MuzzLE TIE HOUND Jim Lane. the
demsgogue, whoremonger and murderer.
is peregrinsting The Territory, for the o.
tensible purpose Of denouncing the issu-
ing Of Territorial Claim Bonds, author
lied by tho late Legislature, but in reality
to crafty q personal spite. and abuse
Gov. Robinson. In this despicable bus
mess be is encouraged BY Republicans,
and generally makes it convenient to ease
himself of his OVERLOOKING bile at Repub-
lican County Conventions. Now, We
doubt not that very large majority Of
the people of the Territory condemn this
Bond operation-indeed, it would be
strange if they did not-but Lane is the
last man that ought to go around howl
ing about it. Perhaps one-fourth of the
claims are for losses caused directly OF
indirectly BY himself and his pilfering
band, who, while they accomplished
much good for the Free State settlers Of
Kansas, did infinitely more harm to the
people of the Territory generally.
Gov. Robinson told too many unpalst'
able truths, in his Harper's Ferry testi'
mony, and it cut too keenly upon Lane
and his clique. He must be punished fOl
it, and the Republican party Of Kansas
must be made the instrument Of punish
ment Somehow, they have got Robin
son mixed up in the Claim Bond bust
ness and thus is afforded an excellent
pretext for venting vast amount Of per
sonal spite against him. Lane eagerly
undertook the job of denOuncing the Bond
business for in SO doing, he could make
several points against Robinson, and
could give himself a slight lift in popular
favor, by appearing to be a defender Of
the peoples rights, and thus advance his
chances for the United States Senate.
The sooner the Republican masses
emancipate themselves from the rule Of
the Lane clique, the sooner they will save
themselves from overwhelming defeat,
We know we are subjecting ourself to
censure, in speaking thus; for this ha
been the fate of every one who has dared
to protest against the damaging course Of
a certain combination. By some man
agement or other. the Republican party
of Kansas has been led to follow and In
dorse Lane, through all his trickery and
crimes and in doing so, we have seen il
dwindle from an almost unanimous vote
in the Territory-from Free State ma.
jority of 10000. to g majority Of but
2,500-and constantly decreasing. Still,
the wire pullers hang on to Lane, and
woe betide him who has the temerity to
raise warning voice against it. But we
have faith that the peoples eyes will
eventually be opened, in time to save the
party. One thing is dead sure-if the
Republican party must continue to be
tied to jim Lanes coat tail, it will 60 tC
hell with him I!
