Ca.mim;ell"s accounts as county treasurer liave always been correct. Dare Sherman d?nv tliis? Ik ilr. Siurman, or any other man, thinks there is anylliin- wrong in the county treasurers ollice, he is invited to investigate. D. A. Campi:kll wishes it understood that when the editor of the Journal says that he offered him money to withcraw his opposition, lie lies. In a labored interview in last night' Journal Iliggius is made t say if he could legally us county treasurer lend the county fund for the benefit of tl county he would do f o, at the same time he intimates the law will not permit it In the last legislature two bills were in troduced, attttiori.eiug the loaning of the county fund for the benefit of the county. Will the Journal please explain why Mr. Higgins made no cffoit to si that cither ol these bills passed '. Vk understand that J. M. Higgins, the candidate for treasurer on the democratic ticket, in accepting the nomination made this statement, that while he might in. be competent to fill ihe ollioe, he eoul e nrilov abk- help. Do the citizens of Cass county want to elect a treasurer 1 proxy, that is w hat tho election of llig mis means, or, will thev vote lor a m:in like D ive Campbell, w ho has a I way done his share of the work and "iven his otlice at all times his personal supervise ion. It comes from a credible source, that at a terai of court held here lately, J. M Higgins was one of the jurors, and was elected foreman, that the jury being out in a certain case found a veicict of one cent-damages, that Foreman Higgins in making up the verdict, alter three trial making it respectively, 10c, 1 and $10 gaye up and called on another juryman to make up the verdicts. And still, this is the man our democratic friends are pushing as being more competent to fill the office of countv treasurer than D;v-e Campbell. in detecting tho man who attempted to bribe C. "Whopper Sherman. Tub Journal, calls attention to the ract that Mcl'herson, the democratic can didate for register of deed, is strictly attending to his duties as deputy county clerk, an I letting the election o bv de iautc. l ins is noc tru", lis n-is oecn m every precinct m tue cou uy, ana is working evvry scheme that is possible to secure his election. II13 opponent, W. II. Fool on the le.mblican ticket, is a man better qualified in eyery way, to fdl the office. Me is one of the best, rienman iu the county, quick, accurate and honest, and should receive the full support of th8 republicans of Cass county. Xo bet ter man than AVill Pool could have been selected. il;:. Camphkll is anxious to be elected says the Journal and therefore should be defeated. "What candidate on cither ticket is thre that is not rnxious to be elected ? Tim Journal has been making a great howl about the Co. fund being deposited in bank. In a published, interview in yes tcrday's Jouiml, Higgins say he will do the same thing. Wim. C. Whopper Sherman kindly in form Ids readers whether he ever received a bribe before or not? and dees lu ex perience a more pleasing sensation from refusing u bribe than accepting one? "We understand ho has had bot!i experi There is nothing in connection with Mr. Camp! ell's conduct of the affa'rs of liia office about which be would care to Mn. CAMi'iJiiLis record is as clean as the noon-day sun, and his books are open not only to the commissioners of Cass county, but also to the public. There has always been a careful check- ng up of his books by the commissioners, one of whom is Louis Foltz, and their report has shown that they have always been correct to a cent. All thinking men of Cass county know this is true an .l they farther know that as far as competency goes, Campbell is lead an.l shoulders above Higgins. Campbell has made a good officer during his first term, always prompt, accommo dating, clever, and correct, and is cer tainly entitled to a second term, What more could the people want? lie ha done his whole duty, notwithstanding the slurs that have been thrown at him by a man who is an eye-sore to his own party, a man whom r.o ore can trust and a man who while crying boodle is making these very attacks by reason of getting some Higgins boodle, at any rate the Journal was very qniet until Hig gins put in an app:arance in Platts-mouth. The great moral(?) Sunday school f a per, the Jonrml, would not be bribed. Oh no! Yet testimony was offered and sworn to by responsible citizens of this town, before the last grand jury, show ing conclusively that this same moraI(?; Journal was subject to the control, and receiyed substantial aid from a gambling hell, which had been in operation in this city some time previous; and thattorrtrol was so complete, that this moral Jour nal wonld not publish protests against the continuance of the gambling hell until it h id consulted the gamblers and received, their consent. There is more amunitioa of thi kind to be had, and the Herald may bcrcal'ed upon to speak mor3 piidnly, giving names and dates We would advise Pinkirton's agency, however, not to cpend any money Itf the mean cowardly manner for which it is noted the Journal insinuates that D. A, Campbell offered its editor, C. W. Sherman, $100 in consideration of tho Journal ceasing to publish certain lying statements. Mr. Campbell wishes it stated that auy man who says that he ever offered cf authorczed uny one else to offer for him any money for such pur pose or for the purpose of keeping him quret about anythiugjie utters a malicious falsehood. It is in entire keeping with Sherman's whole history to find him engaged in trying to break down tho fair name of his fellow man. In this instance he will not succeed. Mr. Campbeil is too well known in this county to be damaged by any thing the Journal can say. And when Sherman says that Mr. Campbell has embezzled a penny of county orothei funds he simply lies. Mr. Campbell has made complete settlements with the c ounty commissioners as required by law and their certificates attached to his statements are the best answer that coultl be made to all lies. Ir is and has been a notorious fact that the editor of the Joum l has fought and vilified for years the best citizens of Platt-mouth. At one time and another the tiles of his paper show that ho has thrown dirt and tilth without reason ut men who have been identified with the best interests of Plattsmouth, and as far 113 his iniiendoes have affected them at least, a"e above reproach. Some of them are members of his own party, and some are members of the republican; but, in the past and to-day are as far from reproach a ul charges of malfeasance in and out of ofiiee as Sherman is beneath the no tice of iinv intelligent fair minded citizen. He has at various times attacked such men as A. P. Todd, E. S. Ground. M. 13, Murphy. A W. White, S. W. Dutton, F. M. Riehey. D. M. Jones, Dr. John Black and many others, men who have at all times been identified with the in terc.-t.s of Plaitsmouth, and have always been in the front rank of progress. It looks to us ns though the editor of the Journal has kept this fight going simply because he could not use the e men as he thought would redound to his interests; and to-day Ave believed that his unjust and unfair attacks upon Dave Campbell are identically in the same line, and are made because he can not use Campbell and probably has a contract to use llig jrins.

A M. bonds issued by this county w;ll mature in IJJ the county commissioners as the law directs, a few years ago coni- mcnceel to secure a einking f unel to have on hand to payoff the bonds as they should mature. AVhen the animount on hand rcacheel something over $10,000 the commissioners, under the law, directed the county treasurer to advertise for the best terms on which the holder of any of the bonds woulel surrender them. The holders of the bonds, it seems, con sidered them such good property that they did not care to surrender them, so no response was made to the advertisment. I'he commissioners then took unelor con- sieleration the matter of investing this sinking fund in U. S. Bouels, which the law directed niiirht be done. It was found, however, that a large premium would have to be paid for bonds bear ing a low rate of interest and the only bonds to be had were short time bonds o that in case they vcre called in the ounty would loose the premium which would exceed the interest eo this project was abandonee! anel it was then deter- nined to use the sinking funel in pay ing outstanding bridge fund warrants bearing seven per cent interest. . So they were calleel in as fast as the fund accu mulated This has resulted in a large aving to the county in interest and even i stiil greater saving in the cost of build ing bridges etc., by being able to pay cash for eve y thing, a saving of from 10 to 15 percent was made. So to all fair mineleel men it would seem that the best use possble has been maele of the sinking fuud and in :iny event the control of it lies wholly with the county commissioners. It is true, of course, that the portion of it not invested lies in the hands of the county treasurer, and in order that there may be no doubt but that it will be fortli- ceming when called upon his bond covers it the same ns any other funds in his lands. This article is written in justice to all parties and to refute lying state- statements ot the Journal. Prohibition in Iowa It is oftjn remarked by thoughtless and prejudicoel people that prohibition in Iowa does not prohibit, and that the aloons are running in open violation of the law, without the least restraint.
