The Lottery Organ is accused of lying
with malice sforethousht by the L4ayen-
worth TINES, and one Of tie lies cited is
that there il but one Republican paper in
the State opposed to Anthony, and that is
the Lesvenworth TIME The organ re-
peais the lie again on Saturday, or else
speaks without information. Its conduct
On should Peruse the Biode more carefully
and keep posted on what the newspapers
are doing.
We DOw have another one to off.r-tLe
Harvey County Nees Of the 18th Of October,
pulls down Anthony in the following srti.
Gle:
.. GEORGE 7. ANTHONY.
We have waited patiently in hopes that
George /. Anthony would explain away all
the charges preferred against him, but he
has not done sa When = man is a candi-
date for political office great deal tina,
il not true will be said about him, and for
that reason We have studied the case care
FULLY, but are forced TO believe that the State
Central Committee should at once withdraw
MIR. AnthOny's name from the ticket, and
place the name Of some man thereon, " no
will poll the whole Republican vote, and
who the entire people can trust The court
records show that Judgments are hanging
over Anthony Tor amounts ranging IRON
$500 to Sl0,550 Now, Mr.. Anthony's own
statement, shows that the firm OF which he
was member became InsOlvent and that
part OF the firm thought it beat 10 90 into
bankruptcy when the fact became apparent,
Others Of the firm, including Captain An
thOny, decided TO continue business and 10
take more coIsignments OF grain. They
sent out an agent TO solicit consignments,
hoping to make good their Losses.
They finally failed, owing a eonsid-
cradle amonnt of money George +.
Anthony admits this indebtedness, and
further admits that he has not paid the
debt. He also admits that when he came
to Kansas, there we're $4,000 in his wiie's
Fame. This money was invested in home
and other business enterprises, which Ger
tainly provided amply for his family Now
then, Mr.. Anthony has received for the past
eight years an income from his office Of
collector OF internal revenue, $4,000 per
year, or $50, 900, yet he shows no disposi-
tiOh W pay MS ucDtS. II 50 uapktfts tndt
We formerly lived in Orleans county, n.
u, where Mr.. Anthony came from, and at
tended school at the county seat. We were
always taught in that community, that
when a man is in debt, bs should, in or
der to discharge those debts, live
plainly, and not rest until every dollar of
his debt is liquidated. But, as we can
learn it has been Mr.. Anthony's practice
to get all the money that comes within his
reach, put it in his Wife's name and then
defy his creditors if any Of them chance to
have the audacity to request payment Of a
just debt. We regret to have to make the
statement to our readers, because We know
that the party whip will be cracked around
US most vigorously. Yet We believe it to he
our duty as 3 journalist to expose bad men,
especially when they AK the suffrage Of the
people for the most important office in the
State. The Republican County Convention,
which met recently at Leavenworth, refused
TO entertain resolution endorsing g. T. An
thOny. In view Of this fact, he shonld not
expect the people and piess Of the interior
Of the State to do 20.
So it seems that AnlLonys statement
falls short in the estimation Of other papers
besides the Blade Topeka Bad.
