THE SECOND PART.

In re campaign which the EXPOS
ITOR has hean wayin; gains the
corr lpt pr &c ICES pre- ynant within the
BoIrd of supervisors, har ly any one
has failed TO comprehend its position.
| has had no private ends TO attain,
"no ax to grind" II has purposely
refrained from personalities. Its ac-
cusations have been made genera, not
directed against r single individual.
The Only exception to this that of the
heeler c. 4. BAILEY who most surely
broughI the accusation upon himself.
On aim, 4 he whole con roversy has
ben SIMPLY to present the subject
t. the people, 10 ally stripped of the
clD hing III which it has hid previously
from tie ueople, and barred in all its
l., le,usnesS. 40 pains have been
spared nor time hegrudged that every
record within reach should be thor
oughly studied, and given to the peo-
PIE FOR It's trle significance.
RgAt here We should say, for the
brlc'i. Of the people whose servants
the, are, that nearly every obstacle
pD,,ibi, has been placed in our way
b o6iciaIs io render the investigation
di ucal.. We have received no help
from men who should really second
or every effort They have almost
Il liye~s2lly reg trded MS as enemies to
tnemsolvas. However to those con-
slhnipuS Gentlemen who did lend US
their assistance we have many thanks,
o whl.ever party they were. We will
dDubties, have opportunity to call up
o. tacm again.
ii1"eyer, nov the justice Of our
pDii'l has been verified. There is
n one now who dares openly say
81 the ,V-levy Of the county is not
d rlaafully unjust and shameful
srpuiti I'D honesty. Even the one
organ which venured feeble protest
h Is owned is mistake. The fact is,
tn an ir {, aud mas been, nearly since
t0c fam tax tight of 1880, fes-
term sore covered only by rotten
$50 '7o present revelations have
pulntjre it All disclosed the filthy
c .l.nl., 3d., lbs wl)le interior.
,h'H d, no contest now as to the
nj for reform. That is proven.
That Is universally admitted. There
a-e bJ few facts comparatively which
ne ID nr k'p III view and there will
b. 80 oppas ami y for faltering. They
area i,wy-r. ia lex finger which point
un aisaGaD.s o hangers within the sys-
ten. jus Keen them in mind: that
Porr .Iusu is laying taxes to day on
real cggtp ou nut $I64,?G0 more than
IL Isl. tg5 "tris in that city are pay
tlg ldNcs OF "a ,93j less than ten years
agp, supcry.spr from the city repre-
sens' ~i~, 55- iyy than one from the
c)un.ry; anj ,n 5he face OF these facts
the "eq9aii1tagu committee" raised
n toVas nas $L{96G95 and lolcered
the cHjos "tt.s73 below their asses
mentS on real estate at the last session.
This represents he condition of affairs
at present. y one has been able to
coltrldic' these statements. They
stand untouched.
1t is thus tal The controversy comes
to che seconi p~rt. The position we
h We taken has been proven. All we
need a. t. the past is to keep the facts
III mind. But now we should not
hesitate. We must make use of our
advantage and take steps necessary to
prohibit such abuse in the future.
This that has happened years ago we
can not remedy. In considering past
abuses, the only benefit we derive is
TO prepare ourselves against them in
the future. This is the course we
should pursue ut present. Something
must be done, and that promptly, that
we may he guarded in the future.
We would suggest a meeting of those
men who take an interest in the matter
To discuss the subject thoroughly. BY
that means these corrupt schemers
might De circumvened and measures
taken which would perm lnently rid
us of the evil. This is great evil and
it must and will be remedied, if there
is any justice in man or jealousy of his
rights. And the quickest and best way
of doing it should be the one taken.
