THAT $966.0O MORTGAGE.

asking Mr.. Talbott's consent, but as
both Mr.. Pascoa and myself signed
the bond, and Mr.. Howie took our
acknowledgment in the New Time
office, 1t was done in the open
Carrying the investigation" further
into my private business, for the
protection OF the Taxpayers 20, the
county reconds will show that in No
vember, l filed chattel mortgage
In the recorders office for 1866 90.
This mortgage will show that it was
for $4,000, value received, which lis
conclusive evidence that at that
time Mr.. Rainey owed me 1866. 90.
So, much for the $4,000 mares nest.
Now for the information of some
OF Talbott's pimhead followers who
are heralding his statements on the
streets, / will say that on the 18th.
of the next month, Mr.. Rainey paid
the mortgage off, excepting $l1S.45
which amount, with interest from
the 18th of last December, he still
owes me. This being true, hope
1t will a1lay their fears as to Tai
bott's statement OF the Board s
readiness to put its seal of APPROX
al and the village warrants back of
their excesses," having any connec-
tion with my business relations with
Mr.. Rainey.
He not only goes to the extent
of deliberate, studied and contemp-
tible falsehood as to what the con-
tract dis, but he adds another false
hood to it, in hopes the first ONE
will not be questioned, and deliber-
ately says the clerks minutes win
beaT him out
If he meant to honestly criticize
the contract, why did he not publish
1t verbatim, and then point out where's
in it was unfair, instead of making
false statement? Which would
be for the best interest of the tax
payers of this town-a true state
ment of the actions of the Village
Board, and a fair criticism of those
actions, or false statement OF
their actions and low, contemplate
criticism that has for its object the
the making 1T appear that somewhere
behind the Boards actions in letting
the contract, there was a debt of
SS96600? It lis not often that you
will find am editor SO utterly devoid
of principle and truth as he has
shown, himself to be, i'm all his at
tacks ON me. Last fall he excused
them by saying that were pri-
vate citizen, he would mot make
them, but as was a public officer, the
Taxpayers were entitled to know
Now that | am a private citizen, not
ON the Board, having no business or
other connection with any member
of the Board, he will falsify them,
In an attempt to create the impres-
sion that l must be corruptly influ-
encing them.
The question has often been ask
ed me why Talbot is so bitter a.
gainst me. When l started to write,
| intended to give in detail, WHY?|
But this article is already too long,
so | will make 1t short, and furnish
the details in future if necessary.
The WHY Is that / did not loan Mr.
Talbot two thousand two hundred
dollars, when he applied for 1t last
summer. | was pretty we'll aware at
that time what would come If | did
not come through. He was sincere
in thinking that he needed the mon
ey then. He KNOWS that he wants
1t now, and it keeps UP his soreness
but have my $2,20OOO, and he has
his debts. don't want to- trade yet,
nor am | using much Of it to pick
up the New Time stock that ib being |
offered at fifty cents on the dollar.
Yours very truly,
c. e. Corker.
