The criticisms on the form of the Court
is so evidently the work of u novice that
TO detailed reply is necessary. But the
spirit which has called forth this criticism
deserves some notice. For many years
same form as at present-sometimes in one
paper and sometimes in another. During
the twelve years that Mr.. Krickbaum was
clerk to the Commissioners it was pub
lished regularly and paid for, but he did
not discover that it was unnecessary, nor
that the form was incorrect, and he makes
his discovery only after he has printed the
proclamation in his own paper for three
appeared in tie COLUMBIAN and ! resents his
bill. Upon the refusal of the
Commissioners to pay it, he appeals to the
County Auditors to pass his bill, and fail
ing to succeed in this, like the dog in the
uqnger, he determines that if he can't be
paid for it, no one else shall receive any
thing. In fact, he made the statement to
the Auditors that unless they pass his bill
he would see that no one else should be al
lowed for the work.
There was very good reason why his
bill was not paid. 1t has been the practice
to give out this printing by contract to one
paper and last year this contract was
awarded to the COLUMBIAN. AS soon as
Mr.. Krickbaum bought the Sentinel he in
serted the proclamation without any au-
thority, and when the Commissioners re-
fuse to pay for work not ordered by them,
he undertakes to carry out his threat to
prevent the publication anywhere. In
other words, he says, ''unless you pay me
all demand, whether earned or not, will
appeal from the report of the Auditors, ,"
and as preliminary step he attempts to
show that the printing is unnecessary.
Bulldozing may do very well for poll
tician, but as an editor, the proprietor OF
the Sentinel will find that it does not work
