White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1859-10-06

people of Douiphan County want such g
man for Sheriff Z? l. it not to be appre-
hended that be will permit his petty jeal-
ousies and animosities to interfere with a
Just performance Of his official duties :?
The Democracy should have a care. or he
will fall out with some member of the
party. and desert it before the election
comes off I!
A. A. DAUcHERrY, Of Wayne Town
ship. for Probate Judge. This is the
person who is represented as being such a
staunch Free State man, and great efforts
will be made to secure votes for him on
that score. Do you want to know what
sort of a Free State man he is ? We
will tell you. He is Free State because
he is compelled to be. For some time
after coming to Kansas, be had a slave,
and would have had yet, had he not been
so unfortunate as to get involved. In
order to keep his creditors from taking
the slave to satisfy their just demands. he
sent him or her to the plantation Of his
father law, in Missouri. The proba-
bility is that he still owns the slave. So
here is another beautiful specimen for Free
State men to support
JosEPHUs UTT, of Wolf River Town
ship, for Clerk. We feel like touching
10. lightly, as he is personally very
clever fellow and. we believe. he claims
to be an old line Wing. instead of q
Democrat. But there his name stands on
the Democratic ticket, and by that we
must judge. He has been Pro- Slavery
man from the start. although he owns no
slaves, and does not expect to. We be-
lieve he went ont one campaign during
the wars, but we suppose it was merely
as a spectator, as we have never heard OF
his numbering or plundering anybody.
We have no doubt he is qualified for the
Clerkship; but we must say, he is in
most wretchedly bad company. In such
cases as his, we always think of the fate
Of well-meaning and honest old dog
named Tray. He may not hold himself
answerable for the sins and meanness Of
his brother candidates but it is the way
Of politics. and probably ever will be,
that every candidate on ticket is made
to rise or fall with his associates. The
people will pack the short comings of the
other candidates upon his shoulders, and
he will have tremendous load of them
to carry.
JACOB w. TREBLE, of Burr Oak
Township. for Treasurer. Above all
things else, the people should select a re-
sponsible man to take charge of their
money. Is Jake Tribble such man
Listen, and judge for yourselves. He is
called the bully of Burr Oak Bottom, and
considers himself the bully of the County.
He is a regular horse-jockey. and his
principal occupation is gambling, horse
racing and trading. snd drinking whiskey.
When engaged in his favorite pursuits,
with crowd of congenial spirits around
him, he is wont to bluster hugely, and
swear that he can whip anything in DON
iphan County! Do the people want such
a ruffian for Treasurer? Is frequente-
of doggerieS, man who stakes his pile
at the gaming table. or one who goes his
purse on horse-race, a fit person to en-
trust with the funds of County like
Doniphan? When he gets little short
in his gaming operations. he will know
where to replenish his purse, and ten to
one he will apply his knowledge to prac-
teal use.
JOHN A. FARRALL, of Iowa Point, for
County Attorney. Mr.. Farrall may be a
very nice young may, for aught we know;
but he is about as it for County Attorney
as we are; and we are no more fit than
John A. Farrall. 1t is considerably
mixed whether he understands the first
principles of Blackstone. What efforts
he has made against the Constitution,
have not been calculated to give the public
very exalted opinion of his abilities. In
some Counties East, the parties are in the
habit OF nominating for Prosecuting At
torney. such young men as are not any
the brightest in legal lore, and who have
very meagre practice. When they have
work to do. they have the right to employ
assistance on the part of the State. The
assistance is usually some talented lawyer,
and he not only assists" but "plays it
alone" The Prosecuting Attorney is a
mere man of straw; but he has an oppor-
tunity to pick mp considerable informa-
ton, and to make an extensive acquaint-
ance, which will serve him when his term
of Office expires, and he returns to his
practice. We presume it was upon this
principle that Farrall was nominated.
