of oflcers In any county, and the question of whether the Nlaries are fairly fixed la any county will largely depend
upon the member or members representing that county. If they are not fairly fixed in any county il will be, in most instances, if not in all. the fault of tbe
members from that county, and will be
a question between them aud their constituents. Of course, I don't meau to
eaylhat the other members of the LegU
