about the wa oald Buck has mandged af-
fares in regard tn Lekompton, and the wa
he has WASTED the peoples munney, as
we'll as the wa our county affares has bin
manidSed. The eckspcnses has bin awful
outraigious. Did heer about the wa un-
kle Tom nocked off that pecce of swamp
land tn one of the county commissioners
for oil dollers, before the over on the ia
he toald man who wantid tn bid on it
that he would sell it? Tha sa il am a fact
and that Champlin, who bot it, Dragged
about it and SADIE he had made hundred
dollers that da. He has since soald it. we
here. for 100 iollcrs. The man that toald
unkle Tom that he wanted to be on hand
at the sail says he woud gin ovur hun
derd dollers fur it, So II see the people is
fiumixed out of at lccst fifty dollcrs by this
opperashion of unkle Toms. Anuthur re-

thar is mulch democracy in all this. If il

We hav maid up our minds tn tri the re-
