It Has Como to Pass.
A few weeks ago. Free State Demo-

Gratis who honestly prefer free to slave
labor. went to Iowa Point on business
and while there. he happened in company
where clustering Pro. Slavery Democrat
was entertaining the crowd. Said he
The Democrats must run nothing but
Pro Slavery men. this Fall they can't
elect anything else; and these id Free
State Democrats are NO better than Black
Republicans. Said our Free State De-
mocrst: eff you expect to elect your
ticket without the aid of Free State De-
imocrsts. you will be badly mistaken"
Where do you live ?" inquired the
blusterer. "In White Cloud" was the
reply. II understand" said blusterer.
"tbst you haye some Of these id Free
State Democrats up there." "Yes." re.
piled the other. 81 am one myself; and
You will find you can't get along without
their votes" "Well," continued gas

publicsns. We can't elect anything but
Pro. Slavery men. and no other kind is

too" Such was the tenor of the conver-
sation, which was continued for some
time. The Pro-Slavery man. in the
course of his remarks, also foreto!d the
nomination Of Charley Blakely for Shsr-
if: How have his words been fulfilled :?
w. D. Wood, the candidate for Coun-
Gil. is a rabid Slaveryite. In q speech
at Palermo. q little over q year ago,
he declared that the Democratic party
was Pro. Slavery. and he thanked God
for it!
V. D. Markham is rank Pro. Slavery,
and getting more so. the more he thinks
over it. He despises the Democratic
party as heartily as we do, (perhaps our
readers can form some idea how hard
that is, but notwithstanding this, creeps
into bed with them. for no other reason
than that the party is Pro Slavery, and
opposed to the Republicans. In his own
words, he acts with the Democracy to
redeem himself from the sin of having
once been . candidate on tho Republican
ticket. As he has chosen Democracy for
that purpose, he cannot sing: Il know
that my Redeemer lives"
Samuel D. Benight did all in his pow
er to force Slavery upon Kansas. For
that service, he was awarded the Deputy
District Clerkship. which position he
held from the days Of Border Ruffisn rule
down to q recent date.
Charley Blakely was the leader Of the
Rufiians from Iowa Point. who prowled
about, robbing and driving out Free
State settlers. He has long and dark
record, which we intend ventilating at
our leisure.
Word, Whitehead ans Gabbert did
their utmost to make Kansas q Slave
State. from the days Of the troubles down
to the very last effort that was made in
that direction. Besides. they are the
same Board of Commissioners through
whose instrumentality the taxpayers Of
this County have been robbed Of several
thousand dollars. They also have . rec
ord which will be kept before the people.
The Democracy re-nomiuated them ex.
pressly as On Endorsement of their official
conduct, and now ask the people to ratify
the Endorsement.
Griffith. for Representative, and Hoff-

There is the list, The ticket stands
together-each candidate is pledged to
the support Of all the rest, past records
