Wo beard a few days ago a km--t of
supervisors, including men of both parties,
talking about Mr. Raymond, and tho mb
stanco was about this: That with the
heavy drafts upon the county titrsury
during the last fow years, connected with
the erection of the new court house and
jail,, they were unable to see how the coun
ty could possibly have got along without
the aid it derived from tho high financial
standing. and skill and the consummate
management ol lr. County Treasurer Ray.
' mond. Often when large sums were indis
pensable to keep the work m motion, and
the treasury empty, he not only through his
shrewdness and the unlimited confidence
bankers and moneyed men placed in his
word and judgment, was able to pllct the
board out of its diflicultics,but in many cases
met immediate and pressing necessities by
advances from his own means or ruising
money on his own responsibility without
expense to tho couuty.
"Why," said 0110 supervisor enthusiasti
cally "the people of this county have no Idea
how much they owe to the highstanding, up
rightness. Integrity and financial skill cf
Mr. Raymond. If they did they would as
ore man vote tor his re-election. I dou't
see how the county could have weathered
the last two years without him. As this is
the last time the people of the county will
ever have an opportunity to vote for him,
they ought in common gratitude to give
"aim sucn a ooom as wfli snow that they
appreciate such rare worth and singular
fidelity to public trusts."
There was a time during and soon after
the war when the treasurer of this couity
handled sums and was laden with responsi
bilities somewhat comparablo with those
with which Mr. Raymond has been charged
during the last low years, but then tho ray
of the county treasurer was such that at the
end of a single term ho could retire with a
modcralo fortune. The pay ol Mr. Ray.
mond, for services tor which no railroad
corporation would offer him less than four
or five thousand a year, has avcragcd,-we
believe, about two thousand a year. There
are store clerks in Ottawa that receive
nearly as good pay.
ALL RIGHT, MS, WITTE.
It seems the Fiiee Trader, in attsmpt
ing on Saturday to state the position of the
German papers of this city with regard to
the various political tickets in the field,
was in error in representing the Wschcn
blatt as supporting three candidates cn the
Republican ticket, videlicet Johu C.
Smith, Anton Hirkenbeuel and Thomas
Clark. Mr. Wltte, editor of the Woehcn
blalt, in a card in ono ot tho little dailies,
corrects us in this way:
Under tho heading of "Shullling and
Dickering," tho Free Trader of this
morning endeavors to give its readers an
insight into tho relations of the German
papers of this county to the respective
tickets. Allow me to state that as fur as
tho Worhenblatt is concerned, the aged
editor of tho Free Trader falsities the
record, whether purposely or from ignor
ance of the Germau language I don't
know. The Woehenblatt said : "Of course
there are honorable exceptions, of which
wo need only mention John C. Smith,
Thomas Clark and Anton Birkenbcuel.nnd
we feci sure that these gentlemen will tind
supporters among the Germans, but, as al
ready stated, the republican ticket as a
whole smells too strongly ot 'muckerdom'
to please us or other liberals." The
WoefuiMntt has never tied its kite to tho
tail ot either party, and claims tho right to
have its say as an independent paper; but
if the aged editor aforesaid docs not under
stand German enough to correctly repre
sent our words, I would kindly advise
him to keep his nose out of discussions
that can only serve to prove his ignorance.
Isn't this language a little ijrob, friend
Wiltc? Our error appears to liavo been In
drawing tho inference from tho Woehen-
blatt't "honorable exceptions" in behalf of
Messrs. Smith, Birkcnbcuel and Clark that
it meant to bo understood as supporting
them. We are happy to find that In this
we were in error, and that the real mean
ing of tho M'ocluniblatt was, that though all
the candidates on the republican ticket
were not temperance fanatics, yet, a a
trb'fc, the ticket smelt so strongly of
"muckerdom," that the IVocheubbitt could
support no part of it
This relieves us of our especial attuni-h-ment
that the Woehenblatt should fall in
with the Uerold in its quixotic support of
Clark agaiust Mllllgan for sheriff, for we
supposed Mr. Witte, of course, with every,
body else, understood tho motive of the
IleroUTi opposition to Mr. Milligan, and
that the Wothtnblatt should allow itself to
be used to further a shabby little frame
like that seemed to us most strange and
unaccountable. While the above lsnj; isge
of Mr. Witte docs cot, perhaps, auihzo
tis to enrol him among the active support-
ers of Mr. Milligan, we are warraated at
least in drawing from it tho satisfactory
assurance that it is impossiDic tor una 10
support Mr. Clark.
Cases of rare meanness aro not unconi-
on in politics, but when it comes to some.
thine absolutely ainazlne In that line, cou
nted with phenomenal brasslness, tho crea
ture Stone, of tho Marseilles lighter, takes
the cake, in finding fault with a local co.
teranorarv for sunnortiiiff Mr. Milligan for
sheriff, this animal has tho cheek tosiiy
Wo think it illy becomes a man who has
always claimed to do a uepuumcau, to

up.
hold such a man as Milligan, whose record
was unfurled two Years aco and showed
very plainly that he was a defaulter, and
nnirniiht tfm atiimnrt nf nnv honorable
man. The charges made by this ana omcr
uunviiui i t - j
Snpers two years ago, are sun ueiu bkiusi
lilligan.
Reference here is had to an outrageous
campaign lie ot which this burlesque o
humanity was tho author in tho campaig
two vears airo. to the effect that Mr. Mill
(-an. while sheriff awav buck in 103. h
aal
collected certain witness fees which he had
not paid over. Fortunately for Mr. 31 ill I
can at tho time, though IS years had
elapsed sinco ho had been sheriff, he had
retained the receipts in lull for all the fees
he was charged with having retained, so
that he was able to cram tho lie down the
throat of the Marseilles blackguard in a
wav that any creature possessing ordinary
human instincts would havo remembered
all his life afterwards with humiliation
and shame. Yet after such a crushiug and
overwhelming exposure of his mendacity,
lira this thing has the astounding cheek
to refer to that falsehood. We can under
stand it is a part of the frailty ol poor
human nature when a convicted burglar
boasts of his achievements as a cracksman
and so it would be comprehensible it this
mud slinger Stone boasted of the lie he
propagated had he made it stick; but that
he should boast of it after it was so etlect-
ually and conspicuously crammed dewn
his dirty throat two years ago is ono of
those weird psychic phenomena no philos
opher can grapple with.
SOT BO, SIB!
The "only responsible editor" of the Ot-
tawa fiepubliean fibs recklessly when ho
says the Freetrader "flies into a passion
and denounces without stint the two Ger
man papers" of this city. The Free
Trader stated fairly and in temperate
anguare what it understood to be the po
sition of the papers iu question towards the
various candidates in the field in this
county, and then very mildly ridiculed, it
is true, but certainly did not "abuse," with
or without stint, the editors for what seeui-
od a rather pompous assumption to speak
by authority for the German voters of the
county.
There is certainly no reason why the
Free Trader should abuse its esteemed
cotemporaries of the local German press,
whom it recognizes as co-workers in sup
port of Democratic principles. What wo
were inclined to remonstrate about with
them was, their apparent disposition to cut
one or two candidates on the Democratic
ticket for no tangible reason they seemed
aOlO Oi nuiiug Auigu. it uMfh-u
ever, that so far at least as one of them is
concerned, we were in error and that he has
no purpose to cut or oppose oven one can
didatc upon the Democratic ticket; and
ws Indulge tho hope, that before election
day the other will find the pressure of his
German brethren so strong in the opposite
direction, that he will be quite willing to
slacken up in his quixotic opposition to
the Democratic candidate for Sheriff.
A HUMOROUS CAMPAIGN BOOK.
Tho big daily press, of both parties, in.
eluding such papers as the New York Pott
and Timet, the Chicago 1 ribune, Albany
Journal, ic, are having all sorts ot fun
over the campaign book recently issued by
Jay llubbcll's Congressional Committee
and paid for out of the pennies wrung
from the poor clerss, janitors, and scrub
women in the employ ot the government.
Says one of these papers: "Let there be no
more complaint that the book publishers
have been remiss ot late is not issuing
anything humorous. The ' Republican
Campaign Text Book for 1882,' just issued,
is positively the funniest book that has ap
peared in a decade."
Tho book opens with a chapter on the
"Spirit of the Solid South," on which the
N. Y. Herald remarks : " Of the republi
cans who sympathize with the spirit to
which the party owes its existence, one
half will laugh at this chapter, and the
other half will swear at It." After giving
few extracts from a few injudicious
southern speeches and newspaper editorials
and some loose statements about ballot-box
stu tiers is Mississippi (nothing about those
in Philadelphia), It closes with a thrilling
report of a representative southern murder.
Then comes a chapter on "S-Uthern
Claims," no mention being made, however,
of some ten millions of such claims being
allowed by Republican Congresses and
none while the democrats were in the ma
jority ; yet mention is made of one wicked
southern mail contractor's fraud, although
tho mint discreet silence is maintained
about the mail frauds of the variety known
as tho "btar route."
"The roaring fun," however, says the N.
Y. JeraUl, in a somewhat lengthy notice
of tho book, "comes in under the head of
'Political Assessments.' This is Mr. Hub
bell's own topic and in spite of the great
blackmailer's modesty and courtesy in at
tributing the entire book to Mr. William
K. Kbit, librarian of the department of the
interior, his own deft hand, humorous
mind and lofty contempt for the amenities
with which civilization has endeavored to
stifle Itself, are manifest on every page."
After effectually chawing up Mr. George
William Curtis as the "Joseph Surface of
Civil Srrvico Retorm," it refers to tho
threat of his Civil Service Reform Society
to prosecute the office holders for submit
ting to assessment in the following byfalu
tin style:
- Is not that the very genius of torture T
The genius of the inquisition ? The genius
of an oligarch like a Boisgullbcrt or Front
du Iiocuff ? All sympathy for their op
pressed condition, all commiseration tor
their wires and children, are extinguished
by the crime of thus contributing and
they and their families roust expiate their
outrccuidance (hurrah!) in dishonor und
misery in the penitentiary and almshouse!
Viet Curtis and Wade Hampton!
Curtis and Jeff Davis!
The "hurrah," says tho Herald, in copy
ing tho above, "is our own; wo could not
help it, but for tho grammar, orthograghy
and punctuation Mr. llubbcll deserves the
entiro praise.'1
Tho climax ss reached, however, w hen
Mr. Hubbell, to disabuse the public tniml
that Mr. Garfield was a civil urn-Ice rt
former, has the chuck to publish the fol
lowing letter to the contrary:
Mentor. Ohio. Auirust '.M. 1SS0.
My dear H n bb II :oir. of tho llUh
inst. is received. Please say to lir.uly that
1 hope ho will give us all the assistance
possible. I think he can help effectively.
1'leaso tell me how tho departments nre
generally doing. As ever yours,
J. A. Garfield.
How this can please the hundreds i f
thousands of rcpublieuus who distinguish
between the late President's principles mid
practice, and in favor of the foi nicr, is hai l
to see, but a joke is a j.ike, and Garfield
republicans will have to grin and be n- it.

Railroad companies are very peculiar
and have very peculiar ideas of tho rights
of ticket holders. One day last week Hen
ry Walther. of this city, went to Chicago
via tho Rock Island road on business,
using a 1.1K10 mile ticket. Tho next day
he started for home and presented the same
ticket, (over a hundred miles remaining,)
whereupon the conductor refused to honor
it, and pocketed it and demanded the fare
in cash. Mr. W. was willing to pay when
he reached Ottawa, not having sufllcienf
change with him; but Mr. Conductor was
imperative in an immediate compliance
"or off you go.'' Finally the passenger
borrowed of another Ottawa man the re
quisite sura and paid tho money. The
conductor then punched tho remainder of
tho 1,000 miles full of holes aDd returned
it to -Mr. Walther. He pave as his reason
tor the course that the ticket had expired
and was no longer good. Tho fact is, it
was purchased October 15, 11, and was
supposed to be good for a year, but the
cancellation showed u lo De goon to me
1st only. The company havo been called
upon to explain why their men do busi
ness in that manner.
Heard's famous New Orleans Minstrels
all black are booked for Saturday night,
the 14th inst. They claim to have a strong
company of twenty all born Africans
and give a genuine negro minstrel show,
with full darkey accompaniments. They
have put their admission prices low fifty
cents down stairs and thirty-five in the
gallery, and deserve to have a full house
at these prices.
Onto asd West Yiiwisia held state
elections yesterday. The latter sf'e is ex
pected to go Democratic ot course, but in
Ohio the highest expectations of tho Dein
ocrats aro to gain two or three congress-
men. There is no legislature to elect, and
have made the issue on the Pond liquor
bill and thereby lose the German vote,
though they expect to niako up lor more
than that in the rural districts. Foster,
who has canvassed the state thoroughly,
predict a republican victory by 15,000
majority. We shall see. There had been
no dispatches received when we went to
press last night.
