written by a visitor of that time paraphrased "the person running being venal as sin, having no experience in law making or statesmanship and not wanting the $2 a day stipend to go to anyone else is elected by promising to spend no money on government services such as roads, civil defence or common good, these candidates are invariably elected by deceit and connivance of an ignorant population." cool, things havnt changed since the late 1790's
thanx,
