Judge Wiley‘s Banquet.

Editor Pilot;— The Republican takes exception to my statement concerning the pay of special Judges. I was in error in part. The county does pay the Judges but when the settlement with the state is made it is deducted from the money paid the state. The amount paid special Judges is not deducted from the Judges salary, but the people of tlie state pay it. It is true 1 was not invited to the party, and I should not have attended if I had been, I have plenty to eat at home. Judge Wiley gave himself away in the matter and from this time on his allowances to the sheriff, court 100 m and riding bailiffs will be closely looked after by the people. I may be “dyspeptic, conceited and bodl.y informed,” but I will not stand up and defend doubtful nor crooked acts of any official. A just regard for my rights as a citizen and a taxpayer is my only excuse for saying my say. When I have occasion I will talk again. Neml.
