The question finally resolves itself, as stated above, into this: Either you charge and be lieve that these regularly constituted ee whose duty it is under the Car.y-Co:hra!, Act to enforce the hIv. have failed to do so, or there is n n.-es-ity for the appointment of abli *r t.his county. aI- n it her one or the - -.- i+it-ms. .nd I shall :eh ever one T.b it u cessarv. n be laid upon the tax - courtv 7is ufiele:niv elear a.:d courteous that it he ecesar :C prsue the : e n.I dezsife tL- say that econ:.m so far I I:r. c:.ee ard I tink my :e :will bear e a ent that I was *:. .o' I'w members who endeav .e M. hd down the appropria : a: we miht reduce the ev botha state and county and raise Z1fficrit money to meet the expenses of the "overnment.
