e.. Reynolds about your P G

Russell Ia the court house as Auditor
of Henry county. Urged on by radical
Republicans he made promises that he
knew he could not fulfill. He promised
to reform the Office, to run the office
for thousands of dollars less than here
tofore, he promised to unearth enough
dishonesty in one year to prove that
systematic mode of dishonesty has
been in progress for years. He was
given the Office by Democrats and the
only word of commentator can find
for him is that he endeavored to meet
his rash promises as subsequent events
have proven. From the date of taking
his Feat he resurrected musty volumes
and burned midnight oil in company
with dry figures. The honesty and
businesslike methods as testified by
these mute witnesses scared his eye
balls and forced upon him the realiza-
ton that to accuse Is far easier than to
prove. At last when the patience of
those to whom he promised to show
these glaring thefts for their support,
began to knock at his door demanding
their pay, he in desperation called into
his counsel older and wiser heads. 1t
was decided to bring to bear on the
books for which he was hired to keep
and obligated himself to show up rot
tenness therein, one whose adroitness
was more manifest than was the un-
happy Georges. Every voter in Henry
county is cognizant of what followed.
Briefly, State Auditor Poe desiring to
immortalize himself for future refer
ence as he will be up for reelection
next year, sent one Webster to Henry
county armed cGp-d-pie with authority
from his Poeship to invade the Treas
urer's office and play with the money
there to his hearts content. He also
had authority to take the keys of the
Auditors Office and attempt to per-
form the work that Russell promised
credulous Democrats he would do.

tention the Toledo Blade Is giving this
county and district. 1t cites as one of
the crimes of Dennis Donovan his
