Judge r, W. p. Muse is a candidate on the re
,ubliean ticket for Presidential Eleetor, and Is
also a bolting candidate for State Senator from
his district On the latter account, demand
has ,,een made that the State Central Committee
Withdraw his name from the Electoral ticket, and
mt another in his place. Ii is question wheth-
ar his runnins against Bent. Murdoek is suffi-
eient evidence of his disloyalty 10 the party But
there is a matter Of much more serious moment
Tn which we wish to call his attention. Judge
Muse is editor of the Newton RepHbiiodS. Ihe
Democratic papers publishing an article pur-
porting TO be taken from that paper, expressing
sentiments that should debar any man from hold
ing a place ON a Republican Electoral ticket. We
Doubt whether it appeared in the RePHbiicdh, for
il does not sound as if il came from Republl-
can: anil we are well aware that forgery and
living art the strong holds of the Democracy, in
this campaign. Therefore, we shall not believe
that il came from the Rcpabioan, until the editor
acknowledges it, or the paper containing 1t Is
shown u.s. We here copy the article, with head.
ing and credit, as il appeared in the Lawrence
Standard, and as We cut il from the Kansas City
Times. We call Judge Muse attention to il, and
shall look for his reply.
