At our lute convention, republicans wx re profuse with their advice. lhey even canie on too the fleer of the convention, urging delegates as to their duy.

They did not waut Wood nominal ed for representative, or Myser for t-uj erintendent. The ctuventiou disre-jjatded their adtice. Mow, wheu green-haikers waDt the advice of republicans i he) will be likely to ask lor r. Id tha mem time, republicans might lock a little after their own Doolittle differs with the Supreme Court on the constitutionality of the greenback but then Doolittle is not the Supreme Court. 's When W.

A. Morgan cume to Chase couDty, S. N. Wood let him have a team wagon and harness to trade for a house, and let him pay it in advertising. Now the skunk who edits that paper is paying him for it.

What claim has J. S. Doolittle on the Republican voters of Chase county? 'lhey paid him 4,000 for four years work, and he had the use of $20,000 of Chae county money, and bolted the Republican party called it corrupt and rotten to the core in his effoita to keep the county money in his family.

COL. 8. M. WOOD. i Candidate for the JLej-of the oldest citizens of -i i.

ul, fact, he is almost father i io ci-unty Was one of the first iii ui of Commissioners, haa beea coui.iy attorney, senator and member of tin; house, and iu every position, he haa bicu true to the county. Aa commia sioui wheu the couuty waa first or-gai iu, he gave his services, and kept tl county out of debt. As eountj ho convicted almost every man evir prosecuted and, reduced taxes. in the legislature, he worked for ic.ii omy, aud cut down expenses. Len au attempt waa made to tax tha pooi homesteaders' improvements, Col.

A ood stepped in, and enjoined the col-It cimu of thti tax, took it to the Supreme Court, and got a decission in fa vor of the homesteaders, and never asked a dollar for his services. hen the Commissioners levied aa illegal tax, he fought and beat it in the courts. hen Chase county waa visited with the urouth and grasshoppers, everything Sam. Wood had was free to the poor. He is, aud always has been, the poor man's frieud.

What he has given to the poor would make some men poor. Iu faut, in his generosity to others, he has made himself poor. In legislation he has always sunk the lawyer for the man, aud has legislated for the people, and has opposed all class legislation. 2 he 1 aimers could have no better representative, for with his abilities as lawyer and legislator, he is a i'oiuiati in legislation, aiways taking lead in whatever interest the fatmers and the laboring people. 'Jli is wintei, other counties are sending thiir lust mtii to the legislature.

county must have a man that cuii stand uji and cope with the best. J. Uoulittle is ihe opposite to Sam. Wood, il is ol jeel is, and has been, togi-tiich. He is, to-day, one of thi riiht-M men iu I hum; county.

For lour tars he was county treasurvr and the county aid him tor his services, with all he could muke oil of the use of county money thiowu in. IJie county ones liim nothing. He has had no experience iu legislation. lie would be lost and never hiaid oi there. 'J he eo-I'le of base county owe him nothing, '1 lie Re piuhlieau paity owe him nothiig.

Win he had hold of the people's teat, Iih sutkad and suckid, ana thin intriguid to get his owu at the same hat, (hut he might still suck this public teat. Such me the tuoinen fioin whom the people must choose their representative in November. J. S. Doolittle was nominated be-au8e it was supposed that he could urry Greenback and Democratic votes iut Doolittle is cheek by joul with the Imid money Republicans and cannot gt single Greenback vote in the county, doubt if he can git any Demo- rats either.

The Rip ublicans would iiave leen id better shuj.e il they hud nominated a man that cuuld hiive cat-ued the Republican vote. If "Win. Jeffrey and fan Wood weie tut of the Greenback party it might amount to smithing." i-aid a heading Republican W. A. to a gte enbscker, a few dajs ago, but lhey will kill it." That kii.d it talk shows wl at it is that is hurting them.

The ii enbsckers will Dot be likely to go ack on Jeffrey or tod uuder such adviee. A CAltD. To The Peoi'LE op County: When the Chase County LEAinat says Sam. Wood put in circulatiou thr. story that J.

S. Doolittle was a dvjault. er, and had borrowed $10,000 to make up the dificiency, the Chase Couuty Leader simply tells a lia. When asked, S. N.

Wood said he did not know anything about it. Now the Chase Couuty Leader asserts that S. N. Wood sold out his clients to the tailroad company, or Buy-body else, he tells an infamous falsehood. hen the l.tader mjs N.

Wood advised J. 1. 1 latt lo compromise with the tailroad con pauy, he lies. Secretary 1 elano decided against I'xatt. S.

N. Wood paid out of hi own jocket J25 lo attorneys in Wash, ingtou. If any neglect, it was in ashingtoD, and not here. S. N.

Wood spent $50 in trying to save the Gunnon land, and never chargtd l'ratt or Gannon a dollar. When the Chase Ci unty Leader says thut S. N. Wood sold out Pat. Staple-ton iu a law suit, he tells a blacker lie than Ananias in his palmy days.

hen the Chase County Leader says that S. N. oid defrauded soldiers wl money enti usled to him to take to the rear, he tellB a blaekhtaded lie. ben he sas that S- N. Wood resigned his commission iu the aimy avo a uit maitial, he tells a cowardly ci ppei ht ad lie.

Morgan, iu Chase county, 'lie lender published au affidavit from the tieasuier of that school district, four jenis ago. showing that he had leeched ivtiy dollar of the money. the Leader, in lesoriing to such a low, dirty, cowardly couise to injure an op i ent that he cannot, and dare nut neet in open debate, added to his lies aliut Lloer ilitchell, shows him to be a diity scioundiel as well as a liar. I ought to apoligizo to the good people of Chase county lor being thus ex plisit in these dmials, it is not often that 1 stop to eveu deoy such vile slat.deis, and would not now wis the vile slaudeier known by all as he is by the old sittleis of Chase couuty. Missis.

Diolitlle, Gtesham and Winnie have all called upon me and repu. dieted these slaiie'ers and denounced the slandere-i. 1 have lived too long in Chase county, I haves ent to much tine and money to build up Chase couniy, for such slanders to hurl me. Since the eadi article, scores of the best Rej ul lici.iis In tle county have voluntairily came lo me and pledged me their support; Joigan is lenlly killing his owu friends, if he has any. hen the cam paign first opened, he slundeied Mr Rcbctts, of the City Hotel, and drove from him his best customer, lie is i now engaged in killing It is best friends.

They, and not should complain. Morgan stoops to the piosition of a vulture, His pillow is the peace of families destroved, the sigh of innocence, hroketj friendships, and the stiife of brother, hood) yet does he sj are his sleep hearing the clock numbering its midnight watches, doing mischief still, and early rises and akes est hellish meals of good mens louts. S. N. Wood, J.

S. Doolittle and his hiied an, Gresham, stumped Chase county only a ar ago against the Rep ublieau arty. 'J hey derounced the republican as well ihe Democratic party an corrupt and otten to the core." Doolittle and his hired mm are now mud ping Chase ouuty, elaiming to be Republicans. Wonder if the party became uie when i hey went back into it, or il it got pure in their absence. If tin re was any packing done in the Greenl aek County Convention, it was by cnididates who wi re not nominated.

11 proceedings of the committee on tiedentials were read in open convention, every district was called and voting was open. The delegates from Verncn and Ujmer were' not present and no voles were cast. Col. Wood, did not even work for the nomination, he would have prefered the office of county Attorney. A large number of delegates prefered him for that office, but the whole convention wanted him for another place.

Ue was nominated Representative, a-J is going to be elected, and the Leader might just as well quit lying about it. MUST lUi KISDEISMISD. Republicans Ik about money bein redeemed.
