KALLoOH L WALKER IN EAPORIA.
A R0using Mestirg.
Manhood Suffrage Ably Advocated.
Female Suffrage Handled Without
Gloves.
A Rousing Meetir g.

Emporia was favored With ppseches
from Hon. I. s. KaIloch ard Hon. I. II.
Walker last Saturday night in favor of
manhood outrage aud against female
suffrage. SIR. Walker spoke first.
aud all clAeeses admit that Lis speech
Was a .nost able one. We cannot attempt
8 synopsis of his address. The questions
Al issue were sIftsd TO the bottom. He
atsted the case clearly in regard 10 The
negro, claiming that from every jupt con-
sideratiou the loyal people were under OBJ
legations to give the ballot to the negro.
His argument agsiost female suffrage is
considered, by maoy, the soundsst get
made against the neA'ure. and its iuf1
ence is greatly augmented by the fact tha.
Ar. Walker impresses all with his SINGER
ity. He is a man of uIblsmishsd char
acter. end high order of siatesmanship.
His ultsrances were well received by the
audience. and frequently applauded.
Mr.. Kslloch followed ia a humorous
and telling speech against knials suffrage
His sentences cut ike two edged sword,
utterly demoli hing the fallacies and dem
agogusism of the measure. We don't
wonder That the long haired reformers
who have been persmbulaIing tie State
are down on him. 10 him this measure,
which 'goes down beneath our homes
sud our alters." finds foe with which
they cannot cope. and hence their bitter
personal fight on him. They havs been
"schreeching" Kalloch's nams in every
schOOl-hOnse. but Kalloch still lives. and
gives them home hurts that disturb their
digestion, and their dreams. The meet
ing WAS grand success. A few of the
female sutfragers were taken suddenly iii
and left, and the rest couldn't see aay
point in sithes Of the speeches. We still
believe that Lyon county is good for FIVE
hundred majority against female suffrage.

STICK TO THE OLD PARTY.

This is,our last issue before the election.
end We feel like saying last word to Re
RaOiicans. You are aware that the party
has just suffered partial defeat ia Ohio.
Pennsylvania and California, and very
considerable losses ia other States. Fig
urea show that these defeats and losses
come from divisions and luke warmusss
On the part Of Republicans, aid not go
much from any reaction or Democratic
gains. Now, We say stick to the good
old Republican party. II has done for
she country more than any Other party
ever did. Il brought the country eafsly
through waI; il abolished slavery in
America; Il has given the Pacific Rail
road to the country. Il has done many
ether good things for tie eauntry. Il
has on hand the great work of Recon-
struotiou unfinished. Republicans. are

That's the question for every Republican

sro in position to turn back that tide.
Will you be true to your past history, OF
will you let prejudice drive you from the
trenches? Negro suffrage is the most
important issue before the people. lis
che unavoidable result Of the Recoustruc.

Il. sooner or later, or go down as a party.
Tske your choice, but reject before you
decide against your party. We have nc
sympathy with thoss who say lst the par

frightened By the result in Ohio and 9TH
sE States. The Republican party has ex-
ptrisnced reactions" before. This is
very mild aud light visitation to that
which it endured 10 1862. 1t was struck
with blast that year which its opponents
claimed would send it the bottom, but it
quickly righted up aud sailed triumph
Gntly into port. II Kansos is true it will

10 1862 the issue was the emancipation
