gone into the tanner and currier business.
Two years ago he was elected County

ton the then County Board-Fred. Rob-

passed resolution constituting the Keno

county for doing all the official business
of the county not otherwise specially
provided for. This was intended, if
possible, to- cover the official advertising
and other advertising of the County
Treasurer And the Union was not slow
to lay vigorous claim to the advertising
of the County Treasurer. The County
Treasurer, understanding his duties and
knowing that the law had specially
provided for his official printing, brought
it to the TELEGRAPH Office. Then the
Union raised howl against the County
Treasurer for not taking his official print
ing to the office ofthe Union, and claimed
it on account of being the official organ
of the county. The readers of the TELE.

AS County Treasurer, Hugh McDer-

and faithful. The County Convention
have re-nominated him and acted wisely
in doing So And it now remains for
the voters to elect him. Faithful to free

fee, reliable wherever placed, can there
he any doubt about his election? We
think not. But let his many friends rally
to his support and give him majority
equal to their confidence in him.
HENRY w. GREETHAM will probably
be supported by the Democrats as their
candidate for County Treasurer in oppo.
sition to Hugh McDermott. Of him, we
do not like to speak, and shall say but
little. We believe him to have been, till
recently, a Southern man, and with South
principles still. A Democrat of the ultra
kind, opposed to freedom for the slave
and equality of rights for the people.
One good indication is, his coming from
the South to the North and residing
among the lovers Of freedom and equal
rights. Being young and intelligent, he
may out grow the effects of his early ed
Eucation, and leave the sham Democracy
with which he now acts When he be-
comes better acquainted and more in love
with our free institutions it will be time
enough to elect him to Office And until
that time comes, it will be well for him
not to be elected
