that is bypromising to pay all of the
fees of his office in Excess OF Sl,2O0

amounts to a confession of his weak

elected without it, he would not make
such q bid for votes. His charity
would be more apparent if he sue
eeeded without such a promise, and
tlen made the donation afterward.
But a reputation for charity is not
what he desires. He thinks $1,000
better than nothing, and proposes 10
ouy that much from the voters of Au-

indefinite sum-. Ii such a corrupt
proposition can secure the defeat of

nominee for Collector, we have large

The large majority received by Mr..

the position. Outside of our desire
for the success of party nominees, we
feel an especial interest in Mr..
