THE CONGRESsIONAL RESULT IN
THE FIRST DISTRICT.

We sustained Col. Phillips in the late
fight in this District, because We believed
him an able and competent man, and a
worthy representative Of his party. We
had no objection to Mr.. Fenlon, who is .
reputable representative of his party,
and if bis election had been
possible, considering the political
status of the District, he would have
been at least useful member, and strong
friend of Ieavenworth in all its material
interests. We imagine neither Mr.. Fenion
or his most enthusiastic friends dreamed
that he could be successful, and all they
expected was a complimentary vote, which
he received and deserved, running ahead
of the national Democratic ticket.
The only point made against
Mr.. Phillips in this locality
seemed to be a neglect TO procure
an appropriation for public buildings in
this city. We are satisfied that at the
next session of Congress Mr.. Phillips will
use all endeavors to do justice TO our city
in this respect, and we think We can safely
promise our people that he will do 30.
Leayenwor,h demands that her material
interests shall receive the earnest at
tention of the Member from this District,
and while We have no antagou;sm to any
portion of the District, there are interests
peculiar to our city that We believe Mr..
Phillips will see to at once.

BAKERS DIRTY WORK.

The people will not fail to recollect that
D. r. Anthony sends out the press dis.
patches from Leavenworth. His state
ments as to the Senatorial preferences Of
the Leavenworth delegation, or any other
members elect of the Legislature, are pure
ly gratuItous, and generally ridiculous.
Topeka Commonwealth.
The TINES has teleSraphed the truth,
and the scoundrel who penned the forego-
ing, knew he lied when he wrote it. The
figures sent from this city regarding the
election were true. The TINES gave the
returns correctly. THE TINES gave the
Senatorial preferences of the State Senators,
and the members of the House elect from
this county, in the exact language express
ed to US BY the gentlemen themselves, and,
if TIE TINES had misrepresented one of
them, our columes are open 10 them for
correction.

THE STATE CONTEST-THE LESSON
OF THE DAY.

Honesty in political affairs and by poli;-
zeal men and parties is as imperatively de-
manded as integrity in the ordinary bust
ness and personal transactions of life. This
proposition, We opine, will be denied by no
fair and candid man of any party. In the
late State contest TIE TINES has adhered
to this principle. While We love the Re-
publican party, we're one Of those who
assisted in its baptism, and have ever stood
firmly by its principles, We have never felt
it our duty TO support the accidental candi-
dates CT the party when We knew they were
not honest men and were therefore unfit
for public trusts. Our duty as Republic
can has demanded at our hands fair deal
ing toward our political friends, and. at
the risk of being called for the time being
a mar-plot, We have squarely and fairly
told our friends the truth.
The man nominated for, and as we are to
suppose elected 10 the Governorehip, is not
fit to represent the Republican party OF this
commonwealth, either by brains or moral
worth. Our judgment has been sustained
by over fifteen thousand staunch and intel
ligent Republicans. The power Of the
party strength has carried George T. An
thony through, notwithstanding the earnest,
honest and intelligent protest of more than
fifteen Thousand members of the party. We
hope that no harm may come to The State,
but We fear it. We love our State too we'll
to desire i, but as eternal vigilance is the
price of liberty" We warn our friends to
beware. The protest of fifteen thousand
honest Republicans should not he wholly
disregarded.

DOWNRIGHT LYING.

LEAVESwORTH, November :.
The first ward, the home of ID. r. Antho-
ny, gives George 7. Anthony a majority of
forty-four. NJ. III. lssLEY.
We copy the above from the Topeka
Commonwealth. ii Capt Insley would at
tend to his own business instead of send
ing off bogus, lying dispatches like the
above-if he would associate less with
Coney, GilIett, Bond, and joyce, he might
learn to tell the truth. Aside from the
animus and meanness of the foregoing
statement, ii is a lie. The First ward, as is
shown by the official count, gives Martin
i01 majority over George L. Anthony
George runs 1874 votes behind Hayes. In
the city George is beaten G33 votes; in the
county about one thousand votes.
George T. runs behind Osborn's vote IN
this county about 5000
The above dispatch appeared in the Rot
ten Commonwealth Wednesday morning the
comments appeared in THE TINES Thurs
day morning. Everybody in the city is
aware that the statement made in the dis
patch is false; Capt. Insley knows now
that il is false, even if he did not know it
when he made it, but he has not yet had
manhood or fairness enough TO apologize
for his dirty conduct or correct his false
statement. We have been informed that
the dispatch was written in Laing's Hall
by George T., and that he and Insley were
both informed Of its un,eliability, before
they sent it, notwithstanding which fact,
Capt. Insley volunteered to do the dirty
work for his master. Such an exhibition
OF subserviency and willingness to lie is
rarely eguaIled.

THURSDAY, NOVEMBER l6, 1876.
EoF PHILLIPS

Hon. ". A. Philips is reelected to On
,,ress in this District by majority which,
we indcs FROM present indications, is larger
than tina, gieen him two years ago. This
Is an endorsement Of the course pursued by
TIE TINES which is highly gratifying to
ne. /, is an endorsement, emphatic and
unmistakable, OF our course at the Abilene
Convention, and a condemnation OF the
miserable conduct OF those who did such
outrageous lying about us at that time. 1t
IS an endorsement of the official conduct of
Mr.. Phillips, such as that gentleman has
reason to regard as very satisfactory. He
has been opposed by one of the most popu-
lar men In the Democrat: party, and has
labored under the disadvantage OF being
obliged TO run on the ticket with guber-
material candidate who had to be pulled
through" at every precinct in the District;
yet notwithstanding these facts, which
would have accounted very satisfactorily
for heavy falling of in his vote, his ma
iority is at least as large as it was two
wears ago, and seems % be somewhat larger.
Mr. Phillips Is to be congratulated upon
the hearty endorsement he has received al
the hands OF his constituents-an endorse
rent not only Of himself but of his course
upon the currency question. We should
not lose sight Of the fact that he came be-
fore the people Of The District fquarely as
a currency reformer, and as such has been
emphaticaily endorsed by his constituents

yOX POPCLI.

We believe no honest, fair-minded man,
whether Republican or Democrat, can
doubt the fact that a free and fair express
sion OF the preferences of the people of the
South would result in decisive Republican
majorities in Louisiana, North and South
Carolina, Florida, Mississippi, and probs-
bly, one CT two other States In some of
these States Democratic majorities were no
doubt given at the late election, but does
any sane man suppose for moment that
such msjorities honestly represent the
political sentiments of the people Of those
States. Acts of open violence, persistent
persecution, and threats Of hardships of
various kinds, have combined to force thou
sands Of black men to vote the Democratic
ticket, Who, at the same time, secretly
prayed for the success of the Republican
cause, while other thousands, from similar
causes, refrained from voting at all. Aside
from all party exaggera,ion, from all par
tisan feeling, in cool, sober truth, and COM
mon sense, everybody knows this Is true,
and fair return from these S.atss, which
should comply with the spirit as we'll as
the letter Of the Constitution, would give
the votes Of every one OF them to Gov.
Hayes.
The entire spirit of Republican govern
ment is comprised in the principle that
''the will of the majority shall govern" but
when a man, through physics or moral
force e1er,ed upon him, is made to vote
the will of another, and not his own will,
such an expression cannot be counted with
out doing violence to the genius of free
government, for it is not an expression Of
the voters ra, but record Of his subjec-
ton to the will of another.

DEtTH.OF Uncle GEORGE

Our people will be surprised this morning
at hearing of the death OF George ii. Kel-
Ter. "Uncle George" as he has been famili-
arly called for the past twenty years by his
friends, was known and respected by all.
Mr.. Keller was born at HarroGsburg,
Ky, February 81, 1906. He came TO
Leayenworth in 1854. He was one Of the
founders Of our city. He built the Grst
hotel in town known as the 'Leavenworth
Hotel" situated on the northwest
corner OF Main and Delaware streets.
He was for one or two years member OF
our city council, and also member of the
first Free State Legislature. From ca ly
manhood he was a member Of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, and died in the
faith. lie was highly esteemed and re-
spec;ed by those who knew him.
Tins one by one the old pioneers pass
away. We shall never forget his call at our
house at the time he talked Of leaving Kan
sas 10 make his home in Oregon. Uncle
George said he felt as though he couldn't
leave without shaking hands with cd. r."
and bidding him good bye" Well hun
dreds OF our citizens will join with US now
in saying good bye, Uncle George"
We all know that he will find
. happy home in that unseen
and, and many kind word will be spoken
IN memory of him, by those who are left be-
hind. Mrs. Keller, one daughter, Mrs
Kyle, and three sons, mourn the loss OF a
kind husband and father

WHOLESALE LYING.

Shawnee county, the home Of John Mar.
tin, gave Anthony 900 majority. Leaven.
worth county probably gave John Martin
small majarity. In the west and south
Anthony generally ran about up with his
ticket.-Ho,ton Erpress.
II there is one crime more deserving of
denunciation than another, it is the habit
of certain papers in wilfully misrepresent-
ing facts, and particularly election returns.
Take the above as an illustration.
Shawnee county gave Hayes over 1,5o0
majority and George T. Anthony about
500, George 7. running over 1000 behind
his ticket. Leavenworth county elects the
whole Republican ticket by msjorities
averaging 251. George T. is beaten
1,ll6 votes in the county, thus run
ming behind his party vote 1873
There is not district in Kansas where
George T. runs even with his ticket a. far
as heard from. He will run nearly $4,000
behind in the State. What is the object of
such wholesale lying?

A FEW FACTS.

George I. Anthony was beaten in his OWL
ward by a majority OF one hundred and
seventy-four out OF total vote of less thar
six hundred, and at the same time the Re.
publican nominee for Representative was
elected over one OF the most popular Dem.
ocrat' in the ward by majority OF eighty
nine.
He ran behind in his own county thirteen
hundred and seventy-three votes, and while
every candidate on the Republican county
ticket was elected. with one exception,
George I. was beaten by a majority of one
thousand one hundred and sixteen.
He runs behind his ticket in John Mar
tins county nine hundred and seventy nine
votes, outstanding all the inscriptions
lying, and all the dirty work done for him
by Bakers Rotten Commonwealth.
He runs behind his ticket three hundred
votes in Pottawatomie county, where he
owns farm, in his sons name, and where
his son resides.
He runs behind his ticket in erery county
in the State, as far as heard from.
He runs behind his ticket in the State
not less than Is. 100.
The Leavenworth weekly times. [volume] (Leavenworth, Kan.) 1870-1880, 1876-11-16

so cleditably that he secured the nomina-
tion for President at st. Louis despite the
efforts of Belmont, Eaton. Schell, and the
best men of his party. Having found out
that liberal advertising was a good thing,
Samuel opened shop for himself on Lib
erty street, New York, calling it a Literary
Bureau. From thence his faithful agent
furnished to his party organs and needy
journals, editorial matter prsi-ing him for
virtues which he does not possess,
which the aforesaid organs and jour
mails gave prominence to in their
editorial columns at 20 much per line.
Whether he has been elected or not, his es-
tabIishment of an advertising bureau vas
a good investment, and We allude to it now
to show to the business community that ad-
vertlsing is . good thing, even in dull
times. Tilden's advertising bill since
April last runs somewhere up in the mil
lions, and if he had put in . few dollars
more, in come Of the close States, he might
have been saved this painful suspense.
There is no doubt about it, advertising
pays. If the reader would have success 10
business or in politics. let him advertise,
and the more liberal be il about it the
greater will be his gains.

Nearly all the Republican daily papers in
the State, except The TINES, carefully sup
pressed all the facts in the matter OF George T.
Anthony's dishonesty, and labored unceas-
ingly during the campaign, assisted BY the
Kansas City Jonrnal, to whitewash his rep
utation and deceive the people in regard TO
his true character, and scrupled at nothing
in their efforts to malign and throw 9Th
upon those who were endeavorins to put
the people in possession of the facts. Not
withstanding their policy of carefully ex-
GLIDING the truth from their columns. and
Safeguarding all those who dared to utter
it, George 7. ran behind his ticket largely
in every one of the towns where these pa
pers are published, thus showing clearly
that if they had spoken what they knew to
be the truth, had done their duty, and had
assisted The TIxEs in exposing the infamy
OF this man, the State might have been
spared the difgrace of having q man with
such a record in her Gubernatorial chair.

THE RESULT IN THE STATE-THE
VOICE OF THE times

Against improper candidates THE TINES
has always protested. Paityism should
always be subservient to the duties Of a
citizen, and while conducting a political
journal We have never hesitsted to oppose
the nomination of men shown to be unfit to
represent the people or the party. We
have done 50 in this election. We have
said that the party made a grave mistake
in the nomination of Geo. T. Anthony. As
far as heard from, We have been sustained
by the deliberate and intelligent votes OF
over fifteen thousand electors of the State.
This is sufficient endorsement Of our course
no other paper in the State has ever had
such a popular endorsement. We have to
be satisfied with the verdict, but must cay
in view of the probable result, "God save
the commonwealth 7,

NOTHING TO SAY.

The Wyandotte Gas.tte of Friday morning
knows all about who has been elected Pres
ident-it has all the particulars from the
doubtful States of Louisiana, Florida and
South Carolina, and clears up with a very
few words, the knot;y questions of the gen.
eral result which all the great journals,
Statesmen and politicians ara still trying in
vain to solve, but it can't tell US a word
about how much George 7. ran behind his
ticket in Wyandotte county it hasn't heard
that he ran behind his ticket 1873 votes in
his own county. but it does express an opin-
ion that he will :un fen rotes behind
Hayes in the State, when even the Rotten
Commonwealth admits that he lie fifteen thou

The Rotten Commonwealth, now admits
that George 7. has run behind his ticket in
the State fifteen t6ousund! Yet this same
Rot. Com. assured the public, repeatedly,
before the election, that The TIxn was
the only Republican paper in the State op
posing him. Thus it will be seen that &C.
cording to the Rot CONS own statement
and figures THE TINES has more influence
in Kansas than any dozen other papers in
the State, and the official returns will show
to the people of the State that this is 20.
