We publish in another column clear nd
succines statement of the more prominent oc
curenccs since Gov. Geary has been in Kan
sas, from which will be readily seen the real
position occupied by that official. No doubt
he desires to have the reputation Of fairness,
aud would liketo create the impression with
the Free State men tina. lac feels impartial
and is determined to be so. And in the out
set they were encouraged to feel that he

but into the care Of the Ruihans, their enc

though guilty u the same offences, and
though he has, with his own ewes. looked
on the men they murdered, and seen them
