The Emporia news. [volume] (Emporia, Kan.) 1859-1881, 1870-10-28

The CIarkeites are doomed in this Represen-
tative district. All their sly lodges and bold
sorties are only making the matter worse for
them. T. C. Hill will most certainly be elect
ed by big majority. The ridiculous charges
that are being trumped up against him, prove
the weakness of the opposition. Ne reasona-
BILE man can deny that large majority of the
voters in this district are, to-day, in favor of
Mr.. Hill, and the only hope Of the Clarke men,
is to overcome this majority. Hence the I'M
blushing lies that are now being circulated to
effect this result. If the voters are honest
men, where they find that these charges are
utterly false, they will spurn the men who
make them. We see evidences every day, that
they will do so. We have not heard a charge
against Mr.. Hill yet, that won't make him
more votes than he will lose by it, before the
election is over.
4 One says, she used to be q democrat" Well,
suppose he did2 Have not these same men
supported men before, who used to be demo-
| cratsl And are they not supporting such
men now! But not one Of them can prove
| that Mr.. Hill ever voted democratic ticket,
! unless it was for township officers, while we
! can prove that he was a member of the terri
torial free state central committee in 1853, and
voted for President Lincoln, and he has voted
| the republican ticket ever since. He is now
openly endorsed by the leading republicans in
this district, who have known him from five
to fifteen years. What more proof do our
newly acquired citizens wantP
The charge new being handled with affec-
| tatious zeal, that Mr.. Hill swindled the coun-
/ ty out OF S15O,OOo, through the instrumentality
of the railroad company, will make those
laugh who have sense enough to comprehend
the righteousness o: the idea. The whole
thing is nothing less than u sheer fabrication,
without the least grounds whatever to origi-
nate it upon. When Mr.. Hill and his friends
prove the base Islander to be utterly malicious
and unwarranted, are the voters Of this dis
trict going to drop it and take up the next
lfalsehood that is started, to make votes against
him, or will they open their eyes to the fact
that the Clarke men are trying to deceive
them and make tools OF themf The men who
rely upon such efforts as these TO carry their
point. are welcome to all they can make by
them.
Another equally absurd idea is being harp
ed upon, viz: that she is an Emporia man,
We had supposed that old saw about worn
out, as it has been brought in by the party
now using it, at about every effort Of theirs tc
humbug the people during the last ten years
But they evidently think 1t will catch some
votes, and have concluded to try it once more
We don't know just how they make it out
whether his investing his all In Americas, and
making every exertion in his power for th'
last eleven years to build up q town here, in
GLIDING his donation Of 1900 worth Of town
lots to that end, was little trick to kill Ameri
Gus and build up Emporia, or not. We dom
, imagine we would risk much in asserting tina
the manwho starts this report row, has neye
given one dollar, where T. C. Hill has givel
one thousand for the benefit Of Americas. I
tney can make any man in this country believ
that I. c. Hill is an enemy TO Americas, "
nope that man will vote their ticket.
The fact is, Mr.. Hill has proved himself no
Only ever ready and willing TO work for tn
interests Of the people, but also abundantl
; competent to be the leading man in all matter
pertaining TO their interests. No man can b
J. brought out who can beat him for Representa-
Tive in this district.
