This j. P. johnson, while protesting to
be Free State man, was seen in secret

Iowa Point, and assisted in defeating the

Eye % Furthermore, this j. P. johnson,
while being a resident Of Illinois, voted
at Iowa Point, thereby violating the cleo
ton law. The defeated candidates owe
it to themselves to put him through, to
the utmost extent of the law, for Illegal
voting. He is red-hot Buchanan Dem

OH WHAT JUDGE
At the polls the utmost unfairness was
exhibited. The color Of the Free State
tickets was white, and of the Union tick
cts, blue. The blue tickets were received
without hesitation, but very great care
was taken to cross examine those who
offered white tickets. And when PERSON
stated that he was from White Cloud,
unless Inc was very well known, he had to
submit to close catechising. The judge
who engineered this work, we are told, is
a Justice of the Peace, and pretends to be
a lawyer-and is the same man who re-
Gently berated Iowa Point severely, be-
cause he had to pay a corporation tax OF
81. and owned not bit of property in
town. This judge decided questions in

common law! If he had understood the
principles of common sense. he would
not have committed the blunder. To
think of judge of election referring TO
Blackstone, to decide upon mans right
to vote under the election laws of Kansas
And what was worst of all, when mans
vote was challenged, he examined the
Constitution of the United States, to ar
rive at decision in the matter!

Mr.. Hubbard is resident of Highland,
and is supposed to be a son of "Old
Mother Hubbard, who went to the cup
board to get her dog bone" He got a
small bono from the Pro Slavery party ;
and they can always use him by giving |
him bone to gnaw at. He is tool for
Major Vandeslice, and wherever scheme
is on foot to divide the Free State party,
the Major is sure 10 propose the name OF
E. NJ. Hubbard. This is the second time,
during the present year, that he has been
used for that purpose. President Buch-
