Mr.. EDrroR:-Itis not often we attempt to
say anything through the columns ola newspa-
per, but with your leave, we will drop few re-
marks concerning the course of some of the
black republicans at and about the time of our
spring election When they had found that
the Democrats had met boldly in convention,
and nominated n Democratic ticket in full, it
was more than their sensitive black republican
know nothing spirits were able to bear and they
set to work in their dens Of darkness to devise
ways and means to defeat said ticket. They
concluded that the only chance for them was
to get Democrats to run on their ticket, and let
them have the name of electing them. They
therefore made proposals to Democratsan differ
ent parts of the township. They soon found
out that their was not Democrat iii the town
ship that wished to degrade himself in any such
way They then resortcd to their usual meth
od, viz: tying. One knew this thing about u
candidate, another something about another;
and few individuals seemed to spare no pains

Grand Triumph in Stock Town

EAAADs
Mn. EDITOR: ! have been waiting for somt
time 10 see some reply from my Democratic
friends, TO an article which appeared in th.
"Cafiz Republican," with regard to the Sprin,
election OF Stock township. But the Demo
erats considering the source" just let it pass
The glorious triumph of RcpubGcanism i

but one dollar rejoiced over it very much t

that the one dollar was 50 much more thar
Fe could have next year, that it filed hin

just the case with the Republican triumph
They have been looking forward to the time
when Kansas shall cease to bleed and the darl
waves of oblivion shall DER them roll and wher
the dark mantle of forgetlulness shall concca
them from the view of all humaE eyes!
The Republicans elected two or three of thei
candidates by majority of one, and the other
by casting lots Just the plan for them, for al
they ever got was by trickery and chance
And permit me to say, Mr.. Editor, there is q
misunderstanding by the people Of Stock, il
theH grand triumph OF one" was not gained
by holding a convention beti0een tco days.-
They asserted frequently on the day of election
that they had no regular ticket, and theiI
'paraPterlaFa'' OF majority was worthy Of
boasting, after considering Republican going
to Democrat and making agreement, that
neither Of them would 90 to the election
'Republican went-DemCcrat didn't"
Suffice it to say Stock township has thirty
of majority in favor of the party that has not
bowed the knee to "Baal, nor entered into any
midnight organizations to steal sacred livery
that they may more efficiently deceive the pco-
ple,-but stands out as the Beacon to direct the
polit clan; that his little bark may
not become Il sacrifice to the political wave of
oblivion where the worm of politics deth not,

matter, Mr. Myers will not return to the Dem

party. He says so himself distinctly Thank

Great Excitement mt Indiana sssolis

In certain conditions of the atmosphere, the
moon rising Cor setting) presents a remarkably
fiery and boodr appearance. This occurred
at Indianapolis, on Tuesday evening, and threw
the inhabitants Of that goodly city, who have
lately beer very much agtated on the subject Of
the comet, into terrible fright. The alarm
bells we're rung and the fire engines brought out
and the excitement and confusion for g few mo
nients was indescribable. They supposed that,
the comet had struck, and that the final confla-
grafton was at hand The idea of calling out
the engines under snch circumstances was wor-
thy of the genius Of Dame Partngton, who un-
dertook to repel an invasion the Atlantic with
her mop.--Ldtayette Journal
