LAWRENCE AND HUMPHREY.
Mr.. Lawrence. the Republican candidate
is peculiarly fitted for Secretary of State
He is an old resident of Kansas, is law
year, and a thorough business man. He is
we'll acquainted with our State affairs. He
ington, looking after our railroad and other
interests, and through his influence several
Southern Kansas swindles have been de-
feated. He is man of excellent private
character, and strict political honesty. Mr.
Humphrey is also good man, but is moi
qualified for the Office. He is quite young,
and has no experience. His abilities are
very ordinary. and he was put on the ticket,
because be had newspaper, and the Mon
grels wanted it as an organ in Western
Kansas. Had it not been for that, the
Mongres would never have thought of him
for so important an Office. Mr.. Lawrence
ought to receive all our votes, as no man
who is acquainted with the two candidates
would pretend to say that he is not by far
the best man for the Secretary's Office. Let
US We him good vote next Tuesday.

MAJ ais des Cyghes murder, in our early
history. He was lett fot dead by Hamil-
toms gang. but after wards recovered, and
yet carries The scars of his wounds. one of
which was in his face. He is beloved by
all at home and abroad. for his manly yir-
tues. He has held several important and
responsible Offices in Linn county, and has
always been an active Free-State man, in
the troubles of that region. Mr.. Goss can
urge no possible claims upon the people for
this important office. He has always been
Democrat, and why he should be taken
for that Office we cannot see. He certainly
is not qualified for its duties. II seems to
us that. in majority of their selections, the
Mongrels have picked Up men W o were
unknown. without any reference to fitness.
Vote for the best man, and let your own
judgment be the GUIDE. in which case you
will certainly support Mr.. Hairgrove.
sPRTGGs AND LAKIN.
Aside from politics, we must acknowl-
edge that the Mongrels have ''got US,
here. Mr.. Lakin is perhaps as well quail
fed for Treasurer as any man in the State.
He is a Democrat of the Alabama school,
while Mr.. Spriggs is a true-blue Republi-
can. Spriggs was member of the last
State Senate, is good worker, and We have
the assurances of those best acquainted
with him, that he is entirely competent to
ill the Office of Treasurer. He is honest,
and of good habits.
WATSON AND GAMBELI.
We have these TWO gentlemen trimming
for Chief Justice; the former on the Re-
publican and the latter on the Half Breed
ticket. Gambell is the man who declared
here. few weeks ago that be always had
been 3 Democrat-was a Democrat now,
and be thought no state of circumstances
would arise in which he would not be a
Democrat in the future. That's how much
Union there is about him; and if the real
truth were known, that is just about how
much Union there is about two-thIrds OF
the Lawrence ticket. II there are any who
think they won't puke by swallowing him
on election day, let them try it. He is a
lawyer of some eminence at home, but. We
understand, is generally overrated. We
are afraid be is destined to Gana5ol in the
quietude of his Leavenworth home for some
time to come, if be waits Gil tbs people OF
