that the Sentinel had gone back him. because "he

The bug-eye beat of the Sentinel is here prov
en- a liar out of his own paper. But it must be
borne in mind that the expressions last quoted
were printed before Mr.. Brown called around
and handed him S.. This is the same chap that
requested rs to announce that Mr. Gilmore had
been taken off the Greenback ticket for Commits
sioner, and John L. Blair put in his place, which
called out card from the Committee, stating
that such action WIS unauthorized. The editor
of the Sentinel is rather light weight to run
whole County. He is better success in steal
ing from Josh Billings aud other writers, re-
vamping the sentiments, aud then palmng them
off as original.

THAT CIRcULAR.-The story of the rescue of q
horse thief at White Cloud by Phil. Kelley, as
related in Guthrie's circular, was a wholesale
lie, written by Guthrie himself. All the founda-
ton there was for it was, that last June, a man
was arrested in White Cloud, on a charge of
stealing horses. After being held the length of
time the law allowed, he demanded an examin-
alton, which was given him and as there was
no evidence produced against him, and no war
rant for his detention, the Justice of the Peace
could do nothing but discharge him. Two
unknown men were there, trying to detain him,
without proof or warrant. The alleged culprit
asked Kelley what he would do, if it were his
case. Kelley replied, "If it was me, I'd knock
them down, and go about my business" That's
the extent of his organizing mob, resisting the
officers of the law, and placing their lives in
danger. The officers of White Cloud gave them
all the assistance in their power but asthey could
produce no warrant for the mans arrest, nor
even swear that he had stolen the horses, they
were compelled to give the prisoner his lawful
rights.

The NEXT PREsIDENcY.-During the past
year, bright visions of the next Presidency float
ed before Democratic eyes They counted upon
electng that officer, with confidence that did
not admit of doubt; aud they had alre ady be-
gun to apportion the offices among themselves.
But this Falls elections have terribly shaken
their hopes They show that it is not only pos
sible that the Democracy may fail but that it
is almost absolutely certain that the Republi-
cans will again carry the Presi Dental election.
The solid South, that was going to accomplish
such wonders in connection with the Democrat
ic States of the North, finds itself powerless,
with solid North against her. Southern outrsges,
rebel raids on the Treasury, and Tilden ciphers,
have opened the peoples eyes. The Republicans
have carried enough States, this Fall, to insure
the Presidency. They have carried States with
Electoral votes enough to elect President,
without Indiana and Oregon, which have gone
Democratic, aud California, which has held no
election this year, and eau also afford to lose
Connecticut and New Jersey, and then have
some to spare. The Republicans will run this
Government for some years longer.

REFRESH THEIR MEMoEY.-wben the High
land SeRtisel gets done yswping about the high
toned Republican Of that locality revolving in
disgust against the infamous ticket nominated
by the Republicans, will it please remind them
of twelve years ago, when they voted almost
unanimously for old man Parker, q consummate
old iguoramus, and the laughing stock of the
Legislature, and with him defeated Col. Keith,
the ablest man and the best qualified for leg
islstor that ever ran in that District Parker
wal the father Of one of the leading Jayhawkers
of Northern Kansas, in full sympathy with that
class, and was brought ont for the Legislature
by the Jayhawk element. Yet, for pure spite,
j. p. johnson and those other high-toned Re-
publicans of Highland worked and voted for
this old boor, and sent him to Topeka, as a fit
Representative of their interests. Snch men
are poor specimens to object to Phil. Kelley, as
not having sufficient standing and ability to
represent them; and they ought especially to
sing small about an alder abettor of horse
thieves. If they chose old Parker for their Rep
resentative, they can perhaps survive Mr.. Kelley
as a necessity.

BUTIERIsM.-To show what Republicans de-
feated in Massachusetts, we copy the following
resolutions, adopted ct Bntl-r meeting in Bos-
ton, Few nights before the election. The
meeting consisted of over thousand persons,
and was addressed by Dennis Kearney, in one
of his coarsest and most incendiary speech
es. After the resolutions were adopted, a
number of those present solemnly swore to
execute them, Kesrney administering the oath.
This was what Butler Greeubackism meant in
Massachusetts,. and many Greenbackers in this
County heartily endorsed Butler, and admired
Kearney. This is an element in the Green back
party that will control it, and, thank God, will
kill it. We are sure the American people will
never place the Government in their hands. Here
are the resolutions:
Resolved, That we, the workingmen of Massachu-
setts, representing the great majority Of the people,
determined to protect liberty and the rights of man
though We shall wade knee deep in blood do organ
ize ourselves into army of the people, for mutual
protection and defense.
Resoired, That any manufacturer, capitalist, or
minion Of the money power who attempts to influence
his employees, or those under him, to vote against
Gen. Butler shall be suspended by the neck until be
is dead.
Resolved The hour has come when extreme meas
ures must be resorted and that the majority of
the voters of the State known be in favor of
the election as Governor of the friend of the Deone
Gen. Butler, if our candidate is defeated, we the
workingmen of Boston and of the State of Massachu
setts knowing that he only be defeated by unlaw
full means, shall then unfurl the red flag Of revolu-
ton, kill and destroy the mmions Of capital and free
the people from tyranny, the fathers did in l776.
Resolred That we now organize into police force
to protect the ballotbox and the rights of fellow
men, and that stand ready election day to take
the life of any man-beh he United States Supervisor
or other ofheer-who attempts to debar voters from
exercising the right of suffrage.
Resolrcd, That, as we, the workingmen, are in the
majority, shall install candidate despite the
frauds attempted by our enemies though the streets
with blood and hell itself boil over and for the
support of this declaration, with firm reliance the
protection of Divine Providence, mutually pledge
to each other our lives, fortunes and sacred
honor.

u We are informed that the conspirators at
Highland, mot South Carolina or Mississippi, re-
member,) who were trying to beat Phil. Kelley
finding that Jim Kennedy was doing effective
work for the straight ticket, went to him, threat
ening that if he did not stop working for Kelley,
they would do all in their power to keep people
from trading at his store. To which Kennedy
replied that they might go to h-ll, and that he
intended to work for the Republican ticket un-
til the polls closed. A few such workers in ev-
cry precinct would neutralize all the sore heads
and grumblers that could be raked up. One
such Republican as Jim Kennedy is worth
steamboat load of the kind that will do all the
talking, and take Appointment part in Republican
Conventions, and then conspire and labor to
defeat the ticket.

y The Highland Sentinel curses the ''nig-
gers" generally, and charges that the White
Cloud colored voters were bought by the Re-
publicans, after having had q Greenbsck Club.
The White Cloud colored men have always been
Republicans, .and even Mowry couldn't lead
them astray. But the Sentinel had better go
slow on the buying business, or something might
be divulged about q certain candidate pay
ing White Cloud darkey s. so to work for him
among the colored people, on election day. The
same candidate furnished "sugar" to the editor
of the Sentinel. 1t is hard to tell which of the
two ''niggers" was the best investment.

TROY, KANSAS:

IA BAD TICKET.-We now hear il said that
the Republicans of this County had bad tick
et and one hard to drag through. This might
sound better, if it were not the cry every year.
1t seems that the Republicans always have
poor ticket Snch has been the complaint, for
the past seven or eight years. Three years ago,
the Republicans had good ticket as was
ever nominated in the County, and yet it was
abused worse than has ever been known. The
candidates were charged with everything mean,
from hog stealing on up. Two years ago, the
same cry arose. A year ago, there was good
ticket bnt some of the candidates had to take
an extra amount of abuse. Therefore, when the
tune was set up this Fall, it was set down to
the old score. The fact is, few men in the
party are determined, when they or their friends
cannot have fat take, that they will do their
utmost to defeat the ticket; and, with 700 ma
jority in the Comfy, it is not uncommon to have
o.e or more of the Republican candidates de-
feated. Another element consists of few
church members who seem determined to es-
tablish the same test of fitness in politics that
they do in the church-that is, they require
man to be religious, or he is not worthy of their
support. No party could stand under such
system, for religion and politics will not work
together. The main fight of this character, this
Fall, was made against d. W. Brown. 1t is a
fixed fact in politics, that men belonging to
party cannot work against part of their ticket
without ipjuring the whole of it, aud the great
est loss falls upon candidates for closely contest
ed Offices. We have no doubt that the fght
against Mr.. Brown was the immediate cause of
the defeat of Mr.. Rappelye, the only church
member and practical Christian on the ticket.
We hope it afforded those over-nice gentlemen
much satisfaction in beating good msu in or
der to defeat one who did not fill their idea of
proper candidate.

u Now that the results of the elections are
known, it is found that the Greenback vote, in-
stead Of hurting the Republicans, as everybody
supposed il wonld, has actually done the great
est damage to the Democratic party. While
the Republicans firmly stood their ground, the
Democrats made love to the Greenbackers, sought
combinations with them, and protested that
they were as good Greenbackers as any of them,
until they demorslized their own party, and
sent thousands of their voters into the Green
back ranks. 1t would have been much better
for them to have been defeated in o straight
party 6ght for then they would have preserved
their organization and discipline, instead of be.
ing demoralized and scattered, as at present

II This is the way the Bulletin insults not

only consolation have to offer the people is that

soners and will continne to attend to the business of

Y The vote of Douiphan County, at the re-
cent election, was almost $500. This is the
highest it has ever been, except at the election
Of 1871. There are fully 5000 voters in the
County, on full vote. Over fifty voters in this
Township did not come to the polls, nearly all
of whom were Republicans, and, from the best
information We can obtain, the proportion was
about the same in other Townships. With
full vote, the Republican majority in this Coun-
ty would be but little short of 1000.
