the party, while they were bargain
ing with and selling themselves to
the radicals. So Ear as / am individ-
uaily concerned this II OF but little
moment, but the effect upon the fa~|
ture of the democratic party In this
county, is more than can BE-, q
present, realized. or some OF thee
men / propose TO write aosr, warning
the democracy against placing my
confidence In them In the future.
The men whom shall mention Fere
those who were used As puppee be-
fore the public by tine prime npvers
who palled this wires behiIS the
scenes, and who, when the proper
tune comes, shall be knewf of all
men, Is they are now well known
and despised by all Ole men
OF both parties In this osntaunity.
The most eontemptibia of those
who have acted 80 base q art In de-
feating the democracy ofPettawat-
saInie county, l. JOHN 4. TURK,
President Of the Denofstic Club.
This Turk, with the kisy of Judas
yet warm upon his Iipsland protes-
talions Of devotion to denocracy yet
lingering upon his bnngue, fresh
from the demonssratiAa Of the pre-
vious Saturday, iafsed, after the
manner of Judas, am for the same
reasons, to hetray lhe democracy,
and made more has e than did Peter
to deny the faith b had professed;
and, on the day ofEelection, peddled
bogus tickets to gent the democrat
ic nominees for cdlnty offices. This
Turk, compared with whom Esau
twho sold his bythright for a mess
of pottagel was hn honorable man,
and Arnold sho betrayed his
country was sfpatriot, has earned
the price of hb treachery, and will
no doubt gatfer the fruits thereof,
as did Essau add Arnold, to be des~
pissed and colkem ned ever after by
all honorable men,
But this Ihrk was not alone in his
baseness. j I'M II. WARNER, whose
professionsbf Democracy, and pre-
tended dey btion to party, was loud
and veheueut, a, 50 engaged In the
dirty contsmptibIe baseness of polit-
ical recre$ncy, and attempted fraud
upon thu Democracy, by having
printed ald circulat ID tickets under
the heading of " RATIONAL Demo-
cratic Tcket," with .he name of the
eandidate fnE Clerk Of the District
Court omitted then from, and the
nanles of other car idates wrong
fully $pellcd thereon This Warner
rt'r tire Iioulinauon
nc the hands of the l. emocracy for
the Alice OF Clerk 0i the District
CouH and done all I'll ut money and
triclSery could do to 81 C are the NOM
inatton. The Convent on mes--an
inftkulal ballot was hid, and Joan
III. Warner received thee votes cut
of the forty-eight votes ca st, while l
resolved, without soiici a ton on my
pert, aad without having mentioned
my name to u delegate in that Con-
veution as q candidate, acesay-osse
votes. After the result Of the infor-
nal ballot was announce q, j. ID
Test withdrew the name of John III.
Warner, and pledged the Conven~
EtioR and the Democracy that ne,
Warner, would abide the aston OF
and support the nominees of the
Convention, and that, too, after 1t
was known who would be the prom
inent candidates before the Conven-
ton. I was nominated on. the first
regular ballot. Having thus failed
to get even an endorsement from
that Convention, because of hi well
known reputation In this conimu-
nifty, he Immediately set himself to
work with few others protesting
Democracy, but possessing none, to
secure the defeat of the Democratic
ticket.
Nor was he alone in this business
there we're others, and among them,
who comes publicly before the peo-
pie, 10 JOHN w. COOPER, who rode
out into one OF the country town
saips on the day of election and Sc
cured, by his operations, a majority
for the radical candidate for Clerk OF
the District Court of eleven votes,
when Seymour received one OF q
majority. There are others who
operated with these men--pulling
the wires behind the scenes while
their puppets danced In public. AS
have said, they are we'll known In
this community, and shall be known
OF ali men when the prnper time
comes and they ever attempt to
raise their heads above the political
horizon and gather warmth from the
rays Of the political sun of deanoc-
racy.
Democrats of rottawattamie coun-
tn, beware how you repose political
confidence In these men hereafter,
they WOO for fapors, and kiss only 70
| bayay. s
Yours respectfully
