The board of supervisors did not FIX the
salary of deputy sheriff at 1926 a year. v
The record, Sept. Is, 1876. reads as fol.
lows:
Supervisor Daley moved that the sheriff be al
lowed the sum of 8, 500 per year for deputy hire
Carried.
Mr.. Perkins can divide that sum as he
pleases. No increase of salary is required. He
can find 800 competent and reliable mer
in his own party, in this county, who
would be glad to take the Office of turnkey
and deputy sheriff at the Jail for $40 a
month, and this would leave him $l,02(
year for his chief deputy. And We be
lieve he can find 100 competent and reha

Deputy Sheriff. Salary.

The board of supervisors erred when
they fixed the salary of deputy sheriff at
1926 year. No properly qualified and
trustworthy man will accept the position
at that price unless as temporary expe-
ident, being out of business or employ
ment. We understand that Sheriff
Perkins has thus far been unable to induce
any person whom he has selected to accept
and as he is directly responsible for bis
deputy's actions he cannot afford to ap.
point any one on whom he cannot rely
The salary ought to be fixed at $1,000 q
year by the supervisors at their meeting
next week, Union.

The Atta,nnted stsal a Oregon.

As to the precise methods resorted to
by the Democratic governor and the Dem
ocratic secretary Of state in Oregon, IN
their effort to steal for Mr., Tilden the
vote which the people Of that state re-
fused to give him, the reports we this
morning publish are conflicting. But the
details of this petty attempt to compass a
rascality unparalleled in the annals of po-
liticaI crime, are of small importance.
Nothing can change this fact: the medita-
ted larceny of the one vote of Mr.. Tilden' s
ardent desire will not be accomplished.
It would be monstrous, indeed, If such
scroundrelism could at allsucceed. There
is not and never has been any dispute as
to the fact that the people of Oregon gave
clear majority for Hayes and Wheeler,
The fact is conclusive as to the fate
awaiting the latest manifestation of Demo.
cratic dishonesty and deviltry. No one
need lie awake o'nights either in fear or
hope Of the success of a crime at once SO
impudent and SO greatly in defiance Of
every principle of honesty and justice
The only question of real moment and
interest is, Does Samuel J. Tilden sane
ton such yillainy? The sooner thai
gentleman is heard from in emphatic
denial, the better for whatever of good
reputation he has yet neutrality-suspicious.
