Another suggestion is that Searcey has
probably gone to Stafford county to search
lfor the money which he and Morgan
sfield are supposed to have hidden there
fjust after their daring hold up OF the
Richmond. Fredericksburg and Potomac
train in 1894 and While endeavoring to
elude the clutches of the law.
It will be recalled that after his ar
rest, Searcey was taken by the officers
from point to point in Stafford in search
OF the coveted prize, but that the search
was finally abandoned, the bandit insist
ing toward the last that he could not
locate the spot where the gold had been
buried. There are many who believe
that the money-probably about sS,0c0-is
still lying in the sands of Stafford. and
that Searcey knowing where it is. has
gone there to get it.

Speaking for ourselves, according to
the facts made known in the case of
Auditor Austin, which have not been
denied, we cannot support him in his
contest to be reinstated in office. To
fight it is utterly useless, as he has to
go. Had we been in his place and hav-
ing done those things imputed and
specifically charged to him, we would
have gracefully resigned instead of
showing fight, for he was bound to get
the worst of it, although the law may
be on his side, but justice, for purity
and honesty in a public trust, demand
ed his immediate removal The Gov
ernor may be wrong in suspending
him, but credit is due him in this in
stance that he did what was right and
just towards public interest. And we
believe that the Home Rule-Democrats
would feel the same way as we do. II
Mr.. Austin was wrong they would vote
him out; and if not, they would stay
by him, although he is not of their
party.

by so doing carried along the respon-
sibilty for such action with it,

And yet on top of this decisive and
strict party vote taken, certain siren
uous Republicans say that the Home
Nulc-Democrats voted to retain Austin
in Office. One gentleman in particular
told us so. We deem this false and
a mistaken impression to take. AS u
matter of fact, the vote taken was not
whether the Auditor was right or
wrong; if right, retain him in Office,
and il wrong, remove and oust him.
The vote taken was whether the mi
nority should be given time and
courteous recognition or not, but it
decided that no consideration was due,
and therefore, it was subject to being
ignored. Such was the position taken
according TO our view and conception.
To make it appear otherwise is to dis
tort facts.
