To the Pc0lp1c OF JOHNSON county.
We the undersigned Delegates representing
the townships of Shawnee, Oxford and Aubrey
in the Republican County Convention, held
at the city of Olathe on the 30th day of July,
1870, believing that the nomination of A..
Smith Devenney, for Senator was secured by
fraud and corruption, and made in the in
terests of ring Of corruptionists, hereby re-
pudiate him at the polls.
We make this appeal in the knowledge
that money was corruptly used in the inter
ests of said Devenney among delegates Of
the Convention, in the knowledge that one
of our number was offered a money bride to
cast his vote for said Devenney; in the
knowledge that one of our number was Of
fered the nomination of Probate Judge in
consideration of his casting his vote for said
Devenney.
For these and other reasons which we
might mention, we call upon the people Of
johnson County to repudiate the nomination
of said Devenney as fraud; as a shameful
attempt to force the people of johnson
County by bribery and corruption to place a
Senator in the Kansas Legislature in the in
terest of a corrupt ring of unprincipled poll
ticians whose sole aim is to rob the people Oi
johnson County of their just rights, and to
this end we mos. earnestly recommend to the
people Of the county to place in nomination
a man for State Senator, in whom confidence
can be safely placed and who will honestly
and faithfully represent the people in the
State Legislature.
