Kansas The Governors Private
Secretary Appoints an IrrespOn-
sible Man to the Important PO-
sifiOn of Judge Of tfe I'd Judi
cial District.


Ever since we have been State the
Judge of the Second Judicial District has
been located in Alchison. While we have
been satisfied with Judge Horton as a
Judge, yet his location is such that it is
calculated to be unfavourabIe 10 our local
interests. There are five counties in the
Northern Tier that are attached to Atchi.
son county in judicial District. Upon
Judge Horizons resignation it was. well un-
ders.ood that his successor should come
from the Northern Tier. In fact Judge
HORTON united with the lawyers ofthis Sec
-ti5n. in recommending Mr.. c. c. Camp.
Of Troy, for the position. Mr.. Camp is a
lawyer Of acknowledged ability and long
experience. This arrangement was likely
TO prove eminently satisfactory to a large
majority of the District Inas smuch as i'm.
portant local matters come under the su-
pervision ofthe District Judge, our people
manifested considerable interest in the
matter. But they were defeated by the
dirty lodges of Atchison lawyers with the
cooperation of the Governors private Sec
retary The day following Judge AQrton's
resignation one Bob. Gra1s& ofs Atchison
appeared at Topeka with fetNn ofTrecom-
menda,ion for the position; and AIr. Nc.
Afee was just the tool to do their bidding,
he not being ac,uated by the best feeling
in the world towards Northern Kansas.
The members of the bar of the various
counties of the Northern Tier are greatly
incensed at the action of the private Sec-
retary and will pass resolutions denoun-
cling the appointment. 1t is to be hoped
that upon the return of Gov. Crawford he
will revoke the commission, aud substi,u tie
a private Secretary that will not tae such
liberties in his absence. Mr.. McAfee
the private Secretary pretends to be a con-
sciencious man, and has been heard to
say be would always oppose the appoint.
ment of an incorporate man to an imror-
tant position; yet this same man whom he
has appointed to the important Office of
Judge is understood to be a confirmed
drunkard. We are told that last fall in
Fl Of delirum tremens he took poison and
his life was only saved by the most severe
medical appliances. How long is Northern
Kansas tohe the suffering victim of preju
dice and the pIay.thing of venal politicians?
Let this outrage be rspudiated along the
whole line from the Missouri river to the
frontier settlements.
