the day CT rotribution - near at hand
are wrought up to the highes: state of
desperation at the thoughts of having
70 account to tho people of Franklin
County for their oft repeated faithless
pledges, that they are In favor Of free
dom, and Of making Kansas FREQ State;
and for tho corrupt and wastofal OK
psnditure Of the peoples money. They
SEQ aud feel, that they can no longer
deceive tho honest and independent
men Of their party, by thois false and
hypocritical professions Of economy
and integrity in the expenditure Of tho
peoples money, right In the face OF the
fact, that said Clique, did stop the inves.
tigation Of the accounts Of Auditor
Quick, and ex-Treasurcr Robson; that
/. said Clique did originate, and'by their
influence and advise consumate the in
famous "Court House fence contract.
As evidence conclusive of this, wo aslr,
where is the man who even knew III.
mer Hiatt, or Simpson calfte. to do the
6rst public act, before first consulting
sone member Of said clique
Il won't do gentlemen, for you, now,
that Goblc has protested. and you see
that tho people will endorse him, to
..crawfsh from your Shiny den, and igno.
miniousIy charge the whole affair upon
Hiatt andsCslfoo. who have ever been
your willing tools TO do your bidding
Why not further disburden yourselves,
in view Of that day of final rotribution,
by cha0ing upon poor Hiattmd Calico
that they stopped tho investigation of
said county frauds contrary to your
counsel aud advice?
=, But the said "Court House Clique"
after exausting all the ordinary, and
extraordinary appliances of the party
in bringing back refractory members,
who, acting from honest impulses, de-
clare that they can no longer consci-
enciously support the party, como out
in loader, in the last issue Of th o
Franklin Democrat, headed shallow
Political Tricks" and o dernier resort,
seek to intimidato them by charging
that the Republicans will not support
the independent candidates, Cooley,
Cant. and Bauer; and again charging
that the Republicans will have their Sc.
cret tickets &c.
=" Do you suppose gentlemen of the
Clique. that such honest and indepen :.
dent men as John T. Cooley, Giles Cant
and Frank Bauer, who acting from con.
scious integrity of principle, have con-
sented that their Republican and Dem.
ocratic friends, may use their names,
and support them for tho respective of
fees for which they are candidates, can
in. any way be influenced Tor their
Democratic frionds) by any such un.
worthy considerations, even If true.
much less when they know, and you
know, that the charge rs wholly false,
and without the least foundation for
even suspicion. The honest and in
dependent Democrats OF Fran kiln coun.
~ know too we'll the chaacterfand integ.
rity Of the men composing the Rcpub-
lican party of this county, whom you
have been abusing and vilifying through
your organ and on the stump for years,
20 DO influenced by any such stuff, or
by any such old hackneyed cants as
Know Nothingism," "Maine Lawism.''
&c.
But not content with villifying the
Republicans you can't restrain your in
veterate hatred to any thing like indie
pendsnce in men, to think for them
selves, and act honestly, but must de-
nounce Cooley, Cant and Bauer, as over
ambitious, disaffected Democrats" and
stools" because they win no longer be
led by your corrupt and tyrannical rule.
A part Of these same men, the Democ-
racy in its purer days delighted to hon
or. But in these days Of political COR
ruption, and Court House fence swim
dies, Cooley and Cant and all the
friends who dare think for themselves,
are denounced by the pro-slavery and
niger loving clique, because they will
not endorse their doings.
And because Frank Bauer, an honest
German, who was rejected by'this same
clique, because he was too honest, if put
in charge of the peoples money, to pay
OF the bogus orders of Auditor Quick
dares TO. be candidate in opposition to
the we'll tried and faithful Michael, who
knows well oil tho tricks of tho Office,
and who seems to be the only German
in all the county, but has to mpch hon.
ssts to be trusted With an oNco under
the clique.
