The statement of County Treasurer Reid
which appears in this paper. is a clear
presentation of the facts. and quite the
reverse Lof the Unions account Of the
matter. Whatever may be the merits of
this investigation, there can be no miscon-
struciion : of the Union's animus in the
matter. The underlying hatred of the
Reds is so clearly portrayed in all refer
ence to the mastersin the URion. that the
force of its remarks is broken-its weight
for good destroyed. Everybody familiar
with the inside facts knnws why the Uni0a
is SO jealous for the people" and oil its
lofty ustsrances of disinterestedness cam
not efface the true situation of affairs,
The ARGUS has no malice to crafty or
revenges TO seek, consequently can discuss
the matter fairly, something the Union,
has not yet done since the investigation
began. THE ARGUS desires to reiterate
what it has before stated. when referring
to the matter, that it is in favor of holding
all public officials to strict accountability,
and favors the punishment of all derelict
in duty or responsibility. but it docs not
believe in gratifying malice under the
guise of an official investigation, which, go
far as the Union is concerned, is the aotu-
ating motive In this whole business Let
the investigation proceed, it is out of the
question to stop it now. for the people
will Insist that it be carried to conclusion,
but lot the matter be conducted in spirit
of impsrtiality, for in no other way can a
just and equitable conclusion be reached
