Russell's "Cheap" Admins
tration

George Russell has much to say in his own
praise through the Signal regarding the
''cheapness" of his administration. In one
sense of the word he is correct-his admins
tration has been cheap, but not in money,
for we can prove beyond contradiction that
he will be one of the most expensive auditors
the county has ever had, and at the same
time the most incompetent. To bring his
administration down to 'cheap" basis, for
the purpose of deceiving voters, he holds
back his fees or warrants upon the county.
He has in his possession to-day fees upon
from sixty-fve to seventy-five bitches which
he refuses to draw from the treasury, al
though the money is there. 1t would not
serve his purpose to draw this money from
the treasury before the election-he will draw
it after the 4th of November. He has also
held back his bills for making Dow Tax du-
plicates for the past two years. These will
also come forward in due time, in the shape
of the one we give our readers this week in
another column. They will not be drawn for
$50, the amount he told the people he would
do the work for, but for the largest sum he
can get.
For illustration let us capitulate a little:
Russell has already acknowledged through
the Signal that he had been drawing from the
county at the rate of $40 per day. This
would be $3.50 year. The bitches upon
which he is holding back his fees we will call
sixty, to be fair, but in reality they would go
above this number. Now, low estimate
upon these bitches would be $50 per ditch,
making total of $4,000, which added to the
sum he acknowledged he is receiving amounts
to $7,250! But that is not the end, for here
is $500 due him upon Dow tax duplicates,
which added to the above sum brings the
grand total to $3.50, the amount which he
will take from the treasury this next year in
payment for his "cheap" administration
Every tax payer in Henry county, be he
either Democrat or Republican should vote
against George Russell, the deceiver, and
vote for Jacob Resh.

sY-To those whom he wishes to deceive,
George Russell is going around shedding
crocodile tears, wailing that it is too bad that
ex-Auditor Evers has been sued, as he has
notone cent Of the money he is being sued for!
The hypocrite! For in the very next breath,
in speaking on the subject to others he rep
resents that Mr.. Evers has stolen the amount
he is sued for! Was there greater hypo-
critic upon the face of the earth than George
Russell? Judas was small potatoes COM
pared to him. he knows full we'll that the
suing of Mr.. Evers is simply political perse-
cution and that Mr.. E. has no money belong
ing to the State or county. Mr.. Evers is moi
the man Geo. Russell would like to make him
out to be. He san honest, intelligent ard
upright citizen. Can as much be said OF
George Russell? Go ask the citizens of Mon
roe township or any of his own relatives!

Perfect (?) George Russell |!

George Russell, our present reform (?) Re-
publican county auditor, is posing before the
people as a model county oficial--a little bet
ter than the usual run of .mortals-and es-
pecially 80 if they happen to be Democrats.
Yet his work all through the auditors Of
fee is bungling and full of errors. Treasurer
Groll is having quite time with Russell's
blunders, as he is compelled to keep his
eyes open and go all over his duplicates and
make corrections. Following are few of
Russell's blunders in the present dupli-
Gates:
On page 8, in duplicate No. 2, Monroe
township taxes. the abstract footing show
$498.75, while the duplicate footing is only
$311.87; which shows that the treasurer is
charged $168.88 more than the duplicate
shows; then on page SO, duplicate No. 1,
abstract footing is $432.27, while the dupii-
cate footingis $41s.s6. which shows $13.41
more charged on abstract than the duplicate
shows; and still on page 55, duplicate No. 1,
the abstract footing shows $1,166.83. while
the duplicate footing is 81, 1888.
Yet this Russell has the audacity to ask
the people of Henry county to give him 9
longer lease upon the auditors office! Ht
has already cost the county thousands more
than any other auditor has, and one-half hii
bills have not been presented for payment
These bills will be presented after election,
whether he is reelected or not, when tht
truth of our assertion will be verified.

W-The Signal in its ignorance of its
party's record is parading before the eyes OF
its readers the mortgaged indebtedness of
the county! Now what party is responsible
for this large mortgage indebtedness? The
Republican party surely, for it has had al
most undisputed power for over the past
quarter of century. In which time it has
so legislated to concentrate not only capital
but power. This is why the farmer cannot
prosper. High tariff and monopolies are
eating him up. These are fostered by the
Republican party, which party alone is re-
sponsible for the condition of the farmer to-
day. The farmer can't prosper if the bur-
dens be increased, yet the new tariff law has
increased the price on nearly every article of
their daily consumption. Their own pro-
ducts are not increased in price twentieth
part of the extra amount they must pay for
goods. His only remedy is to mortgage. and
for this condition he can thank the Republic
can party and the Brighams! Therefore, vote
against the Republican party in November.
Vote against Brigham and for Donovan.

eay-One can read every day in some one of
the organs of McKinleyism that the tin-plate
tax will have no effect on the consumer be-
cause the increase in cost is too small to be
passed along from the retailer to his GUS
toner, although it is 95 per cent, and it has
already been shown that the increase is big
enough to affect wages. The employees in an
Indianapolis canning factory have been noti-
fed that in consequence Of the advance in the
price ofcans their wages must be reduced;
and as result they have gone on strike.
Yet we were assured that the object CT the
Mckinley bill was to raise wages, but alas,
poor Yorick, where ID the income for the la
borer?

~ Every voter who has pride in his
county and its welfare should cast his ballot
against George Russell and the Republican
gang, who are laboring night and day to
bring discredit upon the county, by falsify-
ing its financial condition for political CAPT
tai. There is no county in the State of Ohio
that is in better condition than Henry coun-
ty. It's improvements are frst-class and
permanent, and if no calamity befal.s us, and
the Republican gang is not allowed to gel
their fists into the treasury, will all be paid
for in few years. Citizens of Henry coun-
ty, vote for the men who are upholding your
county and its credit, not for the gang who
are crying it down. Vote for Andy Saygers
and the balance of the Democratic ticket.

tg-When Russell was elected auditor by
accident three years ago he was heavy de-
linquent tax payer, his taxes not being paid
for years, and it was only through exposure
that he was compelled TO pay them. The
man is fraud through and through and un-
worth the confidence of the people. He is
now asking the votes second time of the
men whom he has traduced and slandered in
every conceivable manner, going so far as to
brand them as ignorant! No Democrat can
vote for Russell who has spark of manhood
in him,

s8-The Legislature adjourned Thursday
last after passing non partisan bill, abol.
ishing the B. P. A. of Cincinnati. The
Governor was sustained in this matter, and
the purpose of the extra session were con-
sumated. The session in manner crippled
the campaign of Mr.. Donovan, as he was al
Columbus attending his Legislative duties
while the extra session was diliberating, but
he is again in the fight, with renewed vigor,
an will be in it night and day until after the
4th. The election of Mr.. Donovan is assured,
and it is now only a question what his ma
jority will be. Brigham is losing ground
every day, as the people get onto his dema-

~ Jacob H. Resh, the Democratic candi-
date for auditor, is the man the taxpayers Of
the county want, and they will consult their
own interests by electing him instead of the
present incumbent, who is playing part in
order to deceive the people should he be re-
elected. Mr.. Resh is man Of we'll known
ability and integrity, and he needs no words
of commentator from us. He is farmer
of large intelligence, well educated and
qualified in every way to discharge the duties
of the Office. If elected we feel confident he
will perform the duties of the Office with
ability and fidelity and make one of the
most efficient and courteous auditors the
county has ever had.

sN-One of the falsehoods most persistent
ly adhered to by the protectionists is that the
tariff will benefit labor. We still wait pa
tiently to hear that in some corner of this
wide country and in some enterprise labor
has received an advance in consequence Of
the Mckinley bill. Everywhere we hear OF
an advance in the price of the commodities
which labor must purchase.

Glorious College Memories.

The conditions of student life in all
American universities and colleges have
ihifted in a remarkable degree Ia the
last half century. The advancing
standard of scholarship, the broader
and more complex forms Of intellectual
activity, linked with increasing social
claims, have compelled the attention
of thinking men to the problem of re-
tanning an equable balance between
the mental and physical powers. Ath-
letics for al lletics' sake would always
have existe 1 as a feature of collage life
regardless Of their higher value, but
when to tie zeal and zest Of their actual
enjoyment was added the conviction
that they were an absolute benefit,
physically and mentally, their position
As a factor Of student life became as
sured. Perhaps athletics in any given
degree became established in u col
leges as soon as that degree was ascer-
tanned. Certain il is shat the old con-
ditions made no such demands as the
modern.
