J.B. MAYHaRD. Of CsLtrs Township.
for Probate Judge. Mr.. Maynard came
to Kansas Democrat. and was chosen
Justice Of the Peace in Centre Township.
He endeavored to perform his duty i'm
partially; but during his term Of Office.
be discovered that. to be Q Democrat in
Kansas, he was required to kuuckle down
to Slavery. and to hold Office at their
hands, he was expected to make it 9 par.
ty machine. The term satisfied him, and
he refused 9 reelection, telling them that
he could no longer serve such party,
but was henceforth . Republican. He
did not, like some we wot Of, hold on 10
his Office, and use it as means Of per-
sonAl sggrandi1smsnt. That Squire
Maynard made this move from no selfish
motives, looking to official honors, is
clearly evidenced by the feet that be re-
sides in an Overwhelmingly Democratic
Township, and left the party at time
when they had carried the County By q
large majority. The nomination is a
good one. and he is a strong and inauen-
tial candidate. -.
RoDERr j. PORTER, Of Troy, for Sher-
if. is one of the most popular men on
the ticket. He was twice elected County
Treasurer, and was elected to the Wyan-
dotte Convention, when the balance Of
the Free State candidates were defeated
by large majority. He is a native Of
Western Pennsylvania, but has been on
the Western Plains for number of years.
he wss formerly Wing. We do no.
believe he was ever engaged in . brawl.
or ever carried slung-shot in his life
but we have . strong belief in one thing
that be will be elected Sheriff.
The friends Of Mr.. Randolph thought
that he was entitled to q full term, al
least, and endesvored to secure his nomi-
nation; but a majority of the Delegate.
considered Porter the strongest man.
Mr.. Randolph has made a good officer,
and we would have cordially supported
him, had be been the nominee. But lik.
. true man. he agreed to throw aside ell
personal differences, and labor for the
success Of the entire ticket.
JOSEPH F. HARsoS, Of Troy. for Re-
corder. There is not much Of Hampson,
but it is all man. He is q man from the
crown of his hat to the under side of the
sole Of his boot then il commences in
the other boot, and goes to the top Of hin
head again; and what is left, goes to Gil
up the intervening space. He is at pres.
ent Deputy Sheriff. and when he hs,
anything to do, he does it. He is moi
above following any honest calling for G
living. The first time we ever saw him,
was about two years and half ago, car
rying 8 chain and driving stakes on che
White Cloud town site-and he had thai
same "foxy" beard. He is now survey
ing another institution, and will drive
his next stake in the Recorders Office
When next we see him, it may be to gel
him to record deed to Q section Of land
Mr.. Hampson is also a native of West.
ern Pennsylvanis, and was formerly 6
Wing. He was likewise member Of
the Leavenworth Convention. He is 9
capital penman. and 10 well qualified fol
the Office of Recorder. It 10 said to give
Lee the "fsn-tods" every time he seei
Hsmpson, for he feels that he is looking
upon his successor. He can see the mex
Recorder almost any day. without using
8 looking glass. There is net 3 more
popular man in the County than Hamp'
son, and he will be elected. And whet
he takes charge Of the Office, it cannot b,
said that it is Democratic Office, nor 4
Republican Office. but an Office for th,
people Of Doniphan County to transact
their business. '. ....i.
Benjamin Harding was candidate fol
r Recorder; but seeing that Hsmpson wa
the strongest man, he withdrew in hi
favor. Harding has stood true to thu
! cause. through good and evil, and has al
: ways been willing to sacrifice persona
interest to the success Of principle. Fl,
deserves well Of the Free State people o
. Doniphan County. EEWUEhE
HENRY BoDER, ia, of Troy, the can
: didats for Clerk. st present holds tina
: Office. Mr.. Boder is very young man
but we think we may safely say that h
{ is the most accomplished Clerk in tn
Comfy. if not in the Territory. He is
splendid penmsn, and thoroughly under
stands bis business. having been in I
! manner raised to it.
G. @. CAM, of Elwood, for COUNT
, Attorney. We are unacqusinted witt
this gentleman, but are told that he g
. least understands the difference between
