On the fourth Thursday d August You
will be called on 10 exefciSe the thighest
privilege Of freemen. You will vote for q
Governor and other State officers, under
the new Constitution. We have the same
interest in the State that you haYe-no
more, no less. Hence we venture to ad.
dress you, as the subject Affects us, as II
does YOU ON
There are two candidates before the peo.
pie for the office Of Governor, One OF
them, Governor Jacob, has filed the Office
since March, 1871 = ny Vthoi choice ct The
Democratic and Conseryatiye pGrty1 and
has proved himself worthy Of the choice
by every act Of bis, administration; the
other, Mr., Camden, has gwen no evidence,
that we are aware Of, Of his peculiar fitness
Tor the place. The administration OF Gov
ernor Jacob did so much lcredit TO the
party that elected him, and the honesty Of
his course met such hearty approval
with the people, that his denomination
seemed 70 every Democrat, and.to every
right thinking man, as an assured TACT.
Yet the professional politicians, for pur.
poses OF their own, rejected him, and took
up q new man as the standard bearer OF
the party. We do not think It necessary
to assail the means by which MIR. Camden
secured the nomination for Governor; but
there is indisputable evidence that unfair
means were resorted to by the clique who
are running Mr.. Camden to suppress the
popular wish, and misrepresent the will of
the party. We assert that large major
ity OF the Democrats desired the election
OF Governor Jacob, to the office which he
has filed with SO much credit 70 himself,
and honor to the party. But the profess:
ional politiclans-the camp followers who
gather up the spoils after the vlctory-de.
termined that he should not be q capdi,
date. Thus, against tho wish Of an over
whelming majority OF the Democratic
voters Of the State, he was thrust aside.
Why was this doneS ItGovernot Jacob
was honest in his official action; II the PEG.
pie and the party acknowledged the wis.
dom Of his administration; II tho Dem.
ocrats and onservstives with a unanimity
unprecedented pointed 10 him with pride
as their selection, why was he not nomin {:
ated? 1t would be easy TO show that he
did not receive the nomination, because
certain politicians could not use him to
carry out their purposes, 1t is plain that
Governor Jacob was the first choice of an
overwhelming majority of the Dem.
ocratic and Conservative party; it Is equ.
ally plain that he was only Objectionable
to the political traders, because he could
not be used by them, and accordingly he
was set aside We propose to resist the
tyranny and arrogance OF the Ring. They
have stolen the honered name Of the Dem.
ocraic and Conservative psrty to elect q
man who they think may DE, more useful
70 their purposes. We call on you, Dem
ocratic and Conservative voters OF Kan.
awhs to unite with US in resisting the Re:
gency and the Ring, for the honor of our
party and the good OF the, State, We ask
you at the coming election, to give your
votes for Governor Jacob. q, true Demo.
crat, an honest man and 10 good officer.
He has never been false 70 his official
trust, nor to his party obligations; he 1t is,
whs has been betrayed by the Ring. n
