Is Some of the delegates in the Convention
got up and left because Larzelere, in bis speech
neglected to tell that he had once been Speaker
in the Legislature. Not having seen the Wathe-
na Reporter, they did not know that it had per-
formed this duty last week.

y Uncle Ben. Harding locked the worst out
of place in that Convention, Monday, of any man
we have ever seen. Twenty years ago, the same
crowd indicted him for treason, for voting Free
State ticket; and they would have mObbed him,
had they caught him among them. Now he
shakes with them over the bloody ehasm-and
all because of a stinkin' local fuss in Wath ena.
We were going to say that Larzslere was also ont
of place; but be is never out OF place where they
make him chairman, and nominate him for Office.

look well for the election of Arch. Campbell as

constituents. We hope to record his triumphant

~ The last Reporter had very excruciating
witticism about Forncrook erookng his form. If
the writer of that pun had been in Troy on Mon
day night, he might have seen somebody else
erooking his form. 1t was the same individual
who was so anxiors- rs-t7--zzse-SsS0Hgh with the
business of the Convention, so that he could get
home; but his form became so crooked after the
adjournment, that he didn't get home that night.

Truly, Larzelere has high opinion of tn
proper use for paper that supports him!

70 After reading Carlos Noggs'" letter, in
this weeks Chief we are forced to express the
opinion that the Sheriff of Douglas County is
certainly too trusting in his nature to be fit for
the place, and that Montgomery ought to have
escaped. desperate character, who once made
bold and almost successful attempt to escape,
is led from the Jail to the Court House, and back
again, through unfrequented streets, by the
Sheriff alone, and all the while has heavy iron
bar concealed about his person, unobserved by
the Sheriff. He attempts to kill the Sheriff with
it, but the latter gets the advantage of him,
when he promises to behave himself. The Sher-
iff lets him up, and proceeds as before, when
Montgomery makes still more desperate at
tempt upon him. 1t is pity the fellow did not
get away. The Sheriff would make an excellent
nurse in the Blind Asylum.

II Vote for A. S. Campbell, for Representative
of the First District

EY@ Those virtuous fellows at Wathena, who
cannot stomach the Republican ticket because
they think some unrighteous fellow will vote it,
are hard to please Last year, they beat Joseph
Randolph, the Republican nominee, and as good
a man as there is in the County, and elected
John L. Motter to the Legislature. But because
Motter had the Independence to think for him
SELF and to form his own likes and dislikes, they
sonred on him, and will not even countenance
ticket nominated by Convention of which he was
member. Now they expect Randolph to go in
and help them to pull the thing through-in fact,
some of their sympathizers intimate that he is
with them. But we do not believe any such
thing. He ought to stick to them, in return for
the favors they have shown him.

~ The Wathena Reporter puts terrible
damper upon Leland's prospects for Commits
sioner-or it would be a damper, if the Reporter
had any readers in this ID istrct. 1t says he
wants to be Commissioner, so that he can throw
all the County patronage into his own store.
You see, the merchants of Troy all so plea
yunish, lin the estimation of the Reporter,) that
the hint of n few dollars patronage will turn
them all against Leland. But the melancholy
fact stares us in the face that nearly every mer-
chant in Troy, regardless of politics, intends
voting for him for Commissioner.

porter, in denouncins men for working together in
the Republican Convention, who have on former
occasions opposed each other. Yes, it does som O.
times make strange bedfellows We notice that the
Reporter thinks Capt. Larzelere was specially de-
signed by God Almighty for the Office of County
Commissioner, and that the County will 60 to
the dogs unless he is elected. For the past tw o
years, the Reporter has been liberal in bestowing
pet names upon this same Capt. Larzelere; and
upon two occasions within the past few months,
Larzelere has been compelled, by the abuse of
the Reporter, to reply through the columns of the
Chief The Reporter, having puffed Larzelere SO
highly, it is but proper that we should reproduce
Larzeleres opinions of the editor of the Reporter,
showing him to be good judge of live stock.
On the 23d of July, 1874, Larzelere published
this opinion:
