county has to-day debt Of over SS6, 300 On
the first Of January next, if II continues to
increase during the next three months as il
has the past three months, our debt will ex.
cecd $4,000. A debt Of $4,000 in Delta
county is no small affair. Interest on that
amount at 10 per cent per annum will alone

County Clerks stetensent, published in our
last issue. In that statement the taxpayers
are credited with having paid only 81 .sG3. AZ

A srIendid Endorsement.

Geo. A. Purdy has received tie following
endorsement from Hon. ID. $. Hoffman, Of
Lake City, Of our candidate for Clerk and
Recorder, S. S. Sherman, and We ask a care
iul perusal of it by the voters of Delta co.:
Lake City, October Ith, 1885.
My attention having been called to the
fact that Mr.. ;. 5. Sherman, formerly of
Lake City, has been made the nominee of the
Republican party in your county for the
office of Clerk aud Recorder and having had
an intimate acquaintance with Mr.. Sherman
during his residence here. l naturally feel a
deep interest in his prospects. Relying up
on the friendly relations that have hereto
fore existed between yourself and myself, |
have concluded to write and ask of you the
favor OF your support of Mr.. Sherman's eau
didacy. | can myself assert that during the
four or five years of Mr.. Shermais resi-
dcnce in this place no one enjoyed a better
reputation than he, an honest and upright
man in private life; and rs public officer,
more especially as attorney for the city, he
gained for himself the good will Of the peo-
pie in general, hy his earnest endeavor to
check any tendency 10 the eStrayagaut use
or waste of public funds. Knowing that You
share the opinion that men of integrity and
conservative views are needed as officers III
new counties, feel no hesitancy about ask
ing your endorsement of Mr.. Sherman.
Very Truly Yours,

THE CHIEF has the same interest in the
coming election ~ all other taxpayers, and
no other. We have cndeavorej to call atien.
tion TO the true condition OF affairs in this
county under the management Of the court
house ring. THE CHIEF has not made a
single statement which is not supported by
facts. We have called upon the different of.
icials to answer or deny the charges made
against them, aud they have remained silent.
II they Intend TO wait un,il the last momen,
aud then tiood the county with wholesale de-
mails of the charges which have been made.
these denials should have no weight There
has been plenty Of time to deny withou,
waiting until two or three days before elec.
ton, until time when il will be too late To
contradict such denials by positive proof by
delay they have confessed every charge made
against them. Let them now abide the yer.
dict Of the honest and int, lligent voters of
Delta county.

TnE Republicans Of Mesa county have
nominated as their candidate for county clerk
Sterling :. sherman, Esq, young gentleman
of unmprBchable character, a well-trainei
lawyer, u reliable, psinstakinc scribe, and a
man IN every way worthy oi the office. We
have known him ever siucc he came To Colo
RADIO, and in all these years never knew him
To be guilty of single act either in his pri-
waite public life that the most fastidious
could criticisc. If Republican is to he
elected in Mesa county, we would like 10 see
the honor fall on Judge Shertnan.--Montrose
Rcgisier.
True, every word Of il, Bro. Downey, with
the exception that it is Delta instead of Mesa
county in which Mr. sherman is n candidate.
This item, from the source which it comes,
is as good endorsement as one could wish for.

THE statement made by the County Clerk

THE statement made by the County Clerk,
and fathercd by the County Commissioners,
published in last weeks issue, says that the
debt Of Delta county has increased only
s2,2i6.s9 in the past four months, We say
that the statement of the County Clerk is
false, and We have proved it SO. We say our
county debt was increased more than $4,000
between the so,h of June and the 9Th of oc-
tobcr.-a period Of three months and seven
days, and that careful examination of that
statement will prove the correctness of eur
assertion
Delta chief., 1885-10-21

ONE year ago last August, at the time our
present court house ring was urging the fund
ing of the county debt. the people of the
county were told by one Of the members of
that ring that the Indebtedness of this county
in round numbers was sl7 900. To-day our
debt amounts to So, 600 an increase OF more
than 900 in fourteen months time, or an
Increase of more than 81 $50 per month. Be-
sides this there has also been spent all taxes
which have been collected. Do the voters of
Delta county approve of this? Your ballots
on tie third of November next will decide
the question as to your approval or otherwise.
The reelection of our present county officials
ank their allies will lie vindicaton Of their
official acts it will be an approval of the
increasing of the debt of Delta county 81 $50
every month il will be the same thing as
saying to them, 'go anead, You are doing
we'll enough; We, the voters of the county,
are at your back, and we will keep you in
Office at all events" But the defeat of that
ticket will tell them and all other county Of
Gcials for all time that If they expect Office
in Delta county they must be economical in
the expenditures Of county money that they
must transact the business Of the county in
as business like aud economical manner As
private business is transacted that we will
not allow Delta county TO become burdened
with any greater debt than can be helped.
These are the issues of this election. How
are you going to vote? How are your friends
going to voter Your own vote counts one,
aud your friends vote counts just as much.
If his vote is opposed to your own, yours is
ncutralized See TO il that he votes with you
for economy aud a stop in the increase of our
county debt.

To the Editor of THE CHiEF.
l wish to deny that the story which is being
circulated to the effect that if n. NJ. Good.

a falsehood, and without foundation. The

those who circulate it promulgate a lie. Not
