LETTERS FROM
F~LOYD CITIZENS
Editor I lusthT uOhi’iuTcial.
“Tax Payer” in the Tribune
, of the 25th says if Sanford is de
featod “It will be by the crim
; INAL INDIFFERENCE of GOOD MEN
in this city, and by the massing
against him. of the influences
desti tn tive of tlm well being of
• the city.
To whom does “Tax Payer”
; refer to as “criminal” good
men? And what part of the
masses does he claim as “de-
I
. structive of the well-being of the
t ] community 3”
I Now the laboring men, such
as railroaders, mechanic', brick
masons, farm hands, and all of
. what is commonly known as the
! bone a.id sinew of the city and
- county go to make up the
a masses—while the “criminal,”
’• good men and the ‘Goody good
ies,” who think common people
*t or the masses are vicious, vile
s and “destructive of the well-be
ing of the comm unity.”
■ If “criminal” good men will
3 cease arrogating so great virtue
j to themselves and so little to the
■ masses and pay their taxis and
do all other acts of citizenship
properly, they would be less
8 “criminal” and more “good.”
t
“Tax Payer seems to realize
the certain defeat of Sanford and
, his indignation attributes it to
• the apathy of the “criminal”
. good men on the one hand, and
I ■ the aggressive opposition of the
m isses on the ether.
Now “Tax Payer” is evident
■ ly one of these “Goody Goodies”
who thinks all “crirnininal”
( and “destructive of the well-be
ing of the community ” who dare
vote against his pet.
Now, in my long life’s experi
ence I have ever found more
real honesty and Christian char
ity in these “m isses” than in
k all such puffed up men as “Tax
' Payer.”
again I deprecate “ Tax Payer”
(and I presume he writes under
the approval of his candidate)
striving to pit the city against
- the country and vice versa.
This is shameful. Each candi
date has friends both in the
I country and city.
'This race should be conducted
in good feeling for city and
country, so that when it is all
over we can harmonize and unite
s on the successful man.
( As a fridnd and supporter of
t John M. Vandiver, I vouch we,
e shall hear nor taste no bitter
ness or gall from him or his
friends.
Neither John M. Vandiver or
his friends are denouncing good
I iieople as “criminal,” or the
. masses as “being destructive of
I the well-being of the commu—l
nitA . ”
Who ever heard of John Van ]
diver being cruel or harsh, un-j
dind or uncharitable toward any
person or class of people? His
j great, big, kind, sympathetic
a heart, goes out to the masses,
t His purse and his time is ever at
j the disposal of those in trouble,
i lie possesses that rare, God
given combination of being gen
- tie, open and helpful, while at
the same time he ever performs
every official duty according to
law and bond.
There is no occasion for him
or his friends to cast slurs or re
flections on the “criminal”
“good” people or on the masses j
He need not light with a vicious i 1

Editor loiuo Hi 'I I.KK-*
Please allow me space j u yOQr
valuable paper to make reply tl ,
Ttx Collector Sanford’s <. l|t( L '
May 21-t and May 22st. |
to state that Mr. Sanford did
collect the special tax fr< ln t] ilr
teen liquor dealers before Anrii
Ist, 1898. 11
I read Mr. Sanford’s card of
May Ist, anti t once called hi
attention to the mistake he had
made. I staled to him that I had
paid him the special tax for I
W. Stoffregen, wh-o Wllß dojl "
business in the Pavluvski l
He begged my pardon for pul J
ting my sister’s name in t | )p
paper, and said he would go and
ask her to excuse him for it
1 desire to state that I assisted
Mr. Sanford in his race for t ax
collector, and I think he will ad
mit that I did as much, if not
more than any other one man in
Floyd county. It seems to me
that this is the way he is trying
to repay my kindness by adver
tising to the world that my sis
ter is conducting a business
without paying the special tax.
She is not selling beer, though
my brother is, ami I p a jd the
special tax to Mr. Sanford for
said business. J gave the tax
receiver’s office a check for the j
amount in January and took a
receipt for same. 1 have there- ’
ceiDt. That check wag paid at
the bank on March 31st LS9S
and shows for its self—that data
being stamped on the f ice of the
check. I showed this clietk to
Mr. Sanford after his card of
May Ist appeared.
This is the $l5O that Mr San- ]
ford, in bol h his cards, s;iy> lie
did not get. I say lie did gei it,
and 1 think the people of Flojd ]
county know me well enough to
know ihat I w-ould not say a
thing if it were not true.
Mr. Sanford certainly lias col
lected this $l5O. He certainly
got it before April 1, LS9S. lie
certainly had his attention called ]
to it after his card of May Ist
i was printed. He certainly ac
knowledged his error after see
ing the banks entry on the face
I of the check. And yet, after ac
k lowledgitig his error then, he
republishes the statement of
May Ist on May 21st. These are
ihe facts. Respectfully,
