day, and at night gave US specimen of
their orasory, at the Congregational church.
There were some forty persons present, most
of whom were Republicans. Judge Ruggles
was called to preside. and introduced Hon.
Willard p Gambell, of Leavenworth, can
didate for Chief Justice on the Lawrence
ticket. From the tone of the speeches of
both Stinson and Gambell, it was evident
that these gentlemen are laboring under the
hallucination that there is a plot to kill them,
because they dare to oppose the Republican
ticket. We should hate to hear of the I'M
timely demise of either Of these affable young
men, because there is promise in them. We
would beg to assure them that we do not
believe they are in danger of bidding fare
we'll to earth, at the hands of any of the
Republicans of Southern Kansas. Doubt
less, were the Republicans of this section
of che State to take notion to kill any of
the Democrats off, they would not pick on
such harmless members of that defunct po-
litical party az are these two excellent and
worthy young men. We think the Repub-
lcans would rather be inclined to see their
best interests, and would encourage these
young men to go on with their speech ma
king all over Southern Kansas, and
could doubtless be induced, especially after
hearing them howl, to pay their bills rather
than that they should cease to make speech
es against the Republican ticket. But we
are DEPRESSING.
Judge Gambell commenced by stating
that they had come to Southern Kansas at
a considerable risk of their lives, to talk to
their fellow citizens. sc Halter" Z" Guard
house." Lane" was the principal cry.
He denounced Lane in very bitter terms, as
a swindler, humbug. and murderer,
and if Justice had been done him he would
have dangled in the air at the end of rope.
long ago. He told US he was Democrat
always had been Democrat. and always
expected to be Democrat. The radicals
would have to be put down. Lane and
Pomeroy had never done anything for the
State. With them it was niger in the
morning, niger at noon, and niger for
supper. He wound up by telling the peo-
pie be was candidate, and would thank
them for their votes. Six or eight men
stamped vigorously.
Then came the Attorney General, who
spoke but few minutes, on account OF
hosrseness. He advocated, with some vigor,
the nominees Of the Lawrence Convention.
The burden of his song was ''Lane." Dwelt
on the danger Of having military dictator
for Kansas. and said he had no doubt that

all who opposed the Republican ticket
Bah Mr.. Stinson. He said there was now
but one issue before the people of Kansas
James H. Lane against the people OF
Kansas; and that he was on the side Of the
people. 1t had been said that be had made
the Lawrence ticket If he did, he was
proud of it, for it was the best one ever put
in the field in Kansas. We fear the people

matter, next November.
In justice to Judge Gambell, we must
say, that at home he stands high in the esti-
nation of the people. both as citizen and
an eminent lawyer. No one doubts the en-
tire fitness and ability of the man for the
place.
i The main fight of the Union men
seems to be on Lane. As that gent emau
is not now candidate before the people,
we cannot see the use OF this course. He
undoubtedly had hand in the nomination
of Mr.. Carney; bat that the entire Republi
can ticket is his pet, We deny. This Lane
CRY is getting to be worn out, and will reac
against the Unionists, and will have an en-
