IN. B.n-We have been asked who 'N. b, who
writes from Troy to the Hiawatha Herald, on the
Judicial Convention, probably is. We don't
know, and 1t makes but little difference who it
is Ii Is very easy to sign initials to letter, or
to date 1t. This one may have been written in
Troy, or Atehison, or Hiauaiha. Bnt they may
load the mails down with correspondence, it will
not alter the facts they exist. Hubbard will
naturally get some votes in Doniphan County
some are in favor Of him, and some think they
must stick to the party, no matter whether it is
right or wrong There are, in addition, few i'll
grained sore-heads, who always 60 contrary to
the majority, aud are never happy unless they
can get up strife-these will go for Hubbard,
for contrairiness. Some are two-faced, and will
write in favor of Hubbard while they talk against
him. Iowa Township polls about 500 votes.
The Township is almost unanimous against Hub
bard Wolf River, with over 400 votes, will per
haps give him the largest vote of any Township
in the County, but the majority against him
there will be from 100 to 200 Centre, with 500
votes, is nearly solid against him. Wayne, with
over 400, is the same. Burr-Oak, with 300 is
abont the same. Washington, with over 400, is
blessed with the Reporter and its sore head fac
tion. But they have lost their grip, and the
men who gave them any strength have cut loose
from squad that acts from other principle
than spite or contrariness Washington will give
heavy majority against Hubbard. Marion has
about $50 votes. The Republicans of that Town
ship generally stick to nominations more closely
than any other Township, but they sometimes
take streak to do as they please. The present
is one of these occasions, and We believe that
Marion will give a decided majority against
Hubbard. From this memoranda, an idea can be
formed of what Doniphan County will do, not
withstanding the assertions of anonymous cor
respondents.

WHY W VOTED FOR ST. JoHN-There never
gates went undecided for whom to VOTE as the
recent one. We desired to support the best man
who appeared to be available. Upon reaching
Topeka, and circulating among the delegates, we
soon found that Judge Bassett had no strength
that Judge Halderman had many admirers, but
it was the almost universal expression that he
should serve longer probation in the Republi-
can party before being placed at its head; and
that Maj. Adams was objected to on account of
his Greeleyism four years ago. which would pre-
vent final concentration upon him. st. John,
Cobb and Guthrie were unobectionable, and Ell
ther of them would have suited us. But Col. st.
John, while possessing ability at least eqnal to
any other candidate, and being fully as accepta-
BILE to the temperance and religious elements of
the party, was not as obnoxious to the other
classes as Anthony, and would have been more
satisfactory candidate. But, above all else, the
Republicans of the Second Congressional District
came mp almost solidly in his favor, saying that
with him for a candidate, they could nndOubted-
ly redeem the District, and elect Haskell
Goodin by large majority. They hoped to do
this at all events bat with st. John the ticket,
they felt confident of it. We thought they were
entitled to this aid from the Convention. There
were no fears for the other two Districts, and
they could afford to yield this advantage to the
Second District. We therefor voted for Col. st.
John until he was out of the race

- The Kansas Chisf supports David Martin for Judge
Of the Second Judicial District against Junge Hubbard
the regular nominee Of the Republican party-JaHeiOR
City Union.
If allowing two bogus delegates to vote by a
revengeful and mud headed presiding officer, and
the unseating of the regular delegates by the
majority SO obtained, constitutes a regular Re
publican Convention, then We are opposing it.
But We are not particular what it is called-just
as soon have it called regular Republican Con-
vention as anything eIse-we are opposing its
nominee, and propose to do our part in scooping
him.

~ The Wathens Reporter hOists the name of
Hubbard for Judge. The reason it gives is, that
Mr. Otis, although nominated as an independent,
and good man in every respect, is Democrat,
and it cannot support him on the latter account.
1t is pity the Reporter did not think of that last
Fall, when it supported half dozen Democrats
in opposition to Republicans, who were qualified
and fairly nominated. The Judicial salary snf-
fers another division.

If he is the only honest Republican in the
State, and the party nominated him without op-
position, il proves that the Republicans alway,
take honest men when they can find them. The
honest men in the Democratic party are usually
the ones who are not nominated by scclanation
or in any other way.

~ Reports from all parts of the County in

~ Reports from all parts of the County indi-
cate that Mr.. Otis will receive large majority
in the County. Hubbard originally had n few
supporters in this County, who will stick to him,
together with the Republicans who stick to what
is called the ticket, no matter who composes it /;
and the little squad of soreheads who always
have the nightmare about a Ring" and who al
ways act so as to be contrary. The noisiest men
against Otis are two or three impractible Demo-
Gratis, who are on their ear because he was not
nominated as a Democratic candidate. But as
they cannot control any other Democrats, nor have
any influence with Republicans, their fuss will
amount to nothing. We doubt whether Hubbard
eau get 500 votes in the County.

RIGHT.-The Topeka Commonwealth is right in
objectng to Federal of1ice-holders being placed
on the State Central Committee. Both the
Chairman and Secretary of the Committee are
Federal Office holders and both are residents OF
the Districts from which they were appointed
solely by reason of holding their offices. There
is growing repugnance among the people to
the idea of the party being controlled by office
holders, thus being enabled to use the party ma
chinery to perpetuate their lease of office. Be-
sides, the masses of the party are getting into
the proper humor to rebel against the system of
allowing few men to monopolize all the posi-
tions of honor and profit. Some men have labor
ed for the party for years, without reward or
thanks, while others, who will not turn a hand
unless they see personal profit in it, are the ia
vored ones for the fat Offices, and for the posi-
tions of honor. The people are beginning to feel
wonderfully independent, and one of these times
the Republican party will receive such sudden
backset as will make their teeth rattle.

Hon. E. J. JENKINs.-One of the whitest men
at the State Convention was JEFF. Jenkins, of
Concordia, formerly of this County. He is gen.
erous and whole-souled, and stood by his old Dom
iphan County friends to the last. He exerted a
large influence in the Convention. Mr.. Jenkins
came to Doniphan County when it was Demo-
cratic, and assisted in placing it in position
among the foremost Republican Counties in the
State. He has always been true blue, and ready
to lend a hand when it was needed Mr.. jenkins
is a man of far more than ordinary talent, and is
good speaker. We trust the day is not far dis
tant when he will be called to a position of high
er honor and responsibility than Land Office.
