has ever been known,
10 the presumption the Independent Clique
have had, TO put in circulation the report
that there is an alarming discrepancy on
the books of the Auditor and Treasurer,
and that they (said Auditor and Treasur-
er) have been and are still unable to agree
and make settlement. This audaeiouS
assertion we deny and pronounce UNQUALI-
FIEDLY FALSE, and challenge the oirculatOrs
thereof to proof. This unparalleled piece
Of braEen impudenee 10 being extensively
carried on by the friends Of the Independ-
ent candidate for the office of Auditor -
This is an electioneering scheme, and is
being practised diffusedly upon the honest
voters of Fayette county, and it should be
denounced, rebuked and repudiated wher.
ever and whenever it is resorted to. II is
simply sham to satiate the avariciouR APP
Petite-Of an aspirant wishing to get grab
at the public treasury, no is fully aware
pf the fact that were he to come out fairly
and squarelY for the position he seeks, he
wouldn't have shadow Of hope Of sue
cess.
We desire to inform the voters Of Fayette
county, without party distinction, that
there 10 no disagreement in the books of
Mr.. MoCAndlesS and Col. ohnson; that
they HAVE made their settlement, and that,
TOO, without outside assistance; and that
This scandalous averment is entirely with
Dut foundation. We have cognizance Of
what we declare. and can prove what we
ray to be incontrovertible facts.
II there is single voter in Fayette
,ounty who is disposed to distr.dit US, We
most respectfully refer him to the books of
The pretent incumbent of the Auditors
Office. We have seen them, and are satis-
fed that they are correct to the letter, and
hat no "NGturaI Auditor" can keep them
better. They are open to the inspection
# any person.
Voters, satisfy yourselves that we have
pOken the unvarnished truth in this mat
or, and then on the 18th of October 20 to
he polls, and by your ballots show these
gentlemen who are seeking
3 embrOil turbulence in your midst that
heir day has had an ingloriOus end, and
hat you purpose acting judiOiouslY your
elves. and make concession ofthS same to
our friends, ONE PosFED.
