and not a murmur from any OF
the gang; moreover, had Mr.. Clark
been permitted to pension
his friend Bloomfield upon the
county Mrs. Larson's salary would
not have been disturbed but on the
other hand an additional clerk
could have been had.
Assessor Jemison refused to mix
up in the mess and his pay was
reduced, and the sheriff was denied
any pay for taking care of the jail.
10 appear consistent these two re-
publican reformers (?) actually
cut their own pay little bit and
reduced the pay of q republican
deputy . few shillings. When the
curtain dropped there was no ap-
p'a"se from the gallery nor pea
nuts from the boys on the front
row, and when Clark and Wsiss
arrived at their hotel thsyvsss+
not met by the republican bsuv
band. The play was too this-
sort of transparent, as it were.
During the past three years
Commissioners Kramer and Shot
we'll had reduced the salary of all
county employees lower than OBJ
tained in any other county in the
state OF the same size and amount
of work, and the tax payers had no
fault to find, but were satisfied.
Twice has Will Jemison been re-
elected assessor-and each time by
increased Notwithstanding the
voters were satisfied with his work
aud his pay. Mr.. Chisholm beat
the strongest combination that
could be made against him, aud it
was understood that Mrs. Larson
should remain in the Office.
So far a. the fight between
Bloomfield and Corlett is concern.
ed there is nothing in it for the
populists; they look upon Mr.. Cor
lett as being too extremely selfish
10 be of any good except to himself.
But the interest of the property
holders and taxpayers called for
The defeat of Mr.. Bloomfield.

THE LAST ACT.

As soon as w. J. Clark was de.
clsred county commissioner he
commenced to scheme to get Gen.
Bloomfield on the pay role of the
county. He failed to get Mr.. Kra-
mer or MI. Weiss to assist him on
his first induction into Office, and
@. n. Corlett was retained AS coun.
ty attorney. Not content with the
first defeat Mr.. Clark continued to
plot for his friend, and when the
case Of refunding taxes that had
been collected wrongfully came up,
|asd 4ftes Ar. Corlstt had express
cd an opinion that these taxes be
refunded, Mr.. Bloomfield WAS con-
suited and he said he could win for
the county.
During the past month the Eu.
quirer and the Graphic had been
won over, and all Of the populist
officials (none Of whom owed Mr..
Corlett sny favors) had been warn
ed to keep their spoons out of the
soup upon peril OF having their
salaries cut down. When every.
thing was in readiness Mr.. Kra-
mer was led to believe that Bloom.

Corlett and Stephenson we're in
cahoots TO beat the county out Of
Thousands Of dollars, and that il
was his duty 10 give Mr.. Bloom.
field chance to save the county
this money. Mr.. Kramer was
moved by the earnestness with
which this matter was pressed. to
yield, but after due consideration,
and being convinced that he had
been imposed upon. he had the
honesty and the courage to do
what, III his opinion, was right
During his residence in this
county Mr.. Kramer has earned the
reputation Of being honest-and
honest men too often believe what
il told them. Mr.. Kramer never
seeks a quarrel but when imposed
on, and "when he gets his Dutch
M" he can defend himself - Mr..
Clark discovered on the last day OF
the recent session.
