From all that we can learn, it appears
that all over the State everything is run
ming on the Fraud and anti Fraud issue.
The notorious 6S have got home from The
Legislature and are trying their case be-
fore the people. Every city election, every
town meeting, every public gathering, and
even in ordinary business affairs, the sup
porters of the swindle lug in their scheme
and try to get an endorsement. They are
uneasy, and are anxious to know what the
people think of them. Had they not the
presumption of robbers they would have
become satisfied by this time from the ex-
pressions of the indignation meetings that
have been held all over the State of how their
constituents like their Senatorial action.
They are not satisfied with their own con.
duct but are hammering at the people for
an endorsement. This was commenced in
Topeka at their municipal election. The
Fraud and anti-F Fraud issue was sprung by
the Fraudites, and Fraud lost. The Fraud
organs outside of Lawrence claimed the
election of certain set of officers in Law.
renee as aEssFraud' victory. though the
people of ihatIclty never thoSshteef SUCH
an issue. AT the city election of Eeaven-
worth last Monday the Fraudites brought
in their everlasting issue, with what success
we have not learned. They expect as goes
Leavenworth so goes the State. We hear
of various local measures through the
State, regardless of their importance to the
people, running on the Fraud issue.
So it was in the Legislature last winter.
As soon as the Senatorial swindle was
over, there came series of other swinilps.
For as oae lie requires thousand to boil
s,er it up, SO ii is with swindles. The Az.
ricui,urai College came near being depriv.
ed of an appropriation because Mr.. Full.
Ii agton, the Represen atire from the county
Il which it is located, opposed the Fraud,
and only through personal considerations
to certion men who sustained the Fraud
was an appropriation secured. SO it was
In the case of several other local measures
that were brought up. The Fraud mai.
ority killed everything that the ami. Fraud
minority introduced, and at the same time
passed local measures to crafty their own
personal ends. In this latter class comes
the bill introduced by the Fraud Repre-
sentalives of Aemaha county, to cut off
six mile strip from the east side of Mar
shall county and attach the same to Nema-
ha, but which was defeated by the indom-
liable efforts OF our Representative, ]. D.
Brumbaugh.
This contemplate turn of affairs is pc.
cuiiarly unfortunate to our young State at
this time and is chargable alone 10 the meo
who perpetrated the swindle. Now, while
Dur Sta.e, In common with all loyal States,
is putting forth every elfor' to suppress the
shareholders rebellion, we see our people
iisided against themselves, and every
measure calculated for National, State or {
municipal benefit, every change that occurs
