The fight for better and more economical cwinty government being waged by the Jasper County Democrat should appeal to the sense and Judgement of every taxpayer In Jasper county. For years tax ridden by one of the Moot extravagant political rings that ever preyed upon a long suffering people, the turning point has come. There are times when a long Buffering people refuse to listen to appeals to “stand by the ticket" and vote for their own Interests. We believe that this Is one of those years In Jasper county.—Delphi Times. The people of Jasper county need an entirely new set of officials in the county offices. Vote early and get every other citizen who has the welfare of Jasper county at heart to do the same. The existence of a little thing like the fee and salary law appears to make no difference to county officers in Jasper county. Extras are scooped in just as if it did not exist. The ring journals are resorting to all kinds of false statements to deceive their readers and bolster up their cause. It’s no go gentleman, the people will take no further stock in your mutteringß but will try voting for their own interests once. The cost of commissioners’court in Jasper coun<_ for the fiscal year endii May 31st lh'X) war ’.325; in 1894 it reached the sun of sl,074.43; in 18bs it had reached $2,215.68, or $788.56 for each commissioner. Will the people lunger submit to such outrages? We want the taxpayers to remember that not a solitary charge of mismanagement in county affairs has been successfully contrardicted by the ring organs. We have made our charges so specific that any taxpayer can easily satisfy himself as to their truth or falsity.
