wnYTIx0's sLANDERERs on THE RUN.
Special to Tue LEADER.
ONAwA, Oct. n.-Since the exposure of
tho fraudulent methods Of Del w. Leslie,
Ad. Oliver and Crazy Jim Ainsworth in
manufacturing false evidence against the
loyalty OF Farmer Whiting, the little CO.
terie Of slandcrcrs residing in this section
are completely silenced. They arc
ashamed to look honest men in the face.
Their guilt has found them out, and they
will forever after be spurned from the as
ISOLATION Of decent men. The LEADERS
correspondence was conclusive Of the sound
loyalty Of Judge Whiting and OF the high
esteem in which he is held by his fellow cit
liens who have known him for SO many
years, and his case might safely be rested
with the jury OF the honest voters OF the
state. 1t is not, therefore, for the purpose
Of q further vindication, but simply to
throw little more light on the character
Of the men who have been bought
up At an expense Of q thousand dollars by
those great reformers in Des Moines. Ono
OF the charges made by Del W. Leslie, the
noted agriculturist and crop reporter, pur-
ported to come from Edward Vinegar.
Vinegar rode with Whiting and Victor
Dubois to Fort Dodge, TO report TO the pro-
Vinegar swore that Whiting was very out
spoken against the government and that he
wished Lincoln, Stanton, etc. might all be
killed and that every ID ono Of US
ought to run to Nebraska Victor Dubois
is still living in Woodbury. county, and is a
republican, but hearing of the charge
against his old friend he promptly appeared
and made the following affidavit

pose and say that am resident OF the
county of Monona, Iowa; that am &C
quainted with Chas. Z. Whiting, Of Monona
ever since the fall OF 1863, he being my near
est neighbor during the war. In the year
iSa we were both drafted and went to Fort
Dodge together on the trip referred to by
Edward Vinegar in his affidavit published
in the lOicG State Register Of Sept. q, 1855;
that G. E. Whiting did not at that time, or,
to my knowledge, at any other time make
any dislOyal remarks in relation to the
union or President Lincoln Edward
time, had great deal Of trouble in procur-
ing substitute while at Fort Dodge, and
cried like child and said he was not ply
sically able to 60 to the army. (He had
passed examination.) Mr.. Whiting took
pity ON him and assisted in procuring Z
substitute for him by becoming his security

Whiting this fall, as believe him to be the
best representative Of the people, especially
the farm and lab0ring classes.

LARRABEE.s MORTGAGES.

With 81 counties in Iowa and 81 entire
states in the Union to hear from the re-
publican candidate for governor is the
happy possessor of mortgages to the
value of $3.50. 900 At $40 an acre this
would cover % 900 acres of land. That
is, il would cover u whole township and
three sections in a second township
Larrabec's Dcs Moines orgaA puts in
the laundering plea that these mortgages
are not Larrabec's, hut belong to the
banks in which he owns an interest.
This gives us the desired text on which
to remark that ;nstead Of those being

they were. anything near all that he

SHAMELESS BRIBERY.

The republicans arc in desperate cir.
cumstances. They arc pouring LARA
bees money all over the state, but i is
like pouring water into sieve. They
spent 81, 900 for a slandcrous broadside
against Whiting, and it made him thou
sands of votes They have called to
their aid all the political dcsperadocs OF
the state, and set them to work to trick
and deceive the people.
They have no issues. They dare not
discuss anything. They are afraid OF
their politics and afraid of their own
names. They have waved the bloody
shirt in vain. In vain they made IN
their platform long prayers and long
promises to the people. In their down
ward road to defeat they are growing
more desperate, and their campaign
methods are corrcspondingly more de-
spicable, every day.
It was cold day for them when they
struck Jerry Connolly in their drumming
for purchasablc afiidavits. They wish
they hadn't But if they had succeeded
they would have paraded blind Jerry's
testimony all over the state. and plas-
tered the ground in his district with 1t.
With the smirk of hardened hypocrite
they would have pointed to another in
stance of democratic dcpravity. But
Providence had not that delicious morsel
in store for them.
We said shameless bribery. That
doesn't apply to the present case. This
was only shameless attempt at bribery
The shameless bribery is hiding around in
the dark corners, and this is sort of
Siemcns regenerating gas light thrown
on it. And what rcvelationi Can
such q campaign win in Iowa?

He leaves wife and five children to mourn his

who was ever ready to lend helping hand to
the needy and distressed, and whose doors We're

the opportunities Of ripe old age, vet il was
painful to give him up. but We should
take consolation in the fact that there is meet

hearts Will unite, never no more to be weary by
the parting anguish following as a result OF

in the evening they concluded TO
stretch a net. Jack Jones first at
tempted to carry the net ACROSS. but
failed. Toe Nichols then took it
and swan across. Sidney Jones at
tempted to assist him, but when two
thirds across (Which was in width

Nichols, who. after crossing, was
upon the other baik. started to his
assistance, and upon reaching him
was clasped so firmly by the drown
ing man that they both sank in the
struggle. Nichols never came to the
surface: Jones. however, rose. and
by the time he came to view his bro

unable to rescue him. and came near

Mexico. returned from Lake Valley
to-day where he had been distribute
ing troops IN the campaign against
Geronimo. He goes from here to
Fort Bayard tor the same purpose,
and will return to his headquarters
at Santa Fee. The General stated
that Capt. Smith, with two compan-
les Of the 4th Cavalry, had an en-.
gagement with the Indians about
thirty miles from Alma. IN which
three soldiers and three Indians were
wounded. The Indians retreated
and the cavalry started for Fort Bay
ard with their wounded men. Six
companies of the 10th Cavalry are
expected at Fort Bayard tomorrow.
from which place they will be sent
TO different points to intercept the
Indians, should they try to escape
Mexico. Three companies are in the
vicinity of Lake Valley. and others
are in the vicinity of Back Range.
In all sixteen companies and sixty
scouts are in the field. and it looks as
if Gen. Bradley has the Indian
hemmed IN on all sides. There are.
all told, thlrty-fO warriors and eight
halt-grown bows under Geronimo.
according to a careful count made on
the reservation. and it seems as though
sixteen companies of United States
troops and sixty scouts ought to make
short work Of them. The number
OF women is ninety SIX. They were
in advance of the warriors at the
time of the engagement, but 1t is
thought they will meet and attempt
TO escape INTO Mexico, most prob
ably going through Cooks Canyon
and the Little Florida. 1t is hardly
probable they can reach Cooks

less they do two companies of the
