Buch is the business method practiced by liim tbat he can turn at any timo to bis books and (ind therefn recorded any transaetion running back through bis official term. The story Bel afloat by the friends of Mr. (Mark, that Mr. Duffy Will not if elected personally attend to tbe duties of the position, bas been denied in these columns upon anthority of Mr. Duffy himself. Tbat bngbear bas been exploded. The otber canard, tbat Mr. Duffy lias been in yearly receipt of a large salary as superintendent of the poor, bas been proven false upon investigation.

He never voted for ;i democrat and never expects to, but hé is hoping democrats' wül do for him what he would persistently refnse todo for them. He has contributed money to help elect Garfield and Arthur, the repnblican state, congressional, and eounty tickets. Ilis strongest desirc is to see eaeft and erri democratie candidate defeated on ïnesday next. lïis vote will be cast to aceomplish fchia result.
