We have already urged with such
earnestnes a. we were capable Of the
importance Of having the preliminary
meetings largely attended in order that the
delegates chosen may represent the whole
people, andDst IL rshes ef asys faction Of
our party. OF a kindred nature is the re-
quest that the primary meetings select their
very hest citizens as delegates to the State
Convention. If such men are selected and
vent to Topeka they will be able to do null
Justice to our county, to the State and to the
party. TL~ Mn a,sye the i4taFgePce =
nominate the hes; men before the Conven-
ton, and there will be no danger Of their be.
ing bought, tempered with or unduly infu.
enced in any manner. This is the sure way
Of providing for Lcavenworth county, and
the only sure way. Honorable and intelli-
gen, men will have weight and influence in
the Convention.
When the New York Tribune, ten .yeart
ago, WAS commenting on the Chicago Con-
ven,ion which nominated Lincoln, it said
that Kansas had only four votes in the Con-
vention, but that the influence of those votes
was greatly disproporioned to their number.
The men and the cause they represented
had a veighOfsnore thar twenty votes frau
some localities. 1t is the same in every Con
vention of every party. And it is very
strange that this fact IL not seen, recognized
and acted upon. We hope it will he thi:
wear. The issues before the Convention are
of the most vital character. We must be
faithfully and ably represented.

The call of the State Central Committee
seems to give general satisfaction, and it IL
because the people are opposed to the Clarke
crew of corruptionists. The Usage Chroniete
saws:
'The State Central Committee met at Law
renee ON last Tuesday. Clarke's official
crew. headed by himself, were present in
force from every portion of the State, rs also
many good MEN who have grown tired Of the
shameless manner Of the bargains and s,le-
of our Congressman, and the unenviable
name We have received in Washington and
the States.
''Under the call Usage county will have At
least four, and We guess FIVE, delegates in ths
Convention. The best that We could hops
for under Sidney's arrangement, would have
been two. Upon the announcement Of thu
determination of the committee, some OF
Clarke's friends openly acknowledged tina
such Convention would beat Clarke. The
U. s. Assessor declared that Clarke woult
haul off and try his luck before the Legisla
ture. II was grand triumph for the people
and let them squirm. The Clarke organ

help themselves, bat il is with poor face

he did sacrifice his Life N the cause.. He,
the editor of the BuLIdis, appears TO be
strongly opposed to the labor reform party
taking any hand in politics, bising its prin-
ciples on equal rights to all men and special
itself? Have not the workingmen right to
form party, especially upon such princi-
pies Is these? I think they have, bat he is
afraid that some of the m0noPolists that
own him, soul and body, viii not be able to
pay him his wages If the labor reform
party ID successful and his matters are de-
throned; and in regard to the Chinese ques-
ton, he misquotes Mr.. Trevellicks posi-
ton in his address on that subject. He
says Mr.. Trevellick wants to stop Chinese
emigration. Trevelick does not say 80;
here is what he SAYS, and now wish to call
your attention to another great and alarming
evil that is being forced by capitalists upon
VA, and that is the importation, mot emigra-
ton, mark you) of Chinese into our midst, to
cheaper the labor of our workingmen and
women Of our country; ''and here We do not
wish to be misunderstood or misrepresented,
for We are ready to welcome the oppressed
people of all nations, provided they come as
emigrants, to become part and parcel OF US
~ q people and adapt themselves to our laws
and institutions Sc" Does that language
show that he is opposed to the emigration
of any people Of any nation? think It does
not. do not believe there is a man in the
State of Kansas, to-day, that is not owned bv
some monopolist, or some corporation, but
what will after reading the address, applaud
it upon the whole. He (the editor Of the
Bulletin harps a great deal in his article
about Trevellick and the Labor Congress
being opposed to the emigration of foreigners.
He says, eff he (TreyeIlickj could only shut
out the emigration of cheap labOrers from
Europe and Asia, and run wages up to ten
dollars day, what a paradise this country
would be for mechanics" There is not a
sentence, no, not word in the whole adj
dress, directly or indirectly, against the emf
grafton to this country of any people on the
face of the earth, only against the importa-
ton of the Monaghan race, for a purpose
worse than modern slavery. think the
editor of the Bulletin is becoming alarmed at
the strides of the labor reform party, and con-
sequently mis-quotes Mr.. Trevellick, for some
purpose known to himself; perhaps to try to
retard tine progress of the labor reform party,
especially in this State. But We, the work.
ingmen, are determined to know the truth,
Notwithstanding the opposition Ofthe Bulletin.

HUMBOLDT, August 18th, 1870.
10 the Editor Of The Times: --. 49,. .-.
DEAR SIR: 1t may be interesting to napy
of your readers to know that e. Lark's Show
has opened up in the Neosho Valley. Clarke
himself is somewhere south on the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas Railroad. One of his sneak
ing pimps, in the shape Of one Olney, form
erly Clerk of the House Of Representatives,
put in an appearance here yesterday. He
was Stunned on the sreet'by all good citizens
who are not politicians. He finally cornered
a Federal Office holder in the back room of a
law Office. Of course he had land business.
Clark is coming, and those who fatten on his
recommendations must show their hands.
Clarke could not get a more characteristic
tool to do his dirty work than this man
Olney. If Charles Dickens was living, and
wanted some one TO sit for portrait Of
Uriah Heep, he would never pass this
lick-spittle Olney.. ...-..
You may rest assured that Allen County is
all right. She will be fully represented at
the State Convention, but not delegate for
Clarke. do not know of man in Hum
boldt that has SO far lost his selfrespect as to
openly advocate the .pretentiOns OF Sid.
Clarke Respectfully yours,

Ffua the Council Grove Advertiser.
We find this sweetscsntsd 1ews in Tues
days Topeka Co~moaseahA:
''Last Saturday night miscegenated we'd
ding took place in North Topeka, q tie rB-
idence of John Dennis, colored. A white
man, named King, was married to q colored
woman, named Lewis. Rev. Payne per-
formed the ceremony. The bride has hus-
band and two children living five miles
northeast of Topeka, and after the wedding
she sent out for the children. The amalga-
mated couple left for EmPosia yesterday
morning."
From other information We infer the item
points out couple answering the description
1t Council Grove. An attorney ut law at
this place, by the name Of N. W. King, and
black woman, named Lewis, are living
together ~ man and wife. We do not call
in question the right Of white person to
marry black one, but it IL strange that one
of King's anaecedent professions and history
should take the step. King is a Democrat

full blown rebel, having been a Captain in
the rebel army. Though disfranchised, he
took particularly active part last fall in the
county contest against the Republicans, and
on the evening Of the election, when it be-
came known that the Democracy were sue
cessfal, he gathered together in his Office y
number Of his political order, employees on
the road then being built, and who had
participated in the actions Of the day, who
made the night hideOus with whiskey, and
applying explosives Of ''abOlitiOnists," with
oaths and words Of Obscenity attached, To the
defeated. We do not know as Mr.. King
sanctioned such action, more than BY permit
| ing the men to remain in his office, and We
recall the instance merely to note the change
in his feeling in short period. He has been
resident of Council Grove for nearly the
past year and halt, and during that time
has been very successful in his practice, and
has stood high in the profession At times
he has been quite dissipated and his intem-
perance has seemed to be his only drawback.
We have heard, though We hardly know
where, that Mr.. King has wife living in
Texas, who is perfect lady. lie has in
l formed It's time and again, that he had been
married man, but that his wife was dead.
Mrs. King, or Mrs. Lewis, has about one
