MOR JIM, FEIDLER CAN'T WORK HIS SCHEME. The Grutre Democrat, R——— — TH URSDAY, JAN. 15, 1881, The Democratic Commissioners will not acoept Feldlors blanks. What John D, Decker lias to say about the matter Another sly game, CHAS. R. KURTZ - EDITOR LOCAL DEPARTMENT. Last week we gave our readers an account of the attempt of Jim Fiedler to work the county treasury for a $400 bill of printing. In the next issue this fellow comes out in his paper and denies the whole charge. This supplement suppresser is as slippery and slimy as an eel and can wiggle out of any hole if you give him a chance. He denies that Henderson authorized him to furnish the county with stationery ; part was printed in the Gazette office and the balance by Frank Hutters, book bindery Harrisburg, for Feidler. The work done at home was finally accepted, for certain reasons, but the balance was not, which amounted to over #400 on which there was a percentage of about #85 clear money for Feidipr and Hen- derson and that is the reason Decker refused to accept the work. The sup- plement suppresser dodges the charge by speaking only of the #80 of work done at home and forgets to mention the Hutter blanks ordered by them.
