MAJ. WOODRUFF, our present State Treasurer, is out in circular letter announcing himself candidate for re- election for sixth consecutive term
 He bases his claim to this honor on the fact that the state has in the past ten years and while he has been treasurer paid Sl.366, 400 of it's outstanding in- debtedness. All the best state treas urer can do is to honestly keep the funds of the state, and pay them out upon the presentation of warrants properly drawn and in accordance with Jaw. To do less is criminal; to do more is contrary to law. Why Maj. Woodruff should be continued in office more than ten years. does not appear Let's have some other man look at the books. It's safer. It's democratic. It's right. Democrat.

WREN a republican steals large sum of money and exposure becomes imminent, they have the advantage of the poor democratic thief in many ways. But the chief advantage is that there are 50 many republican thieves that when one gets caught he can ex- plain to the rest of the gang, and they return enougk money to make it easy. The republicans have had charge of national affairs so long that thousands of them have translated themselves, by theft, from paupers to millionaires.
 Republicanism and robbery have come to be synonamous. A republican thief can always depend upon other repub- lican thieves coming to his rescue, while democratic thief knows that his entire party will go against him as soon as his rascalty is found out.
