that if he had examined the officers books he would have found nothing wrong. He particularly states that he “did not examine the records iti the clerk’s oldee for venue costs, etc, for the reason that there was nothing in the contract authorizing us to do so.” Of course lie didn't because the contract ex pressly provided that he should not tlo so. How could he have done it? “Expert” Bell ought to have said that he did not examine the records of "the officers or ex-otflcers with a view of ascertaining whether anything was due from them to the county or not” simply because he was bound hand and foot by the contract not to do so. His soft soap letter at this time gives the lie direct to the original report

They were soon shamed to sdence, however, and Mr. Harri son's voice was heard by nearly all the audience. He was introduced by ex Senator S. A. Hays, ami stood on the north platform of the

Mr. Harrison's short talk was full of sound advice on the money question. He said with free silver this country would go to a silver basis surely, and that it did not require a historian or a politician to convince one of that belief, us history has already taught it. Ho was especially severe on the Chicago platform and said that Abra bam Lincoln would never have a successor who will fail to exercise his rights and execute the laws ot the United States in spite of such

governors as Altgeid.

In several respects the speech of Judge John C. Robinson at the court house Wednesday afternoon was the best of the campaign. He spoke for two hours and drew parallels between the regular old time democratic party and the present Cbicagofled democracy that caused the democratic leaders here who wore present to hang their heads in shame. Judge Robinson’s denunciation of the degeneration of the present silver democratic crowd from the time honored principles of the party was severe but true and he lifted the hide on the
