A SCHEME EXPOSED.

The appointment Y. Of the two
additional commissioners as noted in
THE SUN was. one Of the most, brazen
pieces of political chicanery ever per,
pretrated in Brown county, aud that of
Itself is no small assertion. At the
time the appointments ,wers made the
board new we'll that the law had been
changed and that their work was IL
legal, but they hoped the public would
not becom'el}aware of the fact until
after election and that the new officers
would be induced to use every effort
60 defeat division. Petitions for the
appointment of two additional COM
missioners were presented to the board
ia the early part of last winter, but
little cared they for'the popular will.
The petitions were allowed to lie un-
noticed until turn in the political
affairs of, the county made it possible
for them to reap PERSONAL reward by
acting upon them. Then they put
the appointments up all auction apd
disposed of them to the best bidders.
ANY one who doubts the truth Of this
statement can see convincing proof at
this office. Worse still, they hired an
alitorte start an anti-divsion, paper
in neighboring towff, paying him for
his services 800 per four weeks, a
fact to which, we are prepared to make
affidavit upon the assertion of the ed
itor himself and which he cannot
dare gainsay. f't' "a,' :"
Taxpayers, what think you? Do
you think honest men would resort to
Such practicess Do you think that il
they we're in the right on the division
question they would resort to bribery
to convince dthe people that a. wrong
was being done? What is your opin
ion of a man who changes hts views
for $25 a week and then has the
9ffrontefy to call his opponents dis
honest?f Cbua anything be more
dishonest or vile? Are you content I'd
remain under the control of meh who
doncoct such diabolical schemes in or
der that they may continue to live At &
the public crib? If this is a criterion
do YOU feel safe in continuing them in
power when the contemplation of Their
practices Is enough" to sicken the
hearth If not, and If you want to
sweep corruption from the bounds OF
our fair county, to know where your
taxes are going to and who pockets
them, then vote for division on Tues
day and sweep the political pirates
from your path forever.

The voters Of Wagner precinct have
not had an opportunity to vote. for a
county. commissioner since Brown
county was organized, and there is no
probability Of their ever having g
chance while the county remains as It
is. just previous to every election the
county has been redistricted in such a
way as to throw them into district
having a commissioner who holds over,
and, unless division is ratified on the
21st, the same dodge will be resorted
to again. The new law provides that
the county shall be redistricted on OF.
before May 1st, and we have it straight
from a party in the secret that War
ner and neighboring townships will be
thrown out again. The law says that
where two commissioners already
elected are found to live in the same
district, after redistrieting has been
effected, one Of them shall be assigned
to a neighboring district. The re-
listricting will be done SO as to throw
Commissioners Swift and Hurlbut in
the same district, when the former
will be assigned to the Warner dis
trict, thus again declaring rs from yot-
Ing for a commissioner. These are
cold facts and we commend them TO
the thoughtful consideration OF our
readers.

This would be $4,000 for the two sets OF Of
fcers or $500 more than for. one set. The pay
allowed for fees would be no more in two coun-
ties than in one, as it would require the same

Ear less money than it did, as the mileage of the
Jurors nd'witnesses would have osen' not over

THOSE interested have noticed, prob
ably that nothing further is being
done in regard to the collection of
delinquent personal property taxes
let them not imagine, however, that
the matter has been droppea.' The

Aberdeen News: The talk, that if
Brown county is retained in its pres
ent form that it will be county
which will cut an important figure in
territorial matters is far more theo--
retical than practical. There are too
many different interests within its own
borders, with about an equal strength,
to be served. One element may sue
cecd in one campaign, another in the
following, and so on without end.
The long and short of it is that
Brown county will be in one cpntin-
ual wrangle 50 long as it remains as
it now is, and it will never cut any inn
portant figure in territorial matters.
It never has and it never will.
Aberdeen News: A fair illustra-
tion Of the falsehoods that Columbia
people will resort to to hoodwink the
people upon the division is illustrated
IN the statement prepared by MIR.
Patton and published in the Dispatch
as to the cost Of transcribing the rec
ords. In this statement appears the
following item: clown plats at 81
nsr lot, $4,000 If Mr.. Patton, the
Dispatch and the falsiiers will look up
the law (Section 5, Chapter 26, Poll
tical Code CT Dakota,) they will find
that the fee for recording town plats
Is two cents, not two dollars, per lot.
This makes the cost according to their
Go ures. $40, instead Of $4,000, only
an overestimate Of 1880.

have to pay no Office rent for two years, as the
