MOT THOUGHT PRUDENT 10
TAKE ACTION NOWS."


The Herald says OF the trumyed.np
suit by the commissioners against
Treasurer Bradiay:. This Gaze could
not bs heard last summer, and at a
time remote from the campaign, for the
reason that the judge was out of the
state, and it is not thought prudent
to take action now as the cry would go
up that MIR. Bradley had been ousted
for political reasons, and such action
be miscons,rlsd.'
Such Is the twaldie that The Herald
is dishing ny. If Mir. Bradley is
guilty Of various offences, as the Her.
aid attempts to make him appear, then
that paper and its dictator are equally
as guilty for delaying in the prosecu-
ton o tie case. Not thought pru-
dent to take action now because the
cry WOULD 20 mp thar SIR. Bradley had
been ons,ed for political reasons
What a kind, forhearing spirit in be-
half os the people! And what an ex-
allied opinion the Herald has Of the
intelligence of the people! Oh, no, of
course the voters and taxpayers
haven't sense enough to know that if
MIR. Bradley is guilty of a crime that
he should be tried and if guilty, pun
ished for it! They wouldn't know any
better than to think that it was for
political reasons" The Herald knows
very we'll, if it has any conception of
right and wrong, that the people-the
taxpayers and voters-of Fall River
county would not for a moment sane
ton any crime, OF any m~ismanage-
ment upon the part of any Official;
and that paper insults the people when
it intimates that they would. IL tlo.e
parties who try to think that they
have a case against Mr.. Bradley wish
to satisfy people that they are really
working i'll the interest of the taxpay-
ers, and that they mean business, why
do they not proceed? The time to
have shown this up through the courts
was befor. election, and then if by a
fair and impartial trial mir. Bradley
had been ousted'' no one with any sense
whatever would anticipate that the
people would raise the cry that it was
for political reasons" This is too
thin. and the Herald's enterprise (?)
in trying the case through its columns
for several days, instead of in court
fearing 'snch action would be miscon.
srued,' will hardly be appreciated by
an intelligent community. 1t is an
insult 20 the good sense of the people te
think that they would not desire tina,
any one accused Of a crime should b,
tried in court instead of in a news
paper owned by MIR. Evans.
The fact of the matter is, ther,
is no show whatever Of winning th,
case that has been com
menced against Mr.. Bradley. and TO,
this reason SIT is not thought pruden
to take action now Nothing els
on earth could stop them. Their yer,
bones ache to begin action, if they ha,
any case.
This INSCRIPTIONS board of cownt
commissioners who are accused o
worse crimes than all the candidate
running for Office this fall, brousl
action against MIR. Bradley. which
generally understood and believed I
be a mere bluff for the purpose q
bulldozing the court house money on
of his hands.-and now that all the
dishonest tactics have failed, and know
ing very we'll that they have no cas-
against him, they enter the prudent
plea for political reasons and eve
go so far as to censure MIR. Bradle
because he did not demand that the
proceed against him with their drivel
ling charges.
