A DEFENSE OF THE PERSECUTED COUNTY OF-
F10IALS OPON WHOM UK MAS IIXEN VENT
1N11 1I1S BriTE.
ICdilort Colombian i
As tho lovo of rcDutatlon Is commcndablo
n publlo officers, so tho defense ot them In
this particular is tho business of every man
of honor nnd honesty. Wu should run on
such an occasion, as It a public building
wcto on tire, to their roller i ana an who
spread or publish sucli detestable pieces ns
traduco their merit should bo used liko Incendiaries.
It Is notorious that the restless ambition
and subtto machinations of tho proprietor
of lho Sentinel manifestly tend to foment
divisions In tho party which honored him
with his present scat in lho Legislature.
Liko n fallen woman, this foul ulcer upon
tbo body politic of tho county, this nows
paper scab, can concclvo of no other way
of diverting tho publlo attention from his
nefarious and dishonest acts of uiu past,
present and In contemplation, than by seek-
dc to drai: down to bis own level tbu repu
tation ot our present Register and Record
er, nnd Prothonotary.
When wu consider tho miio ot llltu, deg
radation and nastincss In which he has his
being) when wo recall how, In his past
political contests, ho has seduced and cor
rupted lho electors of lho county j while
the memory is fresh in our minds of tho
fact, that ho took tho oath of office la tho
face of tho sworn affidavits ot rcDUtablo
citizens that ho had used money In seeking
to scctiro votes by bribery, and then, ban
ishing every indication of shame, gloried in
his ignominy, wo aro not surprised that,
lost to nil sense of virtue, his foul and fes
tering tongue, dripping with gall and aqua
fortis, dictates the pen which seeks the
vilification ot such of tho public officers as
win not become his pliant tools, lo mo
credit of lho free electors of tho county, a9
a manifestation of tbelr belief in tbo honesty
of tho nrescnt Prothonotary, and Hcglster
nnd Recorder, ns well as a scathing rebuke
to, and condemnation of Krlckbaum nud
his methods, these gentlemen wcro noml-
ntcd and elected to their present offices in
tho face of his most bitter and malignant
opposition.
Having thus set forth tho animus of the
creature-, we deslro briefly to rcfutoeomeof
the calumnies with which bo nils bis paper
and poisons the sweet wells of language.
or tbo moro ready Krasn ot tho under.
standing of tho readers ot this commun'ca
tlon we shall meet tho attack upon each ot
these officials separately, though the same
matter Is pertinent to both cases.
Through the elloris ot liucituaum last
December, a new man, U. Clarence Freas,
Ignorant of the duties ot his position, was
appointed Auditor ot tho accounts of tho
public officers. This was done contrary to
the custom which liaB prevailed In this
county for years past, of giving tho audit
twice in succession to tue same person,
thereby securing every second year, at
least somo ono who waa conversant with
the duties of tho appointment, Mr. Frcas,
being the creation of Krickbaum, was at
once moulded into suitable shape for the
purpose ot carrying out tho schemes ot
petty Bplte which continually revolves in
bis master's bead. Dominated uy ivncK
baum, tho new Auditor entered upon the
discharge of his duties with the assumption
that all his predecessors in the nuico uau
either discharged Its duties iguorantly or
dishonestly. Swollen with thu fancied im
portance of being proclaimed a reiormcr,
tho poison of which idea had been poured
into his atlcntlvo car by Krickbaum, ho
weiu to tho office of the Register and Re
corder, Mr. Charles H. Campbell. Here,
although it was his duly lo uo so, lie mane
no inquiry as to the expenses ot tho office,
but having finished his task to hl own sat
isfaction and in lino with tho suggestions
of his boss ho reported lo the Auditor Gen
eral, staling that the work of the office was
such that it could bo performed by one man;
that no deputy was needed, nnd that tho
sum of $250 was amply sufficient clerk biro.
The Incorrectness and injustice of such a
report mus tbo apparent to auy one convers
ant at all with the multiform duties which
Mr. Campbell, acting in tho two offices ns
Register and uccorder, is cauea upon lo
perform. During the term of tho prior in.
cumbent of these offices two, and at times,
three assistants were employed, and at no
time in tho history of lho county has mo
office been run without a deputy. In feet,
when by a visit of Mr. Campbell to Harri?
burg, tho matter was takon up by tho
Auditor ticncral, the State official at onco
set the report aside with tho following
nert uent remarKs: "uoes your uouri ap-
nolnt an Auditor to set the salaries of tho
employees of tho county officials? The
Auditor must lie an ass j uou'i uo Know
vou uro required by law to keep a deputy?"
Evidently neither his boss, a maker ot laws,
uor the Auditor, an attorney at iav, Knew
of the renulrcment. or else tho assinine
nature of their beings so predominated that
thev thorn-lit to override tho vcrv law itself.
Having so expressed himself, tho Auditor
uenerai directed air. uampuen, ami .nr.
Snveler who accompanied him, to return
home and prepare and sena 10 mm a buiiv.
ment of the fees aud expenses of their sov,
ernl offices.

After having sent in Ills statement .Mr.
Campbell wrote to the department that by
sneclal contract with the printer ho had In
fact only paid $1.00 per account, or $85 QO
in all. Upon this intcrmatlon the Auditor
General cut down the claim ot $212.50 to
$85 03. In this wo think that high official
was in error. An officer is entitled to all
the fee allows, ho must demand no more
and should receive no less. But whether
the Auditor General erred or not In cutting
down tho chargo for advertising, no Impn
tation can rest upon Mr, Campbell. Uo
made out his statement in accordance with
tho fee bill and sworo to It as a "correct
statement of the fees and expenses ot tho
olllco of Register of Wills,
&c." When Mr. K., in his article or Dec.
13th says, "tho affidavit was untrue," and
by innuendoes would lead tho public to
look unon Mr Campbell as a perjurer, he
but shows his lack of every sentiment of
honor and reveals himself In his true char
acter as a dlsclnle aud legitimate offspring
r Ananias. The cuargo oi vu, which was
allowed, was lho sum paid by Mr. Camp
11 to Geo W. BU'rner for his commission,
for which Mr. Campbell possessed receipts,
but which tho Auditor decided coiiid not
bo allowed under the head ot "lees and ex
penses." In this Mr. Campbell was honest
ly mistaken, as mauy others have been In
inauing up their accounts to ue passcu upon
by superior officers.
Bui not content with lying insinuations
of perjury, Mr. K., in thu samo nrtlclo
hows uia biaiuni, uiuer.ucarieu ueinugo -

beat thu State, but thu people should seu
that thu county Is protected." Wherein
lho couniy is lo uo injured uy mo ui i renu-
red to the Auditor Uenerai either by thu
Prothonotary or Register of ills wo fail
to sec.
As the Auditor General allowed tho full
claim of W. II. Snyder, tho Prothonotary,
less thu costs of his commission 9UU.4U,
that of itself is a sufficient answer to tbo
attacks ot Mr, lv. through his sheet, and
conclusive proof of tho lujustlce dono Mr.
I lie question ot thu uianus, snui 10 uic

up n air. lv's arucio ot iNov. autu, auu
altera lot of twaddle covering two col
umns of tho "Sentiuel," which few p.'ople
will have tho patience to read, ho gives
sevvU icasons why tbo bills oi uieseoiuccrs
for tho blanks sold by them should not be
allowed. Let us examine some of these
reasons In their order, Mr. K, says "1st
Tho act li unconstitutional, lu that nn offl.
cer's compensation cannot bo raised or re
iluced during ins term oi oiucc. uus act
became a law on thu 25th of April, 1889,
and provides, "That from and after tho
oassagu oi tins aci, uic tiotinty uoinmis
sioncrs of the several counties of the Com.
monweallh shall, at tho proper cost ot tho
rtspcclivu counties, iiirnisu mo oinco lurni
ture, books and stationery required tor
each of tho county officers hereafter nam?
ed. whose offices am locitcd in the county
buildings at lho county seat, natnelyi Pro.
thonotary, Clerks of the suveral Courts,
Register uf Wills, Recorder ot Deeds,
Commissioners . and Treasurer; also, all
needed fuel and' light." This Is thu law of
tho State, and will remain so until repealed
bv somo subsequent legislature, or declared
unconstitutional by some competent tribu
nal. As Mr. K. Is neither tho Biinrcmo
Court nor learned In tho law, nnd ns ho has
so frequently manifested tho entire absence
nf tholart, or slx'li, sense which goes to
mako up a complete man, It Is to bo pre
sumed Hut the Commissioners felt safer In
acting upon lho ndvlco of their counsel,
learned In tho law, than upon that of n le
gislator whoso Ignoranco of tho law Is no
torious. Under this net, tho officers of Lc
high, Lancaster, Lycoming and other
counties liavn been treated In tho ssmn
manner by their Coinmlsloners n our of
ficials have by tho Commissioners of this
county,
"2nd. Tlicso officials arc already compen
salcd largely In excess of what they could
earn at any legitimate business." if this is
so, tho remedy lies In an ct of Assembly,
nnd ns tho Hon (?) Mr, K. Is a member ot
that body, lie should at onco see t It. By
tho way, gauged by tho standard ho sets
up, what should Bill's compensation ns a
legislator be? This would bo hard to ar
rive at. since It Is so long since ho tins fol
lowed any "legitimate" business, or any
business 'legitimately." Tho fnrmfcrs.
who remember his voto In tho Interest of
tho railroads for tho rep al of tho fence
law, would like to know how big n plum
tho corporat'ons gave William. They
would also liko to know whether $1500 for
about four months attend nc at Harris,
burg, $50 tor stationery during that tlmo,
$100 for postage Bnd an additional sum for
mileage, isn't somewhat In excess of what
William can cam at any leglllmato calling?
Tho 3rd reason, viz: "The act does not
Intend tho old and worthless blanks on
hand should bo paid for," is without force,
as no such blanks were paid for. Tho
proof of this assertion nppears from the
very fact that tho commissioners after pur
chasing these blanks from tho Prothono
tary and Register and Recorder used them
to supply these officers under the law pass
ed. Tbo only question Is, were tho blanks
bought by the Commissioners at a fair fig
ure? They paid Mr. Campbell $20.1? for
blanks, and $10 25 for envelopes, Ink,
piper, Ssa , In all $43 03j this was Just 25
per cent, less than coat price. And they
paid Mr. Snyder $100 for blanks which coat
$t5t, or nearly 33 per cent, leas th.n cost.
Now tlicso were buslnrsa transactions; ths
Commissioners wcro not compelled to buy of
theso officers, but it Is to bo presumed that,
having tbo best interests ot tho county nt
heart, they made Inquiry aud found that
they could not go to n better market. It
la much to be regretted that Mr. K., who
thought ho held thu Board of County Cora
mlssloncrs In leading strings, should thus
loso a fat printing job; but, bo honest Will
lam, and own that you have often of lalo
realized that "the be9t laid plans of mlco
and men aft gang nglec." "Hub Rosa"
William, thcro are men in tho printing
craft who would not hesitate to call you a
"rat."
"4th, They havo already mado their
claim on tho State for their blanks bought,
and were allowed tho full amount." This
la a direct lie, and tho wayfaring man
though a fooi need not bo deceived therein.
A moment's thought will show him that
tho Prothonotary and Register and Record
er wcro simply allowed bv tho State for
their blanks of last year, as only tho ac
counts for that year were, passed upon.
The blanks, &c, sold to the Commission
era were tho purchase of tho present year
and will not appear in mo seiucmeui oi
tho nccounts of this year ns a claim on tho
Slate. Tho expense of blanks, &C, under
tho lato net being placed upon tho com
mlssloncrs, will censo to bean Item of ex
penso In tho accounts of the other officials
of the court house. Just nt this point, to
correct an erroneous Impression which
may havo fastened upon somo minds from
reading Mr. K's article, wo desire to in
form the readers ot this communication,
that instead of not having paid any tax to
tho State, Mr. Snyder, the Prothonotary,
paid upon writs tho sum of $202.11, and
ilr. Campbell, tbu Kcgisicr anu necoruer,
tho sum of $475.80.
The balance of the reasons urged by Mr.
K. being a tissue of transparent falsehood,
call for no attention.
To give an idea of lho valuo of tho
blanks in these offices, wo hero inform our
readers when Mr. Snyder succeeded Mr. K.

and Register and Recorder acted
fairly in this matter ot blanks, &c, but
they have noi even laid ciaim 10 uiai iu
which thev are legally entitled. It will bo
seen that they havo been furnishing their
own blanks up to tho 23rd of August,
whereas thev were entitled to them from
tho Commissioners from the date of lho ap
proval of the act. tho 25lh of April, or a
ncriod of four months: i. e. tno samo
length of tlmo for which Jlr. K draws
$150 from the Statu for stationery and post
acre.
We havo several rods in picnic lor uic
Hon. (?) K., but as our communication has
already crown lengthy we shall hold them
1 n i reserve. From thorough acquaintance
with Mr. Campbell and air. Snyder we
feel confident that our nssertlon that they
are gentlemen, both in nnd out of ouicc,
will bo p.ndnracd bv nil rlghl-mlndcd clti-
Z2ns. They aro men of correct moral and
domestic habits, nav their honest bills and
never seek to cheat llielr employees or the
workingman of bia wages. They don't
steal bouds, alter records or dlscouut sheep
orders. They don't get drunk, and they
never turn their places of business into
gambling rooms.
