 Let Us ask further, what has beel
 the relations of Mir Goodrich with ?, gard to 51e criminal element of Co ch,se county, whom as District Attor
 ney, he would be repaired to present Take brief retrospect Of the turbu lent days Of t8Sl-S2. When th worst caug of tneyas and murderer

 bEgd;ed the prospects Of any com . muujty, were living in open defauc r of law, Nr Goodrich was their leg, , defender, and with lie fees col ccta
 from them he lad the fou. da;ion t

 to pay taxes, Is this the character
 rar who will force the irou heel { '' the law with fa al ef.ot upon The nee r of the criminall

 he has taken on the tax question, successful, means immediate ba Il = ruptcy to tho county Ii he sho U bo elected to the position he seeks
 1t not probable that the county wou
