It will be observed that these
charges are not ours. They are not
made by the Peoples party. We
know nothing personally as to their
truth or falsehood, except as we can
Judge from the documentary evi-
dence submitted. The resolutions
were adopted by great mass meet
ing of republicans of Leavenworth
county, and the charges were formu-
lated, and the evidence to sustain
them given to the public by a COM
mittee appointed by that assemblsge
of republicans for the purpose. The
several documents submitted, to
which reference is made above, are
now in our possession, consisting oi
affidsvits and official court records
They are quite lengthy, but they will
be published if the truth of the
charges is called in question.
It will be observed that the repub'
licans who make these charges assert
that they personally know George T
Anthony, and know him to be a bad
man; that they know his record as 6
citizen and soldier, and they sub
NIT this address for the purpose o.
inducing honest republicans to decline
to vote for him for a responsible
official position. With such man or
the ticket to-day we are told that il
/ is clean ticket, and the voters of the
state are asked to "stsnd up fol
Kansas" by sustaining it at the polls
