Kenosha telegraph. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1850-1854, 1852-10-29

70 We call attention to the letter appended,
from a prominent Wing, of Walworth county
Every word of it is just as true as gospel There
are leading Wings at Milwaukee who for political
and local reasons both, would rather have Wells
elected than Durkee, and hence they urge the wbgs
throughout the district to go for Durand to secure
the election of Wells. Let us call the attention of
the masses of the wings to the case as it really is
When Fillmore came into power, it will be recol-
lccted that one class of Wings were turned out of
Office and another class put in Now this class
that were turned out have hopes, if Scott is cleo
ted of beiug re-instated, and they working with
reference to that end. We have not q shadow of
doubt, from what we Sec that Wells is identified
with this clique of outs, and if he gets to Wash
ngton will use what influence he can with the
Scott administration, TO restore them to office.
There is not one of these leaders that expects TO
elect Durand-indeed we had it from gentleman
who got it from his own lips, that Durand himself
said recently, he did not expect TO be elected-yct
Rufus King, and other wings of Milwaukee, are
urging the wings of the district to go for Durand,
quite sure all the time it must elect Wells. Now
these are the men who have been sighted by the
Fillmore administration and hope TO be restored
power under Scott, and they 90 for Wells against
Durkce, because Wells is pledged TO do what he
can for them, whilst Durkec will take no part in
their quarrels. We know of wings about here who
not a great while ago were known to entertain no
hope of electng Durand, and were friendly to Dur
kee. now going in zcalouslv for Durand and urging
all the wings to 90 for him. Why this change!
Simply this they are men connected with the in
terest TO which we have alluded, and they are IN
structcd by Rufus King & Co.. that it is better for
them that Wells should be elected than Durkec.
If Pierce should be elected, it makes no difference
to King Co. who represents this district at Wash
ngton; but anticipating the election of Scott, and
having no hope of electng Durand, as the best
thing they can do for themselves, they have made
an alliance with Wells to do what he can for them.
Now, we have no Kind of interest in this quarrel.
We don't care Il copper who is out or IN the Off
ces. We only want to call the attention of the
masses of the wings TO these iactS-manifest 10 all
who will look at it-that they may understand that
their influence is to be used to elect an old bunker
democrat TO Congress, to benefit few politicians
in their ranks, and for no other purpose. Here
follows the letter
EDITOR KENOsuA TELEGRAPH:
Cannot our wing friends in Racine, Walworth
and Kenosha Counties be made TO understand the
game that is playing by Milwaukee, if possible, to-
clear Wcs-making a perfect stool-pigcon of
our worthy friend Durand, with the view of in
turing Mr.. Durkee. And will Racine better her
self much if their most Sanguine expectations in
that direction are realized!
Have they not tried milwaukee, faithfully enough
to understand their policy-and can it be that Ra-
cine is so utterly dcmened in their rejoicing over
mere nomination in their City as to lose all their
wonted shrewdncss. We trust not
The ideas of the hunkcrs on that subject are
we'll illustrated by the remark of Il prominent char
actcr among them, to friend who observed that
Mr. Durand and some of his friends, that there
was, at least, an even chance for him. Don t
the id fool know that he was put up expressly
ally s,acb particular id fool as to think he can
be elected !" Yours,
OBSERVER.
