The Tribune bowls against Mr.. Carey
of this town because, as 1t says, he man
ipuIated the members of the county
board so as to give The Pilot the county
printing. We respectfully inform the
lascivious and illiterate editor of the
maudlin Tribune that he is in error. His
most intimate acquaintances say that he
has not sufficient intelligence to under
stand that which he endeavors to read.
1t is useless, therefore, to refer him to
chapter 1876 of the general laws of 1880
under which statute Mr.. Carey manipu-
lated the county printing for The Pilot.
Some of this wonderful editors friends,
however, ought to feel pity for his ig
norance and, if possible, make him I'M
derstand the provisions of the law refer
red to. That law says nothing whatever
about "eounty printing" It merely
makes it the duty of the county board to
provide for the publication of its pro
ceedingS in one or more newspapers pub
lished in the county having a general
circulation. OF course the words ''gen-
eral circulation" excludes the Tribune
from being designated one of said news
papers. The object of the law is to &C
quaint the people of the county with the
official transactions of the county board.
Published in the Tribune no such result
could be attained. As Mr. Carey said
during the debate upon this question ''as
well might the proceedings be posted
upon the sheriff's barn door," Placed
in that position the proceedings would
attract the notice of more persons than
published in the wonderful Tribune
wonderful indeed, inasmuch as it contin-
ues to live without sucking any public
teat, merely drawing its feeble existence
from few private ones which alas, are
now nearly dried up from the incessant
sucking of the hlliputian calf who runs
the mythical Tribune.
