RJoD. me RanSas City journal.
The following letter reached us
through the Post ONCE, yesterday
morning. II will create a breeze among
the faithful In Kansas City, or We-are
mistaken. We have no acquaintance
with Brick Pomeroy, and we wish none.
While we think the letter does injus-
tice 10 the Advertiser, which, even from
a Democratic rebel standpoint, is no
afIk-and-water sheet, we nevertheless
nnblish II as we received il. PomeroY
was present at the st. Louis Conven-
ton and made two speeches, one in
side and one outside the hail, but we
do not notice, either in the AdVeTtiSer
or the st. Louis Republican, a word Of
either. What is the matter2 =,
These two sheets may be ashamed of
their company, but II Brick Pomeroy
stumps the State this fall, he will make
a rafting among the dry bones, and
wherever such man goes, an In
creased vote for the Republican and
loyal ticket is sure TO follow. lJfs %

South, trodden as she Is under the

And, in the name OF human nature,
who were those hounds and hirelings?
