years ago. We were present at Bates
City and Odessa and heard Mr.
Lesueur in two speeches say, that
while he was not personally friendly
with Mr.. Graves that personal likes or
dislikes should have no bearing in a po-
litical contest; that Warner was a Re-
publican and Graves democrat, and
that should determine the vote OF all
Democrats. The Times can not charge
the defeat of MIR. Graves to Lesueur or
Lafayette county. 1t was the bogus
democrats of Kansas City who did the
work then, and the same class of dem
ocrats in Kansas City defeated Philips

Lexington Correspondence of Odessa
Democrat :-"Many of your readers have
doubtless seen the attack in the Kan

m~alignity the attack would be simply
laughable. Everyone here knows how
answering Capt. Lesueur is in his de.
votion to Democratic principles and to
the party, and knows that the charge
that be failed to support the Hon. Alex
Graves for congress in 1884 and contrib
uted to the defeat of Judge Philips in
the last election is g%roundless. The
writer was a Jealous and active sup
porter of Mr.. Graves in 1884 and knows
that after he was nominated the Intelli.
gencer gave him a warm support and
that Capt. Lesueur individually engaged
in the canvass in his behalf. The stale.
msnt that he failed to support Philips
may in Christian charity and forbear-
snce be called by the mild term of mis-.
take. What a pitiablc position the
editor Of the Times occupies when he
Is forced to resort to such groundless
attacks upon others to hide his OWL
faithlessness and treachery to the part,
to which he processes to belong. Capt
