But then the Humboldtcrs kicked up
muss, and in consequence all former or
ders were suspended and it remained at
Humboldt another two or three months.
However, it finally went to Neodesha.
Now it goes to Independence. Pomeroy
wants so be reelected and he hoped to
fix this job up to his own advantage.
Wilson and Montgomery are each largely
populated and influential counties, but
Montgomery county has two, and more
likely three, citizens where Wilson has

for him that the necessity for United

exist! He has exhibited q vaeillation Of

and ne has lost in that land
district by his poltroonery. If the Of
fec had first gone to Independence and
there stayed, the people might perhaps
have concluded he had no axe to grind
and desired to act for their best interests.
There was demand that the Office should
be removed, for the greater accommoda-
ton of the settlers, and NeOdesha was
the town nearest the center of the dis
trict.
On a par with this action is the dis
posal of the Faola postoffice. 1t is an

was favored over scores of more dcserv-

simple reason that he is voluble with

scented morsels, styled "Pomcroy

1t las been stated of the Ottawa Jour-
nal, but with how much truth we do not
know, that on a recent sale Of the paper
Pomeroy furnished the purchase-moncy.
The Lawrence Tribune, it has been as

Tribune improves every opportunity to
laud Pomeroy and tell how he had such

These facts show that Pomeroy has

them themselves alone they do not
amount to much, and were it that other
and worse things have transpired We
should not feel disposed to call them up.
Pomsroy is charged with crimes and he
has not explained them away or attempt
cd to prove their falsity. lie stands con-
victcd and the people will be untrue to
themselves should they let them pass by
in inaction. 1t will be impossible to do
any thing with him while in Office, as he
is exempt by statutes Of limitation, buta
remedy is to be found in supplanting him
next winter with some wOrthier man.
The report of the late Legislative lnves-
tigating committee pointedly show that
he bought his way into the US. Senate.
He also stands charged with having &C.
cumulated large amounts of lands in dis
honest ways.
The prospects for his reelection arc
growing DINNER. Several counties have
spoken against him and others will fol-
low suit when the proper time arrives.
