TAX PAYERS TAKE NOTICE
HOW THE PUBLIC FUNDS Is
gQUANDERED.

As the readers Of TEE Press we'll
remember, I repeatedly offered Noah
Karr. last fall to publish the Tax
Notice. which he has entire control Of,
six weeks, as is required by law, for
TWENTY FIVE DOLLARs.-
This offer Mr.. Karr fatty refused and
paid the New Lexington Tribune,
the Republican organ of the county,
ONE HUNDRED AND EIGH-
TEEN DOLLARS AND EIGHTY
ONE CENTS fer doing the work.
We make this public in order that
the Democracy can not say that if he
receives the nomination that they were
not aware of the fact or they would
not have nominated him. Ifhsshould
receive the nomination, then the peo-
pie, regardless Of party, should rise
up and defeat him, which we do not
hesitate in saying they will do.
The Somerset press. [volume] (Somerset, Ohio) 1873-1977, 1879-08-21

EDITOR PREss:-It seems that my arti-
Gle asking for proof Of Karr's crookednsss
snd inability has given the "Occasionap
growler an opening; which he ha. no doubt
been waiting for, for Q few months pact.
I wrote that article without being asked
BY Karr to do 80; without being paid for
Il, or expecting to be paid for it; without
being under obligations to Karr for favors,
and without expecting to ask him for any.
! wrote il. because thought certain par
ties only tended to stir up personal animos-
ity. and resulted no good to the public At
large, and because think Karr is all right
and If not they should show him up. "Oc-
casional" says am paid 8 salary for look
ing after the interests Of our town and I'D.

dollars and 6fty cents from Karr, that he

tions that have happened since tbs town
WAS incorporated.
Suit was brought against Karr Oct. 3lst,
1877; Judgment taken Nov. 9Th 1877. and
Kars asked for . Transcripts, the Docket
then says. On OF about the 10th day of
Nov. 1877, Ksrr and the Supervisos ap-
psared at the Office of the magistrate. and
the officer who then looked after the inter
esss Of the town, together with the Super
visor, agreed to allow Karr this very time
for which they brought suit, because Karr
had put in extra work, performed BY said
KsET. unauthorized by the Supervisor, and

WHAT RE 10 AND HIS QUALIFI.
CATIONS.

Mr.. EDIroR.-I deem it my duty,
o say q few words in relation 10 Mr..
John E. Gormley. who is . candidate
before the Democratic convention for
Representative, and who probably is
not personally acquainted with many
Of your readers. Y am in position to
know Mr.. Gormlsy's business qualifi-
cations - well a. his private character,
- he has been in the employment Of
the Straitsvills Coal Company for
years.
Mr.. Gormley is . modest, truthful
and agreeable gentlemen and temper
ate in his habits. He is one Of the
very few men who can Gil the position
he now occupies, which I assure you il
one that requires the best akill and
business tact that can be found. He
is one one the best posted men of his
age 1 ever met ON business matters,
and I can assure the public that if he
be elected to the Legislature that the
citizens Of Perry county can rest as.
sursd that their interests will be prop
erly cared for. / would also state that
heis q Democrat, and always has been,
and is thoroughly posted on fnnncial
matters, and that Mr.. Gorley and the
citizens Of Coal and 6sltlick township
will reciproate any favor shswn him.

SHAWNEE, O., Aug. l6, 1876

SHAWNEE, O., Aug. l6, 1876.
Politics are talked in our hotels, on the
stree t., in our business houses, and in fact,
where ever you find q few men congrega.
Ted you will hear the probabilities of the
actions of the different candidates. The
Democracy are pretty evenly divided be-
tween Karr and Weaver and at this time
neither have any advantage. The enemies
of Karr are denouncing him bitterly for
boiling the ticket last fall.
Bill Shrivsr is the unanimous choice of
the Republicans, and no enc else is scarce-
ly mentioned. If the race be between Karr
and Shriver bets of two to one will BE- Of
fsred on Shriver, and if the Nationals
should endorse him they would make it
Eve TO one.
The Nationals favor the nomination of s.
M. Lentz, and will work for his election.
Shriver's friends fear Weaver and have
good cause for doing 90, as il would be al
most an impossibility to break the Demo.
cratic ranks.
The announcement that J. E. Gormlsy
Was . candidate for Representative has crs-
ated the greatest enthusiasm amongst our
people, and especially the Democracy. He
will, if he receives the nomination re ceive
the largest vote ever cast for any one man
in Coal, Saltlick and Mondaycreek town
ships. Some of his enthusiastic supporters
claim he can carry these townships in Oc-
tobsr BY one thousand majority. He will
receive almost the solid vote of this town.
ship.
Your rssde1s may wish to know some
thing about Mr. Gormley, and also about
his qualifications. have known him for
. number of years and have had consider.
able dealings with him. He is . polite,
accommodating, business man, and his
large experience has made him one Of the
most correct and thorough practical busi-
ness men In the county. He has now and
has had for . number Of years the control
Of the Straitsville Coal Company's books,
and has the ,con6dsnce of the company.
He is moral, temperate, busines man, and
if he be elected, the interests of Perry
county will be in careful hands. c.
