THE CoRoNER's Picnic PARTIES
If there is a change demanded in any
OF the county offices more than an
other, it is in that of Coroner, posi-
ton held by Mr.. Hartsock SO long,
that he seems to consider it perqui-
site for himself and his party friends.
Take a few examples of his charges for
services. When the Indian Heo was
killed, the Coroner Immediately i'm
paneled jury Of his political friends
and presented bill to the county Of
5000, for ascertaining the fact Off
cially that one Indian had killed an
other. This bill gagged even a Re-
publican Board OF Commissioners, and
they promptly cut in two. When
Manville shot McCabe, this same ire
pressible Coroner went to the scene Of
murder, but did not hold an inquest,
though bill for over 500 was pre-.
sented to the county for services, and
another bill for $40 was sent to the
widow. The latter bill was not paid,
and Mr.. Hartsock took no measures
to enforce his demand. He probably
thought that in dealing with woman
his claim would not be disputed and
paid without consultation with those
qualified to pass upon its justice or
legality. If Jacob Sampler is elected
there will be no such foolishness"
and extravaganza, nor will the death
of any human being be made the &C.
casion for ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF himself
or his friends.

A LEIGH is Il blood-sucker at best.
1t his is only use in the economy of
nature, but the body corporate is so
lean and lank from constant cupping
that it totters on the verge OF pre-
mature grave. According to Mr..
Leach's statement on the stump, he
alone is competent of the present
force to discharge the manifold duties
of the office of County Clerk, and as
he is in duty bound under Republican
precedent to retain his late superior,
Prof. Roberts, would it not be we'll to
get rid of this incumbrance, and place
a man in the office who is thoroughly
qualified in every respect to discharge
the onerous duties and, what is OF equal
Importance, who will treat everybody
with civility who has business relations
with it. Robert Graham is man
who will need no instruction or aid in
the discharge OF the routine work OF
that Office, and he promises to work
full hours to reduce the cost of that
service to the taxpayers.
