a CLEVER EEsaCsE
Hudson SOEasnaIed by "a lit
tie Fraud.
How FIrey Was Beaten.
a Esformer Disgusted.

We have heretofore alluded to the
fact that III. j. frey, of this county
was tricked out OF the Reform nonina-
ton for Congress in this district. A
correspondent Of the Chmmonw calth
writing IRON Silver Lake, Shawnee
county, tells bow it was done, without
mincing words. This is not the first
time delegates have been worked into
a Reform convention in violation OF
all rules of propriety and decency.
Hear the correspondent:
/ have just read in the last Issue of
the Topeka Record that at tie recent
'Reform" convention at Emporia, this
representative district-the rural, inno-
cent Fifty -siXth-had the unspeakable
misfortune to have a representation
there in the parsons OF S. ID. Maedon-
aid, G. w. Spencer, and j. G.. SwaZe,
who are ali residents of the city of To-
peka and of the Fifty-seYenth distric {,
and not one of whom had any authori-
ty for assuming to be and act in the ca
paclty of legitimately elected delegates
from this district.
It is quite apparent that the nOmi-
nation OF Major Hudson was obtained
by the most glaTing fraud, as the three
spurious votes from this district were
sufficient to control tic result. Had
these votes been thrown ont, Mr. FL
rcy would unquestionably have receiy-
ed tie nomination.
/ at one time thought that possibly
some good might eventually come ont
OF this reform business: but, when
saw that the very gentlemen, who, in
this county, were assuming to control
the movement. and who were making
the strongest protestations against the
iniquities of existing parties, boldly
perpetrating the fraud of giving this
district q voice in that convention,
when nobody living here was delegat-
ed or authorized to cast single vote
Tor us in that convention, quickly
made up my mind that had better 20
back where the most contemplate
township politician wonld scorn TO do
80 mean thing as that. | could pos
sibly have endured having any decent,
respectable gentlemen do this thing
but to lEave sHeh. chaps as Swayze,
Macdonald ami Spencer, undertake to
do it, piles on 4 load that we fellows
up here can't staggeT under. Ii Major |
Hudson really has tile good sense that |
he is represented as possessing, i |
havH't the least hesitation in saving
that, had he lived in tie county long |
enough to have found ont where the |
seth district was, he would not have
accepted political honors obtained in |
that way. jim.

fall back afterwards for supplies,

received there, it seems that Gen.
Miles is practically corralled; in

There has been some desperate
fighting with the Indians on the
Wichita river, though the battles,
from the small number engaged,
will excite little attention. Six
couriers for supplies were surprised
on the 18th inst, by l25 Comanches,
and after gallant defense, in which
one of their number was killed and
three were wounded, repulsed the
saYages, killing twelve of them.
