REPUBLICANS,

We call your special attention
to the ticket this Fall, and in
vlte the most rigid personal
criticism on It's merits. From
top to bottom the men all stand
No. l for ability and personal
integrity. We also ask your
attention to the large number
of important offices 10 fill
fifteen IN all. On you depends
the result of the election next
Tuesday, 18th inst. In the
State and in the District we
are in the majority, but that
majority can only be depend
ed upon when each individual
Republican does his duty. In
the county, honest Democrats
are disgusted with the master
ship of the Ring, and tired of
paying taxes to be gobbled up
by them Tor high priced poor
farms, palatial in6rmaries and
monster covered bridges across
dry runs, and hollows where
there never was a run of any
kind, to reward favorites and
supposed "infuential workers.
for the Ring. They are tired
Of this and will vote for a
change, but their votes will be
of no avail unless the full Re-
publican vote is polled. The
danger in the county this year
is not that the Democrats will
blindly uphold nominations
which they confess are unwor-
thy. The only hope of the Court
House ring is in the supposed
apathy of the Republicans -
The rank and file of the De
mocracy are determined to
shake them of, and they have
a right to expect the most &C
tive co operation of the Re
publicans 10 that end. Let
every Republican vote, and let
him take the pains to see that
his neighbors vote also.

Common Pleas Judge.

Major Thomas Cherringtun
is the Republican candidate
for Common Pleas Judge. He
is a gentleman we'll qualified
for the position, firm and con-
scientious in all his acts, hard
student and learned in the law,
and is considered by those who
are best qualified to judge as
the best available man in the
district for Tho pos'tion"-For
'kns wledge of the law and in.
tegrlty of purpose he Is all that
the people could ask. In addi-
ton to this, his record is clear
and patriotic. He left college
and Joined the army as a pri
yate, serving as such until he
had fairly earned his promotion.
This, while his competitor, Por-
ter DuHadway, Was carrying a
white flag with a turtle dove
engraved upon it to Vallandig
ham meetings, and crying for
Peace at any price"-a peace
which meant an unconditional
surrender of the nation TO the
rebels on their own terms, and
An utter dissolution of the
Union. Yet we have been told
that & considerable number of
the Republicans of Vinton
county are going back on Maj.
CherriDgton. We did not be-
lieve it, and our inquiries have
confirmed our belief. II is
their same old game OF brag
on which they tried to carry
Greeley through last year.
Major Cherrington will be
elected at any rate, but the
Republicans of Vinton county
cannot afford to prove false to
such a man with such a COM
petitor; for, politics and the
war record of the two men all
aside, Major Cherrington, on
his personal character, sobri-
ETY., integrity and knowledge
of the law, lar outstrips his
competitor. The district IS
overwhelmingly Republican,
but let each individual do his
duty, without presuming on
majoritles.

Treasury rs skinned

Tax. Eaters
Ring.
Plain Facts For
Plain People !

After eight months labor the noun
tain he's brought forth mouse, Ever
since the latter part Of last January
we have been trying to get the Enquir
er to eome to the defense of Auditor
Belfod and the Ring in the lnfrmary
swiHjle, as represented in the letting
Of the contract. Over eight months
we have been digging away at them,
and not until now. the last week be-
fore the election, when they are driven
to it by inquiries Of Democratic tax>
payers who don't like to be skinned
out of their money, do they attempt an
explanation, and then they devote
column to saying we are a fool and a
liar, and a beggarly three inches of
space to the real matter under consid'
Grafton.
The article is a general denial Tin
which unfortunately for them creepS a
partial acknowledgment of what we
!. have charged. Now, if this thing ad>
mitted of such a general and emphatic
denial why did it take them eight
months to frame their answer
But we will take the points up in or
der as they are stated. "tirst," says the
Enquirer, "the notice was legally and
properly drawn" We say it was not
"Second, Belford did not draw it. "
Why need Mr.. Bedford deny the draw
ing of it if it was legally and properly
drawn. But here is the advertisement,
word for word, letter for letter, as it
appeared; let 1t speak for itself 1t hes
Mr. Belfords name to it, and we are
not prepared to say whCthcr the "best
Auditor Viuton county ever had" is
compelled to have some outside person
draw 50 simple thingas an advertise
ment for him; but whether he drew il
himself or permitted the Ring to do il
for him, it was his duty to do it. MOI
can he shift any of the responsibility
onto the shoulders of the Commission
ers, as his friends are trying to do tC
Patrick Kelly's disadvantage, for the
law prescribes what he shall DO, and
the Commissioners have no power tC
make him do an illegal act. But here
is the advertisement:
Notice Of Intention to Erect Infrmary
Building,

G w. Pitcher. .."."""....."... S,9S9
I.eander Sprague..".... ......."- S,993
o. w. Gilman,.......,...."......" 9,945
The contract was let to MIR. o. w.
Gilman, and if he isn't the highest
bidder, and if his bid isn't 1910 more
than Mr.. Iimmerman's, there is no
truth in figures,
Sixth saws that the contract "was
let to the lowest bidder who complied
with the requirements Of the law In
giving .bond and security for the
faithful performance thereof" That
l. lust where the clovcn foat Is shown.
and where the ring managed TO make
their grab. The advertisement should
have r, Quired security to be filed with
the bids, and that would have driven
out "sttaw bidders" We have here
tofore explained how Mr.. Sprague
was prepared to give bond on his bid.
but "saw it was no use and thought
lie wouldn't make fuss about 1t, Us
Gilman would get it any way !"
Now for the other two. They are
employees of Mr.. Gilman. ard it is
generally believed and acknowledged
that they were bidding for him, and
that if Mr. s b. UllOm. John Dye, or
any other builder in Vinton county,
or elsewhere, hal put In bid at q
a sum above Mr.. Zimmerman's bid
and below Mr.. Gilman, Mr.. G wGuld
have stepped in, given security and
taken the job for Mr.. at his figures
and so. il the bid had been above Mr..
Pitchers. he would have stepped in
aud furnished security for him and
taken the contract at his figures. ln-
deed, Mr.. UllOm was solicited to bid,
but replied in effect that he would
not bid against such combination.
Now, none of this matter Is new tn
onr readers. We recitcd every fact
over eight months ago. and from
time to time since have demanded an
explanation, but rot one word or hint
has the Enquirer ever made in reply.
until this week it undertakes to make
a general denial, How successful its
denial has been the public may Judge.
But it goes further and discovers
tha' we are actuated in making these
tAo'l''SUIts DN uNSllt w SNb bhS
Auditors printing. We might retort
by saving that the Enquirer was ac-
tuated in its defense by the hope of
retaining g the auditors printing, but
those who know anything of the
matter know that the law requires
most of the Auditors advertisements
to be published in both papers. and
chat is the way we came to publish
the Inflrmary advertisement. But
we didn't play Thurman's salary
game of laying still until the mis-
chief was all done, and then kick up
a fuss about it. We tried 20 save MIR.
Belford from the position in which
he is now placed. and save the people
their money, and exposed the ille-
gality and unfairness of his action
before it was cOnsummatcd or out OF
his hands; when he could have with
drawn the whole matter. lie chose
not to do soto favor the ring
against the people, with his eyes open
and now let him abide the conse-
quences.

An Opinion Worthy of Atuens
tiOn and Respect.

Judge Johnson, of Lawrence
county, than whom perhaps
there is no man in the District
better qualified to judge, and
whose opinion will have more
weight with the people of both
parties, says of Major Thomas
Cherrington, that he regards
him as tie best available timber
an the District for Common
Pleas Judge. Major CHEERING
ton has but a limited personal
acquaintance In onr county,
and we desire to place Judge
Johnson's opinion against the
statements of the curb-sione
politicians who are trying TO
bolster up Du Hallway by in
sinustions against Cheering
tons ability.
