ter man,-Register.
THE Register attempts to make llght
of the claims of the first commissioner
district. The facts in the matter are
these: The resignation of Mr.. Roetzel
made vacant the Office OF commissioner
from the first district. This vacancy
was filled by the appointment OF MI.
Willms, and the law provides that SUCH
officer is thus appointed to I'LL the posi-
ton only until the next regular election.
At the last fall election Mr.Langfeld was
elected commissioner, and was Ell
titled to his seat as such. SO his trlends
Nh. ROetZel representing them claimed
As the Register claims, MI. RoetZel found
Carney and Willms loaded for ab'ar,
that bar being the said Register and
the load they intended firing into 1T the
county printing. Mr.. Langfeld was not
given his seat, and Mr.. Willms was per-
United to serve after his term had, ac-
cording to the Interpretation OF the
law. expired.
Mr.. Schwier offered Il motion to make
the DEMOCRAT the official paper at one
third the legal rates, but his motion was
not seconded. Messrs. Carney and
Willms then designated the Register as
the official paper and allowed him one
half legal rates for legal printing. Mr..
Schwier objected to this and several
other things done by the republican ma
jority of the board, on the grounds that
Mr. Willms was not entitled to his seat.
We do not think the Register is wise
in haunting the first commissioner dis
trict with their failure to get their
rights, especially do we think it unwise,
when we believe that Mr.. Willms was
not entitled to his seat after the cleo
ton in November.

The following letter tells its own
story:
NEW YORK, Dec. 9, 1ss7.-Col. S.
7. II. Crtger, Chairman Republican
County Committee = Dear Sir: l do
hereby resign as member of the Re-
publican County Committee from the
Twenty-flrst Assembly district.
II have been a member of the COM
mittee for about fifteen years, and it
is not without reluctance that sever
a tie with the party have loved and
in which l have many warm friends,
but my sympathies for some time have
been growing away from the Republi-
can party. The objects for which it
was organized have been accomplished,
and am aware of no issue before the
people on which it is entitled for sup
port.
81 believe that the civil war and all
questions growing out of it have been
decided, and am opposed to viewing
the South as a conquered province,
ever to remind her that her people
were ''rebels." The recent incident of
the battle flags shows how noisy and
conspicuous portion of the Republican
party is willing for political effect to
fan into flames sectional hatred.
"On the tariff l also find myself op-
posed to the Republican party. 1t is
not wise nor proper to keep up wal
taxes i'll time of profound peace. Not
only is the money unnecessarily taken
from the people, but a great surplus
leads to improper expenditures. In
regard to pensions, no one believes
more than do in liberal pensions to
the brave men who fought our coun-
try's battles, but am persuaded that
the honest soldiers do not approve of
the greatly increased pensions provid-
ed for by the bill the President vetoed.
I'm 1884 hesitated to support Nh.
Cleveland, for feard the effect on the
business, of his election. He has prov
ed himself to be honest, energetic and
faithful. 1 am in favor of his re-elect-
ion, and think him entitled to the
votes of all candid citizens.
Holding these views, it will be ap-
parent to you that cannot, with self
respect, longer act with the Republi-
can party, which has hOnored me and
which l leave with regret. remain.
