RUSSELL In HIS TRUE
LIGHT! ls ssasq-s
The Champion Liar Of
Henry County.

George Russell says that waItimire has
commenced paying back money also since
his retirement from Office. Now, one of two
things must be taken into consideration right
here that Russell ment to wilfulIy and ma.
liciously lie or he thinks the voters of
Henry county stupid and ignorant. There
are only two ways to get money into the
county treasury. First, on the regular du-
plicates; second, on a warrant of the Audi
tor authorizing the county treasurer to re-
ceive the money of the person named in said
warrant, and to be credited to the fund
named in said warrant. s...
Honest voters of Henry county, ask George
Russell to show you the stub Of the warrant
thatauthorized the treasurer Of Henry county
to receive money of Waltimire that he, Rus
sell, says I have been paying back in
to the Treasury of Henry county. And if he
can't show it to you stamp the assertion
made by Russell in the Signal of Oct. 9Th,
1880, that Waltimire is paying back money
into the Treasury, as false
Twill get to the facts of the case and show
to honest voters that the whole thing occur
red through one of "Perfect George's'' many
mistakes. On August 9th, 1880, Conrad
Miller certified into the county treasury on
the Auditors warrant ten dollars and thir-
teen cents and was credited to the Poor fund.
On the following Monday, it being the first
Monday of September, and according to law,
was the day for me to turn over the treasur-
ef's office to my successor, Mr.. GrolI. Ac-
cordingly on that day the Commissioners,
Auditor, and com mittee appointed by the
Probate Judge examined the treasurer's OF.
fice, and the Office was turned over to Mr..
Groll. Next day, Tuesday, September End, I
was in the treasurer's Office with Mr.. GroII
and George Russell came into the Office
painting like a bay-steer in cornheld, and
said he had forgotten to include in the set
tlement the ten dollars and thirteen cents
certified into the treasury August 29th, and
that it would be great deal of trouble now
to get it into the settlement sheet, as it would
necessitate recapituIation of the whole set
tlement, and he preferred that / would pay
Groll the ten dollars and thirteen cents, and
ne, Russell, would charge Groll with that
amount, to be accounted in his, Groll's set
tlement in February, 1891. agreed to pay
Groll the above amount.
Now. honest voters, / have given you cor
rect account Of how have been paying back
money into the treasury since my retirement
from Office. We have an account of one
George who lived in this country at one time
it was said of him that he could not lie. We
have another George in our midst now oi
whom 1t is hard to get the truth. The voters
of this county well recollect that Russell
made campaign speeches some two years ago
denouncing his predecessor for taking $3.50
for making Dow tax duplicate. No sooner
did an opportunity afford thsn Russell took
the same $3.50 for about five hours work
making Dow duplicates. This is our present
reform Auditor-he will try to make you be.
lieve this was for about Is months work
which is not true. but if he does add two and
one half hours more, which would be seven
and one half hours, sufficient time Honest
voters, ask George Russell when he is going
to pay back $500 wrongfully taken from the
county treasury, for from five to seven hours
work on Dow duplicates.
