TROY, KANSAS:
Thursday, -: November 8, 1877.

THE LAST REs0RT.-The enemies of Mr.. Burk-
halter, it was supposed, had exhausted all the
ISLANDERS in their vocabulary, for the purpose OF
defeating him. They had mustered mp every
man who had private grievance; every man
who had been refused credit for meat; every
man who had been dunped for his account; and
every man who thought that too much was
charged for meat. They had accused him Of rob-
bing dead man, and of having stolen cattle on
Brush Creek Their final appeal. their forlorn
hope, - it were, was an appeal to religious big
otry aud intolerance. This came in the shape of
q charge that Mr.. Burkbalter was an Iafdei, and
had talked sueeriugiy of Sunday schools! Yes,
it was even asserted that he was an Iafdel, like
the editor of the Chief!
In this free country, where the Constitution
wisely prohibits religious test in voting or
holding office, an election is never allowed to
pass without an appeal to religious intolerance.
1t was raised against Mr.. Forncrook, two years
ago and it was sprung against DIR. Long, as
well as against Mr. Burkhalter, in this campaign.
What has mans religious views got to do with
holding oficei In an election, what is it any
mans business what the religious belief of q
candidate isl
It may be as well to say that the charge
against Mr. Burkhalter is false. He was raised
in the Lutheran faith, and is not an Inidel.
The charge fell still-born upon the public ear.

Nor MUcH.-sevsral leading Democrats said
to MS on election day, that within two years
Doniphan County would be Democratic. Won
der what they think of it now' With light
VOTE and with lack of harmony in the ranks the
Republicans have rolled up their usual majority,
and have even given handsome majority to the
candidate against whom all the assaults were
directed. These Democrats, in calculating that
the County was becoming Democratic, have bas-
ed their hopes upon the marplots and sore-hesds
who have for several years past been vent
ing their spite in efforts to defeat Republican
County tickets. They have run the length of
their string, and have at last been circumvented.
Hereafter, they will be powerless for mischief.
Doniphan County is as strongly Republican as
1t ever was. Good, hard work was all that was
necessary; and that work was done. The whole
ticket is elected, from top to bottom. Hereafter,
we think, the Republicans will have better har-
mony, and not let traitors and sore heads use
them to break down the party. Doniphan Coun-
ty is not becoming Democratic.

81 STILL LIvE.'-Now. that the election is over
We may as well axplain the milk in the cocoa.
nut; for we did not wish to make our own af.
fairs an issue in the canvass. The whole bitter
tight against some Of the candidates, WAS solely
on account Of their being friends of the Chief
Z. g. Bridges bought the w.thena Reporter, and
moved it to Troy, for the purpose of running out
the Chief. He WAS going to fight 1t right here
at home, aud finish it up. When Charley Burk.
halter advised him to seek new location, where
he could grow mp with the country, and be q
leading man, as his coming hero would only stir
up discord and bad feeling, Bridges replied that
he had to come here, as the persons who were
backing him, would do so only on condition
that he come here and opposed the Chief This
has been the guiding star in all his movements
He has got up ticket after ticket, the main fea-
ture being to secure men who would give him
the printing. He has been heard to boast that
ne would have the County printing. after this
year. His first determination was to defeat Mr.
Leland with the rest. But the more he tried,
the more he found he couldn't do it; he yielded
point after point, until at last he would have
been content with the promise of an old pair of
boots-but he has missed every point. His fight
against Burkhalter was forlorn hope, q strug-
gle OF desperation. He felt sure that Long would
be beaten in the First District-some of his bum
mers in that country had assured him of it-and
he had longing hope that trap would be
sprung to beat Deckard in the Third District
He has lost them all. After keeping up q con-
slant fire agaist Fred. Harpster, he finds that his
defeat has not bettered the matter q particle.
The Chief has lived without any County print
ing but it is handy thing to have around. When
they try to play out the Chief they may bet
their bottom dollar that the Chief will see them
through with it.
The above explains the whole business Of fight
ing part Of the ticket, and the constant fusl-
ade kept mp against the Chief by the Bnlletis
and its correspondents, for the last six months.
This is why Mowry came to the aid of the Bsl-
letin. in fighting the Republican ticket. He
wanted to punish the Chief, for denouncing his
confession of fraudulent organization
of Counties.
Those who would not back the editor of the
Bulletin unless be came here and fought the Chief
will be mighty sick at the stomach over it, be-
fore they are through with their fun.

for Sheriff, he wouid have had our hearty support.

MowRY.-We guess Mowry will now begin to
believe that the Chief was right, in saying that
he had better retire for purifcation and repairs.
He made an elaborate canvass of the County,
snd used all the appliances of q demagogue to
prejudice the dissatisfied but the result shows
that be received but little, if any, $50 votes
In the County. Most of the sore heads voted d.
reilly for Plank.
Some of the Wathens people were not pleased
with what we said, last week. We learn that
there ras q record of the votes kept there at the
primary election. We got our information to
the contrary from O. citizen of Wathena, but he
must have been mistaken. But they know that
we told the truth generally in what We said
about Mowry's transactions. Some of them
even acknowledge it now. Mowry is the wrong
man to travel around and howl about the trick
cry in Republican Conventions. If these Con-
ventions have sometimes not been what they
should have been, Mowry has done more than
any other dozen men to make them disgrace.
The man that paid his expenses, in his late men,
orable canvass, has made a big speculation.
