Seeing @ leter from a correspondent signing himself “Syphex” in your paper, bringiog charges againet the Healto Officer, I beg leave to say a few words in corroboration of said charges. It is well known, and cannot be denied, that every employe of the Quarantine who could possibly be spared received passes and money from the Doctor to go aud carry the laie primary election ‘that took place there, which they did by brute foros, beat- ing severel well known citizens. It is also well knowa that Dr. Thompson would not ployment to apy one in Ceatieton without bey pledged themselves to vore the republican ticket at both primary and genera) elections, and apy of the employés of whom he wae inany way doubifal would net be allowed outside the bospital enclosure, Teould bring weverai more cbargen against the Moctor, which @ay be fully substantiaied, but thet | do BOt wink LO Lieapass 0 ) oar vauavie paper A LATE RESIDEN?
