TH0S. W. HALLIDAY FOR COUNTY
COMMISSIONER.

Mr.. Thos. W. Hsllidays announcement,
as candidate for county commissioner,
will be found in this issue Of The BUILE-
TIN. In compliance 10 the expressed wishes
of the people he has been a candidate from
the opening Of the campaign, and has so
informed the general public from the
start.
He is, as is known to all, farseeing
business man who has ever industriously
and successfully worked for the best inter
est of the people He Is man who stands
in no need Of compliments from us, and
whose actions speak louder than words.
Through his unceasing and welldirected
efforts, he has succeeded in raising our
county orders from forty cents to ninety
cents on the dollar, and to par, and firmly
establishing the formerly shattered credit
of the county. Heretofore the small tax
payers could not afford to employ an at
torney to resist the payment Of the railroad
tax, and through his efforts they have reap
ed the same benefits enjoyed by the more
wealthy, who have escaped the payment Of
the tax through legal action. Owing to his
watchfulness, no judgments Of any kind
have been rendered against the county for
three years, nor have those parties who
obtained Judgment for railroad bond in
tcrcst pror to that time, been able to OBJ
tain writ of mandamus to compel the
leyying of tax to pay such Judgment.
This is by no means al! he has done. He
has, IN various other directions, rendered
services which have resulted in ncalculable
good to our people and which we will take
occasion to mention in the near future.
He is the man, above all others, to whom
the county is endebted tor its present pros
perity; and it is clearly to the interest Of
every man in the county to vote for him on
Tuesday next.

PEELED to do SO by public opinion. But
this is not all. We have in our possession
the proof that he told certain parties in this
city that he intended to charge democrats
as much as he could for the papers and
charge republicans nothing But not alone
this. We have in our possession the names
of republicans whom he really DID natural
ize for nothing and we warrant the public
that whenever they are afflicted with his
card" we will amuse HIM by knocked it
higher than a kite
1t is to be regretted that a maa elected
by the people to serve the people should
thus lay himself liable to charges of such
serious character.

JOHN REEVES CAPERS.

b'Il " II - WI
The report spread yesterday that Mr..
John Reeve was obtaining signatures to a
paper by which he expected to clear him.
self of the charge that he had knowingly
overcharged certain Democrats for issuing
naturalization papers. 1t was said that he
had obtained the signature Of Alderman
Swoboda to the paper and with view of
learning the facts We called upon Mr..
Swoboda yesterday evening. This gentle
man informed w that he HAD signed a
paper presented by Mr.. Reeve but begged
10 offer an explanation. He said
~ few days ago my brother, Fred, and
Mr.. Anderson, a carpenter at Halliday
brothers mill, were speaking about natur.
alization papers and IN the course of their
talk said that Mr.. Reeve was charging seven
dollars and half for issuing the same.
While they were yet discussing the matter
Mr.. John Wilburn, one Of Halliday Bros.
coopers, came up and Joined in the CONVEX
satios. when remarked that Mr. John
Reeve had no lawful right to charge seven
dollars and hall for the papers, and no
power on earth could make me pay it.
From this remark Mr.. Wilburn inferred
that Mr.. Reeve had told me that he would
charge that sum, and when he went to his
workshop told his fellow workmcn that this
was the case. Mr. Reeve
getting wind of the matter called on
me and asked me to sign paper to the
effect that ! had never SAID what
was attributed to me. This refused to
do because, as told Mr. Reeve, il would
make me out liar Reeve then left and
on last Saturday night while was ex-
ceedngly busy, presented another paper
which he asked me to sign. The paper
was to the effect that he had not told ME that
lie wouId charge seven dollars and a half
for issuing papers and that | had not even
visited the court house
Reporter And you signed thus paperG"
Mr.. S--"Of course did, for had never
dreamed Of asserting the contrary
R--"IIc could with as much reason have
asked the man IN the moon to sign it."
Mr.. S-."With Just az much reason, tor |
had nothing whatever to do with the
charge you made and my signature would
neither prove nor disproye anything.
would no. have signed it at all had not
been very busy and anxious to get rid of
him. After | had signed the paper he
went to the cooper shop and paraded it,
making the men there believe that had
taken "backwater' and making 1t appear
that and Wilburn were liars when the fact
is that neither were in the least interested in
| his affair"
We will but say in conclusion that Mr..
Reeve can doubtless obtain five hundred or
five thousand signatures to paper, setting
forth that the undersigned never heard him
say that he would make the overcharge
he has made, and yet their signatures
would not prove the record of the court
untrue nor would it disprove the fact that
he made these charges after Mr.. leek had
read the law to MIN; nor would it disprovc
the fact that he acknowledged bis guilt by
returning to Mr.. Smyth three dollars Of
the ovcrchargcs made, after he was com.

CONGHESSMAN ELLIS ON THE SITUATION,
Congressman Ellis, Of Louisiana, who has
been canvassing Ohio for the democrats for a
month past arrived in Washington this morn
ing just from the Buckeye state. He SAYS the
democratic organization In Ohio is thorough
and complete; that wherever he went he was
told Of recruits to the democracy, but he only
heard Of one democrat who had gone over to
the republicans that the changes to The demo.
Gratis run as high as s per cent Of the vote In
some localities. He says Hunt deny will beat
ButterWorth (rep.) for Congress In the first dis
(dem.) In the second district; that the demo.
Gratis will carry Hamilton county by 1000 or
1880 majority; that Cleveland will give a re-
duced republican majority. 'If there could be
fair election In Ohio to-day" said Mr.. Ellis
the democrats would carry the state by s. 600
majority. But the republicans are desperate
They have all the election machinery.
They have colonlzed large numbers of negro
men from other states and will vote them. But
Hancock is 5000 votes stronger than his ticket
In Ohio, and will carry the state In November
Then the republicans cannot concentrate their
power and repeaterS In one state" Mr. Ellis
thinks the republicans will carry the state by
5000 or 1000 majority, and Will elect II or IL
and perhaps congressman. Frank Hurd. he
thinks will be beaten. AS to Indiana his in-
formation from leading democrats was that
Landers will be elected by 1000 majority. He
did not believe that either party would get
much advantage of the other in the way of
fraudulent votes. Mr.. Ellis said: '.If the re.
publicanS lose either Indiana or Ohio it defeats
elect Hancock. l believe Hancock will carry
both states next month";
