The Chief and the Reporter have gen
orally harmouized remarkably we'll on
public matters-which proves that wise
men can see slike-but upon the Senate
rial question we can't hitch. The Re-
porter thinks Carney is just the man that
Kansas wants; the Chief thinks be Is just
the man she will soon be heartily sick
Of. If the Legislature. in temporary ht
of insanity. should elect him. The last
Reporter, in IN Article eulogistic OF Car
ney. says:
mo one, who knows Mr.. Carney. can
doubt his soundness. ss . radical Repub'
| licsn."
In reply to this, we venture the pre-
diction, that when the test comes, every
Copper-J ohnson member Of the Legisfa-
ture. except. perhaps. the one from At
Gibson County, who may be controlled
by local pressure. will vote for Carney
which will be conclusive evidence that be
is regarded as Radical Republican.
Says the Reporter:
"He is, without doubt. next to Gene
raj Lee, the choice Of the Northern Tier.
We stoutly asserted the same thing. q
little over two years ago; but when it
was tried Ok carried just five ont Of
fifteen members from the Northern Tier,
aud all of them by close rub. The Eve
were all from this County-but three OF
them were for Carney as first choice. and
the other two agreed to swallow him. il
It was absolutely necessary. These other
two few the track, when it came to vot-
ing for Senator.
Again. the Reporter says:
"Our Representatives will consult the
interests Of their constituents. after the
: election of Gen. Lee is secured, to work
: and vote for the election of Governor
Carney as the other Senator"
We have all along hoped and believed
that Gen. Lees ambition was to be elect
ed to the Senate. not to become a sort o
tender to Gov. Carney, to smuggle vote
for him thst be could not have secured
directly from the people. But Just sucl
talk as the above, is what has brough
Lee into suspicion. and is calculated t
: weaken bis chances. If Carney stand
: any show for an election, Lee stands
u poor one 10 proportion. Once give Lee
D Southern Kansas adherents to understand
). that after his election is secured. his hom
d strength is going for Carney. that mo
Il mens Lee loses every Southern Kansa

o is elected, Lee is laid on the shelf, higl
e and dry. Whenever his friends set t

Carney and Pomeroy. although the latte
