The County Convention.

The County Convention, on Saturday,
was largely attended. both by delegates
and outsiders, and some of the offices
were hotly contested. The ticket appears
st the head of this column. In the main,
we are pleased with it. We could have
suited ourselves better in some Of the Of
Gees. but perhaps it was the best that
csuld be done. We have lived here ten
years, and have Just found out for the first
time that several of the candidates are
Radical Republicans. But prehsps the
Convention knew better. If they only
"stick," we shall be satisfied. Others,
we suppose, are Radical enough; al
though, when the party was FIRST organ.
ICED in the County. they met in Conven-
tion with the Democracy. and proclaimed
their full fellowship with that party, in
its warfare against the Republican party.
We are glad they have found the right
side at last.
We should have preferred that Iowa
Township had been represented on the
Ticket. The Convention might have
given us the District Clerk. without doing
any injustice whatever. Or. at all events,
it eould have given Us the Superintendent
of Public Instruction. Iowa is q large
Township. and pays more taxes than any
other in the County. She could manage
to dispose Of several Of the County Offices.
and relieve Washington and Ceutre of
the burden of filling them all. But not
having got any Office. the people are un-
der obligations to the Convention, at any
rate. for repudiating the outrage commit
ted in our Township Convention. and
teaching those concerned tlst it pays
best. in the long run. to act fairly end de-
Gently. when they have it in their power
to act otherwise.
But if we are ever to have the party
thoroughly organized in the County. we
must make beginning. even if it is not
the most satisfactory. Another reason
for supporting the ticket is. that we want
to make Doniphsn the banner County.
BY giving the largest Republican majority
Of any County in the State. and the only
way to do this, is to stick together, and
not divide up at home.
Therefore, If we do not learn OF any
more serious objections to to the ticket
than We have yet besrd, We will give it
our support.

An INsuLT.-We notice the State Cen

"Honorable" or "Col." s. N. Wood to
canvass the State, and made list of ap-
pointments for him. which include juno

and they will recognize no such meeting.
If this is a specimen of The Judgment
and policy of the State Central Comi,,ee.
they should Immediately gut the busi-
ness. Respectable men who have regard
for principle. will not tolerate leaders
who have never occupied any other posi-
tion than the common scum of political car.

A few years later. those same rebels

"CURros1r1Es" AND MEMeSroEs.

"CURIosITIEs'' AND MEMesToEs."-
When the excursion boats landed here,
on Saturday, there were an unusual num-
Der of Indians in town, who became the
centre Of attraction to a large crowd of
ladies and gentlemen. most Of whom had
doubtless never seen any OF the "nobie
red children" Said "nobles" underwent
q strict scrutiny. many of the strangers
even laying their hands on them, appar-
emily to ascertain whether their flesh and
muscles were like other human beings.
They clipped locks of hair from the heads
of the squaws, to carry home as curiosites.
for which they paid liberal prices, until
the squaws were in danger of being left
as bald headed as the warriors. George
Frncis Train. who was in the crowd, un-
dertook to exhibit his varied alta inments
by pretending to jabber Indian. but the
Indians "couldn't see it." The party,
before they returned to the boat, made al
most clean purchase of the stock ol
tumblers. beer.mugs. and other glass are
in one OF our stores. to preserve as me-
msntoes of the only time they ever trod
upon Kansas soil.

LEAvrxwoarA, Oct. Is, 1866.
Ep,roR or WHITE CLouD CHIEf:-I read
with much gra.ifcatior, in your last paper. the
statement of your views on the Senatorial ques-
ton, and especially in reference to Gov. Car
ney. You appreciate his position exactly. A
more perfectly unreliable, unprincipled politi-
clan is not to be found in tie State. There is
as much friendship and as good an understand
ing, to-day, between him and Mcdowell the
head of the Copper johnson party OF this State
as when he assisted the other to his present
place in the Post Office. BY the removal Of q
man whose political principles have never been
questioned or suspected. He is affiliated with
q gang of corrupt political Adventures all over
the State, who look to him as the dispenser Of
rewards for political services, and to whom he
is bound BY ties as strong as those which ever
unite political thieves and plunderers; and, in
order that he may redeem bis pledge to them.
he must have the control of Federal patronage
in this State. To obtain il, il elected Senator,
he will again join the Bread and Butter Brig
ade, with which he was long notoriously con-
nected-or, rather, continue with it the con
nection which is nov temp rarily concealed.
I do hope the Northern Tier will yet be
made to understand this matter. Gen Lee is
naturally your first choice for candidate. He
may be your Isss,asweii, snd the successful
one. If 50, very we'll. Over such result !
shall have no tears to shed. 9 a
But suppose it should be otherwise. Sup
pose the South should have candidate, and
be successful, and Lees friends should ulti-
mately find they could not succeed with him,
and should cast around for some other man
what then7 Will your people. in that contin.
gency, be guilty Of the political suicide Of aid,
ing to elect man who, without the talent, has
no more principle than Doolitle or CowaL,
and ~ho naturally supports Johnson, because
like him, he is naturally deceitful and treach.

such as you, to prevent it, if possible.

with the aid he will receive from the Copper
Johnsons, may enable him to secure majority

Of course, Leavenworth would like to have
Senator; and she has material enough from
which to select one, in whose keeping the hon
or of the party may safely be trusted. But II

A SrsAw.-Political straws are sought
after fully as much as those that "show
which way the wind blows" or those
that are put into tumblers and bung. holes.
We have q political straw. When Ben.
Wade was in town, some one asked him
how they expected to make it with Andy
johnson, next Winter? to which he re.
piled: "By Cd. we're going to i'm

Holt County Politics.

The canvass for Representative over
in Holt, is becoming warm. For vsri.
Gus reasons. large portion Of the people
arc dissatisfied with Mr.. Buick, the no.
mines of the Convention. He is com.
q stranger. and it is claimed
that be has not resided in the State long
enough to render him eligible to the Of
fee; and thus far, be has failed to prove
to the contrary. But the chief objection
lies in the fact that an effort will be made
in the coming Legislature to change the
route Of the Platte Country Railroad.
taking it east Of Oregon. leaving that
place, Forest City. and the entire west
ern part of the County. far to one side ;
and the people think they have reason to
believe that Mr.. Buzick is 10 favor of the
change. or can be induced to favor it.
In view of these circumstances. several
hundred of the leading citizens of the
County have signed call asking Sheriff
Ksuoher to become an independent can
didste for Representative. and he has con.
sented to the use Of his name in that con.
nsction. Thus the ball is fairly opened.
This is . question in which the people
Of White Cloud are deeply interested. as
we'll as the people Of Forest City and
Rush Bottom. 1t is to be presumed that
the people of Holt have some ground for
their fears in this matter. II the con-
templated change in the route is made,
Oregon will be removed farther than ever
from the road, Forest City's last hops
will be gone. and the thickly settled
western part Of the County will lose al
of the great advantages to be derived
from the road. They need q man in the
Legislature whose interests are identified
with theirs. and who will watch and de.
fend those interests. The surest way to
secure this. will be to vote and work for
Mr. Kaucher.
As to politics. it is unnecessary to in.
stitute comparisons. Mr.. Kaucher has
been known and tried for years, and hat
been found steadfast through evil as vel
as through good report. 1t will be diff
cult to demonstrate how the election o.
such man will seriously demoralize the
Radical party. or give aid and comforl
to the Copperheads.

Tn. R,.sos WaY.-We advocate q

THe Reason WHY.-We advocate Q
Northern Kanfss man for Unite1 States
Senator. because we have one who is ca
pable and worthy. and because all parts
Of the State should have share in the
distribution of these Offices. One argu-
ment has been used. that the Northern
Tier should have Q Senator. because il
was entirely left ont in making up the
State ticket. That might have been q
good point, were it not for the fact ths,
It was purpossly msnsgsd BY Northern
Kansas uner that the Tier should be ig.
nored BY the State Convention. to make
stronger claim for a senstor. There
were two important offices on the State
ticket, either one of which could have
been secured for Northern Tier man. il
the delegation had but presented their
man. and supported him ; but they wer'
thrust away. according to the programme
previously agreed upon. 1t may be that
ons mans claims are paramount to every
other mans; but to set up this seif-sc
complished deprivation as q claim fo'
some other position. is to much like the
man who murdered his parents. claiming
mercy upon the ground that be was sE
orphan. Supposing. through the uncer.
tsinties of politics, we should fail in Sc
curing Senator-would not the Northern
Tier have mighty weight in Congress
and in the State Government, as the re
suit of such brilliant management?

Too PURE FOR EARTH.-The Man.
haitian Independent is q heavy moral
paper. We observe that anything said
by exchanges against the reelection Of
Senator Pomeroy. is pronounced by the
Independent. low. Infamous. or disgrace
full. 1t never 6ads fault with articles in
opposition to other candidates. Against
them. even the Independent freely uses
the terms "bribery" and corruption"
and all that sort of thing. A Conven-
tion that instructs it's nominees to sup
port Pomeroy, is high.toned and patri-
otic but one that nominates candidate
unfriendly to him, is a poor concern. and
has failed to express Radical sentiments.
We would like to know how much mon
sy was invested to secure such high
toned organ. If Pomeroy should die.
and the Liberstor and Banner of Light

would surely 60 under. for want of mat

purpose Of working on their Road, but
really to vote in the coming election.
and elect Pomeroy Representatives for
the Western District of Brown and the
Southern District OF Nemahs, and to beat
George Graham for the State Senate.
The law requires residence of thirty
days in the Township or precinct, to en-
title one to vote. By some blunder. the
managers Of this affair got their men in
too late, SO that it will be only twenty
eight days on election day that they have
been there. Look out for them, and spot

BRowN AND NEMAHA.-George Graham

The Pomeroy men are making despsrate
efo,ts to beat him. They have got ont a
Democratic candidate, to keep that ele-
ment from going for Graham or his local
issues and one Gross, of Nemaha, is the
Pomeroy candidste-with these two men
to divide the legitimate vote, and by the
aid Of heavy impor,ations. they hope to
carry the District. Gross was member
Of the House last Winter, and was chief
ly distinguished for voting Just as the
