1t seems to us that the wishes of the
taxpayers of the county were hardly
oppressed by the vote which turned
0a' the four present officials who were
candidates fer reelection. Fully one
'u'fo OF the eleven hundred voters
"no participated in this result, are
nen who are not taxpayers or especial
y interested in the welfare of the
county, but simply sacrificed the Of
a'.als On general principles by voting
si'Ver' tickets. Their loss will GER
t tsStaly be felt in the management of
rae county affairs and is likely to be
tssletted. However, it is settled, and
hrs here is no use kicking at having to
Sax Sax IN new men. Some of the Of
t O, however, are by no means new
N. county affairs, and already know
viz ropes quite we'll, and the county
continue as it has before.
