GEORGE 7. ANTHONY.
The Republicans Of LeaVenWOrth Pub
lish an Address to the Honest
Republicans.
A CLEAN STAND UP FOR KANSAS.
The Republican Candidate for Congress
man-at.large Shown to be
SWfndler and Brute.

We take the following from the
proceedings of a mass convention OF
republicans of Leavenworth on the
evening of October "a, 1876, said to
be "the largest republican mass meet
ing held in Leavenworth since the
war" The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, By the republicans of
Leavenworth, i'll mass meeting assem-
bled:
believing in a strict adherence to
our promises of reform within the"
party, we regard it as the duty of
every republican to cast his vote
against corrupt and dishonest men
wherever they may be found, and no
matter on which ticket they may be
nominated.
knowing George 7. Anthony, the
republican nominee for governor OF
Kansas, to be man who is corrupt,
dishonest, and unworthy of the conf
dence or support of the people of this
state, we hereby utterly repudiate,
him as our candidate, and appeal to
our fellow republicans in all parts of
Kansas to cast their ballots against
him.
"The disgrace which has been
brought upon our party AMI state
within the last two years by the NAL
feasance of dishonest state treasurer,
is warning which we should heed.
and we earnestly entreat the honest
voters of Kansas to consider well the
consequences before they place in the
| governors chair a man whose moral
| character is infinitely worse than ever
Lappin's was.
"rhat committee of republicans,
appointed by this meeting, be in
structed to prepare an address to the
voters of Kansas, setting forth in full
the reasons why we believe this man
should not be elected governor OF the
state, and that the affidavts, records,
and other proofs of his dishonest and
corrupt practices be embodied in the
same, in order that the public may see
and know that we arc justified in the
course we are pursuing
'Thot all republican papers IN Kan
sas which believe in reform within the
party, and desire to save the state
from further disgrace through dishOn-
est officials, be requested to publish
these resolutions"
The committee appointed in accor-
dance with the above resolutions pre-
pared and published an address, from
which we take the following;
I'm accordance with the foregoing
resolutions. we hereby lay before the
public the accompanying statement of
facts, establishing everything we
affirm by documentary evidence which
cannot be questioned, and for the
whole of which we ask the careful and
unimpassloned perusal Of every re-
publican voter in Kansas. We are
personally acquainted with George I,
Anthony. We know his record as q
citizen and soldier. We know hin
to be a bad man, unworthy of conf
dehce and support of the people Of
Kansas, and one whose election TO The
governorship would be disgrace t,
the state. We believe his nomination
by the republican party was grea
mistake. We know that the conven
ton which nominated him was de-
ceived as to the character of the man
and we know that nearly all thos,
who are supporting him are deceived
But we have confidence in the republi
can party of Kansas. We believe tina
the love of honesty and purity is stroni
enough in the hearts of the republican
. masses of this state to prevent then
from supporting dishonest man
when the proof of his dishonesty i
shown. Therefore we submit the fol
lowing facts, not in passion, not in tn
heat of excitement, not prompted b
personal malice, but cody, dispassi
onately, and in the interest of the re
publican party and its immortal prir
ciples, to which we stand unswery
ingly attached; and we appeal to GU
brother republicans throughout tn
state. in the name of the grand Of
party which rescued and preserve
the country, and in the name of a
the glorious memories which cluste
- around it. to read carefully the fac
which are herewith presented, and
be not deceived into casting the
| votes for man whose election woul
|, be one of the saddest aalamities tn;
could befall the party. Rememb'
, that defeat with honesty and purity
~ grand victory as compared wit
success with dishonesty and corrup
- ion. Remember the humiliation tht
we have suffered in the past throug
the conduct of corrupt officers, al
I'D elect no more doubtful men.
I'VE prefer the following list
grave charges against George T. A
m. thony, and for proofs sustaining eac
n ~ particular charge we refer to accor
n. panying documents.
