White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1865-10-19

Duncan McIntosh, the candidate for
Register of Deeds. stands pretty much in
the same position ss Mr.. johnson. He
was . candidate, Convention or not.
They begged Of him to 60 into the Con-
vention, bot be replied that bis Township
did not want Convention. and had sent
no delesstes. II they saw proper to
nominate him. be would be thankful for
their yotsa; but be wished them to under.
stand that be did not consider himself
bound. BY their action, to support thsir
ticket. except such candidates as be pre-
ferred. His nomination was another grab
nt Iowa Township; for they knew that
Mcintosh was the man for our people s.
bot they were mistaken in supposing that
be could be bought. He will be elected.
He is well qualified for the place. to bssin
with; be rode with the old Kansas 9Th.
and all the boys and their friends are for
him; and he was disabled in the service
of his adopted country, which gives him
claim upon the support Of the people.
The Convention might as well have re-
solved that it may snow next Winter. 4,
Lsndon. their candidate for County
Clerk. we know nothing about. Bot We
do say that the attempt to turn Charles
Rsppelye out Of the Office is shame and
disgrace to set of men pretending to
represent party. A better CLERK. or
better or more honest man. never lived in
the County. This is the universal YER
dict. We know it Is . delicate matter
with him. but We viii also refer to his
we'll known physical disabilities, render
ing It impossible for him to earn liveli-
hood by manual labor. Added to all
this. be is as true Republican ss
breathes. He gave the Convention ex-
sctly the same reply that Mcintosh did
yet they nominated the one. and defeated
the other. Why? Because Rsppelye.
living ct Troy. had refused to join in the
eight against Crabb and Tracy. He had
been promised the nomination If he would
do so. bot declined. Even then he would
have carried majority Of the Conven.
tion. had not Henry Boder. acting as the
spokesman of the revenge party, made it
his business to enter special plea sgainst
Rappelye. and managed to beat him. But
Rappelye is the peoples candidate. We
shall next week show the public the diff
ference between the claims of Rsppelye
and Henry Boder upon public confidence.
/ Henry Wilson. the candidate for Coun-
tty Surveyor. is the present incumbent,
and we see no objection to his reelection.
| The Office Of Comfy Assessor is very
important one. and their candidate is ut.
terly incompetent to Gil it. The boys
from the army tell the story that be once,
on foraging expedition, shot jackass
in mistake for sheep. II he should as.
sess the farmers sheep as jackasses, il
would materially increase their taxes.
The Office of Coroner is also more i'm.
portant than people generally suppose
In certain cases, it is his duty to act in
place of the Sheriff. Mr.. Stewart, their
candidate. may have been originally Q
good enough man for the place but bis
unfortunate habits unfit him for any bust.
ness. 1t is truly aattering way of or
gsnizing the Republican party, by uomi'
mating sots, whose highest ambition is q

Bro. Bennett hung on to the Conven.
ton question with persistence that en-
titled him to something at their hands
He was facile instrument in their hands,
ready to declare anything right or wrong,
to suit their purposes. Since be has onct
more condescended to indulge in earthly
things. we shall haye something 10 50.

The Convention movement. and the nom.

end. The only thing that remains to be
done. is for the people to ratify their nice
little arrangement. There win be The
rub. By next week, there will be Q full

ably two or three exceptions. Then the
issue will bs the People versus the Royal
