Those OVERWHELMING CLAIMs.-In the con-
test for State Printer, the superior claims of T.
Dwight Thacher for some lucrative Office at the
hands Of the Republican party are held up. One
strong point made, was his herculesn lsbors in
capvaEsing the Second District, in the late cam
paign. As a member of the committee appointed
to examine the accounts of the Executive board
Of the State Central Committe during that cam
paign, we came across several items bearing up
on the se labors Of Mr.. Thacher. We found that
he was paid, at different times, sums amounting
to ove- 500, and we were informed that this
money was paid him for his sevices in canvass
ing As he had free passes over all the railroads,
and in many places his board and lodging were
furnished without expense TO him, that 500 was
nearly all profit. If Mr. Thacher had canvassed
without pay, the party would have been under
some obligation TO him; but as he was amply
paid in cash for his work. the account is squared.
Another question was suggested by matters
connected with the Central COumittee. A men,
Der was removed for opposing portion of the
regularly nominated County ticket in his Coun-
ty. Four years ago, John Speer was fairly
nominated by the Republican County Conven-
tion fer State Senator in Douglas County. Mr..
Thacher refused to hoist his name, but opposed
him, and succeeded in defeating him, although
Mr.. Speer has always been stalwart Repub-
lican. 1t is now demanded that Thacher be re-
warded with a lucrative Office, although he did
that for which Bucklaud was expelled from the
State Central Committee.

The Township Elections.

The Township elections occur on the LIST oi
February There is too little attention paid to
this election by those who arc most interested,
but candidates for Office put their partisans to
work, get up bulge, and go in on the strength
Of some personal or local issue. The office OF
Trustee is very important to Township. This
officer really has the welfare of the Township in
his hands. He can favor men of wealth aud in
huence, by emitting to assess them as he should,
and thereby secure their support for his re-eiee-
tion, and making the poorer classes pay the bur-
den Of their taxes. He can issue warrants with
out limit, ostensibly for work performed, but
perhaps in reality to buy up strikers and bum
mers to work for his reelection. In some Of the
Townships, within the past few years, this has
been carried on to scsndalous degree. IT IS
easy to know what Townships have been care
fully and honestly managed. If they are clear
OF nearly clear of debt, it is good evidence that
they have had good Trustee; or, if they have
debt, and good reason can be shown why 1t
was necessary, the Trustee is not TO blame. But
several Of the Townships Of the County are over
whelmed with debt, and no good reason for IT.
In one or two Townships, the tax levied, instead
Of paying the expenses of the Township for the
ensuing year, will not pay the outstanding war
rants of preceding years, and all the coming
years work goes to pile up the debt.
Voters of each Township should make il their
business, before they vote, to know how the af-
fairs of the Township stand. They should as
certain the amount of Township debt, and wheth-
er il has been decreased or increased during the
past year This will be of more force than bum
mers going over the Township getting up hur-
