The Leavenworth Commercial, having
called Archie L. Williams, our candi-
date for Attorney General, drinking
Archie" Hon. John Martin, Demo-
cratic lawyer of Topeka, publishes in
Mr.. Williams behalf the following card :
TOPEKA, KAN, Oct. 26, 1870.
GENTLEMEN: In the daily Commercial of
the 18th inst, find letter from your Topeka
correspondent giving an account Of the Repub-
lican meeting held in this city on the evening
of the 18th inst. In this letter A. l.. Williams,
Esq, the Republican candidate for Attorney
General, is designated as ''Drinking Arehle."
] am sorry to see such personal slang introduce
ed into the canvass. 1t Is altogether unfair in
any case. and in this instance the charge aimed
at or insinuated against Mr.. Williams is I'm
true.
For the last three years l have perhaps
known Mr.. Williams intimately any gen.
tleman OF his acquaintance, and If he had been
in the habit of drinking. i am sure that i
should have known it, and take pleasure in
stating to you that your correspondent Is en-
tirely mistaken in insinuating that Mr.. Will
liams is in the habit of drinking anything
stronger than tea or coffee.
However guilty he may be in other respects.
(and the charge of being radical is sin enough
for one man TO bear) he is certainly a temper
ate man so far as his drinking is concerned.
/ hope you will exclude such personal as
saults from your paper hereafter.
Yours truly,
JOHN MARTIN.
The Topeka Commonwealth also says
that the charge that Mr.. Williams is in
the habit of INDUCING in strong drink,
is wholly unfounded. To what depths
this Democratic organ has sunk when it
must seek to make political capital by
attempting to blacken the character of a
worthy Republican candidate.

"a Mrs. Phillips, of Portsmoth, Ohio.
brought suit against Willis Calhoun, n retail
liquor dealer, for two hundred and fifty dol
lars for selling her husband liquor, thus caus-
ing him to neglect his business, under the law
OF last winter holding the retailer liable for
any damages that may be done by the person
TO whom liquor is sold, and IA jury has just
given her verdict for $40"
That's right. We believe the per-
son who is mean enough 10 coolly and
deliberately stand behind a counter and
sell to his fellow beings stuff that he
knows will injure them in every respect,
and degrade them faster than all other
agencies combined, just for a little
money, ought to be made to feel the
consequences in the most rigid way.
Every cent of his ill-begotten gains
ought to be taken from him and given
to the innocent sufferers of his nefari-
Gus business.

rhiers. Riggs led of in Douglas county, and
Murdoch follows suit with ''deuceV in Usage
Laurence Tribune.
1t seems impossible for this Clarke
organ to tell the truth. The truth is
that the Clarke men, finding they could
not control the senatorial convention
in Coffey and Usage, tried first to adj
journ for two weeks, in order to give
thep time to Scork upon the affections
of delegates. Failing in this, they with
drew from the convention, taking
with them all the delegates from Coffey,
eight in number. The Usage delegates,
eight in number, went ahead and nomi-
mated Mr.. Murdoch. What does the
Lawrence Tribune gain by thus falsi-
flying the facts?

Never, until the mental facnlties are

childhood and early youth, | have lis
tended to old men, relating the most
minute circumstances which occurred
sixty Or seventy years previous. They
would then undertake to relate some
thing which occurred during the past
week, and in FIVE minutes they would

it again, What wish to be understood

occurrences of long ago, while l may

judge of Che Supreme Court.


The Chillicothe papers, Republican,
Democratic and neutral, together with
the Vinton Record, have come out for
Milton L. Clark of Chillicothe, as q
candidate for Judge of the Supreme
Court of the State of Ohio. Now we
enter our most solemn protest against
this movement. Even the attempt to
fill the place once filled by Hitchcock,
Ranney, Thurman, and which is
now filled by Brinkerhoff, with such a
man as Clark, is a disgrace to the great
State of Ohio. Mr.. Clark is by no
means first class lawyer. He has had
no experience as a Judge, and is one
great big mass of overwhelming self
conceit and egotism. He is deserved
ly unpopular He was recently can
didate for State Senator, and was most
gloriously defeated If he is pressed as
a candidate, (or rather if he presses him
self, as we believe he is the prime NOV
er in the matter9 we shall have mere to
say, and will be more specific.
A short time ago we received from
w. A. Walden, of Steubenville, an ar
ticle cut from the Steubenville Daily
Herald, which we publish, Judge Nc
IlYaIne, it will be seen, has had ten
years experience as Judge Of the Com
mon Pleas. Mr. Walden, in his letter,
highly recommends Judge McIlvaine.
But here is the article from the Herald )
WHO Is TO SUCCEED JUDGE BRINKERHoFF?
From a correspondence which appeared in the
| Cincinnati Gazette of the 30th OF May, ultimo
between Hon. Stanley Matthews and Judge
! Jacob Brinkerhof the public learn with regret
| that the Judge declines q denomination, for the
! fourth term, having been before the people OF
| Ohio, already, three times, and having served
| fifteen years as member Of the Supreme Court
of Ohio, with signal ability, and to the credit OF
| the party that nominated and elected him to a
position of so much responsibility. AS Judge
BrinkerhoH Will not, under any clrcum
| stances, be q candidate again, and as the time
| for nominating a candidate approaches, it be-
| hooves the Republican party to cast about for Q
suitable candidate, one of high legal attain
ments and judicial experience, to fill his place
Such gentleman we are authorized to presen
to the Republicans of Ohio, in the name o
| Judge Geo. W. McIlvaine q resident of New
Philadelphia, Tuscarawas county, Ohio, and fol
ten years past, Judge of the Common Pleas
Courtin the Eighth Ohio Judicial District. Judge
McIlvaine is in the vigor of manhood, is fine
scholar, has q superior legal mind well culttYa
ted and is noted for the correctness and ability
with which he dispenses justice. As a successor
to Judge Brinkerhoh, the Republicans of East
ern Ohio will present Judge McIlvaine to thu
representatives of the party at the next Stat
Convention, confident of his ability to fill th
place made vacant by the declination OF Judg
Brnkerhoff to his own credit, to the honor o
the Judiciary and to the satisfaction of the peo
pie
