HUNGRY Contractors. A new
conner, the other day, contempla-
ting building, left word up town,
as he started down for dinner, that
he would like to see and consult
some contractor and builder. In
one hour after that, he was met
and made acquainted with just
seventeen contractors and builders
in walking Conc square from the
Douglas Aveue House to Main
street. So much pleased was he
with the spirit of promptness and
enterprise of our mechanics that he
let the contract for a $4,000 build
ing before the sun went down.

How ELECTIONS ARE LOST AND
WON.-State of Kansas, Chase
County, ss. T. p. Cochran, being
duly sworl., says: That sometime
in the spring or summer of 1872,
one j. G. Whine, of Toledo town
ship, came to this affiant and au-
thorized this affiant 10 say to one
Wayne Lee, the then treasurer of
Toledo township, that he, Winnie,
would pay to the said Lee the sum
of $3.50, if he, Lee, would deposit
in the hands of one j. w. McWil-
liams the bonds of Toledo township,
&c.
State of Kansas, Cease CouA-
ty, IS. j. w. McWilliams being
duly sworn, says: That
the said j. G. Whine delivered the
$3.50 to the said j. w. McWilliams,
which money was placed on depos-
it to the order of Wayne Lee, when
Lee should deliver up the bonds,
&c.
The above are the portions of the
affidaYits referred TO by Messrs.
Cochran and McWilliams in the
cards published elsewhere. These
circulated on the eve of
election day, it is probable, very
materially effected the result. They
were circulated am Ong honest men,
who would not support man prov
ed guilty of dishonest transactions
by the oaths of two citizens. Now
when it is too late to effect the re-
suit. we haYe cards stating that these
afiidavits were, in one case, obtained
fraudulently, and in the other the
result of q disordered brain.
The wild attack on character
through the medium of loosely
affidavits, gotten up for
election purposes, should teach
every one to distrust the midnight
election circular and to shun the
sponsors of them.-Chase County
Leader.
