To .Jon* VANiuofiiirr, .My Lear .John: — Wo won* not n little surprised when wo learned that you wore nominated for represcnta live mol had knocked J. 'I Snyder clean off the (JirOtins* tree, Ibd'nt know before that ton had any as peratiou* that way, lint it sectn* you have and have plunged riyrht into the thickest of the light without even a topping to consider where von was at or what kind of a fix those con founded republican* were going to get you into. Little you thought, did you, that you would have to pit again*! that old war horse Lewis Beehihold whoso completely knock cJ you out Iasi fill, the same fellow who made you feel just as though you hudn't been m it, who scooped you by u large majority and then Home, and who is now tilling the same seat you uapjred to lill. Well my dear John, history will repeat itself, und ton will doubtless have to suffer the same defeat, tin same humiliation, the same feeling of remorse. I am sorry but you aught to have known better, we re publicans did it once and we are notie to good to do it again, hud you not been so busty and so eager to gel a pull a< the public crib and consult ed us before the unfortunate occur ence we could have saved you all this trouble. But you would not and so that would seem lo settle it. The only advise we can offer now is | to do as the man who vyus convinced that he had udvaneed loo far, and was about to get into great danger, lie withdrew and thus saved his life. Vou might save your political repuia lion by withdrawing also, but you won’t do it, will you John. No. you argue just like ull pops, you didn't knowingly get into danger and yon won’t knowingly get out. But say John, there are older things to take into consideration, tilings perhaps that you had lost sight erf in your eagerness to become a great man, but tin! public in their culm deliberations are keeping tab on. For instance they huvn't for got that you were one of the Johns who sent a representative, another John to Kansas, after that ear of aid which was equally disttilmled u mong the several John's of your im mediate neighborhood, and by the way, .Johns who were as well fixed as any one in the county. This car was shipped direelly to the county clerk, lteiu, so that the humblest tax payer in the county would have to help pay the freight on it, urn! Was then turned over to the Johns, in stead of being dell out as other aid supplies, to those who needed it worst. There ure oilier things that I might call lo mind but will defer them to some future lime. Tours in haste B. eV (i. or the Two Orphans.
