As the perusal Of local item In last
weeks STAR, relative to county off,
GERS, might create q false impression in
the minds Of many of our readers, we
are compelled to state that the article
was put In the paper during our absence;
that one of the main points Of the en-
dorsement was entirely contrary to our
well known convictions, and that the
portion of the item from which the in
ference could plainly be drawn that we
endorsed the character (both private
and public) of uu those officials, was
q scandaIous Misrepresentation of our
feelings and the firmly-grounded policy
of this paper, 80 long as we control 1t
and are alone accountable for its utter
ances. The men alluded too must
stand upon their own merits. We do
not intend to undertake the impossi-
bility Of convincing people against the
indisputsbIe evidence from their own
eyes and ears, and when they know,
too, that to them we are faIsifying to .
certain extent, our own knowledge. II
