THE HORTON CIRCULAR

Citizens of Carbon county are re-
ceiving a circular letter signed by E.
NJ. Horton, Sheriff of this county, in
which some body blows are dealt
what he is pleased to call the Cos
griff Ticket" In the letter he says
that "for many years a certain self.
selected few have assumed the right
to direct the political affairs of this
county" Let us see. Mr., Horton is
now serving his third term as Sheriff
and previous to that he served two
terms as Deputy Sheriff. That would
make ten years that Mr.. Horton has
been feeding at the public crib. Mr..
Horton is a pretty good fellow, with
a strong tendency to appoint demo-
cratic deputies; but he has made a
good officer.
But if this county has been govern
ed by a "Cosgriff Ring" then Mr..
Horton must have been aware of it.
In fact we have heard the charge
made quite often that Mr. Horton
was a member of the ring" At any
rate, be that as it may, we all know
that he protited by the very thing he
is now condemning. This claim that
the county is governed by a select
few does not come with very good
grace from Mr.. Horton. If a man is
willing to profit for years, by what be
knows is misrule, no one a have
very much confidence in him when he
runs around shouting "stop thief" at
the very men who have held him in
place and from whose hands he has
taken public favors for ten years.
And it must be a rather bitter pill
to the so.called republicans, (if, in
deed, they ever were republicans who
are on the democratic ticket, to know
that their names were not placed on
that ticket even until they had given
their pledge 10 Support democratic
principles after election"
AS a matter of fact no one has very
much respect for an Office holder who
will accept favors from his party for
years, and when he can no longer
command a nomination, or control
the nomination of his friend, will then
go over to the enemy's camp.

We hear that there are some people
who do not intend to vote for Taft
because they say, being a Unitarian,
he is not a Christian. The Sun
wonder if they are going to be con
sistent and go down the line voting
only for those who belong to some
orthodox church. We wonder, also,
if they have always been as consistent
in the past and avoided voting for
mont Christian people. That is a rather
strained excuse in our opinion, saying
a Unitarian is not a Christian.

A Thing of the Past.

A Thing Of the Past.
In talking with one of the prom
inent men of the county recently
about the campaign this fall, he tried
to drag into the conversation the old
Cosgriff- Hadsell controversy. So far
as the candidates on the Republican
ticket are concerned, this is a thing OF
the past. The candidates are for the
Republican party principles and not
for any faction or person and they
will be held strictly to account by
the party for doing their duty whether
one person likes them or not.-En-
campment Herald.
