issmd last Saturday and sent to the voters
of the. county as a supplement to the CituiiU,
It is the honest sentiment of men of both
parties, who urn familiar with Mr. Wars'

Ei'oknk City, Or., May 21 1SHS.
Epitoh Euuknk City Ocaiiu:
We are ou the ev of au important elec
tion. The election of the Ith of June next
is important iu s political sense, in that a
congressman, and members of the legisla
ture are to lie chosen to elect a United States
senator, who has u voice iu moulding the
policy of tho nation, llelow those positions
the election is not more important than we
have every two years. It is to the uou-polit-ieal
portion of the ticket, and particularly
to one man ou that ticket, that we wish to
draw your atteution. It is to a man that has
served the county eighteen years, and has
lUrsrn for so serving somo $S;),000 or fJO,.
000 of the peoples money, and who, we claim,
should have iu all matters sorved the county
faithfully and well iu return for the emolu
ments he has received, and for tho confi
dence bestowed npoti him. When we show
you ho 1ms failed in wore than one particu
lar to comply with the law, and that a man
datory law and a wise law, made for your
security and protection, wo certainly think
we have gone far iu showing you a man un
lit for your future suffrage aud confidence,
and that there is no political or moral reason
for supporting hiin. The first instance wo
shall call your attention to is not a new
charge at all, It has been published in the
columns of a local newspaper of this city for
some weeks, aud the party charged has not,
eauuot, aud dare not deny the violation, and
if arraigned for its violation before a oourt of
justice, as the law provides, would have to
liter a plea of guilty. The legislature of
187 passed a law requiring tho county clerk
of each county to prepare and publish n
statement twice a year of tho financial eon
lition of the county which he is serving
Who has ever seen this report? Who of
you kuow what tho financial condition of
tho county is?
Upon thorough investigation it bus been
ascertained and can be established as a posi
tive fact that ou the first day of April, 1H8S,
when the last report of tho clerk should have
been prepared and published, this oun,ty
was in debt over $'JO,(i0), aud you voters and
taxpayers were paying interest ou the same.
It is not our purpose iu this article to place
the blatuo on any one for this peculiar
liuaucial condition of Lane county. Yon
ire fully able to do that, aud it would be a
waste of space for for us to do so. It is our
purpose only to show you that it is so, and
ilnit it tew i dull of ono official of this
county to warn yon of the true oonditiou of
dl'airs. This indebtedness, if indebtedness
it cau legally bo called, was created or con
tracted in ths face of a constitutional pro
vision limiting the indebtedness of a county
to $,r),0(JO. W refer to Seo. 10, Art. XI of
tho Constitution, which roads na follows:
"No county shall create any debtsorliabil
ities, which shall singly or in the aggregate
exceed the sum of $",(K)0, except to suppress
iusiiirecliou or repel invasion."
What reason, pray we, had he for violat
ing a law, nnd keeping the people in ignor
anoe that the constitutional limit had been
psssed? It is for you to draw your own
conclusions as to what influences were at
work (to cause Mr. Ware to conceal this
large indebtedness), aud whether those in
llileuces were ou the side nf law nnd right
aud iu the interest of the people generally of
this enmity. Should ho not as a "faithful
public, servant," and one made rich in that
service, hsvo obeyed the plain provisions of
tho law requiriui' him to m ike a report, that
this open violation of constitutional law
might have been brought to your notice, so
that restraint could have been thrown around
those disposed to overburden you? The law
commanding a report of the financial con
dition of the county to be made, us we have
stated, we will bore appeuil:
AN ACT
To Provide for the Publication of a Report
of the County Finances.
Ik it Ennrtrd by tU Isg'wlntivt AsstmlUj ofi
Hit HUile of Dretji.f.
StcrioN 1. It shall lw the duty of the
county clerk of each county, on the first day
of April end the first day of Octoeer of each

county court, niid on whuf u'-count; the
amount of warrants drawn, nnd. the amount
of outstanding warrants not paid.
Skc. 'i. He shall, at the same tirus and in
the Kiiu e connection, publish a report of the
sheriff of bis county showing the amount of
money he has collected, and the amount of
warrants he has received for taxes, and the
amount of money he has turned over to the
treasurer, and the total thereof during the
past six months.
hrc. 3. He shall also, at the same time
and iu the snue connection, publish a report
of the couuty treasurer showing ths amount
of money he has received and from what
source, during the past tix months, with the
date of its receipt and from whom; the
amount of money be has paid out on war
rant and the amount of money on hand at

Skc 11. Justices of l lit peace shall have

courts.
Sic 11 It being important thut the tax
payers of this state shall he informed of their
county finances, this set shall take etfect and
be in force from and after its upproval by
the Governor.
Approved Feb. If, lSh7.
Mr. Ware has stated that the county
sherilf and treasurer have uot handed in to
him their reports and consequently ho eau
uot make one, and this has been published
in his interest on the streets and elsew here,
and in regard to the treasurer has been put
in print. What a sickening and flimsy
pretext this is for one so long in the publio
service auif so richly rewarded! What a
transparent subturfugo to hide behind! We
wish to cull your attention, those of you who
are at all familiar with the duties of county
clerk. jKtrficiiiiiy to See. 1 of this Act.
Those of you who are familiar, ss we have
stated, with the duties ami the office of coun
ty clerk cau ut once see that our language is
uot too strong in regard to this, and you also
kuow that Sea 1 refers entirely to knowl
edge peculiar alone to tho clerk's office, and
thut those records are under his control, also
that for him to show the financial Condi
tion of the couuty, and comply with the law
cited, tho reports of the shei iftor treasurer
are not necessary, and the statements to that
effect nre false, aud made to deceivo you
and hide his guilt. To those not familiar
with the duties aud o nice of the county clerk,
we will say that it is his place to keep, and
Ware does keep, a complete record of the
outstanding warrants ugaiust the county,
and all the records and data necessary to
give a complete report of the t'uiiineinl stand
ing of this ootinty, Mr. Ware cannot sue
oessfully controvert this statement, and wo
challenge him to attempt it, and ask you,
voters of this couuty, to fully investigate the
truthfulness of ths statements here made.
These facts conceded what are your duties
u the coming election? Is it to vote for
Mr. Ware who has openly violated tho law,
and betrayed tho trust reposed iu him? Not
it is your duty to condemn such conduct by
your votes, so that future officials may be
served with notice that uegligence and wil
ful violation of law will not be tolerated, but
receive merited condemnation. .
This Is for the consideration of Republi
cans, Democrats aud Prohibitionists alike,
You are nil equally interested in the wel
fare of your county, and the protection of
its interest. Will you allow a niun grown
rich in your service to violate ths law with
impunity?
Another thing wo wish to call your atteu
tion to is the illegal filing of Assessor's
private blanks by the county clerk, and to
ask Mr. Ware whore is ths law to sustain
him iu so doing, aud iu the pocketing of
$30(1 of your money annually for one day's
labor in this matter? We defyhiin to produce
the law, or to show that other clerks in this
State engage in this illegal practice. True,
there is no law saying that he shall not file
thoso blanks. True, ulso, that there is no
law saying (hat ho shall not file lust year's
almanacs, or somo of Dr. Warner's Safe
Kidney nnd Liver euro circulars. These are
as much a part of the publio records as the
assessors private blanks. Are uot the legal
emoluments of his ofilce, amounting to
$50n0 a year enough, and has he not ac
quired wealth sufficient to satisfy bis inordi
nate avarice and greed? Should not one
grown so opulent as Mr. Ware, wjth a cor
rect aud proper sense of the gratitude he
should owe to the people of this county give
them the benefit of the doubt ami kept bands
off this f .'100 a year and allowed it to re
main in the treasury, and been applied to
honest demands against the couuty? We
again call upon Mr. Ware, the alleged
"faithful public scivniit" to defend or justify
bis course in these matters, and leuve the
question to the voters of Lane county wheth
er or not his conduct shall be uppioved or
condemned.
The statements ubove made aro truths,
and will bear investigation, and we wish to
inform each and every voter of them, and
also give the voter ample time to probe the
matter to the bottom and see for himself
whether they are facts. By thus giving you
tiumly notice of the conduct of one of your
couuty officials, we also give him notice and
full time to not only meet theso statements
but to establish their truth or ful
sity. And we here state that a
copy of this letter shall bo duly
stamped and mailed to Mr. Ware, county
clerk of this county, which will come to his
notice before this reaches many of the read
ers of this letter. And we ak you, voter,
to scau every paper for his denial. We take
this method of reaching ths eople, know
ing thut newspapers may not reach yon all.
Our motive in so doing, we think too, is for
the public good. If wo show yon where an
official, faithful perhaps for years, has
proved unfaithful nt.d recreant to the trust
you reposed iu him. we think we are con
tributing to the public weal.
With this we leave the subject, again ask
ing each and every voter to carefully read
this and investigate its truthfulness.
MANY VOTERS. "
