Good Nan.

Why are the other candidates for
Congress bowling against Robinson ?
They know he will makes fine Con-
gresham and will succeed himself.
They think the others win be poor
and easily beaten in two years.
This Is the best Of reasons why we
should send Robinson If We are
looking for good men. Even the

A BOLD, BAD.LIE ON BOB WHITE.
He Could Net Express His Feelings
BY Telegraph.

The following, from a Chicago pa
per, is, in the main, q base fabrica-
ton. We had no idea of swearing at
the time, for no cuss words have yet
been invented to express our feelings:
About 4 o'clock last evening Bob
White, of Missouri, a red-hot Cleye-
land man and editor of the Mexico
LEDGER, came earring into the Palmer
House, out of breath and almost out
of words. he rushed up to the
Western Union telegraph Office and
yelled:
"Can I express my feelings by tel
egrapha"
The operator asked:
"Do you mean that you want to
swear over the wiresi"
"That's just what Imean! I want
to paint the wires red for q few mo.
ments."
Gam very sorry, but we are out OF
paint and have no letters in the Morse
alphabet for words not taught in
Sunday school; but you might send
a cipher dispatch"
White mopped his brow off and, in
a gangling hand, with blood in his
eye, wrote the following telegram,
which we presume went all right:
Special Dispatch to the Ledger.

G. A. r. Enca,npment.

The first annual encampment of the
q. A. r. of Dakota, which took place at
Sioux Falls last week, was grand sue
cess in every particular. The report of
of Adjutant General Potter shows six
ty-two posts, numbering 1900 mem
bers Quite spirited discussion took
place over the Fitz John Porter case;
and in it's report of the proceedings, the
Sioux Falls Press has the following to
say in regard to the delegate from the
Hurley post:
I. b. Buchanan opposed the substi-
tute in one of the most striking and
unique speeches ever listened to in a
similar gathering-one which almost
set the audience wild with admiration
for the SCARED veteran who so simply
and feelingly expressed the sentiments
of his innermost heart. Said he: 1--WE
have had here so much from generals
and colonels and captains-now let
humble private have his say. For four
years was at the beck and nod of such
as these; but thank God for this order,
for it enables such as to stand now as
their equals. For three months have
been looking forward to this encamp-
ment, and no man can know the pride
with which / stand here among my
comrades. While am only an adopted
citizen, feel that America is as much
NINE as it is his who was born within
her borders. earned this feeling by
| fighting In seventeen of her hardest
fought battles, and stand here, u
years of age, to condemn the traitor
who made one of her battle-fields u
great graveyard for thousands of poor
pIivates who fell the victims of his
treachery and jealousy. Is it expected
of me that shall go home to the sons
and daughters whom | have educated
to love patriotism and detest treason,
add tell them that / voted to place
FitZ-Jo John Porter before the nation as
true man and rs loyal patriot as
they believe me to be? Forbid it.,
Almighty God! We are raising new
generation, and let us teach them that
treason is dishonorable, and that honor
able men will not countenance that
which seeks to make it seem otherwise.
| Let US adopt the resolution as it came
from the committee, and thus in no un-
certain terms denounce the traitor
whose treachery made thousands of
firesides desolate, and whose punish
ment should be increased hundred-fold
rather than mltigated one jot or title
by a congress large part of whose
membership has not always been above
reproach in the matter of loyalty"
