Wyandot County Republican. [volume] (Upper Sandusky, Ohio) 1869-1903, 1869-04-01

| nOmlnlOuS administrator.
AS will be seen by the exhibit Of
Expenditures there was paid to the
Democratic Union Office, for the
year 1867, the sum of 81, $50 90.
During the same year the Repub-
lican office was paid S457 90. Sub
tracing from each 500 90, received
for publishing the Constitutional
Amendment, and Laws relating
thereto, which was ordered by a
Republican Secretary of State. to be
published in both papers, we wereceived
a total county patronage Of s357,
and the Democratic organ 81 $50.
What in the world our county of
fcials require so many blanks for,
we cannot understand. 1t may be
we have not been in America long
enough to comprehend it. In pc
rusing that part of the Exhibit de-
voted to the bills paid r. D. DUNN,
ESQ, then editor of the Democratic
Union, we find the following items,
which stamp our Democratic officials
as having remarkable capacity for
consuming Blanks Well, here
are the items:
For printing blanks for Auditor,
Treasurer, Sheriff, Probate Judge
and Clerk, SAT GO
Printing 6 q'rs blanks for Assessors, 10 90
9. 1a1z qu!ires blanks 81 top 1ds, Clerk, s5 90

Printing blanks for Coroner, ~ 90
Printing % qrs. summons for Clerks
Office, IS co
Here we have a total paid out of
the county treasury, for blanks, &c.,
of s914 60.
For publishing Tax Notice the
sum of $3.50 was allowed Wepub-
lished the same, for which we were
not allowed one cent. The very i'm
partial Auditor and Commissioners
deciding that it was unnecessary to
publish such notice in republican
paper the republicans ofWyandot
county pay no taxes, and are not,
therefore, entitled to respect!
For publishing Sheriff $ PROCLAIM
alton, 20 squares, the sum Of $50.
was allowed.
Then again for publishing Proc
lalnation of Election the same sum
$50 was paid.
Now we know what the PROCLAIM
alton of Election is. We printed
the same, and was allowed 500 90:
the same magnanimous decision be-
ing made as in the case of the Tax
notice. But we do not know to
what the other Proclamation had
reference to, as there was only one
election in 1867.
In addition to what the Democrat
ic Union receives from the County
Treasury, as shown in the Exhibit,
there is the fat Income of the Sher
ifs Sales, which must amount to
about 81, 500 year Then there is
the City patronage, the Probate
Judges advertising, &C., &c.
| Now we are not envious, nor do
we propose to kick against the
pricks, but cannot help thinking it a
little rough when it is thrown in our
teeth that we do not publish paper
on as grand a scale as our neighbor.
We are willing to do all we can
with the means at our command,
but do think it very unreasonable
when more is required.
And, inasmuch as the electors of
Wyandot county ratify with increas-
ing emphasis, at each succeeding
election, the doings of our officials,
and being ever willing to abide by
the result Of the ballot box, we deem
it unnecessary to find fault as to the,
county expenditures.
