THE HERALD AND TREASURER
KARR.

The New Lexington Herald of last
weeks says: "Noah Karr is one OF the
best officers Perry county ever possess
cd. He is honest, honorable and
accommodating. He is now serving
his first term as Treasurer, and has es-
tablished the reputation of being one
of the best and most reliable men who
ever filled this important position. He
will be candidate for denomination,
and according to the usages of the
party will be re-nominated without
opposition. A denomination is due
Mr.. Karr not only ON account of his
integrity as Democrat, but on ac-
count of his faithful services as pub
lie officer"
Mr.. Karr paid the Herald and
Tribune over one hundred dollars for
advertising the Tax Notice last fall
when we offered to do it for Twenty
Five Dollars. He pays the ring pri-
ces out of the taxpayers money
and has the support of both the Dem
ocratic and Republican ring. As far
as Mr.. Karr's Democracy is concerned
the weight OF it will never cause him
to bestoop-shouldered. Why did he
not assist the Democracy last fall? II
is believed by many Democrats that
he only voted a portion of the ticket.
He has played the music as an official
to the tune of extravaganza to keep uI
halfdozen lazy teaches connected with
the Herald, who have attempted to
swiddle the county out of large sums
Of money, and had it not been fo,
John Overmyer, who was then Treas
urer, and Auditor Stinchcomb, and
Commissioner Coyle, both the Herald
and Tribune would have pocketed
about one hundred dollars each.
As long as Mr.. Karr pays the Her
aid the ring prices he will have its sup
port, but he will not have the support
ofthe tax payers, and if he should get
the Democratic nomination, he will b.

that is working in his interest.
