and sputtersd away in fearful manner
last week, about the corruption, fraud
end. faece ofsthe Peoples Convention
This eminent q statesman has . faculty
Of schooling OF his mouth" behind the
bush, and engaging in al the local Pollti'
cal fghts - "backer." He assumes to
control and dictate the voting of his fac
ton, - Il it members were his slaves,
and the slightest deviation from the mode
Of proeedsrs, - laid down BY him, brings
forth from his dignifed q stomach q
belching that peals ont like the rolling Of
the thunderbolts of Jupiter. He con-
sidess himself . dsmi-god, and that the
earth is 1t his command to do his bidding.
But once in two or three years he is
" willing to lay 1t the feet Of his constit-
usncy an empire, to accept the humble
position "-of most any thisg:he can get.
A pretty spectacle for . chronic Office
seeker like him to denounce SO heavily
those who have such can inordinate and
ungodly thirst tor place" The people
of the State Of Kansas have 30 little
knowledge OF this "two-cent I" man, that
he has never been thought Of for one Sc
rious moment for any position. He
would like 10 impress upon the public
the fact that his lofty u Craftsmanship
renders il impossible for him to take any
intercst in local elections publicly; but
We find him in company with all the
snail politicians, intriguing, wire.work-
ing and rolling up mud, while his meni-
s!s throw it. Such, in brief, is the man
who frantically pitches at the peoples
ticket. Now, what does he say!
He says that the Peoples Mass Con-
vcntion was packed. He knew that he
was stating wha. was !alss when he said
this. The fact is the Convention was
largely attended from all parts Of the
county, and was the largest nominating
assembly ever held in this county. What
was his convention last Saturday? AL
the men nominated were just the men
that we prophesied would be nominated
three weeks ago. A little town ring had
made up their slate, and hauled and tug
ged, and beslobbered the delegates until
they were pledged. Talk about wire
ys4kiag, rings, &c.
He calls the peoples tickle. a race of
ofiiee-seekers. Can he point to more
than two persons that ever have been
candidates. for office before! No. Look
1t his own ticket and contrast this
matter.
He calls tho peoples ticket race of
boilers, and " thereby hangs . tale!"
Who bolted in 1867! The distinguished
statesman and his friends. Who boltcd
in 1868! The distinguished statesman
and his friends.
Who bolted the senatorial convention
in 1862 The distinguished statesman
snd his friends. Verify, they are ever
ready to bolt.
The friends of the peoples ticket are
ever ready to compare notes with the
Herald's editor, pro tenn, or any Of his
friends on their honesty in politics; for
there is no moro corruption and dis
honesty in politics in Tammany than in
that little ring Of his.
He exhorts the Democracy, Is doth the
editor in semblance Of tho Herald, to
stick to party organization. &c. 1t is
some time . good deal Of q question
whether these fellows are more interest
ed in the success Of the Republican or the
Democratic party, for they are 10 solicit
Gus about what the Democrats propose
to do. a
Rant, rip and roar, for NO know his
style but do 1t openly.
