EDITOR REPUELICAN:-Ihat no.
torious Office hunter, LATE Dawson,
has been at this place trying to trade,
and pretending to and with the Re
publicanS here that he and his friends
would vote for Mckillop in NotiaWay
county, if ifMckillop's friends in Atch-
iSOn would vote for him, Dawson
and in that way secure the election
of Dawson and McKiliop. lie argues
that is the constitution should be
non-partiSan there should be one
Democrat and one Republican elect
cd. But he did not point to Il single
Democratic District in the State,
where the Democrats are willing to
elect a Republican Delegate. aud | am
confident that there will not be a Re
publican elected iii in any District
where the Democracy can possibly
defeat him and elect Democrat. Mr..
LAW SUI Has P'th NHlAC Jus. |'f'
with the people who are attending
Circuit Court. urging his mon-parti-
san. conservative views, claiming hat
he never was ultra. and when intro
duccd by his ring master, the dclccta-
bic i.r. Tom Dunn, who is showing
him around as Colonel Dawson, the
people are led to suppose that he is
some distinguished military genius
WHO rendered valuable service in the
union cause during the rebellion. But
the people know Lafe Dawson, and
they knew him during the war, and
they know that there is not n more
bitter, hateful. spitciul, viruleni cop
Dcrhcau in Northwest Missouri, and
one who has never done ANYTHING but
traduce and abuse Republicans and
Union men. And of what is he Col
oncl? OF some whisky regiment |
suppose, for there are no White
League. Ku-kluX. or White Devils.
bv the regiment. trust III the First
Senatorial District, organized and
banded together to murder and pill
la@c IS there are i'll Louisiana.
How different from the honor
able rebel who bravely fought till
the war was over for what he he
licvcd to be right. then laid down his
arms and with equal effort devoted
himself to the restoration of fraternal
feeling among the people.
But will Mr.. Dawson dare say in
Nodaway county that he will or that
his friends ought to vote for Mckil-
lop: lie will not, for i'll that county
it is positively known that lie has
been bartcring with the friends of
Judge Johnston, and urging the cleo
tion Of Dawson and Johnston. The
plan is q very safe one for Mr.. DaW-
son, vote for him and Johnston III
Nodawav, and for him and MckillOp
in Atckison: that secures his election
and leaves the contest for the other
place between Judge Johnston and
Mckillop. between whom the Rcpub-
lican vote will be divided, and gives
Dir. Johnson, of Holt. u good chance
to win it on his straight Democratic
vote. Will the Republicans be caught
with any such transparent plot as
that? think not. THERE'S no ne
cessitv for any such arrangements and
it is dishonorablc to 90 into it, or at
tempt it. And the Republicans here
scout the whole thing The matter
has become the street talk, and the
plan is denounced as cheat and q
fraud, and the man who has attempt
ed to secure his election by such hy-
pOcritical double faced deception is
not to be trusted. He }night sell out
his constituents, and probably would
on the first opportunity, The Re-
publicans of Atchison county know
the District is Republican, by 600 ma
jority and they intend to vote for
Johnston and Mckillop, and thereby
| elect two honorable, able, high-mind-
ed lawyers and gentlemen to that
unwelcome but most important body,
who will reflect credit upon them
selves and upon their. constituency.
Rally then Rally,
REPUBLICAN,.
