KICK EN- OuT.-We have heretofore been la
boring nn'ler the delusion that it was the policy
OF political parties to gain as many accessories
from the ranks of their opponents as possible,
and that a pledge to vote the ticket of a party,
gave man right to vote for the nomination of
candidates of that party. 1t seems we were mis-
taken A man who was long ago committed to
the support of Hayes and Wheeler, was objected
to as delegate in Republican Convention, be-
cause at one time he was considered rather DEM
ocratic In his views. A delegate in Republican
convention was soundly abused because he had
voted for Greeley. And yet it seems to make all
the difference in the world what candidates these
former Democrats favor. At the same election
at which the former Democrat was objected to as
delegate, the most rabid Democrats were al
lowed to vote, without ever promising to sup
port the Republican Presidential nominee; and
in the Convention where the Greeley man was
abssed, were delegates elected by the lowest
class of Democratic saloon bummers. We are in
favor Of taking measures to keep these Demo-
Gratis in their places. This is a fruitful season
for rotten eggs. We propose campaign fund
for buying rotten eggs, (no reference to Nemaha
County delegates,) and whenever a man who
was once known suspected to have voted
Democratic ticket, comes around and says he pro-
poses hereafter to vote the Republican ticket let
every Republican grab handful of those rotten
eggs, and pelt him into the wilderness. This is
the only way in which the Republican party can
preserve its integrity.

1t will be seen that is long dash, and a
short one, while M is two short dashes close to-
gether, each dash the length of t. As telegraph
ers receive reports wholly by sound, it will read
lily be seen how, in the hurry, little too long
impression upon the t, or too short upon the !,
might cause one to be taken for the other, or
how two t's run close together might be mstak-
en- for m. 1t requires accurate time and spacing
on the part of the operator, well as practic-
ed ear on the part of the receiver, to telegraph
correctly. The above illustration will explain
many curious blunders found in the telegraphic
reports. The only wonder is that they are so
few. The operator must sit for hours, keeping
his fingers in rapid motion all the time, while
the receiver must listen, remember, and write
down, as fast as the other produces the sounds
for the receiver knows from the click of the
instrument, just what characters the other is
making-whether dashes or dots, how arranged,
and what space between them all.

Il subscriber at Dunkirk, n. Y, renewing
his subscription, says he can't get along without
the Chief, at least until Hayes and Wheeler are
elected. He says the people of that section do
not propose to let the handling of this Govern
ment go back to the party that tried their best
to destroy it, and that if we cannot put down the
traitors in Kansas, they will lend us hand from
old York State. We had thought that Kansas
was one of the most certain States for Hayes and
Wheeler, but are glad to know that the New
Workers are so confident of carrying their State,
that they are willing to help their neighbors.
We think there is not the least doubt about Ell
ther State going Republican.

70 Why was it that the Hubbard managers
at Hiawatha, the night before the meeting OF
the Convention, telegraphed all over Doniphan
County for individuals to come up To lobby, and
represent that large portion of the people OF
the County were opposed to Perry. As far as
the influence of the crowd sent for was concern
ed, they might as well have taken so many tai
low candles for railroad spikes. But it is a sig
nificant fact, that every man so drummed up
was supporter of Guthrie. We know of but
four Guthrie men from this County who went to
Hiawatha to work for Perry, and one of them
was delegate, elected to vote for Perry. When
Mr. Guthrie and his friends complain of his treat
ment in this County, it would be well enough
for them to explain the above circumstance.

S After John L. Blair's high toned perform
ance at Hiawatha, last week, he remarked that he
had got even with the people of Doniphan Coun-

now had a chance to pay it. He referred to two
years ago, when the Republicans of this County
nominated him for State Senator, and tried their
best to elect him, but it being a perverse year
ne was defeated with the balance of the ticket.
he took the first occasion to betray the people of
the County, by way of revenge. But such tricks
keep remarkably well, and he will find it gig
back ON him sometime when it will be uncom.
Portable for him. 1t has been said that the in
stincts of the masses are generally correct. They
certainly were, two years ago, when they voted
him first-class fraud, by over 500 majority.

'HARMoNY."-The Atchison Champion begs for
harmony, now that the Judicial Convention is
over aud for all to unite to elect the Republican
nominee. Yes, after getting all they wanted by
bribery and fraud, they ask those whom they
defrauded to harmonize, and help them carry the
outrage through to a successful issue. They will
get enough of "harmony," before they are thro'
with it. We had an opportunity to consult with
men from all parts of the County, Saturday, and
none of them estimated the majority against
Hubbard in Doniphan County at less than 1000.
That is 500 more than we estimated it. 1t will
not win, either, to raise. the cry that this will
elect Democrat. If they find it necessary to
elect Democrat to beat Hubbard, they will do
it with great alacrity. The day is past when a
corrupt i'm beetle could be imposed upon the Re-
publican party in order to prevent the election
of competent Democrat.
