'The feeling in Lawrence. seems to BE-
very general that Lesvenworth is her en-.
smy. There is similar public opinion
10 Emporis, IN the western part Of the
State, and in the whole northern tier Of
Counties. Il ID evident thst the dislike
Of Lawrence. and the snmity Of Atchi-
son, proceed from entirely different causes.
and il 10 little singular that such diverse
localities entertain such accordant senti-
ments, bot such Is the fact, and our pub
lie men should know it. and lose no time

this result. It can be done BY msgnan-
imous course and BY generous public
spirit. 49,.

er."
The Bulletin has also. within ashort
time past, done good deal Of scolding
upon the same subject. Among other
things, it ssys We are one of those who
are ashamed of their votes on the Bridge
question. 1t takes to heart declsrati lion
of the Neosho Valley Register. that the
State would continue to prosper If Leav.
enworth should sink into oblivion. The
Conservative has favored more liberal
course toward the balance of the State.
but the Bulletin has gone its full length
in favor of Leavenworth getting every
thing. It says Leavenworth is the me-
tropolis of the State. and whatever ben.
efits her, benefits the whole State. She
is to ''gobble up" the fat things. and the
rest Of the State can enjoy itself and grow
prosperous by looking on. She drinks
the liquor. and the balance Of the State
has the privilege of smelling her breath.
This Is the principle the Bulletin believes
in. and the one that the Lesvenworth
members in the late Legislature practiced.
In the first place. We will say. right
here, that We are not ashamed of our
vote sgainst the Bridges. We voted
against them the year before. and would
do 20 again, were they to come up in the
Same shape. We could not vote for
them. under any circumstances; but had
We no str onger objections. the mean
and despicable conduct of the Leaven-
worth delegation in the Legislature would
have decided our course. The Conserva.
tive and Bulletin need not wonder nor be
surprised that there is feeling through
out the State against their city. Their
Representatives and lobbyists brought
this about by their grssping sel6shness.
They did not give 1--WE are pretty we'll

last Winter but their action upon ev-
cry question. from County Seats up to
Railroads and State Institutions. was
shaped with an eye single to pet meas
ures Of their own. Mutual interests and
long friendships were as norhing-they
were cast aside for the benefit of Leaven-
worth greed. Let us cite few cases.
Northern Kansas has always been the
fast friend of Leaveworth. She has
Leavenworth men upon all oc-
casions. In Free State Conventions.
Doniphan County always gave q solid
vote for Parrot Delegate to Congress.
against Conway; and in the Senatorial
. majority Of the northern tier
members voted for Parrott. Eight ont
Of eleven Northern Delegates. in the last
Convention. voted for Carney for Cover
nor, and every one voted for Wilder for
Congress. On the other hand, Atchison
has always opposed Leavenworth. She
sets herself up Is rival. and bopes some
day to kill her. Her delegates always
went solid for Conway. against Parrots.
and she gave Lesvenworth . bard blow
in the Senatorial contest. And in the
State election. she gave almost . unani.
nous vote against the Leavsnworth can
lidstes. Atehison and Leavenworh in
'srssts are antagonistic. What helps

" hand. there is no clssbing Of interests
between Leavenworth and Northern K an.
'ss. Yet. notwithstanding oil this.
Leavenworth. in order to gain . few votes
or Bridge bill. sold out her Northern
friends. and voted with her rival. Atchi.
'oa-trusting. after her object was &C.
to secure enough aid to as
'ist her in killing Atchison. Ia it strange
hat Northern Kansas should feel unpleas.
