dren. How Ia this for reform
You want to know why l charge $i.OC
for four aflidavlts TO draw a jury because
the fee bill allows 25cts for each affidavit
and you charged the same. The Sheriff
and Register and Recorder charge the
same fees their predecessors did, which
are legitimate. Yet you made a specially
of me because the people put you out and
me In. "Thou hypocrite, cast out first the
beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt
thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is
In thy brothers eye." As TO the remainder
of questions on fees refer your readers to
the Records; they are open for inspection
free of charge, and no person in the coun.
ty has had freer access to them and the
| files than you, and in return you heap.
ed hundred fold more curses and abuse
upon me than all the rest of the people in
the county. am sorry your heart is so
full of malice and Ill-will that you cannot
be comforted without this paper contest.
Should you desire anything more to crafty
your spleen please call for 1t in No. Band
you shall be accommodated. You had bet
ter devote your time and attention and ex-
plain 10 your constituents why you voted
against their interests in the late Legisa-
ture. You faithfully promised VIII you
were peddling Doodle at the dead hours of
night that If elected that you would dis
charge your duty faithfully and efficiently.
When you were sworn in you took an oath
to support the Constitution of Pennsylva-
mia, which forbids under Article XVII,
Sect. 8th, the taking of free railroad pas sses
which you took in defiance of your oath =,
law and justice, besides other trimmings,
and voted for the interests of railroad cor
porations against those of the poor tax
payers, compelling them to shut up their
cows, bawl themselves 'lank and lean for
the abundance of pasture that is going TO
waste as their children go hungry to bed,
crying for milk, all because railroad COM
panies need not fence their tracts, for
which you voted, for passes and extra trim
mings. This is living vital question to
which your attention is invited. You
doubtless will try to explain it away as you
did the barrel, but you are on record and
you cannot deceive your constitute nts.
You speak again about Mr.. Weirman's s
affidavit. The following letters will ex-
plain themselves
"All communications should be sccom.

thonotary and Clerk of Courts, Blooms
burg, Columbia County, Penn'a. October
II, 1888. Friend James Weirmau, Dear
Sir; There will be a gathering at the
Mitflin Y Roads Hotel on next Friday night,
Now if you will come down on Friday
forenoon, will take you over and bring
you back on Saturday forenoon and keep
you clear. l hope you will come. have
had no chance to talk to you since the
Ohio Election. Now we must all work.
Urge every Democrat to come out and vote.
Come, Jim, and let's haye some fun once.
Beaver is a bully place for that. Yours,

you wanted every Democrat to come out
and vote, and after you were defeated for
the nomination for Prothonotary you de-
serted and cursed the party, bolted the
ticket and urged every Democrat to stay
at home or do as you did. You are DEM
ocrat for Office and revenue only.
The following received from Mr.. Weir
mau: "Benton, February 10th, 1884 Mr..
Snyder, Sir: l have been confined to the
house sick since last Thursday. l wish to
see you some day. l would like to have
been in Bloom court week. l am confident
could have gained some valuable infor-
nation but l have enough now to debar
Billy from that nomination even should he
money and whisky to secure the amount
of votes that is required to get the dele.
gates to nominate him. believe If l were
to tell him at the present time that would
expose him if he did not withdraw his
name from the contest, he would do il
rather than be exposed. 1 will wait and
see and when the proper time comes III
burst out upon him like volcano and bury
him beneath the ruins of his own corrup
ton.
Burn this letter, for Billy looks upon m
| as one of his particular friends and wan
him to think so till | get all out o him
want. Yours, respectfully, j. r. W."
Here was McParlan he got into you
ring, and was conversant with all you
tactics. Once a 'dear friend" now yo
| denounce him; why don't you sue tina
promissory note for $1,000 and rule it ou
| for arbitration?
Now as to the barrel of whisky, at tn,
jail about which so much has been said
The records at the distillery clearly an
distinctly show to whom every barrel O
whisky is sold, and a careful report thereo
must be made under oath to the Revenu
Collector to avoid defrauding the govern
ment. This was done, as the records {
the distillery and in the Collectors office q
Wilkes-Barre show that you purchased
barrel and had it placed according to you
personal instructions in the new Jail. Tt
distiler did his duty as man of bushes
properly, for which he is to be congratula
ed, and when you were asked by ma
from Benton through the papers if you d
not have barrel of whisky at the Jail, yc
went and made the.following aiiidavit
GAS to that barrel of whisky the depone
says, that he has not a barrel of whisky
the new Jail nor anywhere e!se."
