Candidates for the various State Offices
are becoming thick. About one hundred
ambitious gentlemen (besides those in the
State Prison at Leavenworth) are bent on
serving the State for term of years, to date
from the first of January next.
There is one qualification common to the
whole lot, which we are glad to observe
that of honesty! The present State Off
GERS are under the weather, just now, be-
cause they seem to lack this qualification;
and so all those who aspire to succeed them
put forward that qualification as their best
foot-their chief excellence and recommen-
dalton. And..a good quality honesty is, to
be sure; and we are glad to have the word
of so many ambitious gentlemen, that they
possess, Individually, such stock of it
quite a superabundance, in some cases
80 much that some could be spared for
the benefit of less fortunate personsl Among
the superabundantly honest ones, we recall
most vividly the name of one DIR. Fletcher.
of Topeka, who ''has claims" for the posi-
ton of State Auditor. And recalling his
name brings to mind bit of testimony
taken before one of the numerous Commit
tees of Investigation, appointed by the late
House of Representatives of our State Leg
islature, to the effect that the said Doctor
Fletcher was one of a combination of county
officers FLETCHER being District Clerk at
the time) to defeat bill pending before the
Legislature of 1861, regulating the fees of
county officers; for which purpose the said
combination raised fund of three or four
hundred dollars. The bill, however, be-
came law, notwithstanding the efforts of
Fletcher's combination; but Immediately
after the adjournment of the Legislature the
bill was stolen from the Office of the Secre-
tary of State, and so failed to become law
by reason of which, officers fees con-
tinued to be governed by the swindling en-
aetments of 1859 and 80. Who stole the
bill. and who procured it to be stolen, is yet
undiscovered by positive testimony. But
she presumption is strong enough against

defense. Of course, those persons inter-
ested in the defeat of the bill to such an
extent as to raise money for that purpose,
are the only ones who would be interested
ia stealing it after its passagei and it is our
firm belief that person who viii use money
to defeat bin, is not too good to raise and

Honesty ought indeed to be an essential
qualification for any position of trust; bat
we beg of the people of Kansas to take care
that those whom they select to control the
State Government for the next and all sue
ceeding terms have also the other Jefferso.
