GEORGE I. ANTHONY.

For the last week or ten DAYS, two or
three papers in this State have been pub
fishing pufis Of George I. Anthony, evident
ly written by George I. Anthony, advocat-
ing George I. Anthony for Governor. There
are two things George T. Anthony can do
letter than other man in Kansas: One is
to talk about the honesty and ability OF
George T. Anthony, and the other is TO help
some railroad to make a big steal. Ills
whole career in Leavenworth has been noted
for Just these two things. George I. Antho-
nv has aided Caldwell and Smith in every
fraud they have perpetrated upon this eoun-
ty, and has helped them to carry through
every steal. When Joy was ready TO come
to Leavenworth with his railroads and make
this his headquarters, George T. Anthony
was sent to see him, by the County Board,
to learn on what terms he would come
but Caldwell didn't want him here; he
wanted to keep Leavenworth to himself,
ready for the next steal, and therefore An
thony, as the servant of Caldwell, fixed up
and made to the Board false report. saying
that he had interviewed the owners oil the
Joy roads, and they did not want TO come ON
any terms. This was such glaring
falsehood that Mr.. Joy wrote
letter pronouncing the report entire
ly false, and saying that such state
ment had never been made to anybody, but
ON the other hand he was anxious to come
20 Leavenwor,h and was only kept away
because he could not get the few miles OF
track owned by Caldwell and Smith without
paying three prices for it. To assist Cald-
well and Smith in their scheme TO bleed
Jov, George I. Anthony sacrificed the inter-
isis of Leavenworth county and city, and
prevented the Joy roads from coming to this
place. The people of Leavenworth are
familiar with these facts They know George
T. Anthony as the tool OF Alexander Cald-
well, and if they had to vote for one or the
other, they would prefer tosupport Caldwell.

COMING TO THE FAIR.

The papers in different parts of the State
are encouraging the farmers to come to the
State Fair. In Cowley county the managers
of the county fair intend to bring up all
their first-premium articles to be exhibited
at the State Fair. This is good idea, and
other counties should adopt the same policy.
The Winfield Courier SAYS:
The coming fair of our county is expected
to eclipse any former fair held in this coun-
ty; besides the premiums are to be paid in
full, and the county agent of the Patrons of
Husband ~ is going to take all Of our first
premium articles to the State Fair at Leav-
enworth, free of expense, where the prem
iums are very iberal-and the winners
are published through the associated press
throughout the entire Union. Cowley county
farmers. here is good opportunity to show
the world what YOU can do, Notwithstanding
irou;h, grashoppers, etc. Bring along with
You to the fair some OF your best products,
Il they are not as good as in former years.

SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

The Parsons Sun, the home organ Of Mr..
Reynolds, gives up the contest, comedies
Cobb's nomination to be foregone conclu-
sion, and very handsomely falls into line
with his supporters. In this, Mills friends
show their good sense Deacon Houston,
under the same circumstances, would have
commenced abusing the man who beat him,
bolted the nomination, gone ont Of the party,
and thus have butted his head against the
wall, but Milt has more principle and more
sense. The Sun says:
Mr. Reynolds being virtually ont Of the
race our next choice, far above all Others,
is the Hon. S. A. Cobb. Col. Cobb has got
the reputation, the experience and the abil
ity. He is the friend Of the poor and OPP
pressed wherever they may be found, or
against whatever power or organization they
may struggle, as will be readily seen by ex-
tracts from his Leavenworth speech pub
lished in the Sun two weeks ago. He is
bold, resolute and energetic, possessing in an
eminent degree, the very qualities in which
both Col. Woods and SENATOR Simons are
deficient. The vast interests of the settlers
on the Usage ceded lands their hopes, sheir
homes and firesides, all demand that the dele
gates to the Humboldt convention from the
ceded lands should vote for Col. Cobb, first
and last and all the time We cannot afford
to do otherwise than court and secure Lis
friendship He has vet another session to
serve in Congress and will be at Washington
at the very time our great land suit will come
before the tribunal of last resort for final
adjudication and settlement. That he may
do us incalculatle good as representative in
Congress this winter no one of ordinary intel
ligence will for moment doubt. Hence it
is the duty of representatives, sent by the
people to cast their suffrage in the Hum
boldt convention, to do everything they can
to enhance their interests, and those intercsts
demand that Col. Cobb should have the votes
of the delegates from the Usage ceded lands.

Our correspondent 81. H. B." who writes
from Southern Kansas, sent us letter about
six weeks ago in relation 10 Indian sllairs,
In which he stated that Agent Miles had re-
quested the Government to send troops to the
border to punish the savages. Superintend-

our correspondent was mistaken; that few
troops were needed upon the border to be

expresses what everybody believes will be
the end OF one OF the chief actors i'm the
"great sorrow:'
Acquitted and deiiied by his flock, Mr..
Beecher is to have new church and an in.
creased salary. But poor Mrs. Tilton, who
has been induced to blast herself and sacri-
fee her children in her effort to save him

it will do for her. 4 small cottage for a year

II. ]. SALTER.

Onr suggestion Of yesterday morning, that
NJ. J. Salter, President Of the Settlers Pro-
tective Association on the Usage Coded
Lands should be nominated to-day for Lieu
nant-GoEenor, meets with unqualified ap-
probation. Every Republican in Leaven-
worth favers the nomination, and all agree
that the Convention conld not 60 a wiser
act. Mr.. Saltes is man Of integrity sd
ability, he would honor the position, and his
name on the ticket would be worth ten
Thousand votes. In addition 10 all this i
would be but a simple act OF justice, and .
proper recognition Of the claims al the
Osase se.tlcrs.

il was copied in Harper's Monthly. II was

to il, and tie Rerae accepted and printed it.
A reader of the Re,ue translated il from
the French for Esay Saturday, in which j,
Was Published with something Of fourth
