NOT HiRD ON HEKLSIQN


The friends of.ll. y. Iumiston, ring
candidate for clerk Of the cour--, are
especially bitter on the ADVANCE for
publishing the records of his shortages.
Our aim is to show up the commissions
ers rs we'll us Uumiston, and the whole
ring method of doing business. II Mr.
HunlStOn was 50 unfortunate as to
come out behind in every Instance, and
if his party take him up and expect to
carry him through i'll spite of his record,
we cannot help that. The more We look
1T the record and the more we think
about it, the more we arr satisfied that
we have been especially easy on Hmm
iston instead of being severe.
Looking At his record us county treas
urer, as justice Of tie peace, and wher-
ever lie has held Office, and the singular
fact appears that Mr.. Ilumiston always
came oft behind and the mistakes acre
all IN his fdcor. 1t does seem that the
mistakes, just to balance matters.
ought occasionally to come out the 9th
er way. We have OF charged Mr..
lIumiston with dishonesty. but we say
that it is either that or incompetence.
His friends can take either horn Of tile
dilemma, and in either case he is unfit
for office.
If this had been any other bnt Ilir e
man, if there was half as much against
amy member Of the Independent party.
he would have been denounced all over
the county dav and night as Il thief.
The friends of Hnmis on can be thank.
fnl that the men who compose the indie
pendent party are so easy and 50 much
inclined t" accept their explanation.
viz: that humiSton is simply bad
book keeper and liable to very grave
mistakes.

NOT REFOREo

The supporters of the Thompson
Bloom-Crosby Ring are asking why
these shortages and steals were not
published before, if they are true?
This is the most amazing assumption
Of innocent ignorance we have ever
encountered in the gang. The facts
have been published before. The pro-
ceedings Of the board were regularly
published in the ADVANCE and all we
have done now is to collate them and
call the attention of the people to them
again. We give page Of record. dates
and exact words. The whole county is
invited to come to the Auditors Office
anil see the records for themselves.
These are not ''campaign lies'' sprung
in the eve Of an election. The AD-
VANCE has frequently published them
before. All we do now is to repnblish
them and call attention to them.
Bloom. Crosby & Co., are convicted by
their own records. They are hoist by
their own petarl.

famous, order was made by the Coun-
ty Board to cover up the $Sl9.83
shortage. This is a barc-faced lie.-

took his place January l, 1873. The
order was made OIL the 9th of April,

porting a shortage in Humiston's &C
