Goyeruor and Congress.

We think we view the political hight
now going on in this State. impsrtislly.
not being especially devoted to any can
didate on the track. And of the various
candidates, We must say, in all csudor.
that there are but two before the public
whom we consider competent to properly
gil the Office of Governor, and but one for
Congress. The two for Governor, are
M. s. Adams and Col. VIM. A. Phillips.
Either one of them would make an ex-
celleat Governor. Thomas Carney is q
very sharp trader. but - Governor, would
Be wholly out Of bis element. G. w.
Collsmore is too irsscible. and is as I'D
getty and impatient IS third-rate French
daucing-master. We have expressed our
opinion of Crawford frequently enough.
As public man. he amounts to very lit
tie. and would make only tolerable
member of the Legislature.
OF the two foremost aspirants for Con-
gress, A. G. Wilder is the only one who
approaches the standard Of qualification
necessary for serviceable Congressman.
We have the best of feelings for Mr..
Conway. and personally. would wish him
no bad luck; put politically. we honestly
think he has proven total failure. with
no prospect of improvement. He SO
nearly amounts to q wooden man. that
even the Olathe Mirror ought to give him
an enthusiastic support. If be has &C
complished anything practical, we have
failed to learn Of it. His claim that be
is but an apprentice; has served but one
term and part of another; has had . 60
we're spell Of sickness that he wants
fair opportunity to show what be can do.
ETC.. amounts to nothing. Congressman
who have risen to distinction, have from
the very start given evidence of what was
in them. Even the small fraction of
term which Conway served in the last
Congress. afforded opportunity for man
of calibre to make good showing. Mr..
Conway's plea, after all be has had an
opportunity of doing, and the little he
has really done. is childish in the ex-
treme. When we consider the reputation
which he had by some means acquired in
the early days of the Territory. leading
the public to believe that be would spec
dily become star of the first magnitude,
and then contrast it with the position he
has occupied in Congress. the descent is
from the sublime to the ridiculous.
We want Congressman who will
think for himself, and act without hesi-
tation not one who refuses to mako .
recommendation or suggestion without
first consulting somebody else, or who
lodges important votes. lest he should
damage his chances for q reelection.
Thus far, two Senators have been suffi-
cient to attend to all the affairs of K4hsas
1t Washington, without the cooperation
of Congressman-Pomeroy to do the
work, and Lane to control the patronage.
