To the Vosers Of Leay,aporti Couafy:
Same DAYS since THE TI1E announced,
at NV request, that would not be candi-
date for nomination for The OF ice OF super
in,endeut of Pablo instruction. That de-
cision was made from the fi.ct that MIR.
Bradshaw and some OF Lis friends claimed
that he was entitled to the nomination &C
cording to the usage Of the party, and the
further reason that have never sought
nomination TO any Office, and do not pro-
pose to begin now.
Since that announcement vas made, 1
have Teen solicited daily by many OF the
best men OF the county, Of both political
parties, TO reverse my decision. This i can
not do. said to Mr.. Bradshaw that l
would not appear agains: him in the con-
vention, and much az like the educational
work and might desire TO CRAFTY my
friends, value my word too highly to
break ii for any Office. And i wish to say
further, that L am not, will not be, and
have rot at any time been candidate Tor
re election to the State Senate. l feel very
grateful for the assurances, that have all
along received, that could have the NOM
nation without opposition; and ! highly
appreciate the friendship and courtesy OF
the other gentlemen whose names have been
mentioned in connection with the oficr,
when they assure me that if will accept
the nomination they will not allow their
names to go before the convention.
/ trust am not SO vain or egotistical as
TO suppose that am the only man in the
Democratic party, in the district, that can
be elected, and az my farm interests have
suffered somewhat in the past six years for
want of personal attention, l am more than
satisfied to be merely voter in the coming
election. | have not sOlrtd on politics or
"any body" reiiher do | say as some gen
tlsmen do, emery now and then, that
swami nothing more to do with politics or
public affairs" No, my home and what
ever interests L have are in LeaveDworth
county, and as "I've come to stay" l can
never have other than deep interest In
our county and city.
The people of Leavenworth county have
done for me more than i could have asked
for myself, that have many times served
them imperf.ctly, l have no doubt, but
am equally conscious of having been faith
fol 10 their interests at all times whatever
mistakes may have bern mine, they have
been Of the head and not of the heart.
10 the members of the Democratic party
who have so frequently honored me with
their nominations and hearty support, and
to the hundreds OF Republicans Of city and
country who have voted for me in the past,
| tender my sincere and heartfelt thanks,

Fir. SoorT. Kan, October IA large
meeting assembled At the courthouse in
this city tonight to listen to an expose Of
the fraudulent pretenses of devotion to
principles made by the leaders of the Green
back party In this county. Owing 70 the
activity of W. F. Sargent and N. E Hud-
son this county is being made the hot-bed
of the Greenback Imitation party Of the
State. They are making desperate effort
to canv this county. Their principal ar
gument before the people is that the Repub-
lican and Democratic parties are both hope
iessly corrupt In both principles and prac-
tees, and that the Greenback is the only
party of principle and honesty. They de-
nounce bot. the old parties in unmeasured
terms, and all conaection With them.
At the meeting tonight a number of let
tiers were read from members of the original
Greenback State Central Committee, show
ing beyond all question that it was the in
tention Of the Greenback Convention to
unite with the Democrats in the hope of de-
feating the Republic ans. and that the Cen.
trail COMMITTEES vas empowered and in
ssructed to effect The union.
The committee nj With the Denocrst;c

SENATOR HARVEY

Arrived in the city yesterday afternoon and

nov making tour of the State, actively
engaged in pushing The Republican csn-
ra@, and wherever be goes deals telling
blows to the Democracy. Since his entry

probabilities are that The people, IN recog-
pi,ion of his services, will return him at the
evuiration Of his present term of Office.

DENVER, Col October THE following
are the Republican majorities on the can
didase receiving the smallest vote on the
State ticket: Arapahoe county, 1888; Clear
Creek, 40; Ebert, IL; Ell Paso, 1924; Gil
pin, 2S3; Grand, As; Larimer, so; PARK,
So; uumi,t, IA; Wild, 81; Boulder, 46l !;
Saguache, 1913; Costello, estimated, 500
Cornejo', estimated, SO; San Juan. estima-
ted, so; Rio Grande, estimated, 50.
The following counties have given Dem
ocratic majorities: Bent, FOG; Douglas,
81 Fremont, So Pueblo, 1877; Jefferson, /.
And the Democrats claim majoritiss as fol
lows: In New Faxano county, 300; Lake,
SO; Laplatts, 100; Los Animus, 500. But
no official returns have been received from
these four counties. This embraces all the
counties in the etate, and it will be seen
from the figures that after allowing all
that is claimed by the Democrats in the
four last mentioned counties, the Republi-
can majority will be l ,3O4. On their State
ticket and official returns already in chow
they have the legislature in both branches
BY at least two thirds Of all members.

but offered to give up all the other candI-
dates on their ticket il the Democrats would
nominate Hudson. The proof is positive
that Sargent was willing 10 60 into the
Democratic party provided they would &C.
cep, his man for Governor. Now he and
his assistants are striving to carry Bourbon
county By denouncing both parties and all
persons who will no, unite or cooperate
with them.
The meeting was the most important
held in this county during the campaign,
and convicts the greenback leaders of the
cheapest kind Of demagoguism. The fraud
is now efsctualIy exploded, and the party
of principle" thoroughly exposed.

DENVER, Col, October 4.-The Republi-
cans have carried Colorado by a majority
of more than two thousand. They have
elected their entire State ticket, Congress
man and three-fourths Of the Legislature,
which secures two Republican United
States Senators and three electoral votes for
Hayes and Wheeler. In 1874, Patterson,
Democrat for Congress, was elected by 1888
majority.
The campaign has been thorough one
by both parties, and the result above given
you can fully rely upon as correct.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, October "a Kansas
City Times" Denver special tonight sayr
Mr.. Butler, Oh airman OF the State Commit
tee, states that there is nothing tonight to
change his estimates Of last night, except
the returns from Saguache county, which
gives "a instead of so Republican majority,
as allowed, making difference OF "a in IA
vor Of the Republicans from what was al.
lowed them yesterday. The official returns
from Las Animas county confirm the esli-
mate of la.t night; that county gives
Hughes COL, and Patterson COZ majority
the estimate was 600. Rio Grande, which
the Republicans have been claiming, re-
turns show will be about stand of, while
the Democrats elect the Representative and
probably the Senator.
Mr.. Butler claims that there is something
very mysterious in the manner in which
the returns from Boulder county are being
~ithheld. The Republicans claim 43O ma
jority in that county, and Mr.. Butler, after
sending two messengers and repeated tele-
grams, has not been able 10 learn what the
vote really is. Boulder county is within
so miles miles of this city, with free rail-
road and telegraph communications, but
still the complete vote is withheld. Mr..
Butler says his messengers report that the
county officials states that several of the
precincts are still to be heard from, and GIN
not give the exact Republican msjority.
Mr.. Butler claims that it will not exceed
800. and is just as confident Of the election
Of the Democratic ticket as he was last
night. Only three counties are to be heard
from, and If Buffers estimates hold as good
in them as in Others, the entire Democratic
ticket is elected by 800 majority.

small vote and cannot give either party
much OF majority. The REPUBLICANS

and most ethu-iastic political meeting
held in this city since 1873 was held to-
night. 1t was preceded by . fine torch
light procession. Judge Horton presided
and the address of the evening was made
BY Senator John ]. Ingolls. He spoke for
ever two hours, and his speech was one OF the
most logical, eloquent and earnest addresses
ever made in Atchison. The largest hall
in the city was crowded with people, and
hundreds were unable TO get starding room.
The Republicans are enthusiastic over the
success of this demonstration
