OK TIE RIsHr TRAck.-Not more than
. week ego. . certain Lane editor told
us that the Lane party had Furnished the
publishers of the Troy Patriot with IN
smeuut Of fun,ls, and thst the paper
would forthwith take strong ground
against the Senatorial Fraud" We
replied that we would believe it when Va
saw it. We were esrrsct. The Patriot
is out in an article dscisiyely and en-
phatic.Ily endorsing the election Of Car
ncy. The three papers Of this County
are upon the same platform. There !.
not little significance in this. II any
considerable portion of our people were
opposed to ths election. could not ont
paper out of three be found to advocst'
their side of the question? !? The fact is
there is but one position for the tru'
friends of Doniphan County. and in fac
of the whole Northern Tier, to take, an6
that is tho one maintained BY our Ooun
ty papers. Lane sold out Northern Kan

uent. then upon the Kickapoo Treaty
After two years. hard labor. the mem
bers Of the Legislature succeeded in &C
complishins all on the Railroad question
that Congress placed in their power
while the Kickspoe Treaty is beyon'
the reach Of member Of the Legislature
At the same time. the members placs'
their seal of condemnation upon the maj
who had betrayed their constituents. Tb
issue is between the members and Gen
Lane; and that maa who denounces tn
act of the Legislature. and adheres to th
cause of Lane, cares not whit for tn
interests of Northern Kansas.

THR Reason WHY.-We are frequent
ly asked why we did not send copies Of
the Governors Message and other State
documents to our constituents, while at
Topeka. We reply, for the very best Of
reasons. John Speer had the contract to
print the public documents. But instead
Of executing the work. be went bowling
about the country, charging the Legisla-
ture with fraud, while that body was
compelled to legislate without the aid Of
any Of the important State papers which
are so necessary to proper legislation.
When but three or fonr days remained
of the session. and the documents were
not yet forthcoming. the Legislature
countermanded the order to print them.
and inserted clause in the appropriation
bill against paying for the printing o.
such documents. This brought Mr.. Speer
"to his milk" and he divuIged the fact
that the documents were printed. He
had been Withholding them. BY taking
advantage of the technicality of the law.
and thus depriving the Legislature of their
use. and preventing the people of the
State from reading for themselves. and
detecting the Misrepresentation of him
and his co-workers against the State
Government! Now he is calling the
members swindlers. for not paying him
for bis dishonorable transaction.

then, when there was no longer q ehancs
