''The move to defeat Judge BaeEy
fer q second term met With sta bb0rn
aisaPprOFal from the very start, and
when Ar. Leland found that the at
tempt TO hoist Hr. Stuart uPG2 the
party was calling d0WR such = PRO
ROunCed protest from the people that
it became necessary for him to tele-
graph home from Washington to his
friends te help pull Stuart through
and then had to follow home post
haste and make the fght Of his Hfs
to carry his and StuaFt's home town,
Troy, he should have, as q good Re-
publican, interested in the welfare Of
his party, abandoned the move and
allowed the people to have their
way. But this was not done; men
were whipped into HHs; some by
threats, some by promises and some
BY pleading as occasion demanded.
For years the Republican, OF
DOniphan county have been 8 I0ag
suffering people, who have bern thsiP
mistreatmeRt with f0Ftitude, aud
sti1 have walked up to the polls,
and helped, by their ballots, to swell
the glorious Republican maiSrf5T.
Their love Of party and faithfulRess to
IL have been imposed UP0R ell these
years, and any man who has had
the nerve to raise his TOisO in OpPoSi-
ton to the wishes Of Alp. Leland has
been Immediately marked fer EiREgh-
ter He has been hammered, kieABG,
suited and abused until he gave ID
and begged for the privilege q EGlL-
ing Leland's boots. There are q
good many ct these fellows when We
think Leland should be eoBgTatala,-
ted Tor kicking out, but he sho4ia be
equally condemned for rseOiVfag them
back and setting them uP en- high
plane in the party. The mstk0Ss
which have been employed IN 6s
county to fOist candidates apGa 6Ae
people whom they did ROt want, and
she bold manner in which namerOHs
county offices were traded 81 in
the last county convention, together
with the obnoxious bargaining aWRy
0f officers one, two and three years
hence a. 3 means q pulling Mr..
Stuart through, has dfsgusted hUa-
1reds Of Old-time Republicans Eel
owing this the unsatisfactory uRa-
aer in which the judicial nomination
was secured by Mr.. Stuart further
ncensed the people Of this county,
and particularly Of the judicial dis
5rict.
This disgracefuI termination uBon
top Of the previously created disesrd
las placed the Reps blieaa party IN q
peFilOHs condition in the judicial
ace, and insure the ever WhelmaiRg
1efeat Of Stuart. The Republicans o.
Nemaha and Brown counties are dis
gusted and mad, and IN DORiPhan
county they are sick and discouraged.
