And such information about OLD GAME OF or Glassman and his twin papers, the Standard and Examiner, ar having a desperate time finding ground upon j which to defend th libel suit brought by C. C.

They hare spent the year raking the county rec- - i ord with a fine tooth comb to find some Irregular or dishonest act, hut when all has been scrutinised most , .carefully, they are unable to find a ingle item, and so, by misrr presen ta- tlon and falsehood, tney have filed a lot of their own scurrilous publics- - j tlons and added misrepresentations of law to facta found In an unconscionable effort to Justify tlielr attitude before the public. The following to an epitome of the acts charged as being Irregular and dishonest: First. That. In 1877 Mr. Richards, who waa but II years of age at the time. Induced Joseph Stanford, who was then an active merchant, and in the very prim of life, to become a candidate for county recorder, and tlcta-ard- s) when elected to appoint him hto chief deputy and permit .him to conduct the affaire of the office. It seems that Mr. Stanford waa elected, and appointed Mr. Richards hto deputy, but whether he paid the deputy a pan or the whole of the fees for hto services to a matter of no concern to the public, aa the law permitted th recorder to make such of them as he thought beet. There was no law 111 the territory upon that subject, and no law was violated thereby. Feoond. Mr. Richards to charged, s hlla county clerk, with having presented to the county court for allowance, claims that had not been sworn to by him and of permitting the claims of others to be presented In the same way. When it to remembered that Mr. Richards resigned the clerk's office on May 1, 1481. and that until on month later (Juno 1) there waa no law even authorising, much less requiring, the verification of such claims it will readily be seen that there was neither dereliction of duty nor dishonesty In this matter.
