Gection. There was Il great fuss made for
some four years past about the iron bridges,
when there was 4 ''divy' for the whole
Ring, and the Ex-LegislatOr and myself
covered it up. Although there has not
been an iron bridge built since, there is no.
thing said about it anymore, and we elected
our Commissioner last fall.
Maj0r.-It was Z risky business. If |
hadn't blutfed OFF some Republicans, by Of
leriDg to bet heavy, think some of those
instead of getting :; ''diry," would have
suffered the penalty Of the law.
En- TuL Collector. The fact is, II con-
slider that insinuation Of the Manager about
stealing the records, against me. Now, /
i want to explain about my duplicates.
IL tore it up to light my pipe with. The
Republican Commissioners brought me in
debt s0mc five or six hundred dollars, and
Il wouldn't stand it, and appealed it to
Court that's all there is about il.
.Hanaqc~.-I wasn't alluding to you.
Democratic officers IN other counties have
stolen as well as in this county, and as
York joins Lebanon l thought Id Just
ineutjon that.
GuudidUte.--I have another matter to
explain. ] have been attacked several
times about this county debt business. Our
friends have complained that during the
Reign of the Ring, as Wi.Ter. calls i, there
wasn't enough money in the treasury TO
pay the orders of iurymen, and they had 10
sell them at discount of 10 per ct. They
we're bought up by our party at specula-
ton. Some of these men could not afford
TO lose the money, as their expenses over
run the amount received, and left them in
debt. They now say that they yet their
pay in iull, and that there is always money
ready TO pay them.
Enthusiastically better not say any
thing about it, as there are only few who
complain, and those who do cannot be pure
Democrats or they would say nothing about
it,
Najor.-Wel, gentlemen, let's adopt 4
plan now 20 defeat the Republican ticket.
We must all so to work in earnest, and ev-
cry man must go out through the county.
Eiitor.-l guess Ill 90 TO Washington
township. can give it to them IN Dutch,
and there is the place to make up big De
mocratic returns If we can't get the Irish
we'll get the Dutch.
CandidotC.-Butw we can't get our princi-
pie German orators to 90 INTO the Maha-
noys.
Nqior.-Can't manage them as easily al
We did some years ago.
Upper End Democrct. Well, gentlemen,
you have driven the Irish away, aid | am
much mistaken if you can deceive the peO-
pie in the Mahanoys any longer. They are
Intelligent down there. and they are also
honest, and viii not readily yield to al
your trickery.
Editor.-Wc must elect our CommiesiO-
ner if we can't elect any other man on the
ticket. We can't do without that Office any
longer 1t WAS always our greatest help,
as we could hide all our transactions in
that Office. Even those land sales the Ame-
ricaa speaks of rs not being on record was
done purposcly. Nobody can refer TO it
now the thing is completely covered up.
F. Collector That matter Of Henry s
duplicate counting short S2i6, is going 70
hurt him. There is no one will believe
that he did not know about it, or he would
not have paid it right away without max
ing Il fuss and they think that such mar
wouldn't make a safe Commissioner. An
other man would have been better.
EHdor.-Wasn't your duplicate short
too?
Er- Collector Well, the fact is IL tore
it up before it was examined, but the Com
missioncrs want TO make i: appear that |
do owe the county.
Er- Leqislutor.-If we cannot agree tOGe-
ther here, we had better adjourn to meet
some other time.
