for Auditor?

4th. Whose money did you get drunk
on at Shawnee, when you were there try
ing to buy Saltlick T. P?
Why did you go before the Republican
Central Committee and ask them to use
you as their candidate for County Audi
tor? In the Somerset extra of Sept. 10Th,
you call Mr.. Thacker's friends set of
sots and pimps, and class them set of
dishonist wretches. Now, Mr.. Chronicle,
while you have SO much to say about
whiskey and the party for using it, (Which
you don't know anything about, We have
just this to say, we are confident that

them, yoH can't find one so mean that il

go slow; tend TO your own business. Th,
