Republican Opinion of George T
Anthony In 1875.

We take the following from the
proceedings of mass convention of
Republicans of Leavenworth county.
held in the city of Leavenworth on
the evening of October a, 1876, SAID
to be 1.-The largest Republican mass
meeting held in Leavenworth since
the war" The following resolutions
were adopted:
ReSoEred, By the Republicans of
Leavenworth in mass meeting as
sembled:
X y
Believing IN a strict adherence to
our promises of reform within the
party, we regard 1t as the duty of ev-
cry 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 T. Anthony, the
Republican nominee for governor of
| Kansas, to be man who is corrupt,
dishonest, aud 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 and state
within the last two years by the NAL
feasance of a dishonest state treas
urer, is a warning which we should
heed, and we earnestly entreat the
honest voters of Kansas to consider
we'll the consequences before they
place in the governors chair a man
whose moral character is infinitely
worse than ever Lappin's was.
'That a 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 affidavits, 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 are justified in
the course we are pursuing.
''That all Republican papers in
Kansas which believe in reform
within the party, and desire to save
! the state from further disgrace
l through dishonest officials, be re-
: quested to publish these resolutions
The committee appointed in &C
cordance with the above resolutions
prepared and published an address
from which we take the following:
"In accordance with the foregoing
resolutions, we hereby lay before thu
public the accompanying statemen
of facts, establishing everything w
affirm by documentary evidence which
cannot be questioned, and for tn
whole of which we ask the careful
and unimpassioned perusal Of ever.

personally acquainted with Georg

of Kansas, and one whose election
the governorship would be disgrac
! to the state. We believe his nomins

great mistake. We know that th
convention which nominated him WE
u deceived as to the character of til
