VV. L. McOaekon, Kttf., who Is no a candidate for that iifllcc In opxmltion to Mr. Strong. tn making this stajoinont, I do not mean to reflect Umui Mr. Strong, nor to Impute to him any dishonest motive In the conduct of tho ulllco he nowholil ., and to which ho seeks a re-oleelioii, hut I do so In order that the peoplo may ho able to compare Uio recoid of Mr. Strong with tho record of Mr. McCrnckori, and judge tho two candidates iHicordlntfly. Mr. McCracketi wus District Attorney of Jefferson county for tin: years IHirj, !'!):: and IX'.il. Mr. Strong has fill ! tho office during tlie years IWlfl, IfOH and thus far In 1MII7.

Thus fur for Iti7 the county has paid Mr. Strong fees amounting to the sum of I7.V(M, with the remainder of th.' year yet to be added. Should Mr. Strong receive the same ainoi.nl. of fee for December Sessions 1H!7, that ho received for December Keivii.ns, IMi.'i, which amount was :t2ii.0li, us shown hy County order No. iWZ. he will then have received In fees for his full term of three years the sum of W. t'rft.OO, nr (ild.lKI more than the full itmoi nt paid Mr. McCracken.
