one, and that is Mr.. billiard. He aud
his friends seem to have been content
to let his long residence OF over forty
years in our midst and the favorable
impression he has made, speak his
praise. | have concluded, however,
without u solicitation or even know
ledge on the part of Mr.. billiard, to
write a lew words in his behalf. Some
of the II lends of other candidates rrcug-
nizing The great and grow ing strength
of Mr.. Di lard and his chances of nomi-
nation are urging against him that he
is incapable uf disciiarging the duties
OF the office When we consider I at
Mr.. Billiard is n highly educated man,
that his mind is rs clear anu vigorous
as ever, TO bring up against him The
physical intirmity which has befallen
him in his old aye is All outrage.
To properly keep the books, involving
the large sums OF money the treasurer is
required to keep and discourse. requires
the services of all expert book keeper.
With one exception there is not Il sin
gle man running for the office who, If
elected, would not be required to en-
ploy some one to keep the books. This
is no evidence of incapacity o i fitness
on their part for the office, for ON of
the most successful business men en-
ploy some one, who is Hi expert, TO
keep their books. Our present lrea-
surer employs a book. keeper; possibly
Mr.. billiard would have to do likewise.
In this respect he stands on IN equal
footing with the other candidates ex-
cepting one; having, however, this
advantage over them that, being u
book-keeper himself, he could perso-
nally supervise the matter. 1t Is true
that office should not be bestowed as a
bounty, but we submit that when, rs in
the case OF Mr.. billiard, All old citizen,
who has never asked for all office ONE
before the people for the first time,
poor and needy, thoroughly competent,
and asks for an office, while his oppo-
nents are all in good circumstances,
four of them owning large farms, i'll
all fairness and justice he should be
given the office. Mr.. billiard needs the
office, the others do not; his friends do
not ask his nomination on this ground,
for that would not be proper, but this
being the case and he being fully CON-
petent, a lite long democrat. an old
citizen who has never stood at the pub
lie crib for one minute, it is no won
der that the people of three townships
are almost solid for him, while i'll all
the other townships he has a strong
