their patrons better service than can be

one clerk il his son-in law, and the other
clerk is his wife's nephew.
Jehosaphatl It then closes the
case against the already discounted
chairman with the following unan-
swerable and unimpeachable facts:
The law requires the judges OF election
after an election Is over, 70 seal up the
poll books, and deliver them 10 the clerk
| OF the County Court. The poll book ia
the County Court clerks office Tor smith
ers' precinct in the late election, - certi-
fed TO by the judges of election at that
precinct, as being the poll book OF that
precinct, and it hears on it's face evidence
that it came to the clerks Office under
seal. MIR. Samuel p. Waddil, CLERK OF
the County Court made copy of that
poll book for the Times, ,and certified as
clerk of the court, that IL was correct
copy, and that was the poll book which
the Times published.
Under all these facts and circumstances
it is perfectly evident that Mr.. Mitchell
must make good his charge that the
copy of the poll book which we published
is an imperfect one, or he must be pre-
