REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
THE MYSTERY EXPLAINED.

Our special telegram from Topeka, CIV
ing synopsis Of the staten ents m ade by
George T. Anthony, and his brother, Benia-
min NJ. Anthony, to the Republican State
Central Committee, vii be read with pro-
found interest by the people of Kansas.
The people Of this city who remember the
same charges made against George T. in
January, 1872, while he was chairman OF
the famous committee of twenty-five, APP
pointed by the Citizens Association, will
read the confession made now by George T.
and BENJAMIN with amazement. They will
not forget that these same charges were then
pronounced by George T., under oath, as
absolutely false 1t will not be forgotten,
either. that after George T. read that Aft
davit TO the citizens meeting, he
positively declined to give it for
publication, and the document was placed
in the hands of Fred. Lockley, and by him
returned to George T. As to the state
ment that Ben. never applied to George for
help, to get him out of trouble,

rect from George 7. We also read letter
If several pages, written by George 7. to
his brother William, who lived in
California at the time. Ii was
unfinished and unsigned, but was in the
Handwriting Of George T. This letter said
that Benjamin was asking him George
for money to help him out of trouble, about
some trouble in which Ben. claimed that
George was equally guilty and liable with
Ben, Ben claiming that George had money.
George wrote in this letter to William. that
the statement of Ben. that he George had
money, was not true; that he (George) had
no money, nor Rose his wife)
either; that he was entirely dependent
upon his cousin Dan. for his daily subsist-
ence. This letter seemed to have been
written by George TO his brother William
in reply to letter from William, who had
joined BENJAMIN in his appeals to George
for aid.
We remember distinctly these facts In
regard to the contents OF that letter, written
about 1866, and we remember them the
more distinctly from the fact of his
iGeorges) denial thai be or Rose had any
money or bonds, when at the same time We
had on deposit, in our safe, SlI 600 in FIVE
twenties and territories Of L. s. bonds be-
longing to him.
The mystery which has enveloped this
whole matter is now, however, explained.
These statements make everything plain to
US, and prove our memory correct in every
important particular.
There are few questions We would like
TO have George T. answer, which we think |
will give some further light regarding his
business character.
Did not George I. fail in the hardware
trade at Balston Spa, \. Y?
Did he not fail in the agricultural manu-
featuring business at Union Springs, n. Y?
Did he not fail in the hardware trade and
manufacturing business at Medina, n. Y?
Did he not fail in the commission bust
ness in the city of New York?
Was he not a defaulter to the school
fund of the State of New York?
Did he not bring to Kansas $4,000 or
$1,000?
Was not this money derived in whole or
In part from his own per onal possessions
