To answer the questions be has asked
is useless 80 far as he concerned, for
he well knows that the answers have
been given repeatedly. These answers
the Repository ignores, and repeats the
! questions as though answers could NOT
be given.
The Rep. speaks of the Shattered

To state q few facts for the benefit of

Rep. has shown so much venom toward
Con missioner Smith and will make
further answers unnecessary.
Not great many years ago there
landed in this country an Ov5r-grown
Tory Orange Irishman, who secured
work, not long after, on the Aultman
house In this city to carry mortar and
stone. He also secured employment as
hod carrier on the Ogden House dur
ing Its construction and, If reports are
true, he made very fair laborer.
But before long, John was taking con-
tracts for small jobs Of masonry; some
of them fell down before they were COM
pleted, but by scheming and wire pull
ing he got them off his hands.
1t was not long before he fell In with
beautiful" architect of q neighboring
city, then 1t was that "like met like"
This architect and this contractor are,
as the Carroll Chronicle says, "a fine
pair Of twins"
Now, what Is the result Of this COM
binationp This hod carrier who labOred
on the Aultman residence and ON the
Ogden House Is now quoted as worth
from $4,000 to $4,000. How did he get
itp
Outside of few trifliDg cellar walls
he has never taken q contract of build
ing that this beautiful" architect did
not design. The working of this ring,
few others having been added, has be-
come 80 odious that it Is not uDfrequent
for respectable contractors to refuse to
figure on work where this beautiful"
architect has prepared the drawin gs and
this hOd carrier has shown disposition
to hand In an estimate.
Those who may want to know more Of
the working of this contracting hOd car
rier, have only to inquire of those best
acquainted with the building Of the
First Methodist church, the city build
inRs and the CarrOlltOn court house.
Now, that the Rep, has always upheld
this $4,000 to $4,000 hod carrying con-
tractor and this beautiful" architect
and the balance Of the ring, needs only
TO be mentioned; but 1t has done more,
1t has been q party to working Its
schemes.
Aud what Ia Its present scheme2 The
Commissioners Of Stark county have
employed q Stark county architect to
design an intirmary and the Rep g
beautiful" architect has been left out.
The insane building has been built
and this scheming contractor was
placed on level with other contractors,
and now the scheme this Repository IS
trying to work IL, IL pussiblt hy fair
means or foul, to defeat Commi
Smith because he did not employ The
