nominee for Governor of the state OF Dan5as
said call being made at the request of said Geo.
T. Anthony, the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
/. That ii is the sense of the Republican State
Central Committee after hearing a full aud com
plete explanation by George I. Anthony, OF the
charges and specifications made against him and
published by newspapers in various places
throughout the stale, that such explanation Is
J entirely satisfactory, and in our opinion is a
complete vndcaton of his character from all
charges made against him.
2 That the Chairman of the Committee be in
structed to publish these resolutions, and also
George L Anthony's sworn statement,togeiher
with all the accompanying documentary evil
dence, at early day as possible
Following this vindication Captain
Anthony addressed one of the largest
and most enthusiastic meetings ever
held at the capital. II was estimated
that fifteen hundred people went away
unable TO get seats. The old soldier
stood up before that vast audience
and with his honest face carried it by
storm, convincing all that he was not
only brave but honest man.
From the Commonwealth we extract
the following from an editorial ac-
companying the epifonized statement
which we cordially endorse:
sit meets every charge, it is full, ex-
plicit and clear as day. II shows that
its writer as a business man was at
one time unfortunate, his misfortuncs
originating with the outbreak OF the
Democratic rebellion. bat not crimi-
nal 1t shows that soldiers "a eminent
as any that drew sword for the Union
cause in the rebellion were his friends
during the war and aflerward. Ii
shows that in the town where he lived
for twenty-five years his name is hon
ored and respected still. 1t shows
hat one of the men who to-day cor
daily endorses him was one of the
sureiies whom il is claimed he be-
trayed by becoming defaulter. The
other surety is dead or he would
stand with Mr.. Ives.
THE facts are submitted to the peo-
pie. They will not stop the mouth or
pen of any bigoted, stupid Democl attic
partisan, or professional liar and black
mailer. They may confirm, however,
the faith of some honest but timid
Republicans, and teach them another
time to hear both sides of story be-
fore they censure comrade tried and
true"
AS last evidence to show in what
estimation he is held at his home in
Leavenworth city, and by the people
who know not only Captain Anthony,
but the man who has been instrument
tai, more than any one else, in giving
currency to the SANDERS published in
his absence, we reproduce the resolu-
tons passed at an immense meeting
held at the Opera House in that city
last Saturday night. The hall was
crowded TO its fullest capacity by the
solid men Of the town and county.
AT that time he turned his attention
to his defamere, being at home. At
the close of the meeting the following
resolutions, which were telegraphed
to all the dailies, were passed uuani-
mously:

attacks have been made upon tue Hon. Geo. 4.
