7 Inc Times on Gen. 8abcock,s Letter.
Lawrence Tribune,

We copy elsewhere the editori a
comments of the Leavenworth TINES on the
letter Of Gen. Babcock. The question is OF
such vital interest TO our people that it will
not grow stale. however much We may talk
about it, and the fact that the editorial con.
tains extracts. will not detract from the in
terest with which It will be read. Our citi-
zens who read the letter, will remember
that the General touches up Governor An
thony on the L., l.. d G. bridge m after, and
shows what fraud the whole transaction
is, and how much demagougezy is contain
cd in the dispatch through the Associated
Press, announcing "Great Victory for the
People :" which dispatch was sent at the
suggestion Of Governor Anthony, and I'm
der a Misrepresentation of the fact in the
case, and as to the true state of affairs.
Attention is called to another point in
the letter particularly by THE TIMES, and
that is the necessity OF such legislation as
will compel the Governor 10 execute in fact,
the laws found on the statute books of
Kansas. The remedy We have before sug-
gested, nay, urged; an election to the State
legislature OF such men as will compel
