The Union Republican Ticket.

We fee! safe in saying that better
selection Of men for Office vas never
presented as candidates for the suffrage
of the voters of Kansas than those nom
mated by the convention of the 18th
inst. There is not black sheep in the
4icket. Every man is worthy OF conf :
denee and support; every one qualified
FOR the posisior for which he is desig-
mated. We are proud TO float such a
ticket at our mast head. And its merit
is made the more conspicuous BY COM
parison with the miserable and imbecile
lot Of men set up on the Bib inst.-a
set that their own friends are ashamed
of. and swallow as they would nau-
seating dose of medicine, because the
master Of the movement says they must.
Ii such men as compose our ticket
are not elected by the people Of Kansas,
they do not deserve good State gov
ernment. If they should prefer the
miserable things set up on the 9th to
these nsen, (which we do not for a mo-
ment believe) they deserve to be cursed
with misrule. and all the evils Of an
archy, corruption and insecurity which
are the necessary consequences Of an
administration of weak minded men.
The convention was composed of SOL
ID. sober. candid men, and there was
but one spirit animating the delegates
Ia single desire 10 nominate rne oesf
men. and do the best thing for the gen
eral good. Personal preferences we're
sunk in the desire for the public welfare.
II am for the best men, no difference
who they are," was the universal ex-
preston Of all the delegates with whom
we conversed. It was the oyerwhelm-
ing feeling of the convention; hence.
the excellent ticket put in nomination.
We heard Of no "sxes to grind" no
favorilism to crafty; no malice to wreak;
no personal claims SET up. But there
was a fixed determination TO redeem
the State from corruption. anarchy and
tie reign of the plundeiers,

The Conservative.

The course Of this paper must bring
it into contempt even on the part Of its
friends. In its issue of the 10th i! said
emphatically tina, the ticket nominated
on the 9th should receive its undivided
opposition and the next issue gave
the reasons which were sound and SEN
sible) why i. would oppose the bogus
nominees Of the 9th.
A few days elapse. and with single
exception it hoists that very ticket j.
had repudiated and supports the con-
venlion it had spit upon. And what is
that exception? The answer to this
question covers the whole ground Of
the Conservatives qualifications and
inconsistencies.
A. c. Wilder. brother of the late pro-
prietor Of that paper (who yet controls
its columns twas candidate for re-nom-
ination. He has many friends. and is a
genial gentleman; but Sid. Clarke had
Lanes influence. and Wilder was defeat
ed in the convention. The Conserva.
live took fire and repudiated the whole
nasty thing-jussly repudia,ed it.
The convention Of the 18Th came of,
and General Lee was nominated for
Congress. The Conservative sees a
good chance to revenge itself on Clarke
for beating Wilder, and hoists the bogus
ticket with Lee for Congress. This
shows its true spirit-shows how shall
low is its patriotism. how little i. cares
for the interests Of the State, how much
for its own selfish purposes. 1t gives
its support to a ticket it denounced. and
to policy it characterises as infamous
all because Mr.. A. C. Wilder was
not nominated for Congress. Who can
have confidence in such paper? Who
will trust it? Not a man in the State
of intelligence and honesty. 1t has
proclaimed its own shame, written its
own condemnation. The former editor,
Mr.. Bloss, gentleman of talent. would
not sell himself to such stupid imbecil-
ity, aud left the concern. 1t is now
run by Wilder. We presume. or BY no
responsible editor. 1t has fallen into
contempt even among its friends.
Had it not been as we say. that the
whole sore was just as large and no
larger than the defeat Of A. G. Wilder,
then would the Conservative have adopt.
ed at least tuo others of the nominees
of the 18th, namely Judge Kingman
and Asa Hairgrove. men tried and true.
and known TO be qualified for the posi-
ions they occupy. sudse sksnsm..-s-
so fsr above Stafford in every way, that
Stafford will never get within thous-
and miles Of hailing distance of him;
and Hairgrove is number one Auditor.
Had the Conservative adopted these
two candidates, it would have removed
from it, a. least 10 very good degree.
the naked sel6shness OF its course, and
the family tain, of its indignation. Blu,
i, bas seen fit TO make bare its own folly,
to expose its utter want Of principle.
its preference for brother over the in
terests Of the State aud Nation, and we
are content TO let it stand Oh its own
record.

E5-McC Clellan's letter Of acceptance,
1t is said, gives mortal offense TO Val.
landigham and the peace men Of his
stripe. We are pleased that Nc. takes
ground for the Union and that his letter
gives SO little comfort to the rebels. II
it were not for the fact that lie stands
on such miserable platform of semi
treason. and is supported by such a
host Of traitors aud copperheads, We
should feel tolerably well pleased with
his letter. It's certainly quite as good
as We could expect from him under the
circumstances. and must have required
some courage to write it in the face Of
the elements that entered into his sup
port.

What We Need.

What we need at the present juucture
Of affairs is victory. A telling defeat
of the rebels at Richmond would settle
the question of the Presidential can
vass. We believe blow will be struck
there soon-just as soon as Grant feels
he is strong enough to strike it with
success, and we incline TO think that
time has about come now. Ii Lee can
be thoroughly defeated a, the present
jurc,ure. the rebellion is crushed.
The rebels cannot add any consider
able number of new recruits to their
ranks. and their armies once broken,
ruin follows their unholy cause.
Every man, therefore. that can now
be hurried forward 10 tie front will be
worth twu u,ru hereafter, II delay
gives the rebels time 10 recover from
the blow a, Atlanta. Their only prac-
aical fighting army now is that a. Rich
mond, including the division under
Early ia the Shenandoah valley; il this
army is conquered. there is no longer
a rallying front. no longer a practical
head fo- the military department Of the
rebellion. We take it that Lee must
fight soon. and on nearly equal ground
with Grant, or be cut OF from the rest
ef rebellion and reduced to state Of
siege.
II il were year sooner or six months
later, We think he would not hesitate a,
moment which course to pursue-he
would fight. But in view Of the ap-
preaching Presidential election. and its
possible contingencies. he may choose
10 ru, the risks Of a siege and the
chances for success Of the peace party
candidate in the contest for tie Execu-
i've chair Of the nation. A few days
will de,e, mine this point. il we mistake
not. Let US hope lor telling victory,
which viiI look to speedy peace.--

The Elections,

As usual, Vermont has given r1us-
ing Union majority-every thing is for
the Union; Congress. Legislature, the
people. Rebels find no sympathy there.
Maine is the same way. though no,
quite so unenimous-all the congress
men, nearly all the legislature. and a
very large majority of the popular vote
an increase over last year,
These elections show that the love
for the Union is deep-seated in the
hearts of the people. and indicate what
will be the result in November.
On Tuesday the llth Of October.
Pennsylvania. Ohio. and Indiana elect

Should these States vote right. the
