THE TICKET.

"How does the State ticket suit you ? :"
is the question asked by everybody now.
And we find quite number who say they
don't like it. Well, we don't like it either,
as we'll as we might; but intend, for aught
we know at present, to support it. 1t would
be an utter impossibility to put ticket in
the field that would suit everybody. Our
first choice for Governor was Gen. G. W..
Collamore, bat he was defeated, and we con-
ceive it to be the duty Of him and bic friends
to support the man that beat him, if it was
done honorably, and SO far as we could OBJ
serve the convention proceeded as fairly as
such bodies generally do.
There is some objection to the ticket On
the ground that the two most important Of
fces-the Congressman and Governor
were given to Leavenworth Southern Kan
sas was entitled to one of these positions,
and ought to have had it, but ON account of
being divided against herself, she lost her
rights. A house divided against itself will
always fall. It was impossible to unite the
friends of Collamore, Crawford and Phil
lips on any one of these gentlemen for Gov
ernor, and equally as impossible to mass
the strength of Conway, Lawrence and
Thacher on the Congressman. In fact. some
of the South side candidates, finding they
could not succeed, threw their votes to
Northern candidates, rather than unite with
their Southern Kansas competitors, hoping
to create dissatisfaction among the people
of Southern Kansas, and thus prepare the
way for another ticket, which they threat
ened to put in the field if the convention
did not nominate them. Again, Lawrence
has had, for the last two years, the Cover
nor, Congressman, and one U. s. Senator,
while Leavenworth has had nothing. Law
renee claims to be head quarters for the
South, but what great advantage has it been
to those of us who really I've IN Southern
Kansas, to have those three important off
oes south of the Kaw river? We believe
the only Leavenworth man who was ever in
CougIess-the Hon. Marc. Parrott-did as
much for Southern Kansas, as some of those
who hail from South of the Kaw. We take
the past for our guide in the future, and be-
lieye We will fare as well at the hands Of
Leavenworth men as we would from any
others, unless they live in the Southern
part Of the State. None of the important
or influential positions of the State have
ever been held by Southern Kansas men.
The people have the public and private
pledges of Messrs. Wilder and Carney that
all portions of the State shall receive their
attention.
Thos. Carney is we'll known to the people
throughout the State. Almost everybody
has done business with him. He started
in the world few years ago as poor boy,
in one of the interior towns Of Ohio, with
out education or influence. By his own in
domitable energy he has built himself up to
his present position of influence and wealth.
His credit in the East is almost unbounded.
His election to the gubernatorial chair, we
are satisfied, would do much to re establish
confidence in the credit of our State. His
energy would be guaranty that none Of
the great interests of our State would lag.
Ii man manages his own affairs well is il
not reasonable to suppose the interests ol
the public are safe in bis hands We like
Mr.. Carney because he is self.made man
We take stock in man that helps himself.
OF A: c. Wilder we have frequently spo-
ken before. He is live. energetic man, Of
frst-class educati IN. and excellent abilities
He an is anti-slavery Republican to the back
bone-an Abolitionist if you choose. He
would advocate. and vote for a more vigor-
Gus and earnest war policy, and is just the
man. ia oar opinion. TO make an efficient
Member Of Congress. He has spent six oil
seven years IN Kansas. during which time
be has done great deal of work. and fur
nished his means freely to help along the
csuse, and is well acquainted with the want:
