A FAIR STATEMENT.

To the Editor of the Telephone : There has been much said and writen within the last three months about one Lawson E. McKinney, as def alter, as Treasurer of Monroe county. There has of course been much said that was true and much that was untrue. Of course I do not pretend to know all about his work as Treasurer, nor do I know all that was said or done by the commissioners. But one thing I do know, as all other citizens who read and ought to know, that is that each year in the month of June is published a full or what purports to be a full statment of all the receipts and disbursments of the county Treasurer, as also the ballance of cash on hands, and the amount of out standing county orders, and the indebtedness, if any of the county. All this is, or should be, carefully examined by the Board of county commissioners andby them approved only when it is correct, for the reason that the tax-payers can only look to the Board, Auditor and Treasurer for the correctness of their several accounts, and the receipt and disbursment of their money. I see from looking over mv filpsi of the county papers that-

report has been each signed by tb ' uoushed, .mutator and attested - .ooard of commissioners, and l beliy s to amounts they are and aafe been correct, thus placing once each year before the tax payer a fell statement of what has been done with their money. And it is th$ pnvilige of any tax-payer to examine for himself if the reports be true or false. Lawson E. McKinAv a Troftsn rer made Lo the

, , . County Board four reports ot ins work, and from those reports and the action of the Board thereon the

Auditor each year, while Mcivmney filled the office of Treasurer, published the annual report, showing all his balances as well as his receipts and disbursinent, all of which fnllv before the iiublic

as the law requires, so that all

Special Correspondence. Washington, I). C, March 21, 1884. Never before in the history of the country has a great party surrendered the presidential contest before it had been begun; but to-day we see virtually such action on the part of the Democracy. The old tub, as rotton as our navy, has foundered at last, and it gradually sinking. Suf ficicnt timbers may be saved ,to make a raft to get a few to shore, but the old craft is gone forever.

The Democratic party was ever the party of free-trade, and when Randal! and a few of his lilk, proposed

that the banner should be lowered, they were doing nothing more or less than destroying the soul of the organization, robbing it of all the vitality it possessed, and only looking to their own saf etv,they cared not the less of a penny if all went down so they were but saved. The wreck of the Democracy has caused a revival of hope in the breast of eery would-be candidate in the Republican party. It would appear that the nominee cf the party, whoever

He may be, ought to be elected, and this feeling is inducing candidates to resort to all kinds of man ce vers to secure a nomination. This is the only point of weakness in the Republican party to-day, and its representatives at Chicago must weigh this matter well. It will not do to select one for a standard beares whose friends boldly proclaim that he is their only candidate, and that any other will be by them defeated. It is not reasonable, neither is it natural, to suppose that the element announcing in advance its intention to bolt should it not succeed, will be permitted to nominate a candidate of its choice, and if by any means its candidate should be nominated, it is neither natural or reasonable to suppose the defeated element will meekly submit and walk to the polls aiul vote for the nominee of faction of self-pro-nouiii Wters.

liia iirst Timid the

William Peterson and John Huntington, James F. Manley Auditor. And all know too well the result of that bond. At the date of filing McKinney's second bond the bond was composed of Handy,Walkerand Huntington, two Democrats and one Republican. The first annual report of the Auditor, after McKinftey went into the Treasurers office, shows cash in treasury $5,028.98, county revenue. Out-standing county orders, $19,22.09; cash over indebtedness, $3,000.89, - June 1880. The annual report for 1881 showed cash on hand $14,588.81, outstanding county orders $23,087.14, leaving county in debt $7,498.33. Mr. Huntington retired Dec, 1881, William B. Baker took his place The annual reiort for 1882, June, shows cash on nands,county revenue, 23,617.81, out-standing county orders, $41,632.64 leaving the county in debt $18,064.83. Report for June 1883, shows cash on hands $14,605.20, out-standing orders $3 1,035.88 leaving county fn debt $16,43068, at which time he confess ed he was a defaulter for $10,000.00 or more. The above, to my mind, shows from 1880 to 1882 such an increase of cash in the hands of the Treasurer and so-many outstanding orders, that it should have caused the commissioners to have made a fall examination of the cash accounts of the treasurer; and if the examination had been made in September, 1881, when his second bond was filed, I for one beleive he never would have filed but one bond as Treasurer. Why this was not done no one but tne commissioners, perhaps, can ever tell. But his second liond was filed. He made no settlement at that time with himself 6r the board, and so remained & e office. With all these facts before the pe?ilo until

jUne, iOQU WIMW wuiwu c was abfcrt m9" $10,000, and ' v

that at a time when the board was in session, he was permitted to remain in the office and receive and disburse money from June 4th to

August 14th 1883, without being in any way disturbed by the law, or very much by the papers. And this at a time when ail the members of the board were simon-pure Republicans. Mr. David P. Bv.rton having succeeded Dr. Walker Dec, 1882. It has been amusing to see, sine? McKinney left, the effort of the

Courier to show that the Republican party was responsible for the default and the Telephone to show that the Demopratic commissioners were responsible. Thus showing to my mind that each was willing to blame the other and in a large manner excuse McKinney. I am sorry to see men so far depart from the right way. I believe that Lawson E. McKinney is responsible for the default but I believe also the com

missioners were nil to blame for not

having the nerve to make hini show

up the cash he reported on hands. R. A. F. REALESTATE TRANSFERS. Reported by Robert Gilmore.j Silas Grimes, sheriff to Wm, H.

The manufacturers of, and speculators in whisky knew well the law and what Mas expected of them and they should be made to comply with its provisions strictly.

which gives him an advantage that

his predecessor Le Due did not process. It is known, however, that Loring is growing a little restive in his present position, and is desirous of giving it up and seeking reelection to Congress from the seventh district of M assachusetts, now represented by Hon, E. F. Stone. The Republican Congressional Committee have established their headquarters at the building formerly occupied by the old "Metropolitan Club, on I street near the Arlington Hotel, Secretary McPherson is already busily engaged upon the preliminary work oi the committee. No request for contributions will in any shape be made to employes of the government, nor will any thing be done that will have the least seeming of a violation of thje spirit of the civilservice law.

It is generally understood that should the Fitz John Porter bili be sent to the President, it will not receive ' his signature, he believing that when. political rights were restored, all the leniency possible had been sitended in his case, and that to restore him to the Army would be subsersive of good order and dicipline and unjustified by any evidence yet presented. This is a just conclusion, and one eminently to the credit of President Arthur, who, not, alone on this question, but on all others coming before him, has shown a clearness of compre

hension, an independence of action, and an assertion of individuality that puts at rest any statement or insinuation that he is controlled by others. He is honest, self-reliant, just ; and his administration will not be alfcong the least distinguished in our history, and if accorded a new and full term, with the endorsement by the people of his first, we predict an administration of which the nation may well be proud.
