TssE,POwER OF MONEY.

The country members of the late county
end TO the Bond dynasty in our county af-
fairs, and were defeated by the city men,
bers. This was done, it is alleged by the use
OF money, and several witnesses are ready
to swear tha; they saw money paid TO dele
gates who had been pledged to the support
OF other candidates, and who, after receiving
the money, voted for Bouds can

III o-ghoal the county that he mas been in

posed to elect him again, by proxy = and
everybody knows that this is all the elec.

All the stories that are circulated about
loves connection or sympathy with the
bondhollers are simply for the purpose OF
binding the people to the fac; that the
same clique, which has been fai,ening at the
public crib for the past four years, is after
a new base, and is Bonds man is elected
Bond will be The sheriff for The next two
years. Ii there IS anything wrong in loves
record-if he has ever been guilty Of an act
or word in the interests of the bondholders,
let his enemies point 10 il his record is be-
fore the pGbiic-if l. is not clean let them
show it. In their frantic endeavors TO
ejudicc him before the people, they resort
TO all manner OF lying, and lie with SO lit
tie of discretion that everybody can
see ihat they are lying. Take one instance
As a sample: Eond's organ, a few days
ago, charged that Mr. Lowe was one of the
parties who asked for, and obiainod,-in
o.her words "stolen-the coun.v's stock IN
the Kansas Pacific road, TO aid them in
building a road from here % Atchison
Now, The charge of being parry 10 the
stealing of two huldred and fifty thousand
dollars in raj Dad stock is a very grave
one, but unfortunately for those making l.,
every man who knows aEything about The al
fairs OF Leavenwofih county knows that
The Kansas Pacific sock was nerer girea 10
the road from here % Atehison; the people
know that the Kansas Pacific stock, which
Lowe is charged with sealing 10 aid road
from here 10 Atchison, was given TO the
Narrow Gauge road, and that p. G. Lowe
never had any more interest in that road
than any other cItizen of Ire county
These are facts which any intelligent man
in the county is familiar with, and We call
the attention OF the people to them at this
time merely to show what iniamods means
are resof.ed to by the Bond clique, to per-
petuate their hold upon the public teat.

The election in F.anoc look place dav be.
fose yestcrdaY-SUuday-and on account
OF The great importance O. the issues invol,
we'd the result is looked io- with a great
deal Of anxiety. Is ma er Of vastly more
moment than anything hat could be done
in the course Of The war in the east. A
battle lost by the Turks or the Russians in
Bulgaria might not b. followed by ANY,
thing OF Importance, as it would neither
send the latter 10 CUnstan.inople nor cause
the former to despair OF the safety Of their
capital; but the French decision NAV be
attended with tie gravest effects, both at
home and abroad. II the Republicans have
triumphed, J. csidont McM9Ion and his
supporters may bring about civil
war, and cause France 10 be
9edGced 10 even 4 lowes position than
that which She knew Immediately after she
had been conquered ly tire Germans. ii
the Eeactionists have triumphed, foreign
war may be the TesG!t; and ior foreign war
France is far lJss prepared than she was in
1870, for then she had reputation to sup
port and to rely upon, whereas nov she is
regarded as a beaten country.
What the result has been, 10 one at this
distance can even conjecture, for the ocean
cables are all out Of order, and have not
brought us word from Europe since Sat-
urday night. Bat the Goyernment-the
Ministry OF last May has labored earnestly
and unscrupulously, to make Republican
victory impossible. 1t started out with the
determination to crush oUt" all opposition,
and ii is difiicul; to suppose that it has not
accomplished something; and It's organs
were confident Of success. On the other
hand, the Republicans have not been less
confident OF re-electing all the 363 deputies
who condemned The reactionists five months
since; and theS talked of carrying the num-
Der Of their deputies up to 100. With such |
force in The Chamber, and were the gov
ernment 20 submit to the popular verdict, |
ali would be well; but even il the Republi- |
cans have accomplished all that they claim
cd IN advance, that may be only the begin
ming Of the greatest of troubles for France |
for the government may then proceed TO
violence, and set mp another sovereign, who
would have to sit on bayonets in spite of |
Felix xScwHrzenberg's declaration that everv-
thing can be done with bayonets-except TO
sit upon them. The Republicans have
borne themselves throughout the campaiy IN
with a great deal Of moderation, thus show
ing confidence in their strength, while the
course OF the ministry has been character
lied by acts of violence and tyranny. show
lug that they regarded heir case as desper-
ale.
LArEE.-Since the above was put in type
cable communication has been restored, and
sufficient returns have been received TO show
that the Republicans have been victorious
-electing three hundred and twenty men,-
bers of the Chambe, oi Deputies. against
two hundred and ten elected by the Con-
servatives sF MacMahon party.

TIE SAME NOW as IiEEN.
The position OF THE TINEs on the bond
question is the same now that il has been
for the past ten years. Upon every occasion
in season and out Of season, We have never
failed 10 express our convictions. The
editor 81 The TINI.s has always favored the
industrial CLASSES and fought thebond hold
ers. and We are proud Of ihc fact that to-day
rHE TiaEs is regarded by the laborins
men As their organ.
On the 1lth OF June 1867, We were The
owners Of the BgE.tia, and on that date We
published our declaration Of principles in
the following plain and explicit language:
ave favor the repud!ation Of the city and
county railroad bonds. They were Illegally
Issued.''
We fayo1 tie taxation Of all national,
state, county and town secGrit.e-."
We faver the 'iissuing OF sJJ0,9s0,oOO more
grcnbacks."
We think the old settlers Of Leavenworth
now give Us credit for boldness in uttering
our opinions IN early days when they were
unpopular, and remaining true to the same
opinions when the eat majority acknowl,
edge their truth. 1t is well sometimes to
remember the past.
We call attention to these facts at the
present lime, not A. 4 matter Of information
to our readers for every old citizen Of the
comfy Rs familiar with our record on these
important "a, 'ious but because we have
been charged DT people Who know nothing
about Lcavenwor.h or her interests, with
being in sympathy with the bondholders
and We simply refer to our
well known record upon all
such questions, as the only answer ne,
cessary to be made 10 such silly charges
Actions speak louder than words, and if q
life time spent in fighting against monopo.

not sufficient answer 10 all such absurd
charges as those referred to above, it would
be idle for US to multiply words upon the
subject. We have fought to the bit.
ter end every steal that has been
perpetrated upon the people
OF this county, and We have advocated the
utter repudiatioa OF debts dishonesty sad
died upon u.s. And because We believe this
position TO be right We appeal to the voters
OF Leavenworth county TO vote at the COM
ing election for such men only as will prove
true to the people. We believe in Republi.
can principles, and we support the nomi.
nees OF the Republican party, whenever those
nominees are worthy Of support, but what
does party success in local election
amount TO, when our homes are in danger.
The question for US to ask ourselves at this
time is, will the barren ideality" OF a
local party success compensate us for the
terrible risk we are asked TO take, in put
ting men into office who can be moulded
and used IN the interests OF the bond
holders? These are the questions for us to
consider at this time; and all this hue and
cry that is now being raised against us and
the candidate we are supporting FOR sheriff,
is fOr the pIrpose OF throwing dust into the
eyes of the people, and binding them to
the real questions at issue, in order to gen

When Louisiana was reached the Cierl
made the following statement There wer,
received certificates from the s;ate of Louis.
lana, bearing date of the 20th of December
1876, and declaring certain persons elected
from the First, Fourth and Sixth distric $
but silent rs 10 other districts Inasmuch
however, as John McEnne.y was never th,
defacto Governor OF Louisiana, and never
in point of fact, Exercised or performed
the functions of that Office, il Is
not deemed necessary 10 make
here, any statement concerning the regular
ity or irregularjty OF the creden, ais coming
from that source. AEo;her set OF creden-
tials was signed by Wu. Pit Kellogg, as
Governor of Louisiana, with the seal OF the
state attached, all bearing different da'es
and all OF which reached the hands of the
Clerk through different channels, declaring
persons elected from each OF the districts
except The second, as to which district DO
certificate seems to have been issued by
Kellogg to any one. The law of Louisiana
prescribing the character Of credentials,
provides that as soon as possible
after the expiration OF the tine
of making returns of election
for Representatives in Congress, a ceriif-
cate of the returns shall be entered on rec
ord by the Secretary OF State, and signed by
the Governor, and that one copy thereof,
subscribed to by those officers, shall be de-
livered to the persons 80 elected, and anoth
er copy transmitted to the clerk of the
House of Representatives. These creden
tials, signed by Gov. Kellogg, are in no
sense in compliance with the requirement
Of the law OF Louisiana, and they do not
even purport to be- copy Of the certificates.
On the contrary, they are simple declara-
tion, by Gov. Kellogg, that ce, lain Re. sons
were elected, without even stating the source
Of his information, and they no more 'onsti-
tute credentials within the meaning OF the
law OF louisiana, than a similar statement
treasurer or other state officials would
do. They cannot, therefore, be recognized
by the Clerk. The other set of credentials
is signed by Governor Nichols and Secretary
Of State Arago, with the seal of the state at
,ached. They declare the persons elected
in each of the districts of Louisiana, and
conflict with the certificates signed by Gov
.rnor Kellogg. In reference to two dis
ricts, only three Of the credentials comply |
With the law OF Louisiana in every respect,
