The County Ticket,

There are some Republicans who
will argue that it does not matter much
what are the politics of the county Off
GERS. On general principles, this may
be correct. But there are many excep-
tions to this rule. In the first place,
aud this is of much Importance to us,
the public printing in every county, is
worth large amount TO the local press.
1t is not so much the amount of money
actually received for printing and ad-
vertising, as it is the increased value it
gives to o county paper, to have the
public advertising. A party that de-
sires continued success, must have an
influential county paper. This, ifnoth-
ing else, shouldinduce every Republican
to support his county ticket, unless
there are good and sufficient reasons for
q different course.
We do not claim that Republicans
are all honest There are as great ras-
Gals in the Republican party as there
ever have been in any partyi but this
class is not sustained in Office by the
party. When one such is discovered,
he is at once denounced by the great
BODY of the party. But it is altogeth-
er different with the Democratic party.
When one of them is caught in a deed
of rascaIity in public affairs, he is sus-
tanned by the party. Who ever heard
Democrat say word about the last
Democratic Treasurer of State, John G.
Bresliu, stealing three quarters of a UIil-
lion dollars of the public money!
In this county, there is Democratic
ring of corrupt and rascally Scoundrels,
who have never let an opportunity slip
to plunder the public. This ring al
ways endeavors to get its tools into of
fee. These officers may be strictly
honest, but they must do the bidding
. of the ring. What has been the man
ner in which the public business has
been managed in Jackson county by the
two partiesi Ever since the year 1850,
, the county business has been substan-
: TALLY in the hands of the Republican
party. True, occasionally the Democ.
racy has succeeded in clecting an Off
I Ger here and there; but matters have
: been controlled by the Republicans
J. We challenge any one to examine the
:. records, and all outside of the records
a and we assert that the business has beer
s honestly, economically and prudent!
: managed, and not dollar stolen. How
: was it before that time At the pres
!. ent term Of the Court, judgm snt ha
Q been taken against one of the old Dem
it ocratic Commissioners, for public mon
!. sy which he used more than ten year
10 ago. The judgment is for abou
. $3.50, and the Commissioners, tw
ot years ago, remitted the interest of abou
1t ten years. in order to get it secured
It as this old Democratic COMMISSIONS
l. did not borrow the money in his ow
J. name, but in the name Of his sonin
law, who was, is, and has been, ire
sponSible and worthless.
Twice every year, when the semi-ar
!" ~ nual statement is published, the peopl
" can see reference made to this Boot
y and Braley matter, and to two or thre
" thousand dollars still due, and whic
- never will be paid, that Jacob Westfal
" then Democratic Treasurer, got of th
y peoples money. The eight thousan
2 dollars lost in the Iron Valley matte
- :. does not appear in these published state
r. ments, but it az appears ofpublic recor
:, in this county and IN VintOn county
:. The Democratic county Treasurer, an
= Democratic county Commissioner
:. were partners in bank, and in ful
+ mace, and they loaned themselv'
70 the public money, and from ten
- twelve thousand dollars of it new
:, got back into the treasury, and new
:. will.
!, Tax payers of Jackson county! Th
was yOur money, which you paid in
:. taxes. It's gone. Democratic oficif
-, got it. You will never be paid. !
=. you want to put the ring candidates j
- to Office agAini Ifyou can stand it,
or will try TO do so.
