Poor Encouragement.

/ The project of organizing the Republi-
can party in Kansas, seems to meet with
poor encouragement indeed. As far as
we have observed, among the many Fret
State papers in Karsas, only the Leaven-
worth Times, Lawrence Republican, To
peka Tribune, and Atchison Champion,
have favored such an organization al
present. Several other papers would like
to see that party successfully organized,
but they think that this is not the proper
time to do it. In brief, they are not SO
sanguine of success, and think that the
movement would be failure.
The meeting in this County, on the
10Th Of June, accomplished nothing, just
as we. supposed it would. We learn
from person who was there, that it was
resolved to postpone the matter until
some future period. Mr.. Barr was there
an all his glory, and was the champion
of Republicanism. He was supported by
A. j. Allison, Probate Judge, E. NJ. Lee,
County Clerk, and several others. Mr..
Wrigley and Robert st. Clair Graham
opposed the organizations Thompson"
was there, and appeared to be right for
once, as we are told that he opposed the
organization. He thought it had better
be deferred until after the vote on the
English Proposition-after that time, we
cannot say whether he wants Republi-
can party or not. However, we agree
with Thompson" there. We think the
organization of a Republican party should
be deferred until after the vote in August
say two thousand years afterl
This organization of a Republican
party in Kansas, has besnifCund to be
not such an easy job as W. anticipated.
The masses have too much regard for the
welfare of Kansas, to hazard it in an at
tempt to build up party. Many men
imagined that, as the Republicans in the
States and in Congress had taken up
for the rights of Kansas. and claimed to
be her exclusive champions, and as the
people of Kansas were greatly incensed
against the Democratic party, they would
Immediately fall into the Republican line,
without a moments hesitation. In this
they were slightly mistaken. The thou
sands who left other parties, to join the
Free State party of Kansas, did so for
her benefit. Their object was to secure
the welfare of Kansas, not to help the
Republican party out of the drag. Had
they desired that, they could have Joined
the party before they came here. s.s 4
The Republican party has had its day
The party for the whole country, and the
party that is bound to take the sway, is
the one that is non rising throughout the
country. The ball was set in motion at
Buffalo, and has been responded to from
Philadelphia, Washington City, and in
every direction. That is the party for
men of liberal views, and will unite all
who are sincerely opposed to the Demo
cratic party. G - -.a.s 1 go
Since writing the above, we have re-
ceiyed the Geary City Era, containing an
account of the proceedings at Troy, which
we publish in another column. 1t will
be seen that the Resolutions adopted by
the meeting, express precisely the doc
trine we advocated, in an article publish
ed few weeks ago. The sentiment of
the Free State people of Doniphan Coun-
ty cannot be mistaken, when we see such
Resolutions strongly adopted by a mass
meeting called for the express purpose of
the Republican party.
