- The Bulletin is now disturbed about Fred.
Harpster. As we were not delegate from the
First District, We could not vote to nominate
Harpster; but We still say, as we have said, that
he has made good Commissioner, aud looked
after the interests Of the people. Many of the
citizens of his own Township are prejudiced
against him, and elected a delegation unfavora-
bic to him. As his own Township did not sup
port him, Iowa Township claimed her right to
the place, and presented . number one man for
the Office, who was nominated unanimously. We
believe that the prejudice against Harpster is in
a grest measure unjust, and without sufficient
cause; but that does not destroy the fact that
it exists, and that it would have been useless to
have insisted upon his nomination.

He says that two of the candidates for Sheriff,
Rnrkhalter and John Maquilken, have warm
friends up there. John Maquilken is not can
didate for Sheriff-at least, he does not profess
to be, and is not known here as o candidate. If
any persons at White Clound are using his name
in that connection, it is for the purpose of draw
ing off and wasting votes that would otherwise
20 for Burkhalter, and is part of the combina-
tion for defeating the Republican and electing
the Democratic candidate. Let no man be de-
ceived by such tricks. If it is found necessary,
in order to get votes from Burkhalter that Plank
and Mowry cannot take, they may bring out Ma
quilken, at the last moment. "Every little
helps" as the old woman said.

II Some of the Democrats object to our as
serting that their ticket was all "fixed," before
hand. We made the statement upon the
strength of what was told us by a delegate.
And this we do know Some days before the
Democratic Convention, when the friends Of
Baird and Russell were hard at work for their
men, not dreaming that the thing was set up on
them, q Democrat remarked to us that Pryor
Plank would beat any man the Republicans
could put up. 1t was also noticed in the Con-
vention, that when some unsophisticated dele
gate would propose candidate who was in the
secret, the mau SO proposed would get up and
intimate that another was booked for the place.

ty Clerk, mistook the Office; but the Judge

Lightly, crop out all through every article on
County politics, whether it relates to Republi-
can or Democrat. The prominent idea constant
ly suggested is, "heu give me nothing" or
she'll not patronize me-" After abusing Charles
Burkhalter, without provocation, to . degree
that would incense any man of spirit, it oppos-
es him, and asks the Republicans of the County
to oppose him. because it thinks that be will
not give it any patronage. That is the only
reason given, thus far, why Burkhalter should
not receive Republican votes-as if the Repub-
lican party Of Kansas is bound to back it in all
its assaults upon individuals, aud make it an is
sue to demand that everybody patroniEe it. 1t
is well known that Mr.. HenshalI, Chairman of
ed to use his position to make the party feed
er to the Bulletin. Last weeks B.lletia had on
ly sneers and slurs, and contemptuous rsmar Ks
for Henshall. After weeping and blowing its
nose because Mr.. .Rappelye, who has held Office
twelve years out of the last fourtnp, was not
re- e-nomnated, after refusing to sliqS his name
to 60 before the Convention, it coOily remarks
of Tom Vanderslice, who has held Office for four
years, that he has been in long enough, and
ought to stand aside for somebody else. This is
the milk in that cocoa-nut: When the Bxlletta
was started, Vanderslice did not stop patronizing
the Chief and pile all his Sheriff Sales into the
BnlletiH.
In short, the BMllcfiH has reached that envia-
ble reputation, that when it supports man for
office, or when it speaks Of him in gentleman
ly manner, the public mentally remark, she's
been paid for it,"

WOULDNN'T Buy The Bulletin may try to
founder ont of the charge we made, that it sent
agents to Burkhalter, to try to secure some sort
of bargain, but it is true, nevertheless. The
editor of the Bulletin has its friends make propo-
sitions, and when detected, says he did not make
the proposition. Almost up to the hour of going
to press last week, the editor of the Bulletin had
friends trying to obtain pledges fiom Burkhal-
ter, to secure the support at least the silence
of the Bulletin. Had he offered the bribe, those
savage articles in the paper against him would
have been suppressed. His reply, in substance
was as follows: Bridges has abused me without
and has done me all the harm that
he could. If he should come ont and support
me now, everybody would know at once that
had bought him, and it would lose me more
votes than would gain. If elec ted, would be
willing to do by him what was right, but would
have to be the judge of what was right. i'll
can't be elected without bribing him, would
prefer to be defeated"

ONE ISSUE TO BE MET.-In the contest for
Sheriff. the election of Burk halter is not the on
ly issue. There il one abuse that that has grad
ually crept up, until it has become like the Old
Man of the Sea-it must be strangled, or it will
strangle the Republican party in this County.
This abuse consists of set of teaches and black
mailers, both newspaper and individual, that
offer the Republican candidates the alternatives
Of bleeding or being defeated. They either de-
mand q series of pledges from candidates as to
patronage, or make deputyship the price of
their not fighting the ticket, or demand stipu.
lated sum in ready cash rs a consideration for
not running against the ticket. In what respect
are these fellows better than the rest of the vo-
ters of the County, that they must be paid to
support the ticket of the party that they profess
to belong tot Do they own certain number
of voters, whom they..can control as they please,
and use them for the purpose of squeezing mon
ey and favors out of Republican candidatesi We
are not prepared to say whether Mr.. Plank has
promised any deputyships, or patronage, or paid
any blood money, or not. If any of these gentry
have been after him, he had better pay a. he
goes; for this thing of an officer Of one party
choosing deputies from the opposite party, be.
gins to "look queer to the eye" But as for Mr..
Burkhalter, lie has determined not to bleed. He
has made up his mind either tc be elected
without feeding leeches and back-mailers, or to
be defeated. If this tribe are once handsome
ly cleaned out, it will put an end to their occu-
patton; but if their demands are yielded to,
the imposition will 20 on forever. 1t is for the
Republicans of the County to decide whether q
man shall be elected on his qualifications, or
whether blood suckers shall control the fate of
fickats after fhex are nominafed

look out for all manner of buggaboo stories, es-
pecially about Mr.. Burkhalter. They will find
out startling things against him will announce
that the Republicans are abandoning him; that

anything that will have o tendency to injure
him. IL is customary to send forth such batch
of stuff, on the eve of every election. Remem-

Rappelye apA McIntesh.

The Bsilsfis weeps whole chunks Of salt over
the treatment of RappeIye and Mcintosh by the
Republican Convention, and iterates and reit-
crates that they were sold out to secure votes
for Barkhaiter. Very strangely, the BsIIetia
does not accuse Burkhalter of causing Mr. Rap
pelyc's house to burn down, some years ago, or
Mr.. Mcintosh to he shot in the hand, while in
the army. 1t should attend to these thirss, and
let those gentlemen know all the mischief Burk-
halter has done them. But as there are persons
who might balieve something Of this swapping
and selling business, they might well know
the facts.
There were present in the Convention, sixty
two delegates. There were thirty -four dele
gates, or q majority Of six, positively pledged
to Burkbalter, Internationally. This would have
been a majority of full Convention of sixty
seven. Besides, there were eight or ten who
expressed themselves favorably, if candidate
they might like better were not brought before
the Convention. Having clear majority, it is
pretty evident that the friends of Burkhalter
were not compelled to sell anybody out, to Sc
cure his nomination. Mr.. Mowry saw this was
the case, and took occasion to slide out, as very
poor pretext for not abiding by the decision of
the Convention.
In the second place, nearly the entire Wolf
River delegation, which was pushing the claims
of Mr.. Morse, voted against Burkhalter in the
Convention. At least nine ont of the twelve
delegates did this. Does this look like trade
to secure the nomination of Morsei
But the third fact is the strongest Of all. Mr..
Rappelye and Mr.. Mcintosh both refused to al
low their names to 60 before the Convention,
and therefore have no right to claim that they
were sold ont. Men in the Convention, who
were competent judges, give it is their opinion
that both these gentlemen would have been
nominated, had they submitted their names. As
they refused to 20 before the Convention, they
could not he sold ont. But mischief makers,
who hoped to have Rappeye and Mcintosh make
an independent race, and thus help to defeat the
Republican ticket, were very busy persuading
both gentlemen that they were to be sold ont,
and thus induced them to stay out of the Con-
ventidn.
Mr.. Mcintosh is not making himself unhappy
over this matter. We have not talked with Mr..
Rappelye, but have no doubt that the Bulletin
is shedding tears for him by selfspponted proxy.
When either of these gentlemen runs for Office,
he runs with the expectation of being elected.
They do not come ont as stool pigeons, to secure
the defeat of somebody, or the election of some
body else. The Bulletin will not make much
capital by working its salt-spring on their &C.
count.

Eiectieneerlng Doage..

Now look out for all manner of "gags" to make
headway for candidates. The Democracy have
no hope of electing any their candidates except
Sheriff, but they hope that they can get the as
sistauce Of enough sorr-head Republicans to
give them that Office Therefore, they are put
ting forth all their efforts on Sheriff.
One trick is for some great, strapping, loud
mouthed fellow to appear in . community, an
nouncing that he halls from Goose Creek; that
he has always voted the Republican ticket, but
that Pryor Plank is one Of the best men that
ever lived, and he is now going to vote for him,
rs are all bis Republican neighbors. Just set it
down that the man from Goose Creek is dyed
in-the-wool Democrat, and that his Republican
neighbors are not responsible for his CAB.
We understand that Mr.. Plank himself, as an
evidence OF how lie is going to sweep things is
representing that he will get 800 Republican
votes in Iowa Township. He will not get any
such thing, and Mr.. Burkhalter will come out of
Iowa Township with handsome majority. Mr..
Burkhalter is as straight and competent ss Mr.
Plank is, and there is no isducement for any Re-
publican to vote for Plank. We have said that
Mr. Plank was good man, and We still say so.
We propose to treat him As gentleman, but
oppose him as a politician. He has always been
a hard-shell Democrat, aud never split his vote
in favor Of good Republican against Demo
crat who was not SO good. He will get some
Republican votes, but he will lose some Demo-
cratic votes. The manner in which he was
sprung upon the Convention, to clear the way
for other men for other Offices, pushing young
men overheard, has not done him any good.
Matters connected with the license suit Of Iowa
Point, growing ont Of his own negligence as
Mayor, and his action relative TO the bond of o
prominent Democrat Of that place, who has been
repeatedly elected to Office, created feeling
which will not help him any. So that it will
be seen that it is not altogether lovely in the
Democratic household. Mr.. Plank is not going
to carry the entire Democratic vote, and is not
going to get the tremendous Republican vote he
pretends he will.
