racter of whole political course gives them The he
better than. any fern Of words can do it. But JUS
tice to others may require something more. The
Organ says
We are able to show and to prove that the editors
of the Sentinel unhesItatingly and unbushingly de-
serted the party and sacrificed wherever they could
make vote for Stewart whom they regarded as friend
ly to their preensions to the Office of State Printer
The FIRST part CT this assertion we will summarily
dispose Of by pronouncing it base and infamous LIE
We dare and defy its author to produce his pretended
proof. As to Stewart and the State Printing, we
said word to him. he TO u.s. directly or ind-
recty as to the course he would pursue; and man
in the county of Marion can be produced who viii be
base enough to publish under his name, state
ment that we ever eecioneered for Stewart on such
ground or that we urged limited that he should
be supported the expense of the of the ticket
The Morrison gang took it into their heads that he
scoHd vote for us, and that, together with Hanna's
supposed pledge 10 them, is probably the why
they printed the spurious tickets for the latter 1t is
the reason also, why, while they expressly exempt
Mr. Stewart himself from any participation in such
iniquity, they associate him Intimately with the
alleged perpetrators that none believe the charge
without believing him have been involved in the
iniquity. If such charge had proceeded from an
avowed Wing, we should not be surprised; but even
Wings will neither make it believe it. Stewart
ran ahead of his party vote. The official returns, in
another column will show this. And one of the
reasons why he did So was the fact that many wings
had no confidence in Gen. Hannas political integrity
Many voted for him with great reluctance; some
would not vote at all for him, and some gave their
votes to Stewart
This is the reason why Stewart was elected; and
is the reason why his of exceeded that of
the candidates for Representatives who were beaten.
The organ asserts that report said they (the Rep
sentative candidates) preferred (Morrison g. Spann)
over Chapmans for State Printer and therefore they
(Chapmans) comprised their defeat" If there lcaS
any such report, it was not very generals if it had
BEEN and if il had been believed that the candidates
would really exert themselves for A. F. Morrison,
they would not have received near as many votes
they did, And perhaps their defeat may be attributed,
as the organ asserts to theexsence of such report
If this be the fact they may thank the Morrison gang
for it because we never understood such to be their
position and they will bear US witness that
said word to them pro about the matter.
Nor did we say any thing to any one else Indeed
we thought it doubtful before election do now,
whether the Wigs or Democrats would have the dis
posal of the State printing; and we thought that
pirates in all probability, would stand much better
chance than any regular nominee, let the stand
as it might. Such has been the course of things in
both parties in this State; and can't claim exemp
ton from the general fate
The organ goes on 10 say, that dead set was
made particularly against Mr.. Johnson, who it
supposed, would be the highest on the ticket" If
this be true it must have been done by the Morrison
gang. Mr.. Johnson cannot be humbugged by the
Organs weak device He well knows that we have
desired his nomination for the last four years, and
expressed ourselves not only to him but TO other De-
mocrats of Lawrence. We may have been mistaken
in him he may have been Morrison man I; but we
have yet to learn this to be the from himself
We do not believe any such thing; and we think he
has too much sense to be draEn on in the manner
in which the Organ attempts to do it.
The Organ further says
sMr. Lawhead the Democratic candidate for
Sheriff, object of their displeasure also. They
well knew that they had injured him, and that if
elected the advertising and other patronage Of the
Sherif's Office would certainly not 60 to them-and
here again their seshness prevailed over their love
for the cause ~
If all this be true, Mr.. Lawhead has no reason to
thank the organ either for its aid sympathy. Mr.
Lawhead relied for success chiefly his ability to
cectioneer with the Wings. He tried the General
Hanna plan of split tickets; but with equally
unfortunate result The Organ charges, that we have
injured him. This is not true. The injury is on
their side of the house. Whatever may be pri-
rate opinion Of Mr.. Lawheads course no man can
say that eIectioneered either against his nomina
ton or his election.
1t is true, the Organ says that Of the Editors
of the Sentinel was ga member of the convention which
formed this ticket " but it is equally true, that know
ing the Morrison gang were ready to seize upon the
slightest prctexts for Misrepresentation, he determined
not to attend said Convention, and did not attend.
And in order get out of the reach of the charge of
Intriguing, which the organ now makes. he went as
far as Cincinnati. But the Major Longbow Of the
Commissarys concern it seems can see, far our
s.infuence can reach and he is determined to make
it appear that we control the political affairs of Marion
county though thousand miles distant.
But enough Of this. The organ virtually coltesses
Its TREASON to the Democratic party by the following
admission Of having printed spurious tickets for the
benefit of the Wing candidate for the Senate who
was supposed to have given his pledge to A. f. Nor
risOn for the State Printing Here is the admission
in its own words
81. is true we printed tickets for Gen. Hanna, FOL
which we received pay would for any other JOB
but it was not foul ticket, but the contrary per
fectly fair one, and would do it again and be glas
Of the chance"
So for few dollars-for the sake Of small lob
the party must run the risk of being gued with de
ceptiye ticket And it is fair is it, TO do such job
and receive pay for themi 1t would be just as fai
"a 10 prinf counterfeit money! and no more so, undo
