WHAT THEY TEIHK.

An associated press dispatch was sen
from this city Saturday night, exposing the
trickery and fraud OF Legate and his cor
rupt crew. 1t appeared in all of the Sun
day morning papers with headlines thai
were anything but complimentary to the
polypus. The St. Joe Herald, Kan,
sas City Journal, Kansas City Iunss
ST. Louis Times, St. Louis Globe Dem
ocrut, and the Lawrence, Topeka and Atch'
ison papers condemn Legate in very strong
terms. The Denver Ners publishes the dis
patch, and says, editorially:
Col. Anthony is a man OF sorrows and
acquainted with grief. Scarcely has he re
covered from the wound which played
such havoc with the sub-clavian artery
than he l. threatened with the loss of hi:
postofice and moral character As tine
Colonel has showed himself so hard TO kill

IEGATE'S CEIME.

Very few Of our citizens had any knowl-
edge OF the jim. Legate afiidavits until ex-
posed in Sunday mornings TINES. We
are glad TO announce that no respectable
man in Leavenworth sanctions the iniam-
Gus proceedings OF this most noted corrup-
zionist. Every afiant who has thus far
spoken, says emphatically that he swore to
nothing derogatory TO Col. Anthony. The
proof could not be stronger or more damn
ing. Attorneys are examining he law to
find the exact character OF the crime com
mitted by Legate and his tools. 1t is no,
vet decided whether it is subornat;on oil
perjury or not Il is acknowledged by all,
however, to be equal in mors' turpitude to
anv crime named in the statute book.

audacious and INSCRIPTIONS beyond de-
scsipsion, betraying snake-like venom sci
dom exhibited in human being.

LFGATE's RECORD

Jeems +. Legaie aspires 10 lead the lie
publican party of this city. What is his
record?
During the administration of Andrew
johnson he was one OF the Presidents most
jealous and earnest defenders, and was
mos, bitter in his denunciations Of Gen.
Grant, Stanton and Cong ess.
In 1872 he was nominated for Governor
of Washington Territory, and the United
States Senate, with an overwhelming Re
publican majority, refused to confirm him
In 1873 he was a candidate at the Re.
publican primary meeting for Representa-.
tive from the Third Ward. He was NOT
nominated, but bol;ed the Republican tick
ct, and accepted Democratic nomination
He was defeated.
Two months ago he was nominated fol
| Representative from the Third Ward. HI
had no opponent until the Sunday before
election Tuesday.
The good Republicans OF the district ther
prevailed upon Mr. Fem to run as an in
dependent candidate. He did so, and wa
elected-Jeems +. Legate running $50 cote
bciind his ticket, literally squetched, in udrs
uhere he has resided for years, and uhich ha
ne,er been Eaoun 10 elect Democrat!

UNPARALLELED AUDAcIrY.

At the time of the difficulty between An.
drew johnson, President, on the one side
and Grant, Stanton and Republican Con-
gress on the other, James II. Lane came to
Deavenworth and held meeting in
Laing's Hall for the purpose of endorsing
Johnsons pol icy.
At that meeting Jim Legate spoke, en-
dorsing Andrew Johnson's policy, and bit
terlv denouncing Grant, Stanton and Con-
gress.
Judge Griswold and d. r. Anthony made
speeches at that meeting upholding Grant,
>tanton and Congress.
Anthony, for his loyalty to the Republic
can party, for LOYALTY to Grant, Stanton and
Congress, and for opposition to an acciden-
tai President who repudiated Republican
principle, was removed from the Office of
Postmaster.
James L. Mcdowell was supported BY
Lane, Tom. Ewing, Tom Carney and Jim.
Legate, and appointed postmaster. Nc
lowell joined the Democracy and was their
candidate for Governor.
JIM Legase, when he talks of fidelity to
party, had better remember his own treacb-
cry to principle, and his fawning upon
those who held power. Then, as well as
now, Jim. Legate had the reputation of be-
ing the most corrupt man in all Kansas.
lie has now gone to Washington, with
forged afhdaviis, and hopes to obtain the
favor oil those whom he malisned only
seven years ago. The audacity and in
prudence of this shameless procuree of f,l.e
afhdavits, is unparalleled.

SENATORS INJHLLS AND ANTHONY

1t is not likely that successor to Mr.
Ferry will be chosen this session. How
eyer, a correspondent OF the Chicago h.ter-
Ocean has been writing on the subject. and
mentions Senators Ingalls, and Anthony
AZ probable candidates for the Presidency
of the Senate. lie SAWS:
Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, who
was Mr.. Ferryis contestant last spring, and
Senator Ingalls,, OF Kansas, who, though
one of the Youngest members, has distin-
guished himself as a presiding officer on
several exciting occasions, are mentioned.
Senator Ingalls,, in contest with men like
Anthony and Ferry, has his comparative
youth and inexperience against him, al
though he has already made a reputation
as one Of the best parliamenlsrians in the
body.r

That is What our Correspondent
Says About the Herd
Law.
He Gives the Why's and Where.
fores for his Objections.

DELAWARE TOWNSHIP, Dec. II, 1879.
There are but two circumstances under
which Herd Law can be OF any possible
advantage. One Of these may be found in
a new country where little or no fencing
has been done, and where agriculture is
the chief pursuit; and the farmers can
raise their crops without the expense Of
fencing, where there is no vacant land for
