2,505 TO 2.5ps, bo.h Inclusive.
This Is the most important law I'M
der which o are called upon at this
time To make investigation, and / urge
upon NDn the AD~oittit DeseSs1tN OF
thoroughly examining into the oileiises
under IT,. 1t IL a matter OF common
repnte that many such offenses have
been committed in this and every 9th
er county in the State since the pas
sage OF the law, and 1t behooves every
good citizen "a aid in bringing to jus
tice every violator ut this act for the
reison that Il spotess purity OF cleo
lions is the only perfect safeguard
against dangerous encroachments upon
our system of government by unscru-
pulous men, who should be punished
for wholesale attempts Mt corrupting
entire communities. When once such
practices become common, il democrat
ICES the public morals and becomes the
entesing wedge for total depraNiiy, and
must result in placing the county at the
IN Grey of men whose means ami lack
OF conscience and iearle>sness of the
laws shall enable them to control the
election of men To Office who will lie
their tools aud m%inions. ending in over
throwing republican government and
erecting in its stead an incompetent
and wicked monarchy presided over
by these alleged corruptioni>ts.
Your In vestigation on tins subject, II
is to he hoped, will be conducted with
out partisan fear or favor, only ia
punish guilt and vindicate the laws
and yourselves under your oaths.
