Subscribed and sworn to before me this I'D
day Of September, 1879. In testimony, ,whereol
80. have hereto set my hand and sf-
shAI fixed my ofncial seal at my ONCE
In Jefferson City. the day last 1boys written.
Notary Public for Cole county, No.
Now, Mr.. Editor, you viii see that the frst
trip Mr.. Crockett made he charged So miles the
round trip, SIS miles each way. This, Crockett
says, Ii correct, according to his memorandum
trips he makes be charges 6.s miles the round
TRIP, 20 miles each trip more than he charged on
bis irst trip; and Il Crockett has moved 10 miles
MAXI The SEQUEL Crockett tells from his book
how far he charges mileage Tor ON the first trip,
but he takes good care not to tell how far he
s sao I so. on no das sh Ss1eI or sri II I, t doss. ny, C iSr soms
reason or other best known to himself, fails TO
tell the people that he has removed ten miles
further on ffom Jefferson City than when he was
nrst elected. Again: Crockett chxrges SIX
days for the round trip, each nip ut five dol
lars per day, when the members from Holt and
Nodaway county only charged four days for each
trip. But NJ. Crockett says each member wss
allowed one extra day that lived away from the
railroad. Now, mark the sequel again. Rob
!nson, from Holt county, l am informed, lives
seven miles from the railroad, and Crockett
lives eight miles, and ut the same time Crock
cit receives Que extra dry each way aud Robin
son does not; and the former member, Davis,
lives five MILES from the depot, and receives pay
for only two days each way: You see, Mr..
Crockett's again fall to the ground,
for Records win not lie. Now, II Mr.. Crockett
can explain to the voters OF andrew county these
discrepancies, why, sir, they would like to have
him do SO. And again: You will see that Crock
EFT received mileage for 1I6 miles more than the
member dbl from lilo tcOunty, on each trip hut
one, and "a miles each trip but one more than
the membe from NodaWay county; 90 miles
each trip but one more than the member did
the " winters he was there with . Liberal Leg
islature e5OS 90 more than Davis received 1t the
2Sth General Assembly with q Republican Legis-
lature. And the Republican Legislature was In
session 1913 days, while the Liberal Legislature
was in session 30 days-a difference OF - days

While YOU voted to pay yourself mileage for your
Chrirtmss trip, Adams, of Gentry county, had
