The BULLETIN, TRANsLATED-The Bsllefip's
notice of the candidates, translated into short
and sweet English, would read thus:
We have have abused Burkbalter so that VIC
cannot expect anything from him. Mr.. Plank is
good man, and q fair man ; as we have never
abused him, we prefer open Democrat to one
in disguise, and we think he would give us some
thing.
Dr. Long and DR.. Nutting are both good men,
and the First District will be fortunate in the
election of either. As VIC don't know how the
thing is going up there, We'll bobble between
them, and hope that the successful man will give
US something.
We know but little of Mr.. Deekard, but nm
derstand that he is o fair man. Mr. Williams is
also man who would look to the interests of
the people. With either of them the District
would be fortunate, and We might stand a chance
to get something.
Mr. Leland is 4 man of rare business aualifi-
cations, and a man who carries out whatever he
determines upon. As he has been nominated in
spite OF MS, we propose to smear on the soft soap
with both hands, hoping that, IN the confusion,
he'll give us 50 mething.
The other Offices have nothing to give there
fore, hurrah for all Of You, and the devil take
the hlndmost. Hope that Henshall may be the
hindmost, as he has stubbornly refused to wor-
ship ut our elegant shrine.
The Greenback party doesn't amount to much.
but it may, in time. When 1t does grow strong.

ANOTHER FEATHER FOR KANsAs.-Kansas has
made . line start in another direction. We have
received piece of music, composed by citizen
OF Kansas, aud published by Kansas house. 1t
Is the beautiful song, "Onr Old Brown Home
stead, arranged for the piano and flute, by Prof.
=. .. siie, and printed at Geo. W. Martins State
PRINTING House. And the printing will compare
favorably with that Of any regular music pub
fishing honse In the country. This music is pub
iished by Frank Drummond, of Topeka. The
publisher says Of this song "The author of these
lines is nnknown-perhaps long since dead" 1t
is true that tho author has been dead for few
years, but is not unknown. 1t is one of Phoebe
Cary's sweetest songs.

The GREENBACKERs.-Tbe Green back Rati6ca-
ton meeting, called to meet in Troy, on Monday,
met according to programme. We learn from
lockers on that there were about four Green
hackers present. A reporter gives an amusing
account of it, in another column. s. E. Hardy
declined the nomination for Sheriff, and d. S.
Campbell was nominated in his place. Those
who are intimate with Mr. Campbell, say that
he will not have anything to do with it, He
was solicited to be candidate for the Republi-
can nomination, and declined TO leave his busi-
ness, for the purpose Of entering into politics.
We understand that he supports the Republican
ticket.
John L. Blair was nominated for Commission
or for the First District, and benjamin Harding,
for the Third District. They left clear field to
Mr.. Leland in the Second District.
We have EothiDg to say against the Greenback
party because it is small but we hope. that the
Republicans in the movement will see what the
drif Of the thing is in time to avoid the trick that
is set for them. Democrats are now making high
calculations for their ticket, on the ground that
the Greenback ticket will take mostly Republican
votes, and put them ahead. We are told that
Mr.. Rippey prspoeed to 8. Z. Hardy that he
"snuho" ~ i"'oA VI hahn, out tuat uaruy re-
fused to do 50, bat simply withdrew on his own
account. Mr. Hardy has never been Republ-
can, but he will not allow himself to be used to
injnre good man, against whom causeless
war is being waged. We are also informed that
Mr.. ODrscoll, in the Qualification" meeting,
proposed that they nominate only Republicans.
Why was ths' Simply for the purpose of TAX
ing Republican votes, leaving the Democratic
vote solid. Mr.. O'Driscoll may he clever man,
but he has played his game little too often.
He will get all the Republicans he possibly can
to commit themselves to the GreenLack ticket,
and then, the Sunday before the election, he will
quietly slip around among his Irish brethren
out west, and exhort them all TO stick to the
Democratic ticket. A Democrat who has been
acting with the Greenback party, and is honest
in it, would not attend the meeting, saying that
there was a trick such as we have foreshadowed
above. He would not be party to it but said
the Republicans had adopted as good green
back platform as the greenbackers themselves,
with not near many words, and had adopted
much better declaration in favor of the labor
ing men, and had nominated q good, honest man
for Sheriff, and he should vote for him. Sam
Hardy would not allow himself to he made an
instrument in perpetrating this fraud. We are
told that G. W. Henderson did not wish to, but
he may have been persuaded against bis better
Judgment. 1t is time that Republican Green
hackers were looking about, to see what they

1T Is Re AcTING.-Such q warfare rs has been
carried on against Mr.. Burkhalter, could not be
indulged in long without exposing its animus,
and re-aeting in his favor. 1t has reacted; and
when stauneh citizens, who do not often vote
for q Republican, express their determination to
vote and work for his election, it is pretty evi.
dent that sense Of right and justics has be-
coae sroused against the efforts of personal
malice and hstred TO injure him. Mr.. Burkhai-
ter is man against whose character not breath
can bs uttered. He is straightforward in all
his transactioas, and his word is at par.
Why should any citizen Of Troy unite in the
hue and cry against Mr.. Bnrkhalter, and in ia
vor of men who have no interest heref For it
is q fact thxr All the feeling against him has
been manufactured and spread about BY persons
right here. He came among MS, not seeking Of
flee, but to stay, and share good and bad with
u.s.. A evidence Of this, he pnt all his money in
valuable improvements here, and erected bull
ding that is credit to the town. All be has in
the world, is here. He has attended strictly to
his business, and the way in which he has con-
ducted 1T, is sufficient evidence of his business
qualifications. He has studied the wants of the
people, and there is never time when he does
not furnish them with what they want, in the
very best conditIon-s thing which Troy never
knew, at any previous time..in its history. This
is conclusive that he attends to his business,
and does it in 6rst-class order. 1t is the quail
fcation necessary in good public officer.
The farmers throughout the country have
nearly all had dealings with him. They know
that he is strictly honest, and that his word is
his bond. He has dealt honorably by them, and
has never promised what he did not fulfill.
They can Judge how uncalled-for the abuse is
that is being heaped upon him. The place to
re buke it, 10 at the polls,

20 The Iowa Point correspondent of the Troy
Bulletin has, for some time past, been badly wor-
ried about the Chief. He devotes the principal
part of his "truck" to our benefit. Il may be
well enough to state that this disinterested phi
lanthropist, who is so profuse in his defence of
Hayes, in condemnation of the Chief, and in boost
ing up the Democratic party under the guise of be-
ing q Republican, isa rampant Democrat, who fail
ed as lawyer, and is eking out preearious exist
ence as a teacher without certificate, because
none are granted below grade 3. He soured on
the Chief some months ago, because we shut off
his wind, in his efforts to besmear one of our
correspondents, who inadvertently made a re-
mark that offended his dignity. The Balletia is
useful, in its way-it serves as q duct to carry
off the bile of every nincompoop in the County
who becomes offended with the Chief

II The platform adopted by the Democratic
County Convention conmends the economy of
the Democratic branch of Congress, in cutting
down appropriations so as to cripple every de-
partment of Government, and involving the ex.
pense of an extra session; but it had not . word
Of praise for the Republican Commissioners of
Doniphan County, in reducing the County tax,
or sustaining them on the bond question. They
could see nothing economical in Republican of
fcials. They passed by acts of economy that re-
lisve the pressure upon every mans pocket in
the County, but endorse measures that affect the
people very remotely, but cripple the Govern
ment. Well, the Republicans will keep in sight
issues that interest the people of the County,
while the Democrats resolve that Gen. Jackson
whipped the British at New Orleans, and that
Winter of 1857 was mighty cold weather.

The WHOLE TIcKET-A great deal of our
space is devoted to the fight upon Burkhalter
This is because the Democracy have virtually
given up everything else, and arc making des-
perate effort to elect their Sheriff, assisted by
malcontents in the Republican party, and men
who are paid for doing their work. But let Re.
publicans stand mp for the whole ticket. There
is but little doubts that every man on it will be
elected-we feel pretty confident that even the
Sheriff will be. Do not trade any candidate of,
for the friends of the candidate 50 traded of will
be disposed to retaliate, next time. Fight for
the whole ticket, and it will all win.

Something to Look mt and Think of.

In the fight being made against Mr.. Burkhal-
ter, thers are features which honest law abiding
citizens should pay especial attention to. 1t is
expected that Democrats should oppose him,
and there are some good men in the Republican
party who may think they have sufficient reason
for doing SO but we want to call attention to u
class of men who have called themselves Repub-
licans, who are exceptionally bitter against him,
and cannot give any good or satisfactory reason
for it. Look at them. Several years ago, the
farmers of Doniphan County were constantly
losing horses, cattle and hogs by theft. Not
week but some person suffered, and the gang
were SO well organized, that rarely was a stolen
animal recovered. At one time, many Of the
best farmers in the County organized themselves
into vigilance committee. They were satisfied
in their own minds who the depredators were,
but could not convict them by the rules of law.
At one time, they seriously contemplated taking
ont some ef these notorious characters and hang
ing them. They know whom they suspected.
Now let them look at every man of the gang, and
see if they are not, without a single exception,
most bitter and boisterous against Mr.. Burkhal-
ter. They, and every man who consorts with
them, put in every possible moment abusing
Burkhalter. Go to any part Of the County, and
you will find the lawless, the loafers, and the
dead-beats, all bobbing on the same string. Why
is this sof Because Burkhalter once suffered at
their hands, and he accused them, in their very
teeth, of doing that act and be has taken an
active part in bringing thieves of this character
to justice. If elected, he will take particular
pains to make it lively for the gentry for whom
the Comfy Board have offered standing reward
Of one hundred dollars. Every man whose hab
its and instincts run to that calling, most cor
daily hates him, and will put in his best efforts
to defeat him.
The question is, will honest and right thinking
men aid and assist these enemies of society to
put down q man who despises them, and who
considers it an honor to be hated by themi

q We have found out why Charley Burk-
halter is Democrat. It is because be does not
get out and curse the Democratic every morning
before breakfast; because he does not say
that he would rather be cheated by Re-
publican than by Democrat; and because he
does not swear that be would rather be knocked
down by Republican than shake hands with
Democrat. Some who want 10 beat him, have
professed to be hair-pins of the above descrip-
ton.

LET COLORED MEN BEwARE.-Colored Repub-
licans (and We believe every colored man is a
Republican, should now remember the advice
given them by Rev. Mr.. Hubbard, at the Eman-
cipation Celebration at Highland, to beware Of
voting for Democrats. He might also have ad-
vised them to be doubly ON their guard against
pretended Republican friends, who try to de-
ceive them into doing indirectly what they could
not be forced to do directly. The Republicans
have nominated candidate for Sheriff, and the
Democrats have nominated candidate. The
enemies of the Republican candidate are using
every means to defeat him. They tried the plan
Of calling him Democrat, but found that they
could not make much headway by that. Now
their game is to deceive the colored people, and
make them throw away their votes. They know
they cannot induce the colored people to vote
for the Democratic candidate, so they must re-
sort to deception. A man claiming to be the
especial friend of the colored people, has come OH
the track for Sheriff. He knows that every col
ored mans vote he can get is SO much taken
from the Republican candidate, and helps to de-
feat him. Let them be on their guard. If col
ored men can be found who will sell themselves,
and assist in deceiving their brethren, let them
be regarded as enemies to the best interests of
their race.

sY We woula suggest to the Bsiletia, that
Mr.. Burkhalter is not responsible for what the
Chief says, nor the Chief for what he does. When
ever we say anything dstasteful to the B3lleti.,
or anything it can construe into disrespect for
others, it straightway parades this as an argu-
ment against Burkhalter. While we support
Bnrkhalter, we do SO in our own way, without
any help from him. We are as heartily in favor
of the whole ticket as We are in favor of Burk-
hotter; therefore, the Balietis may as well at
tack the whole ticket, in retaliation for our
prodding its editor in his sore places-whieh sore
places are all over him.

II When Mowry goes on his rounds, telling
Republicans how wicked County Conventions
are, when they will not let him run them, and
trying to bamboozle the colored people, by pre-
tending that he has done 50 much for them, and
endeavoring to impress Republicans with the
awful idea that Charley Burkhalter is Demo-
crat, let them bear in mind, that in 1872 Mowry
went back on Grant, and was rip-snorting
Greeley man. He did some loud blowing for
Greeley, and if he did not actually vote for Gree
ley, he did not come around until he discovered
that Greeleyism was gone up, and until he had
done the Republican cause all the harm he
could.
