N. n. Waad

A special effort is being made to defeat MT.
Wood for County Attorney. The Democrats are
exhorted to vote against him, because he declined
longer to be tied TO the dead carcass of the Dem
ocrstic party; and strange to say, RePuoicans
are appealed to vote against him, because ne lett
the Democratic and united with the Republican
party. The Opposition welcome all recruits
from the Republican party, and do not scruPie
to nominate them for Office on short notice.
Some of the best men in the Republican party
were once Democrats, and We do not think the
party has shut its doors to those who may yet
see the error of their ways.
There is another reason, and strong one, why
Mr.. Wood should be elected. Douiphan County
pays an enormous sum every year. in the way OF
costs in criminal cases. Most of the cases are
sent up from Justices of the Peace, who for want
of proper knowledge and advice, think it is the
only way to secure costs. With an Attorney who
understood and appreciated his duty, majority
of the cases would never go beyond the Justices
Court. He would go before the Justice, aud
bring the case to a conclusion there. If the case
were a simple breach Of the peace or an assault,
be would convict the offender before the Justice,
and have the proper fine imposed-and not have
the prisoner bound over to Court for grand lar
ccnceny or murder, only to be acquitted there,
at the cost of the County. Mr.. Wood confines
his practice to Doniphan County, never taking
cases in the Courts of other Counties. He is,
therefore, always to be found at h"me, ready for
business, and if elected, would make it a special
business to attend preliminary examinations be
fore Justices of the Peace, and endeavor to con-
g.. Al. rs. Lii I,af NJ
would save to the County, in year, more than
double the amount Of his salary. Not wishing
to disparage the abilities or merits of any of the
opposing candi dates, We believe that n. ID. Wood
is the most suitable man for County Attorney.

FIFTH AND LAST GIFT CONCERT
IN AID THE
PUBLIC LIBRARY OF KENTUCKY.
CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

The management have determined to have the
drawing of the Fifth and Last Gift Concert OF
the Public Library of Kentucky on the 30th OF
November next. We believe that all the
tickets will be sold, and that the drawing will he
a full one; but whether all are sold or not, the
drawing will nevertheless certainly come off on
the day appointed.
The special object of this card is to call meet
ing of the tcket-hoders at Public Library Hall,
on the Goth of November, to make arrangements
in connection with the committee appointed by
the Trustees to superintend the counting of the
tags representing the number of tickets sold.
While there is no actual necessity for the pres
ence of ticket-hO'ders, as under our arrangements
the interests of all are equally cared for, yet at
the same time l would greatly prefer that as
many of those interested as can, wonld attend
this meeting, and see each for himself how per-
fectly fair and impartial the distribution must
be.
Every arrangement has been made for the
drawing-but little more than a month remains
for the sale of the remainder of the tickets aud
whatever is done must be done promptly.

REPUDTATEs PARRoTT.-The Leavenworth dp-
peal, "Reform" paper, goes back on Marc. Par
rott as a candidate for Congress. 1t publishes
the following article, under the caption of THAT
Pink of Purity" :"
is remarkable how hypocrisy, in the dis
guise of promised reform, has made headway in
our political system. For instance, the veriest
demagogue, who has been kicked ont of every
party he has ever belonged TO, secured the Re-
form nomination for Congress in one of the dis
tricts of the State. This seemed to be all that
was necessary to make him a man who would re-
ally accomplish some important revolution, and
straightway all the gullibe individuals in the
district rushed to bis support. Fortunately, the
district comes up TO the average for intelligence
and this monntebank will not be elected We
DO not refer to Marcus j. Parrott: oh, certainly
noti He is the pink of purity; he is the yery
embodiment of virtue and reform. He has de-
voted all OF his life, and spent three fortunes to
accomplish reformation in-bis stomach

Nor COOP DoCTRINE.-We must take issue
with an assertion made by one of our correspond
ents, this week In exhorting the Democrats to
vote the Peoples ticket, he says they cannot in
honor do otherwise, as they have bound them
selves in covenant with their Republican breth-
rem to do so. Now, as We look at il, those DEM
ocrats who participated in the Peoples Conven-
tion entered into such covenant, and are in
honor bound to support the ticket; but those
who took no part in the Convention or the pri-
maries, entered into no such covenant, and can
vote for Col. Johnston, Boney Wood, or any
other candidate not on the Peoples ticket, with
ont violating any obligation or pledge of honor.

The Election.

Tb;s 1. the last issue of the Chief before the
election. Next Tuesday will decide the contest
The canvass has been pretty thorough, and IN
many instances warm, and We presume the voters
are we'll posted on the issues of the campaign.
For ourselE we have been unable to feel any
prsat interest in the contest for Comfy offices
but in State, Congressional and Legislative can
Gidates we do feel an interest. Republicans Will
be considerably split up in voting for County Of
ficers but they should take care that they do
not suffer the State and Congressional tickets to
run behind. Kansas is not ready to 60 over to
the Democracy, and we have no fears that she
will go over. But nothing will be left undone
to defeat the Republican Congressman. The
Democracy have been calculating upon the
time when they shall have majority IN
Congress. The recent heavy gains in several
large States have encouraged them, SO that they
are even figuring out majority in the next Con-
gress, and they calculate upon Kansas coming to
their did. Let us see that che does not do it.
The Legislature, too, is important. The Dem
ocrats have secured the nomination of out-snd-
out Democrats for the Legislature, wherever it
was possible, and expect in that way to smusgle
in majority of the Legislature. They have done
it in this County, in Atchson, in Leavenworth,
in Wyandotte, and so on. If Republicans do their
duty, this nice little game will be defeated.

CHANGE IN THE TICKET.-Mrs. Hawkins has
withdrawn her name as a candidate for County
Superintendent of Public Instruction, and those
members of the Central Committee who have
been consulted, have agreed to place H. N. Hop
kins, Mrs. Hawkins competitor in the Conven-
tion, on the ticket in her stead. This remedy of
bluudsr comes just late enough to place Mr..
Hopkins at disadvantage, and not give him q
fair showing. Thousands of tickets are already
circulated in the County, containing Mrs. Hawk
ins' namei and very many Republicans have
pledged their support to Mr.. Rose, who would
probably have stood by the whole ticket, had Mr.
Hopkins been placed on it earlier.
