II the assertion is true, ~ we have 30
often been making IL Of late, "That
Highland county is a strong Republi-
can county on q full VOTE" whv is 1t
that we have Democrats holding import
ant Offices and holding them only
through Republican votes?
II Republicans believe in the princi.
pies advocated by their party, and furth-
er, II they believe that there are as good
men in the Republican ranks as are to
be found amongst Democrats, why is 1t
that they do not resolve to give the men
of their own belief and Of whom they
, would expect support II similarly sit
F., uated, the offices to which they are justly
entitled2 If it be at all true that
Republicans are guilty Of using money
to a greater extent than Democrats
which we do not believe-and which
corrupt practice the News. HERALD has
been again and again denouncing in its
columns, why is it that the organ OF
purity in the Hill City does not denounce
all corrupt practice at elections, whether
it be tally.sheet forgery, as at Columbus
by Democrats, or by false Democratic
returns as in Cincinnati If the same
organ OF purity is so exercised over the
actions OF Corporal Tanner, which it
considers extravagant in the way of pen.
sioning the Union soldiers out of the
national treasury, why does it become
so liberal in reference to indorsing bill
OF s428 for board, at 81 per day, out Of
the county treasury? And still another
"why" we PROFOUND is, "why, in defend.
ing this bill o KID by Democratic
Sheriff, does the organ willfully mistate
and miseai its readers by saying that
there was no extra charge for hack hire,
when the writer knew or ought to have
known that there was an extra charge OF
only $40 for the burdened taxpayers (of
whom the Gazette is 80 considerably to
foot.
If it was more "inconvenient" to lodge
twelve men in one room than in twelve
rooms, why did not Jim Hawk bring in
an extra bill. II Sheriff Mackerley had
"no more to do with that bill than
Harrison Roads, why was it neces-
sary for Mr.. Mackerley's name to be at
tached to it?
If the position taken by the News.
HERALD in reference to thr inciiicirncy
OF Mr.. Mackerle! as II jaiIor is 81 "eily,'
why do,'s The Ga,dte d.vuir culinn
and :. hall in trying 10 answer il?
And ii the dirty, sinking jail" was
the cause Of the escape of Ell. Blair an.i
the others who went out of the jail with
him, why did Sheriff Mackeilcy '.I,r
$50 for the capture OF Blair?
If the absence OF the Deputy Sh, iiT
was enforced" at the time OF Blair,
escape, why does not the Goatte exp.,in
the enforcement?
Ii tho Gazette was correct ia sa, ing at
one time that Blair was captured by
George Roush, us it did in its ssu. II
August oh, Why does it now say that
the ;;i00 " hich was paid for the capture
of Blair was paid to his captors, and says
nothing about Roush?
II tho Gazette believes in informing its
readers again all about the key made by
Blair from the mouth harp, why not
also tell its readers that there was not a
man about the jail or Jail yard when
Blair walked out, and that the front
door, if locked at all, had the key hang.
ing right by it?
If George Roush, the Deputy Sheriff,
,aptured Blair, why was the money paid
% some one else? Why does the Co.
'etts not "fully apprise" the people of all
hat is really going on under Demo.
,ratic Sheriff's administration?
If Sheriff Mackerley is q man truly
rood, why refer to his most bitter enc.
nies?
If 1T is not for the advancement of the
principles of the Republican party, and
or the just rights OF men in that party
hat they should hold the offices of the
county, that the NEWS HERALD is speak
ng, but on account of our "famishing
and for pap" as our cotem.
porary says, why all this effort on the
part of the Gazette to keep us pure and
Keep Democratic Sheriff in Office when
neither he nor the Gazette are entitled to
either the Office or profits from it by no
kind Of "yawp" they can furnish? Is
here no "pap" underlying its effort?
II the Highland county jail is in the
horrible condition that the Gazette says
It is, why charge it to John Foust, when
he is one OF the officials who is trying to
remedy the defects? And why not
wait until the farmer friends of the
Gazette have say in the matter?
Can't DO 1t.
