during Judge Haley's term of Office
the law provided for no such officers
as County Commissioners, and it
was the duty of the County Judge
to receive the books of the Treas
urer's going out of Office and see
that they were correct. Upon his
examination before the new Board,
Judge Haley did not claim that he
had examined the books Of the out
going Treasurer, VIM. Haley, his
son; but in response to inquiries
said he supposed they were all
right, aud so received them, al
though it was his s,c0rn dtty to
see and know that the peoples
money had not been tampered with,
and that every cent due the people
should be handed over to the in
coming Treasurer. IfJudge Haley
knew of the defalcation at the time
the books were surrendered and the
accounts adjusted by him, then he
is as guilty as the Treasurer; if he
did not know of this defalcation of
$4,000 until subsequently,. he GER
talnly was q very lax officer, aud
held his sacred oath and his duty to
the peop'e as Of little worth; but il
it be true that after the discovery
! was made that defalcation Of
$1,000, clearly traceable to his son,
had been made under his own eyes,
land tile Records afford undeniab'e
proot-they speak tor themselves),
he then, 10 cover up the crime,
charges the county with the full
amount of the indebtedness to the
School Fund, does he not, in the
eyes of the mora! law, if not OF the
arute law, become responsible for
the entire defalcation? When that
entry was made by Judge Haley
did he not commit fraud against
the people Of Linz county? Did he
not by this act prove himself un.
worthy Of trust in any position Of
honor or profit at the hands of this
peope, and will not the taxpayers
of Linn county 50 decide at the
polls on Monday next? We are
confident OF the answer.

Don't be Deceived.

We ask the honest taxpayers OF
Linn county to look at the way
county affairs have been managed
during the past years, while under
Democratic rule; to look at the
partiality shown; to examine the
charge that some sections OF the
county have been favored to the
neglect aud injury Of Others ; to
consider the enormous amounts II
money raised taken from your
pockets) by taxation, during the
time under consideration, and yet
the county gets deeper in debt and
the tax levy continues to advance.
Consider the solemn pledges of "re-
form and retrenchment" made by
the Democratic nominees in the past,
and call to mind if yon can single
tulfillment of those pledges. And
although the present candidates OF
that party are making the canvass
on the same promises y in the light
Of the past can you again trust them
to make good these pledges after
tie first doy Of JpAe, should they
prove successful? Assured OF their
record made in the past in the hand
ling the county funds, and knowing
that to elect the candidates of the
ring will he simply endorsing its
past official acts, how can you as
Sert with any consistency that you
are in favor Of All honest and eco
nomical administration Of county
affairs il you vote to retain the ring
in power? Upon your vote OH
Monday next depends the rate OF
taxation the coming two years. If
the independent ticket is elected,
taxes will be greatly reduced if
the ring ticket is successful, the tax
rate, Judging from the past, will
not be decreased, but is more likely
to be largely. increased. 1t resolves
itself into question OF dollars and
cents, 1t appeals directly to the
pockets Of the taxpayer. Let every
taxpayer consider this matter well,
and after a careful survey Of the
situation, vote as his conscience
shall dictate.

Independent candidate for Prose-
cutting Attorney for this District,
made personal effort to secure the
nomination for the office to which
he now aspires at the hands Of the
Democratic State Convention-that
he wrote letters to Democratic dele
gates to said Convention asking
their influence to secure such noml-
nation. When Mr.. Gilfrey, the
editor OF the Nerrmy, was ap-
preached by Mr.. Ford, and asked
for his authority for the statement,
Gilfrey said that llr. Galloway
and Mr.. Ramp were the men to
whom be (Ford) wrote letters, So
letting their influence. Mr.. ford
then went to these gentlemen and
asked them to show him the letters,
it such they had, making such solicit
tatious. They were surprised
said they had received no letters Of
that character. And at Mr.. Ford's
suggestion, each wrote a specific
denial that they ever received any
such letters, or made any statement
that they had received them. VIM.
Galloway statement is as follows:
DAYTON. May 22d. 1874.
TILMAN FORD. ESQ:
have never received any letter from
you soliciting the nomination tor
Prosecuting Attorney in the Demo-
cratic State Convention, neither have
made such statement,
Respectfully,
WIN. GALLOWAY.
Mr.. B. II, Ramp writes, nnder
date of Brooks, May llth, 1874,
making substantially the same state
meut. These two gentlemen were
the authorities given by Mr.. Gilfrey
for the charges made III the 1Ner-
cery, and these'two only, and both
of them distinctly and unequivo-
cally deny that they ever received
any such solicitation, or that they
ever stated that they had. Mr.
| Ford did not solicit such nomina-
tion; Oh the contrary, when So
licited by Bill WatkindS Of Salem
to become a candidate for such
nomination, he distinctly told him
he would not have it--that he was
not candidate for any office. So
far as this charge is concerned it
falls to the ground. Mr.. Ford
graduated with honor in the Will
lanette University IN the class Of
1870; was admitted to the bar in
1872, and has made good record
since that time as all efficient,
capable, painstakihg lawyer. One
notable TACT i, and it speaks well
for his thoroughness as a lawyer.
he has never had q case demurred

Not a Success as Temperance Can
didate.

Mr.. Whitney, Democratic candi-
date for Prosecuting Attorney, has
made a complete failure during the
canvass, not only in convincing the
taxpayers that he is not competent
for the position, but that he is
reliable temperance man. This was
stated as his strong suit when nom-
mated, and the temperance people
were certain to vote him. The
citizens of Scio are well aware now,
at least, that his temperance pnrci-
pies will not do to tie to. Imme-
diately after the discussion at that
place recently, he went into one Of
the saloons there, and stood the
drinks for the crowd. At how
many other places be done the same
thing we are not informed; neither
do we care; this one instance is
sufficient to show that, if he would
break his solemn Obligation as a
Good Templar, to which order he
belongs, he cannot be depended
upon to keep any obligation, no
matter how binding it may be. The
taxpayers of this judicial District
want no such man for Prosecuting
Attorney.

A WORD IN RELATION TO COUNTY
AFFAIRS.

tratlon in Linn county turned over
the control of affairs to the Repub-
lican officers elect in 1862, they left
a debt OF $500. From 1862 to
1866 Republican officials ran the
county. During the four years of
their control they built the present
Court House--at that time probably
the finest public building in the
State-at a cost ofS30,0 900. This,
with the debt OF $3,5 500 bequeathed
them by the Democracy, made a
total debt OF $33,500. At the ex-
piration OF four years, the Democ-
racy again took charge of the
county Offices, when the debt Of the
county was about $4,000, the Re-
publican officials having paid, dur
ing the four years in which they
were in power, the $500 debt lett
by the Democracy, with interest on
same, and $4,000 OF the Court
House debt. During the 4 years,
from 1862 to 1866, the tax levy
was from 8 to II mills, with the
exception Of the last year, when it
was raised to 12t mills. During
the four years under consideration,
nearly all OF the costly county
bridges, those over the Calipooia
notably, were erected, costing as
high as 81, 200 for a sigle bridge;
and those bridges, although built
eight or ten years ago, still stand,
showing that there was no "shoddy"
work or put up jobs, but the work
done for the county was well and
honestly executed But what has
been the record OF the Democratic
party all these years since then?
Has not the rate OF taxation been
increased from year to year, until
now it is almost double the rate
then? Is there not nearly or quite
double the amount of taxable prop
erty in the county that there was
then, and is not the assessed value
of said taxable property more than
double the assessed value then? If
these are trnths-and none
can gainsay them-how is it
after eight years at least
of Democratic rule, the county
debt has not decreased one cent,
but in all probability, it the facts
could be, ,ascertained. has increased !?
Now the county receives sbuot
100000 q year for revenue, and yet
! the county debt is not liquidated.
Twelve years ago, under different
administration, with q county reve-
nue. of probably, in round numbers,
$50, 900, the county debt vas liqui-
dated at the rate of nearly five
thousand dollars a year, --and that,
too, on an average tax levy of less
than II mills per annum But we
need not further comment on this
matter. The facts above stated
show that to insure the lowering Of
taxation, the payment ofthe county
Indebtedness, and the practice Of
general economy and retrenchment
in county affairs, new set Of
officials must be elected--men who
are not bound in party fetters, and
who will not attempt to cover up
the mismanagement and reckless
extravaganza Of their predecessors
because those predecessors belonged
to the same party. The People,
the taxpayers Of Old Linn, who are

A Little County History-..That g..
600 Matter.

In 1849, after he had been in Office
one year, 70 make his books bal
ance, he charged the county with
about 5000 indebtedness to the
school fund. In 1860, upon retir-
ing from the Office of Treasurer, to
make his accounts balance, VIM.
Haley again makes an entry charg-
ing the county with about 81, 100
indebtedness to the school fund--a
total of $4,000. This was the fig
IRE, three thousand dollars, which
the county fund tell short while
VIM. Haley he'd the Office Of Treas
urer Of Linn county, This matter
Of the deficiency Of $4,000 was left
unsettled until the last Of June or
first Of July, 1862, Just before the
new officers elected by the Union
Republican party, ]. c. Powell,
County Judge J. Hamilton and
0. w. Richardson, county Com
missioners, and Mr.. Walters, Treas
urer, were installed into office. A
day or two prior to vacating his
Z Office, Judge Haley, the father Of
VIM. Haley, the County Treasurer
under whom this deficiency Of three
thousand dollars had occurred, and
who had held the Office of County
Judge during all these years, and
whose duty it was to see that the
accounts OF the Treasurer were cor
rect (as up to 1862 there were no
such officers known as County Com
miss oners), drew an order on the
county ytreasuryin favor OF the school
fund for the sum Of $4,000! And
this was, apparently, the last official
act of the worthy County Judge,
S. D. Haley-the very last entry
made in the book, as any may see
wlloiteels ahintereSt III the matter,
or doubts this statement, by calling
at the County Clerks office. When
the newly elected officers above
named had qualified aud took their
seats OF office, and turned their at
tention to the affairs of the county,
with the mort diligent and exhaust
i've search theywere unable Y find
any entry on VIM. Ilaley's books
showing that any money had been
borrowed ot the School Fund, or
any other fund for the county; and
more than ibis, they could not
find any record or entry, on any OF
the county's books to show that
the said $4,000 or any part thereof
had been borrowed from any source
The County Board then sent Tor
Judge Haley, and when questioned
as 10 how the county became IN
debted to the School Fund III the
sum of S3,O00, she could give no
account Of it whatever-he said be
had no knowledge that any money
had been borrowed for the use OF
the county from the said School
Fund. The Couaty Board then,
as in duty bound, determined that
the securities Of VIM. Haley should
account fOr the loss Of the $4,000 to
the county, but It was soon found
that the county had no recourse, as
the bonds of VIM. Haley, as County
Treasurer, could not be found. This
is, in as briet a manner as we can
give it.. the truth in regard 70 the
