A Judge as a Lottery gambler.

The following editorial appears in the Hiawa-
tba Herald of May 9th. Similar articles have
been published in its colums, every issue for
weeks past. Read it:

Here we find the incorporators, organizers,
proprietors, officers and managers Of the Kansas
Land and Immigrant Association, at Atchison,
denounced as gamblers, swinders and thieves.
Judge P. i. Hubbard was one Of the original in
corporators of this concern, and his name stands
on the record in the Secretary of States office as
such-a record that the Herald calls q State
charter of thieves and robbers. Hubbard had
agreed to put property into the enterprise, but
backed out, as that would make his connection
public. Here is Judge Hubbard, man landed
to the skies by the Herald as . pure and upright
man, an incorporation of thieving and swindling
concern. There is honesty and consistency for
you! But this is not all. These facts were pre-
sented to the editors of the Herald in time for
mention in last weeks issue of that paper, but
it suppressed them-not word upon the sub
jeet. Here is virtue for you. That is, the Herald
will advertise its virtue, by denouncing and re-
fusing to advertise for q lottery but for little
fee will undertake to force the people into elect
ing one Of the incorporstors of the lottery to O
judicial Office.
The Sabetha drance, another yowler against
lottery frauds, nearly every week publishes
something like the following, to prove that
man is not fit for office because he endorses the
managers of lottery:
Hon. John Guthrie, of Topeka, present chairman Of
the State Central Committee think Just
y entitled to the nomination of his long
ing candidate but fail 10 find but few outside Of
the Topeka lottery swindle who think
A man who endorses the managers of lottery
is not fit for Governor; but an originator and

Judge, "and we'll see that he's elected, all the
same" says the 1drance.
Won't it be nice when suits are bropgbt
against the Atchison Lottery, to recover money
which they have stolen, to have the cases tried
before Judge Hubbard, one of the incorporators
of the lotteryi
The stupid asses of the Hiawatha Herald had
better encase themselves in "patent outsides,"
and haul in their ears.
