STILL no cERrIFIcATEs.

County Clerk Stanton has not issued
certificates of election to members of
the legislature and others recently
elected, and he refuses to do so. Why
does he refuse? His refusal is plain
violation of his duty under the stat
ute All his duties are ministerial and
in no sense judicial; yet he is assum-
ing TO act judicially.
1t is true that he was not a candi-
date for reelection, but it is also true
that if the will of the people, as ex-
pressed at the polls November 3, can
be thwarted by hook or by crook and
present incumbents can hold over,
County Clerk c. E. Stanton will be a
direct beneficiary of such thwarting of
the viii of the people. Is the reason
that he refuses 10 issue certificates of
election because he hopes that legal
proceedings will be instituted whereby
this end will be accomplished? 1t really
looks as though it were.
If Mr.. stanton wishes to contest the
election that is his right, but he has no
right to refuse to issue a certificate
of election that he may aid some one
in an anticipated election contest. This
is the highly Objectionable feature of
his action: he refuses to perform his
plain duty, not because he intends to
bring any action, so far as can be as
certained, but to aid some one who
may possibly bring suit. He not only
refuses to perform his duty, but he
likewise refuses TO tell those who have
a right to know, why he refuses. He
refuses to tell those who have been
elected and are entitled to certificates
of election why he will not issue them.
They are left to conjecture. and the
only reasonable conjecture is that
somewhere there is conspiracy on
foot. If this is not so, why does Mr.
Stanton refuse to give any explanation
whatever of his very remarkable
course? So far as his doings as county
clerk are concerned the people have a
very decided right to know what they
are. and the why's and wherefores of
the same. His acts as a private citi-
zen are no concern of theirs. but he is
not acting in that capacity in refusing
to issue the certificates of election. 1t
is evident that his present course is
not dictated by the duties of his office,
but by the interests of a cabal.
Mr.. Stanton and those who are act
ing with him. for it is more than evil
dent that he is acting in concert with
others and upon a concerted plan
would command far more respect if
they would come out in a manly way
and say they want to hang on to the
offices they now hold and propose to
do all in their power to hang on. Two
things are very clear to the public
vision: that Mr. Stanton and his con-
freres want to hang on to the offices, but
have not the moral courage to say so.

o'clock every evening and shoot the
six lamps into the middle of the next

four weeks, much to the annoyance Of
citizens and the financial damage Of the
town treasury. His honor the mayor
(who is ourself) gives public notice
that from and after this evening he and

the public lamps may look out for pop
