Is MAXsON A TRUTHFUL MANS
He AN HON EST MAN?

Mr.. Maxson stated at a public meeting,
/ in Pike township, that D. w. Appleby, of
Waterloo township. voted in the convention
for Mr.. Eskrdge. and afterwards apologize
ed to him for doing it. In Waterloo town
ship, Mr.. Maxson positively denied saying
any such thing. We can prove by a dozen
witnesses. that Mr., Maxson positively said
it in Pike, aud that be positively denied it
in Waterloo. we can prove it by W. P.
B. Paisley, Esq, Of Forest Hill, and 9TH
ers, that Mr.. Maxson, in a conversation
with him, some time since. stated that those
mem5ers of the last legislature, who, at the
beginning Of the session, were friendly to
Carney, and who did not support the
'Flaud." were bought up by Lane. In the
same conversation he eaid, he had been
friendly to Carney. Therefore, Mr. Max
son, was either bought up by Lane, or, he
supported the Fraud" He can take eth T..
er horn of the dilema be pleases. Mr.. Max
son, has declared, in public that he was Of
fered $500. for his vote on the bridge
question. He says be didn't take it, nor
did be expose the man who was there try
ing to bride the members of the Senate, for
their votes. We don't believe that Maxson
was offered $500, for his vote, but that
he tells this story to make the people thin
heis honest. If he was offered that amount.
1t shows that the Individual offering ii.
! regarded Maxson as a man who could be
bribed, and bribed him, if net on the meas
ure. at least, to keep still and not expose
him, for Maxson didn't expose him.
Carney wrote to friend of his. that there
would be fluid raised to control the elec-
ton. Has Carney hired Maxsop to run
this Senatorial district?
Maxson charged Swallow as being thief
and perjurer-he charged Clarke, as being
swindleF-he charged Eskridge as being
swindIer of Lyon county, but has utterly
and totally failed to produce the slightest
evidence to prove his false and slanderous
assertion, and he m ust be classsd by the
people as public falsifer.
The above is sufficient to show the CAPT
tai upon which Mr.. Maxson is ru ming
deceit. Misrepresentation, and falshood
We dislike to speak SO harshly, but the
truth compels US to do SO. A man who
will deceive, misrepresent and falsify his
opponents, ought to be defeated, for the
sake of public and political morality.

STRAIGHT.

Il is the daty Of individuals. as well as
communities, never TO deceive or defraud
themselves. It is too often the case we
overrats our strength and neglect our duty.
We should a. al times ani under all
circumstances prove true 10 ourselves and
the duties ve eve to society aad govern
ment. And ia tie faithful discharge Of our
duty to ourselves, we necessarily discharge
that We owe to society aud government.
On Tuesday next comes our PFesiIen
tisl, State and County elections, and The
importance Of our action on that day
should be carefully considered by every
voter before going to the polls TO vote.
We believe that the destiny Of our nation
and our free and republican institutions, as
we'll as the peace aud prosperity Of future
generations, depends upon US selecting
men to fIi the various Offices, who have
been tried aud found traa to Government.
We have but two parties in tie Presi-
Dental canvass, The loyal are for sustaining
the Government at any cost, and fer fore
ing the rebels iato humble submission or
bayopetipg them into the last ditch, The
disioyai peace a!-any price party are trying
to force Eeaos upon tbs rebels which they
say they do not want, and fighting the Ad-
mia!strrticp for trying to sustain the Gov
eminent. If we act with that candor and
honesty due to ourselves, it requires no
stretch of the imagination to decide our
duty in voting for President.
II We are in favor of sustaining the Gov
eminent and Administration, it is cur duty
to select such man to ell State and county
Offices as we know are sound Administra-
ton men, for it is by the aid Of the States
only, acting in harmony, that our Govern
m ent can be perpetuated. The only safe
and reliable rule to govern US in deciding
who we shall cast our vote for, is to select
the ticket we know to be put forth by the
loyal Administration Earty of our State,
and vote il through without a scratch, even
down to the smallest offics within the gift
Of the people. If for no other reason than
to pat quietu5 on junto OF dishonest
knages, who have disgraced our State with
series of frauds and are now trying to
deceive the people by claiming TO be the
true Republican party.
Remember they are the same ir macula lie
SO, who robbed the people Of their right to
choose their own U. S. Senator.

BIRDS OF a FEATHER FLOCK
TOGETHER.

On the evening of the Sd inst, TEACHER,
Pomeroy d Co., were advertised to speak
at this place. We noticed some half dozen
citizens from the country, on the streets;
who we've supposed to be in utilization with
the fraud ticket Among the number, we
noticed 7. A. Armor, Indepenpent eandi-
date, for Representative. AID P. B. Maxson,
the boiling candidate for State Senator. In
the afternoon, Col. Cloud sent word here.
that he would speak on the aforesaid even
ing. Late in the afternoon. Thacher.
Pomeroy. & Co, had not. as yet arrived,
when the aforemen toned Candidate for Rep
resentatiye, said to the balance of his fel-
lows: Let Us go LONE. / do not think
they (Thacher, Pomeroy & Co. are COM
ing; as for Cloud, don't care about hear.
Jag him spesk." The adage is true in
politics. as in other things. birds Of feath
er flock together. Those In utilization
with the fraud ticket, don't care about
hearing Col. Cloud or other straight Repub-
lieau speakers. They do not want to hear
that fusion fraud combination exposed.

Thacber to print 800 election ticke,s with
his name for Governor and A L. Lee for
Congress. tbs balance TO be filed up with
the regular State ticket of tue eth of Sep,

We consider this acting in bad faith,
and practising fraud upon ths regular
fraud ticket. His cutting their acqua;nt-
ance is to make himself appear more re-
spectacle TO the true Republican party.
His design is to steal some Republican votes
through the inadvertence of voters. Look
out voters. and see that your tickets are the
clean thing. The straight Republican tiokei

The fraudites have dero gated to them
selves all the honesty, patriotism, and brains
that belongs to Kansas. To properly ap-
preciate their honesty. We have only to re
view their past history and antecedents.
Their State ticket is tie embodiment of the
leading spirits of that villainous fraud, the
Carney swindle; their identity can be
traced back to the Minneoia swindle, from
thence to the LecomptoD swindle, and many
bad their origin in border rufianism; their
fusion with the antiAdministration party,
aud their continued thrusts At the Admin
istration and our brave soldiers in tue field,
and their byPOcriical pretense of sustain
lincoln and Johnson srs too glaring to de-
ceive an honest Democrat. and should re-
ceive stern rebuke at the polls from every
loyal man in Kansas.

State and General Government can
only be brought about by the cleo
ton of Colonel Crawford and the

p. d. MANSON,

P. B, Maxson, the Boilers candidate for
the State Senate, and fraud speaker for lbe
mongrel State ticket, has for some time past
been busy in making and circulating false
and slanderc US charges against ]. r. Sgal
low, cur candidate for State Auditor, in re.
laIion TO Mr.. Swallows conduct while be
was treasurer of Lyon County.
We uuhesilatingly say to the public, that
the charges made are maliciously false,
"wanton and wicked" without the slight
est foundation in truth. which the books
and vouchers from the State, will prove be-
yond a cavil.
Maxson said in his speech in Fremont
township, that if he was satisfied that his
charges were wrong. he would retract them
and vote for Mr.. Swallow. Mr.. Swallow in
vited him or any other person to call and
examine the books and vouchers to satisfy
themselves of their correctness, SO that he
might be able to counteract the injustice
he had done him. Why has he not done
this, instead of persisting in his libelous
course? He was bound by every considera-
ton as gentleman and christian, to have
Investigated the matter Immediately, and
to have made the proper ratraction.
and this should have been in way 10y
card) that every newspaper in the State
might have published it, as Mr.. Swallow is
a candidate for State Office.
This Islander was extensively published
by Mr.. Maxson, at the State convention of
the 9th of September, and must have found
its way into various parts of the State.
Now it is passing strange that a man
making such high pretensons to morality
and honesty, as be does, should evade doing
his duty as an honest man, and good citi
zen. No, Maxson never desired or design
ed to examine the books and vouch hers, to
enable him to make the proper correction,
for the reason, the slauder was fabricated
for en electloneering lie, to injure Mr.. Swal-
low, prompted by base feeling of jealousy.
Mr. Swallow stood in his way for the
Authorship of State, which he sought aft
err, until he found there was not ghost OF
a chance for him. He had not sufficient
prestige to get any one to nominate him
before the convention.
Why is it Mr.. MaxsOn, that you put in
circulation at Topeka. and elsewhere, a base
SANDER against Mr.. Swallow?
Why is it you did not have the manhood
10 examine the books of your county, so
you could retract the ISLANDERS circulated By
you, to injure an innocent man?
Why have you not proven your state
mepts and charges to be true? Your word
10 not sufficient.
Why is it that anti Lane men are going
to vote Tor you, and claim you as an anti
Lane candidate?
Why is it, that ia some localities. you
are in favor of Lane unconditiouaily?
Why is it, that in other parts, you are
opposed to Lane and Carney?
Why is it you did not sign the Legisls-
tive protest against the Carney fraud, last
winter?
Why is it you have not defined your po-
sitiOu definitely up to this time?
II you do not answer these ia:srrogato
ries. We can do it for you with pleasure.
We do not believe them to be wicked and
wanton.'
