The Bryan Democrats and Mr
F}' Shepard.

Some Of the Bryan Democrats in this
town are In earnest yet, though twice
defeated in national elections. We
Judge this is 20 because they tell us 50 In
communications addressed to this office
In good faith but not necessarily for
publication.
These Bryan Democrats, whether
they are to be counted in tens or IN
hundreds or in thousands, have men,
ories. They hold in especial contempt
the gentleman running for Mayor on
the Democratic ticket. They respect
him less than they would IL his departure
from party allegiance in 1896 had been
permanent. They regard him as
tergiver ersator and a sef-seeker in poll
tics. They profess privately that they
are mighty glad now OF the chance TO
get a whack at him.
II Mr.. EDWARD NJ. SHEPARD could
meet the Bryanite Democrats OF the
Greater New York under his favorite
conditions Of political discussion-that
Il, IL he could meet them and talk TO
them without being talked back to--he
would assure them that the issues OF
this municipal campaign had nothing
TO do with national politics, or Bryanlsm,
or sixte cen to one, or the memories OF 1896
and 1900. SHEPARD would make very
smooth argument to that effect.
But IL the Bryanite Democrats could
meet Mr.. SHEPARD and talk TO him
without being talked back to, il is proba-
BILE that they would make quite as strong
an argument in support Of the propo-
sition that his candidacy has good
deal to do with national politics and
sixteen TO one; that its main purpose,
indeed. is not to reform Tammany but
70 set up a new anti-Bryanite leRder,
who viii attempt TO reorganize the
Democracy upon lines hostile and fatal
to the cause which they, the old Bryan
tie Democrats. have still at heart.
The loader OF the party in the last
two national elections evidently sees
this clearly. Mr.. BRYAN says in this
weeks Commoner, "The Democrats
have been divided ami weakened by
the efforts OF the Gold Dem, Gratis TO
emasculate the party creed. II the
Kansas City platform Democrats were
70 follow the example set by tho Gold
Democrats. the party would he over
whelmingly defeated in all the States
In which the leaders have shown them
selves hostile % Democratic principles
ss enunciated last year
II Is true that Mr. BRYAN goes on per-
functorily 90 advise his followers 20 be
regular AMI vote the reorganizers'
tickets nevertheless. but his advice APP
plies only 90 the State tickets where
there are State elections this year. He
has n,ihing 10 say about the dcsirabiliiy
Of voting for Mr.. coward N SHEPARD
~ a municipal contest wherein a victory
for SHEPARD will aRgrandizo an In
diyidual hostile 10 Democratic prince
ples NJ enunciaied last wear
And even II Mr. BRYhS had specifically
invited his friends m New York 10 sink
their pAiural resentment and help elect ne
Mayor the man they particularly de-
spiss how many If 'he same would hang
% their guns aud sheHihe their knives

ture, after the banquet meeting was
beld in the Academy of Music, nearby,
at which Senator QUAY announced that
he would never again be candidate for
nor accept Office.
Gov. Stone signed the bill retiring in
valid judges on half pay for the balance
of their terms, last Saturday, and he
may make the State campaign more in
teresting than it is at present expected
to be by going ahead, and filling the
vacancies, before the 1st of August.
The local candidates are having one
month of tolerably good weather for
getting over the county.

Borough Poor Accounts.

The Borough Auditors filed their re-
port on the accounts of the Overseers
of the Poor for Butler, Monday and the
report shows that the district is still
about 81 900 in debt and that at least a
one-half mill tax will have to be levied
to square accounts. There are out
standing warrants amounting to 81. 269
and credits amounting to 81, 921. but
from the latter must be deducted out
standing warrants of which there Is no
record, interest on borrowed money and
other items that will wipe out the
balance and leave deficiency.
This year the auditors refused to
allow Treasurer j. Harvey Miller credit
for paying a warrant of $3.50 to III. ID.
Goucher as their Attorney, for council
in connection with the appeal last year,
aud another warrant of 1896. 30 to Henry
Miller. which was duplicate, given in
pa, ment of a number of smaller war
rants. Another item refused was the
payment of $137 "a interest, which the
report says was interest on duplicate
warrants which were established to be
individual loans made by Miller and for
which the district is not liable. The
salary of Treasurer Miller was reduced
$141, and that of Silas Mcclure, the
other member of the poor board, $132. so
Bad management and bad bookkeep-
ing are assigned as the cause of the
mixed condition of the finances of the
district.
Last year the auditors found Mr.. Mil
Ter in debt to the district about 81, 600.
The deficiency was caused by the audit
ors refusing credit for certain duplicate
warrants and several items, including
salary and treasurer's commission for
handling the funds. An appeal was
taken and the court appointed an audit
or to restate the accounts The account
as restated showed that Mr.. Miller had
credit of 800. 95.

An Interesting Book

EDITOR CITIZEN: the Cen
tennial of our county last year there
turned up a little book, which has writ
ten upon its back the following, "Jacot
Mechling, Memorandum Book, for the
wear 1904" 1t also has his accounts OF
some matters for the years 1SO5-6-7 and
8. Mr. Mechling was elected to the
Legislature in 1905, being the second
man to represent our county there he
was also continued there IN 1867 and
8. The Legislature then met at the
CITY of Lancaster, and the following are
some of the items of his expenses, etc.,
when there.
Mr.. Mechling it appears rode on
horseback and kept his horse there dur
ing the sessions, and his Memorandum
Book. saws as follows relative to the
horse. Dec. 81, 1907 had my horse
with John Michael three weeks keep
