When you hear ‘’Honest Abe ’ or any of his cohorts proclaiming that his only reason for cutting The Democrat’s bill for printing the election ballots was because the “county council had only a P* propriated (?) $80,” tell him for us, in as plain English as you can command, that he is a prevaricator. Firstly, the county council never made any specific appropriation whatever, and if the SBO appropriated for “printing and stationery” is now claimed to have been for ballot printing, it was contracted away in October and • spent in November with $0 additional when the claim of the Burt-Terry Stationery Co., was paid for the tally sheets, inks, pens, pencils, etc., furnished by them for the election. Secondly, if Abo was so anxious to confine all expenses to the specific appropriations made, he well knew that the council had appropriated but S4O for the sheriff’s election expenses, and yet Abe allowed him at his December term the following olaims: Claims No. 727, A. G. Hardy, elec. exp..* 4 00 •i ** i2S, “ “ “•■ ®7® t. t* ,t •< •• ~ 57 50 it •» 73j, “ " " .. 1# 00 “ “ 733, “ “ “..23 20 Total Here Abe exceeded a specific appropriation by $101.45! He also allowed the sheriff $3.90 at his January term for election expenses, still the council had only appropriated S4O for all this work! At Abe’s December term he also allowed fpor items of election expense amounting to $54.60, covered by no specific appropriation, when the council’s “all other expenses” appropriation,, from which this allowance irould only be paid, amounted to only SSO. Abe is a most cheerful Ananias, but his efforts to justify his position in this matter only get him deeper in the mire. Every assertion we make we stand ready to prove by Abe’s own records, while he has not one iota of evidence to back up his false statements.
