Jasper County Democrat, Volume 2, Number 31, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 11 November 1899 — Page 4 Advertisements Column 2 [ADVERTISEMENT]

In the fourteen months between May 1, 1898, and June 20, 1899, the mortality in the United States army was 224 officers and 6,395 men. Of these deaths 5,509 were from disease for many of which AlgerisiQ was responsible. Officers who handle funds of a lodge or other secret order have their accounts examined regularly and think nothing of it. Why should an officer who is handling funds belonging to the public generally object to having his accounts examined if he knows they are correct? The McLean a*nd “Golden Rule” Jones vote in Ohio was 410,000, while the Nash vote was 345,000, leaving a majority of 65,000 over the Hanna-McKinley administration republicans. This was an endorsement (?) of the administration with a vengeance, as all the McLean and Golden Rule vote was anti-imperialistic.

The persecution of The Democrat editor still continues, but all fair minded people, regardless of politics, are against these bulldozing tactics for “downing” a paper that is giving them more insight into county affairs than they ever had before. The American people generally are for fair play, ana such damnable methods as have been adopted by the gang to root out all opposition to the raids on the public crib are almost universally disapproved by the taxpayers.

In another column we publish the.W. B. Burford stationery bill, on which he has sued the county — or that part of said bill for supplies alleged to have been furnished during the period that the county had a contract with and paid another firm for all supplies of this nature. The amount of one bill sued upon is $598.25, and $481.55 of this is for supplies alleged to have been furnished in 1897 and 1898, previous to Sept. 11,1898, when the contract with W. H. & Co., expired. Look this list over carefully and it will be observed that the greater part of this bill is for supplies alleged to have been furnished the Auditor, and the complaint alleges that these supplies were ordered by the officers mentioned. Why did the auditor order this stuff from Mr. Burford? He knew that another firm had contracted to furnish all supplies of this nature for a given sum, and that they were being paid for furnishing such supplies.
