These are the terms ot the compFoshfse,
to which we are invited to state our Oh
jections. 1t seems to .ti;, bet to State it's
terms is to present the strongest oi,iec-
tions that can be made; b t. [ am not
here to deal in generalites. | slla II pro-
coed at once to point out the specific OBJ
{ectiohs which our clients-Joseph Blake
and over two hundred other tax payers
have to this compromise, first considering
a.Jse which, Of themselves, de net COR.
slider of sufficient tnLortance to avoid ii,
or any other settlement, the first of which
is the "Assignment of $l7,UGO of tuds-
ments to Henry" The people ask, why
Henry instead of to our proper officers in
trust for US? Why is it that We are made
dependent upon his hourt y and good faith
before we can enjoy or be assered Of one
dollar of this deduction? And indeed as
much as this has been told them by the
National Democrat. 1t says:
In the settlement, Mr.. Henry got every
cent allowed that he possibly could, and
these Judgments for $4,000 he succeeded
iii getting allowed and if Ire allows Iowa
cotnty to haze it, it Is simply gift of
$4,000 frons Mr.. Henry 10 Iowa county
and town Of Mineral Point"
Now | am free to COZ TESS that do not
understand what is intended by this state
tnent, Unless it is that Henry all he
could for the people, and after getting
this, he, Henry, would not settle unless.
-Beecher paid him bonus besides and that
Beecher, for the sake of settling, agrees
to-pay Henry this $4,000, not on any
claim he holds against him, but on three
judgments he and others had against the
old M. P. R. R. made Use of the word
bonus because il was too ahSurd tn tb;pl
