Suppressing andIiding Public Records;
Suppose bad man has designs upon an
innocent girl and he procures the necessary
license for marriage, but pays the county
clerk S. to keep the issuing of the license
private, or by any other iuducement makes
tool of the clerk to hide efom the public
a record the public has right to see?
What should be said Of such clerk?
Placed in Office to impartially and honestly
manner that all can see them when
necessary, suppose he connives with a
rascal to cheat the public, what position
does that place the clerk in? Or suppose
he conuives with an honest man and with
no wrong intent in the matter, does that
better the case? Instead of an impartial
public officer he becomes a mere tool, and
uses his office against public interests.
Mr. Cook wears too small hat, and runs
on too narrow guage. He must learn
that he is not to connive with anybody, but
| that ne Is I'd treat ali alike.
We remember several cases, when Mai.
Beardslcy was clerk, in which he had
made pencil memorandum on the regis
ter of licenses issued as follows: Re
quest not to publish" The Major would
say, That is the request of the party pro-
curing the license, but OF course you have
a right to do as you please The record is
a public one,
But John V Cook thinks he has right
to connive with anybody he pleases to
cheat the public Is such man fit for
clerk? To begin with he is not competent
to run the office and never can be- He
has never done FIVE dollars worth Of work
for the people since he was elected; he
cant do any work in the office; he don;
know how and he cant learn. He sits
around and smokes and chews tobacco
aud swears at people who call at the oflice
on business, and is paid FOR 1t by the PEG
D pie; and then the people pay clerks fol
doing his work.
But when we add to the notorious fac
!. OF his incompetency, his vulgarity ant
profanity, the fact that he connives Wit
; people to hide and suppress public records
|. it becomes the duty Of somebody to poiu
n out his faults, and then if he will not cor
: rect them as far as he knows how, tax
