sons Odious.

Because of remarks'from republicans
prominent in the councils of the party
disparaging the ability Of democrats to
conduct the business affairs of the
county we ''point with pride" to the
record democrats have made, and ask
our republican friends to compare the
records of their best with them, as
they have many unfit for the show ring.
AS Representatives in the General
Assembly we name such Democrats as
Goodrich Lambert, Theophilus, Low
ry and Lyons with the conscious as
surance that no five republicans legis-
lators from the county can show as
clean record. In the management
of county affairs we can appeal with
equal satisfaction to the record of
Supervisors Griffin, Keefe, McCook, |.
Lambert, Cray and Wallace as COM
pared with any others before or since
| their time. A
i In the other departments the busi-
ness has at no time been more prudent
ly conducted than when Pat Griffin,
John E. Peck, G. K. Berg, ]. J. Lowry
John Mulholland VIM. Theophilus,
f. G. Clark, John L. Bowman, A. G.
Campbell and Frank Sayre held respec-
lively the several county offices.
| During the administration of these
men the poor farm was bought and
paid for most of the iron bridges
built and paid for, the court house, and
|sheriff's residence and Jail built and
paid for, the heavy existing county
| debt paid off and the taxes reduced far
below what they had been previously.
| These are some of the good results
of democratic management of which
no person in the state need be ashamed;
and of which every personin this coun-
ty should take pride.
We might allude to and ask the pub
lie to point the finger of scorn at the
defaulting republican county treasurer
!, at some of It's county superintendents
of schools, at some of its county attor-
neyS, at some of it's representatives in
the legislature, wherein either in COM
petence or rank dishonesty, or both
were prominent features in their ad-
ministration of their respective offices.
But we forbear, Discerning men know
who they are, and that though &C.
, knowledged to be incompetent, were
given second terms simply becaus they
. have had first one.

church protestant Episcopal) and the
son of a devoted churchman.
