Sundays Kansas City Times has letter from
Troy, evidently written by canvasser for
book which the people Of Kansas have the rare
opportunity of subscribing for at the remarka-
bly, trifiing price of s25, in order 10 read their
own Biographies, written by themselves. This
cauvasser made his head quarters at the Bsllctia
Office. That fact is self.evident, by the token
that the letter is chiefly devoted to indulging
the mania Of the Bulletin editor for concocting
tickets, and carrying elections in aalvace of
counting the votes. What we want to call at
tention to, is the cool manner in which the De-
mocracy calculate the Greenback party as their
meat. We have been warning Republicans who
arc allowing themselves to be fooled into the
Greenback movement, that it is only machine
to use them to help elect the Democratic ticket.
The Democrats never speak of the Greenback
movement, except as an element to elect Demo-
cratic candidates. One of the headings of this
letter is, "Greenbackers' Bully Balletin." Here
is what the Greenbackers are to do on State
ticket:


The Democrats Greenbaekers and their new allies
from the dissatisfied Republicans, are favorable to
either John Martin or Charley Blair as their cand
date in the comm gubernatoral contest and either
one will undoub tedly carry the County by small
majority.


Here is the work that is laid ont for the
Greenbackers:


The Greenback element in the County is composed
of both Democrats and Republicans, but will endeav-
to attain their ends by cooperating with the regu
lar Democratic party.


How do you like that, Greenback Republicans
to be turned over by the renegade editor of
the Troy Bulletin and the correspondent of the
Rebel Kansas City Times rs ballast for the Dem
ocratic partyi Mowry will lead off the colored
men, and DIR. Hopkins will receive them into
the Greenback party, and use them to elect the
Democratic ticket. Let Greenback Republicans
"chaw" that, for while.


Here is something else that this as,ute cor
respondent asserts:


The Republican slate for the County is rather roub
lesome to the leaders of the faithful, who somehow do
not sweetly accord with the brethren masse. The
managers of the wires favor John A. Martini but the
people shout for Anthony for Governor


reward is offered for the man who ever
heard person in Doniphan County shout for
Anthony.


And finally, he tells of Republican whom he
found, who is in terribly bad way:


One of the most prominent men of the Republican
party IN Troy said to me yesterday: II have been
Republican, and was one of the signers of the first
call for the party's organization in Doniphan but,





say what my politics are" So it goes-he's only
of many.


If there is such Republican in Doniphan
County as is above spoken of, we advise him to
enter into full fellowship with the Democratic
party, at once. That is the road he is on, and
the sooner he gets into the fold, the soonsr will
his pure but perturbed soul find rest.


In conclusion, we wish to remark, that the
Republican party will do better in Doniphan
County, this Fall, than for some years past.
The emigration has been decidedly in favor of
the party Greenback Republicans are fast get
ting their eyes open, aud all of them will vote
the Republican ticket, as usual, except few
who have been sore for the past five or six years.
and certain mischefmakers, like Bridges and
Mowry, who have heretofore pretended to be
Republicans, only to promote discord, by which
the party was damaged, have hoisted their true
colors, and can no longer deceive anybody. By
leaving the party, they have lost their power
for mischief and will be worth three hundred
votes added to the Republican majority.
