CARTER rnE "ExpERT.-
Since the Radical papers are persist |
satly and continually bowling on Mr..
Noltner's track on account of his meas
urenent Of the State Printing, it may
bs As well just now to refer them to
the official record made by their immac-
alats % candidate for State Printer,
one W. B. Carter, who acted as Expert
fer Mr. Pittock.
In order to the more readily refresh
the memory of our readers we herewith
present extracts from Mr.. Hicks sworn
rspsrt which we published few weeks
ago. Some of the items of Mr.. Pit
tOcks bill against the State were as fol-
laws:
Noyenber L. 1851 Incidental P, hitting
OF session OF 1854. (W. B. Carter. Ex-
NoTEx SiI WAS died by Mr. FIT D'' .
kocEs on Feb. |. 1851. feliows
lss seanls book paper At ss7;e ss per
Marine Insurance on 5000 $ %
brayage. % esS9 40
Now isn't here bold, palpable rob
bery of the State in the matter of Pit
toek's charge for paper, which Mr. Car
ter, as Expert, allowedl ? According to
the 0regOasiaa's own argument, if the
State only allows $40 per resm for pa
per, viii that journal please inform US
By what rule in mathematics and under
shat statutory law Mr.. Carter allowed
Pittoek sspeateea dollars oald sia4y
cents per rean4 And also why Carter
allowed the marine insurance of $50,
and Why he also allowed drayage, etc 7
But hold on moment This was
Carter's measurement, put in as bill
against the State9
And you will see that even as grand
a rascal as Sam E May, who was then
Secretary of State, wouldn't allow this
outrageous swindle See Hicks re
pert which follows
This bin was not allowed. tsee

Thus we see that Sam. May wouldn't
allow this outrageous steal of Pittoek
AID Carter at that time, but cut it down
S1,5ls &C, allowing only sl,S7S 3S-
something over one-dalf, only of the
original bill which Carter the Expert
had putin. But notwithstanding Mays
honesty of purpose at the time that bill
was fled, we find by reading on further
in Hicks report, that he was in some
way induced to weaken on it and did
finally allow the steal, with II reams
Of paper added Read

GoTE-This bill is evidently the
same As the one presented Febrl-

added and the charge for BY
aheetz7 is unusual.
And viii our readers note a still
worse transaction in the above state
nentl It viii be seen that Pittock and
Carter have again increased the price
Of paper to SIS 10 per ream-nearly
tViee as much as Mr.. Pittock's own
paper, the 0regoniaa, now claims that
the law allowed!
If this isn't a most outrageous, vii
lainous swindle we never knew of enel
The fact is, Carriers measurement as
Expert is characterized with rottenness
and corruption throughout, and makes
a record against him which should take
GroA him the vote of every honest man
IN the State.
4Ir. Noltners measurement and al
lowances were made under the law aud
cannot be successfully assailed, and as
= reward for his honesty and fidelity to
the interests of the people he Will re
ceive an overwhelming majority at the
pells next Monday.
