Messrs. Bell, Leonsrd, Tucker (Bsverly,) Sell

that Marshal Hoover will require very little
pressing, indeed, to induce him to retain tho

such is his desire. Marshal Hoover ba,

THE DILEMMA OF THE KANSAS sHRIEKERs

THE DILEMMA OF THE KANSAS SHRIEKERS
The dilemma of the blackrepublicans in regard to
Kansas is thus pointedly stated by the Albany
Argus: sss4as"4.H .Ao Ia E,l' <af j." t'"g
Sometimes tho blaok-republcans claim to have sue
ceeded in Kansas they much need victory Some
times they claim to have been defeated they goat
over ourages and fraud And either theory suits the
momentary purpose they frame the facts to give it shape
If Kansas becomes free State what becomes of their
capital If it is not what becomes of their victory
Truly never was a party in such dilemma 1t divides
as we'll Us abstracts them ssst
1.-THE Tribune of yesterday morning howls the
sayement of Kansas, while the majority of the papers
of the same kidney proclaim the of the free
State party
Whatever the result It is vindcation of the demo-
cratic policy Kansas must govern herself whether
the blackrepublcan press believe it or not will do So
