he used language which som g
of his enemies have endeavored
to torture into a declaration of
that kind.

don't know how he did vote,
and we doubt whether anybody
else does; but we do know that
he professed to have voted for
Holland, and we know that he
threw cold water on George
Cooks chances, and worked in
directly against his election.
This he had a right to do, but
having done so he ought 10
stand the responsibility like a
man, not 60 stopping about
with water on both shoulders
But that would be an i'm.
/. possibility with Claypoole. He
has been trimming his sails for
first one Office and then anoth
OF so constantly that he has nc
pOsiiye opinion on any sub
ject. Hs thinks people are
such eggregious feo,s that they
can't see through s2ch thir
subterfuges.
The Vinton record. [volume] (M'arthur, Vinton County, Ohio) 1866-1891, 1873-04-03

EVERY taxpayer should re-
member that without the ap.
proval of Mr.. Claypoole, the
Infrmsry contract, by which
the building of the Infirmary
was let to the highest, instead
OF the lOaoest bidder, could not
have been fastened upon the
people of the county. AS
Prosecuting Attorney it was
his duty to approve or disap-
prove the contract. He took
sides with the ring and let the
contract for a thousand dollars
more than the figures of the
lowest bid, and all the bids, no
doubt, made in the interests of
the same person.
Mr.. Claypoole, nor any other
member Of the ring, has ever
attempted to deny or refute the
facts which we have been
pressing upon them for the
past two months in regard to
the Infrmary-that the people
wers swindled by the ring, and
no attempt was made to let the
contratct in the interests OF
the people. Not one word
have they to say In defense;
it is too bold and bare faced to
admit of argument. Tax-pay-
erS, remember that Mr.. Clay
poole, as Prosecuting Attor
ney, fastened this ten thousand
dollar grab upon you and upon
the duplicate, for you to pay,
that the ring might still
further feast on your toll. You
have a chance next Monday to
repay Mr.. Claypoole tor his
faiihlessness to your interests
Vote for Wells.
