MIR. William s. FOrwOOd. Jr

Several political cards appear in The 4Egss
this week, which will doubtless receive the
! careful attention of voters. Two of these are
| from MIR. VIM. 8. Forwood, Jr.. the Chief
Deputy in the Clerks Office at Bel Air, and
the Democratic candidate for Clerk of the Cir
cult Court for Hartford county. Probably
there never has been candidate in Hartford
county more scurrilously maligned and ira
duced by his political opponents than Mr..
Forwood. In one of these cards he brands
as utterly false" the charges made against
him of mal-administration of his Office as
Chief Deputy Clerk. In a manly way he
challenges and courts judicial investigation
of his course by the Grand Jury, the only
body provided by law 10 make such investi-
CATION. The Clerks Office was thoroughly
investigated, last February, by a Grand Jury,
composed of the best citizens of the county,
and that body, in their report to the court,
said that "while in some instances there may
have been slight overcharges, in as many
more the fees exacted have not been as much
as the law would allow"
In discharging this grand jury, Judge Wat
tiers complimented them by saying that their
report was fair and that the performance of
their duties had been satisfactory.
There may, we repeat, have been some
trifling irregularities, the growth of years,
but for these Mr.. Forwood is in no way re-
sponsible. One of these is failure to keep a
fee bill posted up in the office. And by the
way, no one, without special training and ex-
perience, could take the fee bill as laid down
in the Code and properly tax the costs in any
case. Ifany reform is needed In this direc-
ton the Legislature alone can and ought to
provide remedy by enacting clear and ex-
plicit schedule of fees for public service.
As Chief Deputy Clerk Mr.. Forwood has
instituted many Improvements in the manage
ment of the office which are acknowledged
to be of advantage to all who have business
therein.
Mr.. Forwood is young man of unblemish-
ed moral character and ofcourteous manners
As public officer he has shown himself to
be systematic, careful, exact and honest in
the performance of his duties. He is the reg
ularly nominated candidate of his party and
no Democrat should heed the malicious as
saults upon him, from whatever quarter they
may be made.
We have satisfied ourselves completely
that he has been traduced and maligned and
we believe that when he has the entire
charge and responsibility of the office he
will conduct its affairs with credit to himself
and to the satisfaction of the people of Hqr-
ford county.
MIR. Forwood's cards furnish conclusive
proofto any unprejudiced mind of the iDjus-
tice of the allegations made against him by
his political adversaries.

The County Commissioners publish a
card, this week, in which they deny, emphat-
ically, the allegations made by supporters of
Republican nominees that two members of
the board had exceeded their duty and ex-
pended public money for road purposes with
out authority. The Commissioners alluded
to are Messrs. Hope and Scarborough, both
of whom are candidates for reelection. The
card is signed by every member of the board.
The present County Commissioners have at
tended TO their duties, we believe, with zeal
and fidelity. Under their care the roads Of
the county, in every district, are generally
better than they have ever been. A large
amount of permanent stone work has been
done on them, the benefits of which will be
seen when Jack Frost gets in his work on
the dirt roads. A considerable amount of
money, it is true, has been spent on tina roads !,
but it has, in most instances, been well spent,
and when this is the case no taxpayer is likely
to object. The Commissioners have also made
an increased and needed appropriation for
our public schools, in order to preserve the
high standard of efficiency which they have
attained under the present board of School
Commissioners and School Examiner Wor-
Ellington. They deserve the credit and the
thanks of the people of Hartford instead of
adverse criticism and abuse. Vote for Hope
and Scarborough.

candidate for Governor and other distinguished
members of the party. The Bel Air Band, led

to the polls ON election day and vote the
ticket of his party without scratching sim
gle name. Do not carry your primary cleo
ton contest to the general election. If your
candidate had been nominated ne would have
