White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1860-07-26

The balance OF his remarks We ~~
hear. We presume be deemed them
more interesting to himself than to the
audience, and therefore talked to him.

Mr.. Harris next announced himself for
Judge, and stated his sentiments on the
Railroad issue. His words were few, and
to the point.
Then came judge Williams, who Is q
candidate for re election. He spoke as
one who was conscious Of having done
his duty, and was not ashamed OF it
Tbe other candidates appeared to have a
pick at him, and he was much Interrupt
ted /; but he came up to the work square
ly, and no advantage was gained over
him.
Daniel Zook, of Forest City, also an
nounced himself for Judge. Public opIn-
ion in the County is evidently against the
Railroad subscription; but we liked Mr..
looks spunk in taking stand on the
unpopular side. He took the ground OF
progress and improvement. and correctly
argued that money subscribed BY the
County to the Railroad. would be well
invested, and the County would be the
gamer. in a largely increased population,
. rise in the value of property, and an
improvement in affairs generally.
Messrs. Dulin, Poindexter and Lab
mer then announced themselves for Sher-
if, in short speeches. to the point. We
believe one or two Of them did state
their position on the Railroad issue but
we could not divine what the Sheriffs Of
fee had to do with Railroads.
Messrs. Gregory and Chsdduck then
had q tilt for the Office Of Treasurer. We
judge there is not very amiable feeling
existing between these gentlemen; and
the Oregon Clique entered largely into
the controversy. Gregory was severe
upon the Clique, which. be commended,
had misrepresentei him. Chadduck held
that he was not responsible for the con-
duct Of the Clique, give list Of the
property owned by Gregory and himself,
and announced that be was book keep

Messrs. Stucksy, Reeves, Prophet and
Burnhsm announced themselves for Con-
stable. Stuckey made the principal
speech. He wanted the people to go to
the 'Squires, and ask them il he did not
do up the business right. heretofore. He
had only one opponent Of any conse-
quence, and he had threatened to leave
the County il beaten. He thought that
opponent had better commence packing
up Immediately, for he (Stuckey) was
bound to be elected. We doubt not that
opponent is already beyond the limits of
the State. and that the 'Squires are be-
sieged almost to death by the dear peo-
pie who come to ascertain how Stuckey
has performed the duties of Constable !
One matter we almost forgotI Stuckcy
requested us to give Breckenridge a hard
rub. If Breckenridge had ever done us
any harm, we might say that Stuckey's
speech was just such a one as we should
suppose Breckenridge would make; but
we do not believe Stuckey himself would
desire us to be so hard on the poor man
as all that comes tol
D. w. Willett announced himself
for School Commissioner, and was
followed by Judge Epperson. a candi-
date for the same Office, who entered into
an extended argument. He produced
volumnious documents, read the school
law, delivered temperance lecture. made
an exhortation, and, we believe, had en-
tered upon a regular-built sermon, when
dug" whistled, and we had to leave.
Thus was an afternoon spent among the
Missouri politicians, where we heard
more electioneering and less party poll
tics than ever before on a similar occasion;
for Mr.. Young was the only candidate
who made any allusion to politics.
