brief notices of the men whom We hav.
heard stated will be candidates before ih,
next State Convention of the sc veraI Stat.
Ulcers that are voted for at:the next gen
eral election.
First in this lisl comessthe Office o
Representative in Congrssf. Sidney
Clarke will doubtless be ascandidate fol

furthermore. he ought 10 be elected. He

the attributes Of his Constitution when iIt
faithfully represents in Congress the dom
inant feeling of the people of his beloved
young State. That policy be does faith
fully represent. While true 10 the poliii
cal interests of the State, and an able re
Hector of the political sentiments of his
| constituents, be is also attentive to our
material Interests. His Ieru alton among
his colleagues fer reliability. stamina,
ability and radicalism. is good. The
longer lie stays al Washington, the more
useful will he be for his State. By all
means, lei him be sent back.
Col p. B. Plumb, OF EmpoEia, we have
heard spoken of as candidate for this
office. Ii there was not Sidney Clarke,
Plumb would be our man for Repreeen-
tative in Congress. We admire his
style 10 many things. He is naturally
radical, though his head got wrong OF the
Woman Suffrage question last fall. He
is energetic, pushing. dashing, and
knows not what the word ''fail" means
when labering for the accomplishment OF
an object. He believes In Kansas and It's
people. its bistory, its politics and It's glo-
rious future. He would make an able,
Industrious. and a faithful, creditable
r. preventative. Plumb is going 10 make
a GO ID deal OF noise in this State yet.
We have heard it whispered that Rev.
I. S. Kaliocb will accept the nomination
Tor Governor, ii the matter should be
urgently pressed upon him. Mr.. Kalloch
is head and shoulders above any other
man IN the Stale in points of ability and
educational requirements. As an ora or
We dou't believe ne has superior in the
West. Though he playeI smash with the
Woman Suffrage business last fall, aud
thus naturally .'Irrltated our iIe." caudor
c, mpels US to az NIT that he would make
a Governor that tie State would teel
proud of.
Geo. A. Crawford. Egg, is. we sus.
pect, by the tact that he is IndGstriously
circulating his pretty little memorial
speech that he delivered some time ago
on The dea!h of President Lincoln, aud
from various other DEMONSTRATIONS, fgur
ing for the Republican gubernatorial nom
iasIiou. Welt, aGs0Ese~is smart enough
to be Governor. His lille body encases
an awful big heart, aud ios tbs last two
or three years he has been conducting
himself so admirably that We would not
fear of growing emaciated if be should
succeed in Obtaining .he nomination.
Some of the newspapers Of the State
are recommending the Republicans to
make Ex-Governor Carney our next CUB
ernatorial nominee. Carney seems TO
have more lives than Cat. He is sup
posed 10 have been politically killed two
| or three times. yet he seems to still sue
cessfully buffet the political pillows. We
have been one of those whc supposed Mr..
Carney to be the incarnation of dema-
goguery. yet upon better acquaintance
with the gentleman We have come TO the
conclusion that his greatest crime is the
| fact that he has money. He Is the best
abused and we believe the least under
stood man there Is in the Stale. 1t was
| charged az Topeka last winter. during the
Senatorial champaign, that ne was a con-
servative and JohnsOnite, when the TACT
is he was as radical as any man the State
contained. He was the first prominent
man in the State that ever advocated ne
gro suffrage. audi during the last cam.
paigp, when many politicians seemed to
be afraid TO commit themselves on this
question. he manfully advocated the poll
cy OF enfranchising the negro, with both
voice and pen. With all os Senator Pom
eroy's virtuous and pbilsntaropic preten-
sioos. We believe there is more soul and
liberElity in one of Governor Carney's
lit,.e toes than in The whole of Senator
Pomsroy's masledoDie individual corpo-
| ration. as many of our charitable, educa-
| li01al and religious institutions can testi-
| ~. Mr.. Carney is a man of more brains
| than he has been given credit for. His
| splendid success ia business is ample ev-
idence that he is q successful 6nancIer.
and his successful administration while
Governor Of the S ate is proof that he is
com petent 10 be gubernator.
In case of an emergency In the nomi-
mating convention aud IL is found that the
convention canuo. well harmonic on a
candidate. We presume that Colonel
Warren Willamette Henry Laurence will
consent 10 be the nominee. Lawrence is
I not yery ambitious for official honois. but
he is an accommodating and patriotic
gentleman, and will do anythiDg reason
able 10 advance the interests of the party
He las the ability to make good Gov.
ernor and We believe he would make 3
successful aud popular one.

and who objects? His extensive legis'a-
