ANOTHER PURIFIER.

Ben. II. Fisher, Of this city, who politi-
caily is generally found hanging to the skirts
of the Democratic party, but who particu'
larry plumes himself on being great re-
former aud purifier, approached that honest
old one-legged soldier, Hank Heizermann,
last week, with proposition that If be
would withdraw from the Republican ticket,
that he should have next fall anything with.
in the gift of the people Of Sedgwick county,
to which be would pledge the entire mongrel
force.
And this is the trading old sinner who
goes about the county talking purity as he
attempts to barter away the franchise of an
entire county.

ANOTHER ONE NAILED.

1t was industriously circulated in the up
per end of the county that Hank Heisermar
had sold piece OF land and that, because an
other party came along and offered him $40.
more. he had violated his contract with the
first buyer. The following certificate sent u.
last evening settles that little story:

THAT RAILROAD STOCK SALE.

To the Editor Of the Eagle:
1t seems that Jocelyn and White, in order
to attract attention from their own misdeeds,
and the exceeding thinpess Of their cam
paign before the people, are pitching into
several men of the county, among them some
of our best and most trusted citizens. Be-
cause have announced for years thar did
not believe Jocelyn, White & Co were honest
men, they attempt to cast shadow on my
Official record as County Commissioner. l
did write Smcdley Darlington, Donnell.
Lawson & Co., who held our bonds, that I
did not believe our people would repudiate
them. believed then they were honest, and
do so now, believed then, and do now,
that counties or municipalities cannot afford
to violate voluntary obligation, no more
than can an individual. The men who do so,
or who advise such reputation, are the kind
of men who would forge another's name for
= money consideration, or would sell his
every day indebtedness for thirty cents on
the dollar. sent the telegram, or some
thing like ii, to 2. Darlington, ip answer to
one from him, stating that he could sell SIS. /:
900 at ninety.fye cents. Surprising he meant
our stock, accepted, and told several per.
sons that we could get ninety-five cents for
our railroad stock.
Joceiyn and White came to me when was
chairman OF the county board, and wanted
me to refuse to make subscription to the
stock of the road, in order that they
might compel the St. l.. Il s. f. railway
company to give them contract OF forty
miles at high price, or If not, as they said,
'ssomcthing else.v In word. they wanted
to use me that they might biackmail that
road out Of money. These are facts. They
got their strikers to try to influence me. They
won't deny it. Men who would try to pros
titute others for such base purposes, would
not, were they in office, hesitate to do any
deed. Since my refusal to do their dirty
work they have been mad-are sore yet. l
have taken pleasure in baking many Of their
schemes, the last of which Is to get hold
of the county funds. l am certain they
will fail in this. Since the collections Of
bounties for soldiers has ceased to be remu-
nerative, Jocelyn has been out of job.
Since Uncle Woody cannot get five per cent.
per month for money, he is dissatisfied, and
"Greasy Bill,' having lost his job as compa-
ny cook, still sticks to his BEACON.

BEAR Us WITNESS.

Every unprejudiced reader of the EAGLE
win bcsr ,,s ont in the assertion that the I'M
scemly and personal campaign in which the
Republican party of the county finds itself
involved. was none of the EAGLES making
or seeking. But on the contrary, when the
upboly alliance was entered into 10 foist up
on the people turn coat sore head, and
which alliance more greatly distracted the
Democratic organization than ii did the Re-
publieans, the EAGLE simply deplored the
fact, and in distinctly announcing Its deter
mination to head the fight on purely party
grounds and party principles, went SO Tar as
10 speak kindly OF the men whose craze Tor
Office and for power had caused them TO lose
sight Of all principle and to ignore all party
obligations. We thought, We felt convinced,
that the good sense of the people and the
sound discretion of individual Republicans
would bring truth out of chaos, victory out
OF confusion, and in the end administer such
a rebuke to the men who had set themselves
mn as being above both party and people, as
would prove to them lifelong lesson

were all known as capable, and we felt that
no invention however shrewd, no lie howev-
er plausible. could disturb the confidence OF
the people in these men whom the party had
chosen as its standard bearers. In spite OF
the venom spit all over the private and on
cial characters of these men through the
mongrel organ and from every rostrum in the
county, week after week, we waited, hoping
that returning reason and sense OF decency
would spare-us the necessity OF replying in
kind. Not until our last issue did we eonde-
scend TO administer to that crowd dose oil
its own medicine. The result is known 10
all Although hundreds OF old lifelong Re-
publicans were demanding an offensive war,
demanding that this graceless spoils combi-
nation should be shown up in its true colors,
we would have gladly foregone the job could
we have done so without injustice to the
families and characters of the men who were
90 Wiley traduced. IL mine had been ex-
pioded beneath them, or combined earth
quake and tornado had struck them, their
CONSERVATION could not have boon greater.
For the first time they saw themselves as 9TH

dustriously employed themselves in Matching
excuses and in vainly trying to explain such
Jobs, schemes, sell-outs, as might otherwise
have forever remained hidden in their own
hearts.

woODcoCK'S LETTER.

The attention of fair-minded men is direct
ed 10 a short communication elsewhere from
the pen of Mr.. Woodcock. the nominee OF
the Republican party, in which he thorough
ly disposes of all the charges affecting his
manhood or affecting his official acts In the
past. That he should grow indignant in
hurting back into the teeth Of their origina-
tors the vile calumnies set afoat against him
would naturally be expected. tits Won
der that he has kcpthis temper so even under
such upjustifiabie and sinister attacks.

"BRocKEY JACK"

The anonymous communication contain
ing some irresponsible charges, and asking
who killed 'Brockey jack" is declined
with no thanks TO the author. The EAGLE
may prove little severe when the campaign
humor is on, but 1t will never become the
vehicle of rumors that are dainnable and I'M
true. The editor of the EAGLE never heard
of such a man as "Broekey jack" nor is
there the faintest foundation for the Nor

DEPOT.

DEBUT.
s. E. Jocelyn, in the Beacon extra, writes
thus:
sRelative to the depot business, 4 gentle
man living in another county gave me au-
thority to make proposition to secure the
location upon his lands. When Hobart came
told him il they decided to locate north of
town was authorized to make propositions.
Further than that indefinite statement new
er said u word, that Iaow remember, to infiu-
ence the location Of the Depot
In such u case a defective memory is most
convenient, although shut iaow remember
is, even with such memory, a somewhat re-
| markablc expression and indicates memory
that forgets at will. Itispossible that 1 may
be able to .eiresh this memory trife. Let
us see: Under date June Ii, 1879, S. E. Joce-
Ign, or rather Cole JoceIyn. wrote to me as
follows: SIN regard to the
matter of the Mining and Manufacturing
Company how did that turn out? If all right
have something for the (Manufacturing and
Mining company in connection ,eitA the loco
tion Of tie depot here. l want to see you about
this latter matter as soon rs possible.
Yours truly,
(Signed) ST.. JocELYN.
He did see me SOON about this matter, say
on or about the 18th OF June, at my room in
the Occidental. and did then and there I'M
fold his scheme and inform me that he had,
by power OF attorney which he prided him
self greatly in having secured, obtained con-
troll of the Llewellyn land and proposed that
if would procure him an interest in the
Mining and Manufacturing Company, and
use my efforts to secure the depot on the
Llewellyn tract he would give me. and SUCH
| PARTIES AS IT MIGHT BE NECESSARY TO
USE IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THE LOCA-
TIoN, an interest in the depot matter, and
divide with me the money tribute which he
proposed to levy upon the citizens of the
north part Of Wichita, assuring me that he
had sounded several parties in relation there
| to and that there would be no difficulty in
making this tribute from six to eight, and
possibly ten, thousand dollars.
Having from the first inception of this rail-
road business resolved to have neither part
nor lot in the location OF any depot lin Sedg-
wick county, east of the Arkansas, de-
c,ined to entertain the 1attering offer, and
told the Cole it would result in strife right
here in our own town, and advised him to
drop the whole scheme.
Moreover we had no possible use for man
in the NJ. e VI. Co. who was as impracticahle
aud factious as the Co(0 had already proved
himself to be. This is hurriedly written to
help Jocelyn explain his letter.

Col(?) 5. f. Jocelyn did offer to sell cut the
county. The man from Oswego has repeat
edly said he could buy Jocelyn at any time,
naming the price, but adding:
damn the miserable red-headed GUS, he
is not worth the money"
And he was doubtless quite correct in ar
irving at the conclusion that Sellers E. Joee-
Ign, with his Office OF county commissioner
thrown in to give him some value, would be
an extremely hard bargain at $1,000. know
Jocelyn was ready to sell, the only trouble
was to find the buyer. He made many and
energetic, might say frantic, efforts in that
DIRECTION. c. WOOD DAVIS.
JoCELYN POSING AS 4 GREAT ECONOMIST.
Yes, Jocelyn did, as he says In the Hedeon
extra, in his letter of March 10th, urge econ
omy, and allow inc to say that he practised it
as well, so very efectually In fact. that while
he had money in his hands, placed there by
the county board expressly to defray my cx-
penses in working up second railway for
Sedgwick county, he left me entirely with
out funds to wage sharp contest with the
L., L. & G. r. r. Co. for the possession Of
the Elk Valley, and even when wrote him
that had already borrowed between one
and two hundred dollars to carry on the cam
paign, he authorized me to draw only for a
pitiable $50 with which to pay this loan and
carry on the fight against the many men and
unlimited means of the l.. l.. &G. This con-
test, which eventually resulted In the build
ing of second railroad to Wichita, was
waged wholly In the interests of Sedgwick
county, and had not supplemented Joce-
lyn's economy by spending my own money
like waters at that time, haow the railroad
would never have come TO Wichita This
was economy with a vengeance. He was
saving the county's money in the same way
(probably) that he saved Bium's and Hard
er's. That is be was, in each case, afraid il
might get squsndered II it left his hands.
Another instance OF S. L. Jocelyn's intense
economy was when Whiie-Captain W hite
bsliese-zithese men all rank mel aud the
brave and gallant Colonel went over into the
State of Butler and spent nearly week IN
that region inyeigling the citizens OF that
county into voting bonds to what they since
denominatc fraud (which bonds.b the way,
have been honestly issued without any grad
ing contracts or depot locating jobsl and
when the SCARED and battered warriors re-
treated from Butler county, their economy
was so overpowering that they forgot to pay
their board bill at the National Hotel, Au.
gnsta, amounting to S2s. In this instance,
they were so successful in their economy that,
in order to protect the fair fame Of Sedgwick
county paid the amount and still have the
bill in my possession.
Another opportunity is here offered for the
and the Captain, and all the other
braves to rise aud explain.
