Good ElectiOneering.

Judge Hubbard went to the Baptist church,
in Atchison, Sunday, the 10th, in the FORE
noon, and sat through the service, in the Odor
of sanctity. In the afternoon, he went ont to a
beer-garden, and treated the boys to much beer.
At Seneca, his little girl went with him, and
when the Judge had shaken hauds with a per-
son, and told him Atchison, Brown and Doni-
phan Counties were for him solid, the little girl
caught the victim by the hand, and exclaimed ::
"Now, you will help papa, won't you'"
At Huron, he told the people the law yers were
against him because he dispatched business too
rapidly to snit them when it is notorious that
he consumes more time in trying causes than
any Judge who ever presided in the District. At
Wetmore, he tried to array the Grangers for him.
because he had decided the suits brought to en-
join the Changers from using the school houses
in their favor. To the same man from whom
we get this information, he claimed that, as the
lawyers were pretty nearly all against him, he
ought to have the Granger vote. He claimed
the reason the lawyers were against him was
that about thirty suits had been brought by
lawyers to cheat farmers out of their land, and
he had decided against the lawyers!
To men upon whom he cannot play this sort
of stuff, he tells that the lawyers are pretty
nearly all for him, except three four shysters,
who have no business, when he knows that he
is opposed, openly, by the follow ing attorneys,
whom he would hardly dare call sllysters by
name: Judge Graham, John C. Tomlinson, John
NJ. Price, B. +. Stringfellow, A. F. Martin, David
Martin, B. +. Hudson, C. w. johnson, A. S. Ev-
crest, C. 7. Griffin, C. +. Cochran, J. C. Green
walt, Thos. Metcaif. r. McGee, J. F. Tufts,
T. NJ. Pierce, and S. H. Glenn. He knows that
gentlemen like W. w. Guthrie, A. H. Horton,
and A G. Otis, have said too much of his imbe-
cility, in times past, to make their silence in u
political campaign sign to the world that they
are in bis favor. His admirers in Atcb;son are
understood to be Mr.. F. d. Mills Hon. b. P.
Waggeuer, and the two brothers-in-law Of the
Court, W. r. Smith and H. C. Solomon.
In Doniphan, he is actively opposed by Nathan
Price, A Perry, ID. NJ. Johnston, n. b. Wood, w.
d. Webb, b. O'Driscoll, Frank Drenning, apd B.
A. Seaver
In Brown County, he is opposed by F. NJ
Keith, Ira J. Lacock, b. F. Killey, A. R. May, A.
G. Speer, W. j. Richardson, and James Falcon.
In Nemaha County, he is opposed by Abijah
Wells, r. c. Bassett, and Joseph Sharp.
a Ic" DchVcfdts, WHO dIc cNci hoPciui VI
slipping in a man, are understood to hope that
Hubbard may be re-nominated, that they may
elect Otis or Metcalf: j. Z. Taylor and j. P.
Taylor, Of Seneca; E. Berer, Of Hiawatha; aud
possibly the true explanation Of B. p Waggen-
er's position is TO he found in this belief A
number of these lawyers, since the campaign
opened. his Honor snubs upon the streets,
though it is understood that their feelings are
not badly hurt.
The Judge, a queer kind of electioneering, |
told q gentleman who keeps store at Centralia,
that if he was beaten, he was ruined, for be
did not see how be could support his family, out
Of Office. As the Judge has not tried his wings |
1T unaided selfsupport, out of Office, since 1867,
We think it would be good plan to start him |
down among the foregoing gentlemen, whom he,
in sweeping terms, denominates shysters, that |
be may see how he fares
