man of unusual energy and acumen
and in every way qualified for the du-
ties of the Office he seeks. AS an evi-
dence of this we will quote from Mr..
Underwood's own words delivered
in an address at the court house Mon
day night.
Il 81 am. fighting, gentlemen, to elm
mate mistakes, like that of the Gran
ger Ditch case, mistakes of the prose-
cutor, gentlemen, that will cost the
county hundreds of dollars"
II am fighting against the appoint
ment of special detectives in this
county at $1,000 a year, and incident
ally, against appointments at the be-
hest of the Medina County Gazette" I"
In the matter of age with regard to
Mr.. Underwood it will be interesting
as we'll as pertinent to consider the
ages of some of those gentlemen who
have graced the Office of prosecuting
, attorney with credit and dignity in
other years. For instance, Chas.
Wightman who, without experience,
was elected to the office at the age of
27, ]. w. Seymour, who, without prev
ious experience, took the office at 29.
Judge Graves and Frank Woods who,
with absolutely no previous experience
at all, were elected to the Office and
filled it well.
! The Gazette would have it believed
that the present county commission
ers are not sufficiently business-like
and economical. Let us consider q
few facts and figures. Before the
present board came into office there
were maintained two phones in three
Offices; there was also system of
inspectors; two autos, one convey
ance each for surveyor and commits
sioners. Under the present board
three unnecessary phones have been
dispensed with, at saving of over a
hundred dollars; the present board
does it's own inspecting at,a saving Of
several hundred dollars. Ore auto
now does the work of the former two.
This board has spent double time on
duty at no extra expense to the coun-
ty. Weunderstand that the Republi-
! can clerk of the board is responsible
for the statement that the present
board of commissioners has spent
more time on duty than any other
board in his IL years as clerk. Furth-
er, let it be known and remembered
that the present board of commission
ers were confronted with a debt of
nearly $4,000 when they entered tie
office, and this staggering legacy
they have completely wiped out, and
to-day the board Of commissioners of
Medina County does not owe cent.
AS to thecandidacy of Dana F, Rey-
nolds for state representative, the Ga
zette evidently wishes an affidavit
from Mr.. Reynolds that, if elected, he
will continue to make his residence
I in Medina County. Not being ubi-
quitous, Mr.. Reynolds has been unable
to attend school at Columbus and re-
main at his home in Medina County at
the same time. Doubtless he would be
very glad to be at both places at the
same time, but n this respect he is OF
course helpless and Editor Rowe now
springs upon his ubiquitousless vic
tim and with him lopes off to his lair
Mr.. Reynolds, native Medinan, will
continue to live in this county anC
will, we believe be elected to repre-.
sent the county in the state legisla.

There appeared also in the Gazette
statement regarding Mr.. Milton f
a Bailey's fitness for the Office Of Coun
j tyr Recorder which is entirely at var
! lance with the facts, We venture tn,
, assertion that it will require mort
than a flippant declaration from tn,
