EX.ROAD SURVEYOR REPLIES TO
"0BSERVER" AND SHOWS
UP MS POLITICAL
TRICKERY.
KrNewooD, Jan. Is, 1892.


EDITOR ARGUS -
In recent article in stating GER
tain well known facts in regard to
the change made IN certain Road
Surveyors and tho cause thereof
necessarily used Commissioner
Shaw's namc rs the author of said
changes and gave the reason there.
for. see in your last issue that
my article has brought out over the
signature Of "0bservcr n general
defense of Commissioner Shaw.
My former article was not written
for the purpose of attacking Mr..
Shaw but to set g. q. Craig, who
Tommy Hanker had in his inter.
view with the +" Lounger, abused
as one OF the road surveyors who
wouldn't take stock in his road
system, so called. And right here
we want to say that Mr.. Shaw not
only did G. g. Craig an injustice in
turning him out, but also the peo-
pie of this town and all travellers OF
the X. II. Pike, for the road is not
in as good condition as when
Charlie was Surveyor, and the fault
is not IN the road system, as Tom
my Hawkcr would say, but in the
system OF the man who works it.
We elected Mr.. Shaw on the Re-
publican ticket as Republican,
and protest against his giving the
road surveyorship to the Democrats
simply because. as "Obscrver "
says, a few Democrats voted for
him. We have the majority in
Kingwood district and don't think
it necessary for the Democrats to
be bought mp by road surveyorships,
the promise of thresbing jobs and
other devices, but Fritz Barlow
knows the goods are not always de-
livered.
"Obgerver " says he never sup
ported Mr.. Slaw for Office. We
arc astonished at this, IN fact we
are more than astonished. We arc
dumbfoundcd. This is the Gun.
kindcst cut Of all" Oh the in
gratitude Of man; the falsity Of
friends +; the hypocrisy Of political
counselors the disloyalty Of bench
men arc as naught if this statement
is true.
Why, "Observcr," what were
you doing during the last sheriTaIty
contest, when travelling from Cheat
river to Maryland and from the
Tucker line to Pennsylvania with
Mr.. Shaw's silver Shekels jingling
in your pocket and q deputy Sheriff
commission in your hat il you
we're not supporting him for Office,
What were you doing, playing him
false were you ? but hold a! since We
come to remember, judging by bis
vote where you canvassod, by ioye /
IL seems You have told half truth
anyway, and Mr.. Shaw Is opposed
TO bosses Is he f.? Well, so ~ every
man that wants to boss himself
We have no eight with SIR. Shaw
more than what we mentioned in
our former article. Personally he
has treated us square. lie is an
energetic man, and deserves well Of
the people, but If he allows shysters
and such political tramps 40 the
"Observer " to guide his political
aspirations his bark will be stranded
on the first sand bank as sure az
" Observer never supported him for
office" Yours for g. G. Craig for
road surveyor.

end OF each building space mas peen left which
will serve a sheltered porch or hall entrance.
Here the men can sit IN case there il rain oil
they wish to chat and smoke together before
retiring.
CANVAS INSTEAD OF BOARDS.
The use Of canvas for covering the sides in
place of boards is another admirable feature, al
the canvas is not only cheaper, but it can be
rolled UP during hot night, and il the weather
is cool it will be ample protection. All that the
occupants of these quarters will need to bring
with them is a blanket and perhaps a comb to
to smooth out their tumbled hair in the morn
ing and enough money to buy their meals.
They won't even have the bother of thinking
whether burglars are likely to break in. as the
committee will have the buildings in charge of
q competent corps Of watchmen.
A MUSICAL THEME.
When the triple row Of men, sixteen in file,
stretching along some $50 feet-snd there are
seven Of such combinations in their
nightly w4estle with old Morpheus, what q
chorus of sounds will be evolved. Such o
chorus properly arranged for the orchestra
would be drawing card in the repertoire OF
the Marine Band.
Mr. Chase, who is Mr.. Morrison's superin-
tendent has over 100 men at work. and by the
close of next week he expects to have all the
buildings completed.
QUARTERS ELSEWHEhE.
Although this group Of buildings will furnish
quarters for about 200 men, yet the citizens
committee have to look out for about as many
more. So the construction Of four or five sim
liar buildings will be began at once at Garfield
Park. where it is expected some 5000 or 10000
men will be located. A couple of buildings will
be erected on the square bounded by 18th, Sth
and streets southwest, which will accommo-
date some 5000 men. In addition the COM
mittee propose TO lease the new hall over the
X street market if it is completed in time
where some 1000 men can sleep. Nearly all
the school buildings have been assigned to
Grand Army posts free Of charge, the COM
mittee further supplying the necessary cots.
Altogether the committee will provide sleeping
quarters for good sized army Of some 10000
Quarters for between 5000 and 20 900 men
have been secured by the posts Of which they
are members and tn rent of which will be paid
by the posts. so that the committee will not be
under the necessity of providing sleeping ac-
commodations for this proportion of the thou
sands of old soldiers who intend to come to this
city in September.
