sHYSTERING.

Ga Saturday night We sent the AssOcis-
ted Press this statement: ''Seyen out OF the
eight delegates TO the State Convention
from this city are Tor Halderman for Gov
ern0r"
On receipt Of this dispatch in the State
papers Sunday morning, q. L. Anthony
drew up a card which three of the eight
delegates were weak enough to sign, and ii
was sent a a special 10 the State papers:
LEAvENwoRTH, August ., 1876.
The Associated Press dispatch of the 9TH
inst in your Issue Of yesterday, stating that
seven of the eight delegates 70 the State
Convention, from this city, were pledged 10
John 4. Halderman Tor Governor, was
based upon a misapprehension Of facts. Ii
Is due 10 ourselves TO say that We are neith-
er pledged nor instructed. Also, that a
personal visit to each Of the delegates refer
red 10 reveals tine fact that not one OF the
whole number is pledged to the support OF
any one.
VI. IL. INsLEY, Del. 18th Dist
\. \. ANGEL, Del 18th Dist.

1t will he seen that the Associated Press
dispatch did not say the delegates were
pledged Therefore the assumption in
the card that such statement was made
Is false. When these three gentlemen say
that t..ey were not pledged" they state that
which is based upon a misapprehension OF
facts" Mr. Carr was pledged TO both Hal
derman and Anthony. lie, however, claims
a release from that pledge, because HaIder-
man ran another ticket, in the Second
Carr and Anthony's) Ward, pledged"
against Anthony, heating one OF Anthony's
delegate. This result shows q. I. As
weakness, where he Is known.
In the Fourth Ward, there was but one
ticket run-both delegate, lnsley and
Angel, assuring the friends Of the two can
dIdates for Governor that they would vote
Tor either. Or in other and palmer words,
1t was understood that a large msjority of
the ward was opposed 10 both Halderman
and Anthony, and that Insley and Angel
entertained this opinion, agreeing, however,
to vote for either IIalderman or Anthony
as compliment. These delegates were
agreed upon and accepted by lialderman
and Anthony and our Democratic represen-
tatiyc OF the railroad interest, (which has
dose 50 much for l.eayenworth) and Insley
and Angel were unanimously elected with
this understanding.
In the Third Ward, JIaIde7man's home,
each candidate ran a ticket, and Halder
mans ticket was elected over Anthony's.
In the First ward, Halderman ran a tick
ct which was fought most desperately by G.
+. Anthony, Levi Wilson Democratic
of q. I. As political interests,)
loney Darling, Markson, Bond and Dick |
Moore. This combination of Democracy"
smiling hypocrites," bankrupt courts, con
oeited brutality, and whipper Of inmates Of
If the Jail, We're routed. Their candidates for |
the Stale convention were Coney, (the man
Who nominated Embry as secretary of a
Hays and Wheeler ratification meeting,) |
md NanTuyl, Democrat, who can neither
read nor write.
The result in the ward showed forty votes
Tor Coney and Vantuyi, O. T. Anthony's
and l5S votes for Swan and
Newton, iIalierman candidates This state
nent shows eonclusively that Carr, 1nsley
and Angel, are the willing tools of q. I.
10 the extent of signing a false
ard.
lnsley is partner in 4 wholesale liquor
rouse; q. L. Anthony is United States Rev
nue collector, and has been for the past
light years; during that time, the leading
'holesale liquor and tobacco houses have
rown rich; Il. L. Anthony is rich.
Our city delegation stands to-day, as fol-
oWs; tive delegates understood to be square
or Halderman Carr has repudiated his
pledges, and will go squarly for q. I. An
honT; insiey and Angel are squarely for
Anthony, Halderman, or any other man.
The county stands as at first reported
The Fourteenth District for Halderman, and
'ever for q. I. Anthony. The Sixteenth
District for Cobb, and never for Anthony.
The Fifteenth District elects on Saturday,
next. II q. I. Anthony, or his signers,
an obtain any consolation out of this
statement, they are welcome to it. We ad-
wise them hereafter to hold opinions Of their
own; stand by their convictions, and tell
