nrorition Why he says that you
nav BUR Secretary and Treasurer So
or si0 each, and that your President
and larshal, who labor equally as
bardget nothing, and he cannot see
the 4son of paying some officers a
salar and others nothing. He is per
suada that if we 20 on the principle
that o man should work without pay,
he thinks all should be paid, especially
he rng muster, whose labors are twice
as onrous as the Treasurer, whose re
sponjbility is fully equal. Let US

It Is often the Gse that the secretar,
has no one TO assist him, and the treas
urer performs his every duty unaide'
and alone. But tie great bugbear is
the responsibility IF the ringmaster
coupled with his labprs. Now, l di
not know before that DE position @
rlngmaster was 30 responsible; nor ha
\ Stock holder offered any proof to sus
tain the assertion. always though
all the ringmaster had TO do was
obey the orders of the Board explicit
given, and that when this was done hi
responsibility was at an end But ho'
is 1t with the treasurerA Does not ever
dollar that belongs now, or has belong
ed to the fair, pass through his nand
and Is he not responsible therefor
Has he not been required to collect
receive, aud pay out thousands, Civ
ing and receiving proper vouchers. |
it not often the case, after laborin
hard in the interest of the fair durin
its session, the hour of midnight fine
him still engaged preparing his prem
iums for the ensuing day? Has !
ever fallen short, or failed in a sing
instance TO give strict and correct al
count OF his stewardship has i
ever on any pretext whatever paine
or attempted to palm off one dollar VI
current money on the Association?
it not his duty to pay off premium
awarded, ranging from one to one hun
bred dollars? And has lie not di
charged this duty to the satisfaction
all for six years past? In word, do,
not his responsibility begin when IL
first dollar of the fair comes into h
hands, usually in August, aud eu
when he accounts for the last cent, usI
ally in October, of each year? No
withstanding these things, and other
too tedious TO mention, \ Stock hold,
