White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1864-09-22

beaten BY Ben. Wade. through q combi-
nation Of the Free Soilers Ind Democrats.
he would do honor to the Supreme
Bench Of any State. His opinions. IS
Attorney General. will be Of some value.
In comparison with them. the opinions
Of some Of his predecessors will be as
Mother Goose. Melodies to ths Psalms
Of David. His opponent. Brumbaugh.
would gain mose credit in withdrswing
from the contest thsn iu being elected over
him. if such thing we're probsb!s.
John s. Brown, the candidate for So.
perintendent of Public Instruction, is said
to be msn of 6ne education. As. the
position has no connection with politics.
other questions will probably decide the
contest for this Office. His opponent,
Goodnow. the, present incambens. is a
very competent man but il is charged
that he hss designs upon the fnnd to be
raised BY the sale Of the School Lands.
which will not be advantageous to the
State. ...,.
OF the csndidstes for Presidential elec.
tors. E. Cbesebrough and R. McBratney
were nominated by the Lane Convention.
4 -
AS that Convention claimed to represen,
the genuine Lincoln party, We presume
they knew bow their nominees stood on
the great question. Marcus j. Psrroti
was nominated BY the Convention Of the
18th. to 6ll the vacancy ocsasioned by
the death of Nelson McCracken. The
people of Kansas do not need to be told
who Marcus J. Parrott is. The L,ne
Central Committee have nominated Col.
R. w. Cloud to fill the vacancy; but all
votes cast for: him. will be so many to.
ward defeating one Of the Lincoln Elec-
tors.
Last, but by no means least, is our
candidate for Congress, Gen. Albert L.
Lse. In 1861, be resigned the position
Of Judge of this Judicial District, to en-.
ter the army. He was appointed Major
of tbs Kansas 7th. then Colonel, and soon
afterwards was promoted to . Brigadier
Generalship. He has been in active ser.
vice ever since. except for short time
while suffering from q severe wound re-
ceived in one of the assaults upon Vicks.
burg. Upon his recovery. be was sp-
pointed BY Gen. Banks Chief Of Cavalry
in the Department Of the Gulf. Banks
afterwards removed him for obeying the
orders Of his auperiors; bot Gen. Candy
reinstatsd him. and considers him such ,
good officer that be for . long time refus,
cd him furlough to come North for the
benefit Of his health. 1t is reported that
he has arrived in New York; in which
case, We msy soon expect him in Kansas.
where the people will give him such o
reception as they have nsver before given
to any man. 1t will surpass in enthnsi-
ssn Jim Lanes drummsd up squsds du-
ring his recent elsctioneering tour. as far
as the battle Of Gettysburg surpassed in
grandeur the cowhiding of Lane BY a
woman in the streets of Washington.
Gen. Lee is q talented and highminded
man. who attended to his duties while
others brought his claims forward and
nominated hin-not, like hrs opponent.
Sid. Clarke, packing Convention with
his swarm of deputies, and hoping to
carry the election by the same means.
Lee is also an honest man, sud does not
expect to buy an election with money
pluu1ered from the Government, or
swindled from the poor men of Kansas
who left their homes and their business
to defend the border. Lee is a man, act.
ing from principle: while Clarke is q
tool, doing the. bidding of master. Bot
Q comparison between the two is . waste
of space. As we were the first to pro.
pose Lee for Congress. we feel something
more than usual interest in securing his
triumph. .'s- rs .ra; 80 &C.
In short, the Convention could not
have made single nomination, different
from the above, that would: have added
strength to the ticket; nor could the
Lane Convention have made . single no.
minstion thst would have added weak
ness to theirs. They are both perfect in
these opposite qualities, But we warn
the friends of our ticket. that, good as it
is. L,ne and. his psck will soon be over
the State throwing fihh at il. The can.
didstes will be called Copperheads. Nc
Ciellanites in disguise. fraudites. disor-
gsnizers- calnmniAtors, and everything
elsa that is neans But fortunately. the
people Of Kansas now understand Lane,
and with them his fsvorits tactics are
played out -.
BIC MAE ME.-Ths Conservative,
speaking Of Gen. A. L. Lee. says: :
He Was nominated at Topsks BY the
fraudites in order to get the support Of
