with this, through their agent, Mr.. lIe-
sueur, have bought bonds of the county
at from fifty to fifty-tive cents on the
dollar. l make the calculation at fifty
cents, and give the amounts that the
democratic administration has actually
reduced the debt: "-.. a.,

Making the actual reduction of the
county debt, by the democratic party, in
less than two years, 1924 ,21O. say ac-
tual reduction; for, while the compro-
mise has not been actually effected, such
steps have been taken looking to that
end. that no one can doubt but that it
will be effected. 1t is merely question
of time. This was done with the assist
ance of few republicans, but in the
face of and against the great mass of
that party, while its press misrepresent-
ed, those engaged in it, and opposed
their every effort. There is another
thing; that is the school money. l am
told that there are 5000 dollars of the
school fund loaned to members of the
radical party. in this county, which will
be entirely lost. CA voice. ..n'' $29, ,00O.'D
Judge Young tells me it is S29, 1000.
Think of it! $29,O 900 leaned by radi-
cal court on worthless security. They
are the friends, indeed, of the poor-the
party OF humanity Why, the leader OF
the radical party, Mr.. DeMotte, was once
county attorney in days gone by; he is
postmaster now. The law makes it the
duty of the county attorney to examine
the title and report on all loans OF the
school fund. The law provides that the
court shall not lend any money except
on good real estate security, together
with two good personal securities. Now,
hold in my hand list of loans made
| by the county while DeMotte was county
attorney, and upon which he is security,
and will read it: s'r.a- b
In 1869 and 1871 Llewellyn Davis borrowed
about 81 500; NJ. l.. Deaotte one of the security
foreclosed June. 1872, and $347 20 paid; lost.
about 81 600 to school fund -a -i-i' ii .'.A
In 1863 E C. Holmes borrowed 81, 100; NJ. l..
| DeMotte one of the security; sold, December.
| 1875; bought in by county; loss to school fund
| about $780, --e "l1'. #."
In 1863 James Flynt borrowed 81, se5; NJ. L.
DeMotte security; security released by order OF
| the Ambrose court; loss to the school fund.
| about $500. s 'n.
In 1870 C. Schaefermeyer borrowed $3.50; sold
IN December, 1875. to county for $50; no inter-
est ever paid; loss, to county. about e4OO.
| In 1871 VIM. Hixon borrowed So 500; NJ. l..
DeMotte as one OF the security; loss, 10 the
county, about SS, 600.
Total. SO 600 lost, in which N. L. Denote is
security, and was county attorney when the
loans were granted.
Think of $4,000 lost for loans upon
which county attorney is security, in
conflict with the proper discharge Of his
duties, to say nothing of the fact that
not one dollar can be made out of him.
| CA voice, "more than that'D Judge
Young tells me it is more than $4,000.
A beautiful leader. You colored men
held meeting recently to petition the
school board to build you school house.
Well, am sorry for you; but you
cannut get it, tor the simple reason that
the radical party has plundered the school
funds. Tell DeMotte and the rest OF
them; tell them to pay back the money
they owe the school fund, pay even the
interest, and then you may get Il scheol
house. The radicals have plundered
YOU of your school money, and YOU are
compelled to bear the loss. And JUS,
here. what do YOU think of this of q
man who claims to be YOUR friend and
leader: ~
