ANOTHER LIE NAILED f!
Sheriff Reid Fully vindicated by
the Record.

| NH. UtFO NIV'NNtNu ~ WIG
Wood Co. Democrat lately, iabored arti
Gle in which mn attempt IL inside TO show
that Sheriff Reid has made profit out Of
his office dishoneslly by charging 10 and
collecting from the county for the services
Of mcn employed by him as janiiors dur
ing the FEBRUARY, 1882, term Of the Court
Of Common Pleas, more than he was oblig-
ed to pay such janitcrs for their services.
The charge is grave one, aud one which
IL established would go far toward destroy
ing the confidence OF the people in the hon
esty Of Mr.. Reid as man and an officer (;
but il comes TO US without particle OF
evidence to support it, mud without even
the sanction of respectable name attached
to the article to recommend it rs worthy
of candid consideration. II comes in the
heat Of a political struggle, when we know
that the Democrats of the county are max.
ing desperate effort to defeat Mr.. Reid,
even though all else be sacrificed, and 1t is
published In the Wood County Democrat, a
pnper notorious for its unscrupulous course
and its general unreliability.
am unable TO say whether IL is written
by an honest man, whose credulity has
been imposed upon, or an irresponsible per-
son, careless of whether he states facts or
falsehoods, and only interested upon gain.
ing his point, but judge il to be the latter,
from the circumstance OF no name being
signed to the article.
The statements contained therein are
emphatically denied by Mr.. Reid and his
friends, who have knowledge Of the facts
in the case.
The writer seems TO be aware and at
temp,s TO anticipate the complete vindica-
tion that Mr.. Reid Inns ut his disposal.
when lie says: ut is understood that Reid
claims that when he paid Bordner and Nc
Carly at the rate of 81 % per dny he said
he would pay more il the commissioners
would allow il aud it is also understood
that Reid will publish afiidavits from these
men 30 stating"
He evidently knows that both McCarty
and Bur,lner have made oath that Mr..
Reid put in their bill for the exast time
they had served him at 81 so per day, and
paid them for all of that time ut the rate
Of 81 % per day, and bound himself by
agreement TO pay them the balance of the
81. so M soon as il should he allowed by the
commissioners. That in fact Mr.. Reid
has never mnde any claim to the differ.
