reader is able to see that iiVour article 1
hist Aveelc showing EdTslluplieiiy but r
two points lo vbe brought 1 3
out viz First Ed Clarke wa iustru jjt
mental in having a cert iin bunch of
cattle which he represented as belong- ti
ing to J M Shivinattaclued for luxes
Second he anneared a counsel for W ii
b Jones who replevined the cattle on v
tlie plea that the title tothcui luid not p
ret passed toSlavhiahtl won his case l
thus throwing tho cosls 7000 on the
county Mr Thackrcy in his letter
says -
Mr Clarke stated he had seen cat
tle unloaded at Irwin and was informed
thev were to be turned in on Slavins
contract
This is a half admission of point
number one- Again
Mr Tucker got Mr CJlarketa assist
him in the defense
Another half admission you see
Will Mr Thackrey ddnynhe follow
ing charge r
Ed Clarke was to a great -extent the
cause of the distress warrant against
Slavin being issued giving as his ex
cuse for being interested that upon
several occasions while he was county
attorney attempts had been made to
collect this Slavin tax later when
Jones replevined the cattle from Amos
Strong Sher ff and J E Thackrey
Treasurer Etl Clarke appeared as at
torney for said Jones and had the costs
of suit taxed to the county
This is our charge The case is a dirty
one At the time of its occurrence
W S Barker J E Thackrey Judge
Walcott and other republicans were
loud in denouncing Clarke for his work
Voters can you trust a mail to be your
prosecuting attorney who will do such
a thing Will any self respecting at-
torney condone such a trick Follow
ing is a letter from Commissioner
ParKer
WooDLakk Neb Oct 24 1803
Editor Western 2N avs Democrat
You asking for tho particulars in regard to
the Slavin tax case atrhand and I will explain
why the commissioners tried to recover delin
qlleilt taxes Irom Slavin
P Sullivan commissioner- stated lo me that
Ed Clarke had told him that Slavin had stock
n the westernRartotf the county that could be
levied unon - m
This was afterwards brought up in board
meeting when Ed ClarTtr was present and he
confirmed the6tatcmentAn it was decided to
have the treasurer collect the taxes bj distress
warrant
We were Surprised at the next meeting to lind
that the county had lost tlie case had 7000 in
costs to pay and that Ed Glarke had acted as
attorney for ihe defendant I asked him why
lie did so and he said that he -saw an opporr
tuuity to make some monejAvhichJie needed
He did not claim it was Judge Tuckers case
and that he acted in theabsoncc of the judge
but that he thought it auhouorable means ot
obtaiuing money
As for Mr Clarke personally I have nothing
but friendly feelings but you ask fbr the facts
and I give the reasons lor trying to collect taxes
from a man who has always been represented
as a continual lax-shirker- - Yoir truly

Commissioner Sullivan The first says
I met Clarke oil tile street jiwfc after getting
into town and before 1 had gt to the clerks
otlice aud he told me about Slavin having the
cattle and that there was no question about the
ownership I toldJiim that if such was the
case I would have the treasurer send out a writr
of attachment but did not go to the treasurers
office that evening- and when I did o in the
piorning found he had alread issued the writ
upou Clarkes information I understood Dur
ing the day Clarke came to the commissioners
ofilce and made practically the same statement
I thlnk all members of the board vero present
and I aur positive he saidthere was no question
about the Ownership I remarked that the old
man Slavin had nothing in his name and
Clarke replied no he has not but the taxes
and cattle are all in the sons name I have
not seen th article in the liepublican
The second letter says
I have just read the article in the liepublican
and Ipronouuce it a wilful and malicious false
hood so far as my name is connected with it
Clarke broachedlhe matter tome before I got
to the hotel as 1 stated in my other letter 1
have never stated to Carkeor anyone elsethat
Slavin Avassh iping cattle iuto the coutity or
owned any in the county in fact I thought he
did not have aiything that the county could get
So far as I know the warrant was taken out
after Clarke saw me in theiovening and before
1 got to sec the treasurer next morning without
any consultation with rae which ofcourse he
had a right to do as the board always allowed
the treasurer to issue a warrant when he asked
to All this talk 6f two -or three weeks before
it was issued is all bosh 1 know nothing
about Skiviu offering or going to draw a check
audi reiterate that Clarke stated to me that
there was no question but Slavin owned tlie
cattle P SurwvAK
couple our heartiest congrattilationsf
and hope their lives may be long a nd
filled with joy
