People have memories. They have
not forgotten that taxes were higher and
expenses heavier by far when the
Gazette gang dominated the affairs of the
county. They know that expenditures
and taxes have both been reduced, and
that it now costs $20. 900 less per annum
to run the county than it did under
Democracy. Yet, they are bowling
economy in order to get back again.
You can't fool all the people all the

When did J. B. Worley, T. @ Bowles
or NJ. 9 M0sier ever manifest an inter.
est in getting colored men elected to
Office ?-News- Herald.
The News-Herald is 80 fond of asking
questions, why doesn't it ask why Martin
Hughey don't pay the colored band for
services rendered several years ago when
he was the Chairman of the Executive
Committee The colored boys belonging
to the band can use that money very
nicely now.-Gazette.
We are scarcely surprised at anything
from Gaasie, now that she is making hys.
terical efforts to break into the county
treasury. May be she will continue to
swing her old silver tipped cotton um
brella and shrek reform all the same
But we do wish she'd be calm just q
moment. We want to point her to the
positive facts.
First, Martin Hughey never was Chair.
man OF the Executive Committee until
this y ear.
Second, He never hired the colored
band or any other.
Third, He doesn't know of anybody
who did hire q colored band.
Fourth, No bill for service has eyer
been rendered to him, and, consequently,
he has never refused to pay it.
The colored band that seems to haunt
poor Gazzie's disordered vision must be
that Campbell Club Of negroes who were
hired couple OF years ago to do what
the Negro Protective party is trying to
do now-namely, defeat the Republican
ticket. 1t will be remembered by thous.
ands OF our citizens, how the poor delud.
ed colored men waited and waited for
for their pay on the day of election until
the polls were ready to close.
Instead OF inventing lies about Martin
Hushey, the Gazzis Gang had better pay
the darkies Of the Campbell Club what
they have owed them now for over two
years After they have done that, Per.
haps they cru make better progress bay.
Ing the same element again, for the Ne.
gro Democratic Psoteotivs Associa&ion.

Why were dozen or more such men

That Roads Petition.

The Greenfield Journal devotes con.
siderable space to the benefit of ex
Treasurer Roads. Now, we might reply
with columns Of argument, but Mr.. Roads
is not candidate, and what he did or
did not do has not the remotest bearing
on the question at issue. The object Of
the ournal is to bring condemnation
upon MIR. Redkey for having paid cour'
teous respect to many lead citi-
zens and tax payers of Highland county,
regardless of politics. Now whether
Mr.. Roads was right or wrong in re-
fusing in the midst Of Democratic pan
ic to withdraw great portion OF funds
from circulation and lock them up away
from the people and the channels of
business-whether any other of the
eighty eight County Treasurers in the
State are right or wrong-whether any
man could be elected Treasurer, or
whether he could get the votes OF even
these great journalists, ii he should
announce his purpose to make bard
tllbcS uCSpCIatC ny
all the money he could from circulation,
these are questions for another occasion.
What we now have to deal with is this:
Have the people right to ask the
release of a county Treasurer?
We think they have.
Granting this, is it the duty of the
Representative of the county to heed
such request or to ignore it? What
was he placed there for? Wasn't he
to look after the interests of his constit.
uents, and promote their wishes?
These people who are clamoring so
loudly over this matter had every op
portunity to sign aremonstrance They
didn't even have to get the document
into shape. An attorney in this city
had one written, and gave notice in the
papers, asking those who wished to
sign it to come to his Office, where the
opportunity would be presented. 1t
was there for two weeks, and not man
came to sign it. Then was the time for
the editor OF the Journal to have gotten
in his work.
1t is small business to be condemming
Mr.. Redkey tor listening to the express
ed wishes of his constituents, regardless
of politics. But, it's ANYTHING to elect
the boodler, John R Mclean.
1t may interest the Journal man to
know that the petitions in the Roads
matter were recently shown to the
Democratic candidate for Representative.
He was asked what he woul have done
under the circumstances CHANGING
down the long list of prominent names
he said.
II W uld have done just as Mr.. Red.
