We notice that On effort 10 being made.
[ engineered BY The Lswrsocs Journsl. OF
courss,) to ipducs the Republicans Of
Kansas to urge this renegade for the po-
,ition of Secretary Of Wsr. His strikers
veil know that be is at the mercy Of .
Rspublicsn Senate. and thsy want to
make instruments of K Ksnsas Republicans
to work him in. We are sorry to Gee
that several Of the Republican papers Of
the State are catching at the bsit. and
the proposition. Their srgu-I
ment is. that sincs supporter Of johnson
mus. be appointed. let us try and get .
K .usss man: aud that Ewing is the best
qualified. and is known to have Repnbli.
can predictions, and all that sort Of
thing. This is the very poorest argu-
ment 10 the world, and we are sorry to
know that there are Republicans Timber
enough to offer il. Ewing's Republican
proclivities will do the party just about
Is much good as those Of JEFF. Davis.
What fsvors would Ewing show the Re.
publiosns Of X ansaa. II be were in power?
Hs would then. as be is now doing, use
bis whole influence to defeat the party.
Why. even since Kansss Rsputlicsns
have bsen beslobbsring him with praise.
be has written letter. stating that be
cannot consent to support Gen. Grant for
the Presidency, until he is satisfied that
be is opposed to the policy Of the Repub
Iican Congress. Urge Ewing's appoint
meut because be is K snsas man, indeed!
That is the very reason why We should
OPPOSE hin. Who does not prefer on
open, honorable enemy to a sneaking.
renegade traitor, sll the time? Ameri.
csns who weps for the fate Of Andre.
would have rejoiced to see Arnold hung
1t is said that Ewing fought gallsntly
to crush the rebellion. and that his 10y
atty is undoubtsd. We doubt it. HI
went into the army with q commission
in his pocket, and certainty Of securing
rapid promotion. through the influence o
powerful friends. Military promotion h
desired as . stspping.stone to high polit
ical position. Sel6shness sent him init
the army. ss it is the maia-spring Of al
his actions. He is selishness from tn
crown Of his head to the sole OF his foot
and works only for the glory and aggrsn
dizsmsnt Of Ewing. He would sscriic
the most devoted friend he has, to secur
some personal advancement for himselI
His military achievements most likely t
be long remembered by the people @
Kansas. were his campaign sgainst tb
loyal executive officer of a Kansas city
and the incompetence or neglect that per
mitted the fairest town in the State to b
laid waste. and its citizens murdered
And having " fought to crush the rebel
lion." he is now working with oil hi
might to restore the rebels to politica
power; and he proclsims that he vii
not suppor. the greatest General Of tn
war for ths Presidency. unless be know
that General to be in favor OF giving tn
political power of the South into th
hands OF rebels in preference to loyal men
Is such a mans loyalty undoub,ed?
| We are told that be is incorruptibIs
Yes, as he is loyal! He is engaged i
| the claim and law business, ct Washing
tos. and is the partner of Mr.. Browning
Secretary Of the Interior. Browning. Q
course, is above taking bribes; bat uhe
any man wants f.t Office in the gift {
the Secretary. or some wealthy robbcr
seeking to perpetrste a big swindl
through the favor Of the Interior Depart
ment, be goes to Ewing, pays him
handsome bonus. and receives recon
mendatiou for the thing be is after. Sec
retary Browning complies with Ewing
request, and of course, as his partne,
shares the proceeds. By this means the

This is the style Of Ewing's integrity!
Whenever the dog-dsys spprosch.
is natural to wsrn the public sgsins
msd-dogs. and to publish reputed RENE
dies for their bite. So, whenever electio
time spprosches. we make it q point t
warn the people against the influences Q
Ewingism. For this we have sewers
times been ridiculed BY papers OF th
STATE. that seemsi to think we were an
necessarily alarmed. We think not. an
the people will end it out. il they ar
not vigilant. There are men in ever,
