tically supported BY the honest men of the

are men for whom We all can conscien.
tiously vote.
Mr.. Taylor, the nominee in the 25th dis
trict is man Of the people. true to his con-
victions, and always on the side of truth
and justice. His opponent, Mr.. Duncan, is
also an exceptionally good man, and if
such thing as a Democratic success be
possible, would faithfully represent his con-
stituents in the lower house.
Mr.. Jewett for Commissioner in the
same district will be elected, and will

OUR COUNTY TICKET.

The great mass Of the people Of this
country are to-day good, loyal, true, Re
publicans. They are ever ready to rally
around the old banner, which has 80 often
led them to victory, and show by their bal
lots that they have not forgotten the grand
party of freedom. In this county the Re
publicans have = majority of over one hum
dred, which they can rely upon whenever
an average ticket is nominated. Good Re
Publicans can always be elected, but We are
happy to say that the time has come when
bad, corrupt, selfish men viii be repudi-
ated BY intelligent, honest voten. The
Republicans must not attempt 10 carry the
load of an Questionable candidate, or the
whole ticket will be defeated. By working
for good men, and throwing the corrupt
ones overheard We can elect the most of our
county ticket. Will it be done?

LET Us CHOOSE.

We have the authority Of Dr. Crook, of
the Leavenworth Herald, that our Postmas-
ter received letter from Congressman Phil
lips, in which Mr.. Phillips is reported to
have said that our fight here was local
one and that the Postmaster was right in
supporting or not supporting anybody
whom he chose; that he was Postmaster
now and would continue to be. We have
the authority of John n. Crowell for say
ing that Senator John J. Ingalls, said that
the Postmaster was right in not supporting
the Republican ticket, because the Post
master alleges that Sheriff Bond drank to
his death the night he was wounded, and
since he returned from the east, Sheriff
Bond has declared war against him.-Com-
mercidi.
For the past week the Commercial has
been filled with untruthful assaults upon
us, to which, thus far, we have not made
one word of reply.
The following card from DR.. J. ]. Crook
fatty contradicts the Commercials statement
made in the above extract so far as he is
concerned, and proves that Legate
published that which he knew to be
UNTRUE. Read the testimony in sup
port of our denial Of Legate's wilful falsif-
cation:
LEAvESwoRTH, Oct 18Th, 1e75.
l stated to James F. L&gate, editor of
the Leavenworth Commercial, while in his
Office, October 18th, between six and seven
O'Clock, that l had heard letter read
which Purported 10 be written by Col. VIM
A. Phillips to ID. K Anthony, which letter
complimented Col. Anthony upon his re-
turn home in good health. also stated |
that the letter was friendly In its tone, but |
that it did not refer to the present county
campaign, SO far as heard it read. The |
Commercial, therefore, hal no authority |
from me for its statements. J. J. CROOK.
We have Maj. John NJ. Crowelrs state
ment that Senator Ingalls, never told him
any such thing, and that the man who re-
ports him Maj. CrowelD as SO saying, says
that which is not true.
Mr.. Ingalls, personally assured Us of his
great interest in the success of the Republi-
can ticket in this county and throughout
the land. Senator Ingalls, has acted the
part OF high-toned, cultivated gent eman.
He does not seek to dictate to or muzzle the
press. He has never even asked favor of
US. We have never written or published a
word at his request. We suppose he has q
higher appreciation of the duties of U. S.
senator than to enlist himself in the inter-
ests OF individuals, either for or against.
We regret that We are compelled to no.
Iice these assaults, and would not have

1t is true We have not raised Bonds

rom our knowledge of the facts hat in 80
'cting we are promoting the interests of
morality, humanity and
ommon decency. We have refrained from

Speeches OF Hon. John J. Ingalls, and Col

so long as Mr.. Barns, being merely an ad
dress OF welcome, couched in beautiful lam
guage, and embodying the ideas of a ST ates-
man. The address OF Col Burnes' should
he read by every citizen of the Missouri
Valley. for it contains words of truth for
all our people. Aichison was fortunate in
