Robert Stoops and the Bridge Question.
Is Robert Stoops for bridges across our rivers, or is he against them? We are credibly informed, that John Samuels made a speech in Butler township last week, in which he unequivocally stated, that Stoops was opposed to the county building bridges, unless a majority of the people vote for them. We are told that Mr. Goff, of Springfield township, enquired of Mr. Stoops how he stood on this question, and that he made the same statement to him. About Brookville, and among the people interested in bridges, the understanding prevails that Mr. Stoops is distinctly in favor of county building bridges. Who can tell on what ground the gentleman stands?
