Her sudden removal was sad to the many friends who were anticipating a pleasant visit with her, for noito knew her but to love her; but to the fond par ents and bereaved sister, whose house had so recently been similarly visited by the removal of a precious babe and a dear grandchild, it was, indeed, a sore affiic tion, and while we deeply sympathize with the bereaved we feel that we, too, have lost a dear friend, whom we highly esteemed since our first acquaintance Although we cannot but mourn our loss. let us rejoice with her happy freed spirit in the glorious re-union that has taken place in the bright summer land where God's love shall forever unite us In one unbroken band, and put our whole trust nis eternal goodness, with the faith of tiie poet who has sung, "I dimly jftioss.

Eastwood. TUK 5EW3 AND MB. TOSTZ. Girard, Kansas, Sept. S8th, 1875.

Editors Pkess: In last week's under the head of "Our Com missioner," reference is made to an ntciview between myself ami Mr. Hent. The editors say they have it from Mr. Bents own hps tnat I advised him to withdraw from the canvass. For this reason I will relate- our conversation, wnai jir.

iuni said, and my reply. I was at ihe Crawford Comity Mill three or four days before the Reform convention met. Air. ilent intro duced the matter of his probable iomination by the Reform conven tion, and told me the matter had been mentioned, to him by E. P.

Pomfioy at the post oliice, and he him they might use his name in the convention. lie had also told Mr. Fulton the same thing. He told me then that he did not want the nomination, and that lie had con cluded to decline if it was tendered him, antl gave a reason that he was satisfied with the present board. and.

that he was satisfied that it would be to lite interest of the county io re-elect me, and that he intend ed to support me. The next time he met me was in the county clerk's office, on Jlonday evening, September Gth. lie entered into a conversation with me about his nomination. lie told me lie had received the nomination, and that if he could honorably get out of it lie would do so, and again repeated that he was satisfied that it was to the interest of the county that I should be rc elected, and that he would support rac; that if he knew himself he was a Republican in principle, and always gave the Republican candidate tha preference. I then said to him, "Mr.

Rent, it seems to mo you occupy a strange position. First, rou say you' are a Republican in principle, and, other things being equal, you give the Republican candidate the preference; and, second, that you endorse the present board, that you know nothing against them, and that yon believe it to be to the interest of the county to re-elect me; and, third, that you intend to support me, and do what can to elect me; lint still you allow your name to be used as a candidate against Mr. Cent-therenpon replied, "Mr. Tontz, you know they will run some one 'against you, and I think it will be to your interest that I run, as I think I am a weak candidate. If some one else was placed on the ticket you might be defeated, and if I thought there was any show for my election I should certainly r'e-cline, as I want you re elected." I then replied, "Use yonr own judgment; I have no advice to give." Now, then, I snj Mr.

licnt was either trying to deceive me. or else he was acting in bad faith to the part- that nominated hira. The JTetcs says Mr. Bent will make no personal canvass, and. of course, if he is not trj-ing to deceive, me he will work for m- electien, as he voluntarily said he would, as he thinks it will be to the interest of the county that I should be re-elected.

I knew all the time that Mr. Bent had no intention to decline, as he was selected by a certain ring for a certain purpose. When I say that Mr. Bent is the ring candidate I do not mean the Reform party, but a ring composed of men who have fleeced the county, and these same parties have opposed almost every step the present board took in the interest of reform and economy. They tried to get out an injunction to restrain the board from building the present court house, and in order to build it the members of tire board had to give their own individual obligations that the orders would be paid.

Now, j-on can judge by the conrse he has pursued, whether Mr. Bent, if he should be elected, can be used by this ring. I did say I would be elected, lie-cause I bad the utmost confidence in the honesty of our people, and because this fight against tne was in the interest of corruption. Yours, ia favor of genuine reform, John Tosjz. SC2ETAHT D-LW hi 01 Tiftl.
