cocted at the instigation of bitterly
partisan opponents, to my personal
disadvantage, and TO those who think
there must DE a semblance at least Of

of the publisher of the Morris Trib-
une at reduced rates and giving to
THE Sun newspaper the printing of
the delinquent tax list ut legal rates,
thereby putting the county to the
expense of the difference. Let me
explain: At the January meeting,
owing to the change in the law and
acting upon the advice OF the county
attorney, the county commissioners
decided to re.des' gnate the paper in
which such list silpnld be published,
and invited bids from the Tribune

put in a bid higher than the rate
which the publisher of the Tribune
had expressed his willingness to do
the work for, but this gentleman did

board.
1t will not be necessary for my
purpose to cite in detail the circum-
stances Will Ii led up to the indig-
nant hYeaking up Of the conspiracy to
compel LEGAL RATES. Suffice it to
say that to the action of the publisher
of the Tribune was applied the term
ubiquitous" by a prominent member
of the board, applied in his presence
and that OF the other members aud
bystanders. Not one commissioner
raised his voice in opposition to the
motion made by this same commits

rize the auditor to designate paper.

une.

A. MoGregor is the Editor.

The Repository OF Tuesday in refer
ring to the engagement of Mr.. Joe Gil
le pie, Of Alliance, on the repertorIal
staff OF the DEMOCRAT, tries to create the
impression that Mr.. A. McGreGOr has
retired from the editOTship of this paper.
The imputatiOn is absurd to all readers
Of the paper, who have not only daily
read MIR. McGregOr's regular editorials
but have also seen them with his name
at ached, as one appears on the second

Although Mr.. McGregor, IL, unfOrtu-
nately, obliged to undergo treatment
for some weeks at DR.. Shepard's Cure, In

ed in a severe fall at CarrolltOn last
winter, his engagement with the paper
Is as active as ever and he attends to his
work as regularly in Columbus as
though he was In his Office at Canton.
The attempt Of the Repository TO make
capital out of the temporary absence Of
Mr.. McGregor. and especially when 1t is
forced by the result of an accident, Is
not only unklnd but despiCable. 1t is
