uict, and candidate for reelection, is
beautiful (?) officer, isn't he? Let
us see his record lie knew he was
TO be candidate for reelection
when he made the assessment" last
spring for his district, and election
ccrcd while he was going around;
and he, for political purposes, and
clectioneering in his own behalf for
reelection, places his friends and
those whom he hopes to inilu-
cnce, personal property on the
books at q valuation so low, that it
reduces the valuation on personal
property, in the Second District 342,-
900 less than in the year 1875, while
the taxpayers of the district and
those whose property are assessed at
its true valuation in the lower dis
trict, must pay for his popularity
among acertain class. Among many
instances we cite David II. Jacobs of
Union District, who had .t0ur hOrcs
which Buckley assessed at Thirty.
DoHa~, or Scrcn and onc-dNG dollars
each. But Jacobs is too good Dem
Ocrat to be purchased by such favor
itism, and he votes for Baker, as
every other voter will do who loves
to see an officer do his sworn duty,
without fear, favor or affection.
The Mason County Journal Of last
Saturday, speaks of G. P. Simpson as
that mass of whiskcy and tobacco,
called Soap Fat Simpson, and of a,
Hess, as Hess, the Jewish idiot Of.
Point Pleasant and the "low lived
Jew" Where Mr.. Simpson and Mr..
Hess are known such stupid yulgari-
ty, vile cpi,hcts and dsh-womans
slang, will fall harmless, and only
cause the finger Of scorn and con
tempt of their ncighbors TO be point
ed ut the bastard BLACKBOARD and pu-
sillanimous puppy who penned them;
but where they axe not known we
would merely say the author, the vile
creature spoken of above, was chas-
tiscd like a spaniel, in 4 public
speech at Mason City, by them, and
now like a cowardly eur, when they
are gone, is yelping forth his vile
cxcrcsccncc
1t isrcally painful to us to call at
tcntion to the shortcomings of Radi-
cal candidates, but it is a part of our
duty, as faithful sentinel upon the
watch.towcr of Democracy. This,
by,thc.way, reminds us that the
Revercnd-D octor-politician Hcnslcy,
Radical candidate for the Legislature,
has not been treating the people
fairly this campaign, lie has never
once told them about getting that
horse of Andrew Eckard for his med.
teal services, and when the old gem
tlcman died, putting in his claim
again, before the Court, against the
administrator, and getting it allow
cd, thus making the boys pay twice
for his worthless quackcry services.
References as to the truthfulness Of
the abovc-the sons of Andrew Eek
ard, deceased, W. II. Tomliuson, Maj,
John o. Butler, T. w. Sisson, and
others that they will refer you to,
Remember when casting your bal
lots that Jim Menagor has not in the
four years he has been at the bar cv-
cr argued case before Court or Jury,
while Perry Simpson is employed on
one side or the other Of nearly every
ease in our Courts. Simpson is the
man for Prosecuting Attorney.
F.W. Sisson don't run for Office
only at each and every election, while
his opponent Thos J, Roberts, never
was candidate before: and Roberts
will make an excellent surveyor
il, J. Greer may be a clever fellow
for all we know, but he should not be
entrusted with the Office of Assessor
in the unprecedented, but james Win
don, whom Nc know to be clever
Fellow and q competent man, ought
70 be elected.
Even if the Rovorcnd.Doctor Hen
'ey could explain about that Eek
ara doctor bin satisfactorily, the pco'
'eoi Mason don't want preachers
]" the legislature. They want far.
