Jennison beat Col. Cloud of military re-
nown in the race for representative from
one of the wards in Leavenworth. We
should not have wondered if the contest
had lain in the north part of the city. bat
for such man 10 beat Cloud in the south
part of the city is beyond our comprehen.
sion. Cloud has learned by this tilne that
there is 90 use Of running for office in
Leavenworth unless he has the "bummers'
on his side. No matter if they don't live
in that ward, they can be easily transpor-
ted. We hope that the House will give
Cloud the seat, for there is no doubt but
there was fraudulent voting.
The course that the Conservative took
in the canvass, to say the least, was CEN
surable.
There is one place where Jennison can
not beat Cloud, that is chasing and kill.

Hon. Sidney Clarke.

Our worthy Member of Congress above
mentioned, has beeu taking drive over the
country to visit his constituents before de-
parting for Washington: He happened
in this place the evening that our railroad
meeting was called-last Tuesday. After
the business of the meeting was transacted
be was called upon for speech, which in
vitation he accepted. He spoke nearly one
hour. to the grea. satisfaction of an appre.
ciative audience. His position on the all
important question OF the day, "Recon-
struction,'' is sound to dot No South
ern state acquires representation in Con-
gress this winter by his vote unless far diff
ferent guarantees are given than any yet
made manifest. He spoke encourageingly
and confidently of our railroad prospects
generally and the future of Kansas. Mr..
Clarke is live man, with live future.
He will honor Kansas and Kansas honor
him. 4u

baugh was called to the chair and r. S.
Newell chosen secretary. Remarks were

not time to publish this week.
The meeting was harmonious in spirit

Now that our Republic has proved a
success under the most trying difficulties,
Republics are likely to be the rage for
the next few years. We presume they
will have bigger run than hoop skirts and
balmoral stockings ever did. We have
the "Irish Republic" the "Me1ican Re-
public" the "Hayti Republic" and half a
dozen more "Republics' in embryo, and
each of course mus. have "Loan." There
is where the joke will come in, on the
"Loan." People had better letter those
alone. Eor they will not prove as good
an investment as Uncle Sans.

"ONLY LITTLE BRooK"-A simple
but very touching incident has been re-
lated to US, says The Mime Press, in con-
nection with the last moments Of beauti-
ful little girl in Bath, who lately died at
the age of nine years and eleven months.
A very little b. fore she died, as the sor-
rowing friends stood around her, and
watching the last movings of the gentle
breath, the last faint futterlng Of the lit
tie pulse, they became aware from her bro
ken words, that she shrank with natural
dread from The unknown way that was
opening before her. She bad come to the
borders of the mysterious river which sep
crates US from the dim hereafter, and her
timid feet seemed to hesitate and fear to
stem the food. But after time her fears
subsidized, she grew calm and ceased talking
about the long, dark way, till at the very
last she frightened suddenly, smile Of
confidence and courage lighted up her
swee. face. Goa, it is only title brook y
she cried, and SO passed over to the heav-
enly shore.

SHREwD CouNTERFEITING.-It is sta
ted that the counterfeiers of the fifty cent
national currency have adopted shrewd
plan. The conterfeit is an excellent one,
and apt to deceive good judges; but in or
der to deceive the more efectually, they
have spelled the word "designated," on the
right corner, "jesignated" on some of the
notes, thus leaving many persons under the
impression that all the counterfeits are so
spelled and easily detected. This is mis-.
take. and but few Of the notes have this
on them.

In the case of this extrao rdinary boy,
blind Tom, says the New York Herald,
genius triumps over caste and color. The
profession, never generous, and seldom
even just to their own color, come to Tom
to sneer, and 80 away believing and as

denied. 1t rises superior to prejudice,
and it enables him to do what our educa-

We learn the following facts from gen.
tlemen just over the B. D. D. route: A
discharged soldier some three hundred
miles out West was taken with rheuma-
ism, and had privilege to return with an
empty train. The person having care of
him, for some reason put him out on the
plains eigh. miles this side Of Ft. Fletcher
to die. A couple of soldiers came along
and reported him to the Captain at the
Fort. Between 10 aud II o'clock at night
the Captain sent some of his men down !;
and wien they found him he was wrapped
in his blanke', unable to walk a step, and
six or eight large gray wolves were sit
ting round ham on their launches wait
ing to dsvour him. He is youth IL or
Is years Of age, modest and intelligent
and is reported torhave been gallant SOL
dier. The men at the Fort are anxious
for the retnrn Of the good Samarala ()

Political.

The political campaign was pretty ex.
citing in several counties of this State
Among the most animated, and we might
say most abusive, we would name Doni-
phan, Atchison, Bourbon and Lyon. In
Doniphan comfy an independant ticket
beat the regular convention ticket, owing,
we presume, to the fact that both county
papers supported the Independent ticket.
That ought to be enough to make any
ticket successful. Each paper succeeded
in helping itself little while helping their
ticket r
In Atchison county both papers sup
ported the Republican Union ticket, but
that did not save it. Some Independent
candidates for the Legislature out-fanked
the regular nominees Now the two pa
pers are trying to put the fault of their
defeat upon each other. The Champion
swears it was owing to the ultra editorials
of the Free Press, and the latter paper af.
firms that it was owing to the Champion S
hating and weak support of the ticket
which arose from its profound respect for
'Copperheads. In our opinion the course
Of the Cham pioa's is the policy, for the
Cops. are power in Kansas. We hsve
learned by experience that they, like the
democrats of old, all go one way they
never pull "fernenst" each other, lot if
they know themselves, and prudent { y
politicians are beginning to find that ut.
We presume however, that the real
cause of their candidates defeat was lack
of votes.
Now that elecliod is over, those two pa
pers had better quit their fight, instead Of
spending whole nights rummaging the die
tionary for mean names to fill their col
umns with in denuncation of each other.
Everybody knows by this time, if they did
not before, that the Champion thinks the
Pressiles aye slow coach and the Press
thinks the Championites have the big
head alarmingly. Who cares to differ
with those opinions.
Down in Bourbon county, Charley Blair
beat the regular candidate for the House
and the tremendous influence of the Moa-
itor into the bargain. Blair is the hardest
fellow to beat that can be found in that
district, platform or no platform.
Thus we see these county papers have
their own way sometimes and sometimes
they don't.
Jake Stoteler of Lyon county ran on
the indeprndant ticket and was elected
The Emporia Ne,cs, published by the last
Speaker of the House, supported Jake
manfully, and likely contributed con-
siderable towards his success. Jake, you
won't be Speaker this winter.
