Just think of it, if by reason of oversight, and errors in the accounts of the Poor House, eight or ten thousand dollars can leak out, in spite of all the efforts of three Democratic Directors and three Democratic Auditors and a Democratic Poor House Clerk, &c., how much may have leaked out in the County accounts?—Inquirer.
"Still harping on my daughter!"
It so happens that between THREE and FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS "leaked out" during the time of Messrs. SHUCK and TROUT, Republican Directors, part of it during the time of Henry B. Mock, as Auditor, who now leads the Radical party in St. Clair tp., and that the Poor House Clerk was appointed by a Republican board. By all means, let the dear people accommodate the Inquirer by ousting the present Democratic board who discovered and corrected the "leaks" which commenced under the Republican Directors. That would only be Radical justice.
