THE charge Of the Messenger in
regard to the moral character of our
candidate for Senator having been
proven false, it last week made a
great ado about defalcation,
which it charged upon him, giving
the affidavit of one, Lee Whitmore,
to sustain the allegation. But Whit
more does not acknowledge the mat
ter stated in that affidavit, and this
week axes oath that ne never in
tended to swear to any such state
ment; that he was deceived in re-
gard to what the affidavit contained I;
and besides him the old trustees,
with whom Mr.. Luckey settled, pos
itively disavow any knowledge of
any defalcation, and that Mr.. Luck
ey's accounts were promptly settled.

DEMOCRATIC papers are crying out
for the people to rally and elect a
Democratic Legislature in order
that they may have reform. Between
the years 1852 and 1855 while the
State was under Democratic rule,
the State taxes rose from $1,776, ,587
to $2,7548O7, or nearly million
dollars in three years. Again, in
1867, the Democracy obtained ma
jority in both branchas Of the Leg
islature, and the result was that dur

power, taxes in the State rose ST.

They had received a postal card in

they went, but found it dry picking,
so they came home chop-falleD.
Their mine had given out, and
could no longer be worked.

Consistency.

When Recorder Stlne, whom every
one recognized as an excellent Off
Ger, every way qualified for the po-
sition, was a candidate for re-1omi-
nation, the charge against him was
that he had served two terms and
was not entitled to a third. Yet the
same Democracy turned right about
and re nominated Jerry Evans for
Surveyor, who had served half q
term as an appOintee and three terms
for which he was elected; and this
too by defeating . worthy man for
the same position. Democrats who
believe in the two term rule, what
think You of this effort to force a
man upon you for four terms and 8
