Mower County transcript. [volume] (Lansing, Minn.) 1868-1915, 1872-09-19

Two weeks ago VIC devoted some
space to a consideration Of the various
charges which tho Register had made
against Mr.. Page, and then proceeded
to rehearse some portion Of the history,
and few Of the personal characterize
tics Of that weak, envious. AMI coward,
" sheet. Quivering under. the smart
which our lash had produced, and horri-
ned at the spectacle Of its own hidecus
dcformity, as exhibited through the
lens Of truth, tho Register sought
10 escape from itself by Confession
and it says, lit has sustained the "o"''
nees Of it. party, and advocated their
election" That is just what We eharg'
ell you with, Mr.. Regis.er-that you
supported YOUR party and none Other
We now allcdge and the records show,
that them anagrrs ofYOUR party, yo"''
self included, during the last three
years Of your administration, we're CON
SLANT PLUNDERERs OF THE COUNTY
TREASURY; and that from the
chief Of the gang, down. through
whiskey, gambling, and licientiousness,
TO yourself, a nondcscript, you are all
without honor, without truth, without
decency and without shame; made thus
by a studied neglect Of those virtues
which arc indispensable characteristics
of q useful and an honorable life.
Everything else which We charged
against thu Register, it has denied, as
We said that it would do. It denies
that :: it fed upon patronage in any ille-
climate way" aud says that it has
heretofore challenged the TRANSCRIPT
to name, in support Of its insinuations, a
single instance in which the Register
received dime more than was just or
legal for its work for tho county, or
was in any way, party to corruption"
If my such challange was ever made,
it was BET; r. We assumed control of
the TRANSCRIPT, and We refer the
Register to that paper Of date June I'd,
1870, where it is allcdged that in max
in: out ito bill for publishing the "tax
list," the Register made four descrip.
tions Of each quarter section, subdivid-
ing it into forty acre lots, and that it
charged for each As for whole dcscrip.
ton, thereby receiving FOUR PRICES
for the work. Again, the records show.
and the TRANSCRIPT alledgcs, that the
Register received from the county, for
printing, in one year, the sum Of
THREE THOUSAND, TWO HUN.
DRED DOLLARS. 49,,
Everybody knows that in this amount
there il a STEAL Of not less than oNE
THOUSAND DOLLARS.
The Regi.ter says lit denies that it
always applauded their conduct, what
ever it might be. We reply, it never
condemned their conduct, although il
we'll knew their criminality, and VIC say
that the silence Of public journal
under such circumstances is irretrsgable
proof Of its criminal completely.
The Register says it's custom was etc
support the Republican nominees until
they got to nominating men SO notori-
ously corrupt that it could not swallow
them" THAT WAS ITS CUSTOM. and
it supported EVERY REPUBLICAN
MEMBER OF THE RING, as long
rs any one OF them was candidate 70,
Office. When HONEST MEN were nom
mated. the Register could not "swallow
them" No! and it has NOT been able
to swallow any Of them yet. It has NC
stomach for such diet.
Get your filthy crowd together again
and ascertain what you are to say nex'
week.
