The campaign for the fall elections having opened, and the political cauldron being placed over the tire, it becomes the duty of every taxpayer to take sides and discharge his duty as his conscience dictates to him." There are various issues presented to the people for their consideration, some true, some false. In discussing the National and Stato issues the minor and county issues are often overshadowed or neglected. Issues and principles remain the same, though often abused by men elected to obey them as required by party constituents and law. In county and local politics many

falsehoods and abuses are used,

all for the purpose of deceiving. Candidates guilty of gross abuses appear in tho garb of purity and innocence, and pose as great reformers, self-sacrificing, benevolent, etc.,

to all outward appearances. Just such a man we have in the candi

date for Auditor on the Republican

county ticket. We will horein

name some of the abuses practiced

by this now "great political purifier and tax reducer." Let his work

and his record while in the oflice he now again seeks under different poetical colors, be the guiding star to which he should point with pride. A PARTIAL LIST of illegal allowances asked for, al

lowed and accepted by Isidor Schuhmacher, during his term of

fees and salaries, the object being apparent, to deceive, and reduce the amount charged to fees and salaries. Come and examine the records, and find how many of the specific allowances have been paid to Isidor Schuhmacher. It will astound you, ami expose him as he appears behind the curtains. In his report, published in the Independent," April 4, 1SSS, he enumerates and curtails the spe

cific allowances down to .fi.oOO.tK).

Being himself appalled at the stupendous aggregate amount of specific allowance, he applied the remedy to such an extent that none of the balances prove up with his records. The report for the eight vears published was evidently in

tended for the public, no matter

what the records? showed. Another piece of strategy that should be examined by the' taxpayers, as there is ample time for defense, if he has any. COXTKASTIXO COUNTY TAX LEVY. Valuation of property and amount collected for county purposes, from and including November and De

On page 142, Ueconl I, we lind that I. Schuhmacher was allowed the sum of one hundred ami eight dollars for (hushing neglected Duplicates of J, M. Dcinderfer, as per contract. The former In ing "in full for contract," this allowance was in excess. On page 208, Record I, we again find allowance to Isidor Schuhmacher for; sixty-eight dollars for work on neglected Duplicates, as per contract. As there was only one contract for this kind of work at this time the excess must be credited to original contract, making illegal charges by him, and paid by taxpayers to him, on this item o,$170.00. Large charges for making plat Imoks, for postage stamps, Ac, were alio made, all of winch were unlawful. Committees of honest taxpayers are invited to call and examine the records, and find out the vast amount of hypocriey that can lay concealed under the coat of a pretended reformer. COUNTY TAX LEVY.

Valuation of property and nmountj

Total IM,:0 Kxi)ene of fee- anil alurlc for the time

time ubovu uumeil, $S,K.77.

I make a comparison of these

four items in expense of county funds, as well as of the receipts.

The expense of elections was paid

by the townships during the period of Schuhmacher's reign. Jly com

paring one can readily see that taxation was no higher on account of

countv levies and collections as is

claimed. During Schuhmacher's time not a single iron bridge was contracted for, and all competition

was pinched and favored. During

the last seven vears ten iron bridges

have been completed, besides the reirular requirements of wooden

bridces. 1 he court house has oeen

substantially repaired, with per

manent stone fence and enclosures.

Additional real estate bought for

jail grounds, and new stone jail,

with latest improved cells, in accordance with instructions and apnroval of State Hoard of Charities,

has been built, the lot graded, andj good iron fence around jail building all of which has been paid for out!

of county funds, with a cash balance on hand to pav all accounts that

mav accrue against the county this

vear.

Now Mr. Schuhmacher promises!

great reductions in taxes in the

event of his election a. Auditor.

His past record does not bear out his statement, and the lie is on his tongue every time he makes the assertion. Only the ridiculously stupid will be deceived by the claim. Hecause, 1st. The State makes its own tax levies. 2d. The commissioners make the levy for county wants. .'(1. The Trustees make the levy for the township wants. The three together constitute the entire tax levy, and the Auditor has no legal right to alter or change the levy. The commissioners have only the right to control, with the Trustees, the Township and Road levies, and have no right to interfere with the

township Trustees' special school and tuition levies. If a township Trustee sees fit to make a 50 cent special school levy and a '25 cent tuition levyj his constituents have to take their medicine by paying the taxes. Usually some of these

burdens arc saddled on the Coin

sioi.al school funds, and paying the

Auditor, or deputy Auditor, considerable sums for truly aimless work; paying Auditor for junketing trips to neighboring towns, and then receive an elaborate report, for no other purpose than merely to keep the Auditor engaged in earning spe

cific allowances, all of which joint congressional funds can readily be adjusted without cost, by applying to the Attornev General. Several

of the funds have been so adjusted after the countv has had a useless

expense with same.

I cordially invite the public, of

all classes and parties, to call and

examine for themselves the condition of the records as they were and they now are. He not deceived by the sleek talk of hypocrites; exam

ine yourself, and be your own judge. I "would also call your attention to the matter of investigating J. E. Spurlock 's records. The county recovered just $1,7(54. GS by judgment against him, not $;,(500 as by some reported. In 1SS4 J. E. Spurlock received $1S1 back by commissioners, on statement of I. Schuhmacher, and thereby reclaimed his friendship, for the purpose of inducing him to be a candidate, in which he was successful. Rut how about Spurlock? The rest is silence, as far as he is concerned. If

$1S1 was wrong in the face of the circuit court, more could have been also wrong. One thing remains certain, and a matter of record.

While Spurlock is now silent in his grave Isidor Schuhmacher has ac

cepted and received more illegal fees than the judgment against Spurlock amounted to. Schuh

macher reports the expense of investigating at $457, when he himself received over $700! McCol-

lough & Trippet $400; several others received allowances, besides the court cost and the cost of the nu-

meious commissioner's court called by Schuhmacher to investigate Spurlock's books. Iiy adding them all together the county came out loser by the transaction. Another peculiarity in the numerous contracts enjoyed by Isidor Schuhmacher with the commissioners, was, that in every instance experl book keepers and accountants were employed each and every time,

in addition, and paid by the county. The first arranging of the Rinkley System of Hook keeping was paid for by the county, fifty dollars; the arranging of school funds was paid for by ihe county to an expert accountant; and the major part of the investigations were paid for by the county to accountants and lawyers. Mr. Schuhmacherenjoycd the pleasure of having everything arranged for him by others at the expense of the county, he claiming and re

ceiving the hon s share every tune.

Respectfully submitted, John Guam elspachku, Auditor Dubois Countv.
