CYRUS LELAND, JR., Chairman.
The Convention, and lhe Ticket.
The Convention that met at Topeka.
last week, excited intense interest. and
called together the largest crowd ever as
ssmbled At the Capital. There were near
ly 200 Delegates in the Convention. and
several Thousand persons. from oil parts
Of the State, were there Is spectsiors. H.
WAS an exception to the Conventions that
have heretofore met in Kansas. The rule
has been, that about bslf the Delegates
have come up prepared to sell to the high
est bidder. But at this Convention, we
do not believe there was single Delegate
bopght. All the buying that wss done.
was previous to the election Of Delegates;
but every mans vote in the Convention,
agreed with what be professed upon his
first arrival in the city. The people have
ct length aroused, and have commenced
the work of routing ont thieves and cor
ruptionsits.
Personally. we ought to be satisfied
with the ticket; for it is composed almost
wholly OF that much talked OF "slate"
that we put forth. several months ego.
We believe that every man on our ''slate.
whose name came before the Convention,
was nominated. Another fact worthy Of
mention is. that with Q single exception.
the candidates are oil poor men. or de-
pendent upon their daily occupation for
support: and all of them togsther could
not buy Delegate. So there is bar to
the charge of brit cry. OF the very Begin
ming.
D. P. Lowe, our candidate for Con
gress. is at present Judge Of the Fort
Scott Judicial District He is 46 years
Of age. and native Of New York. but re-
sided in Cincinnati for some years before
coming to Kansas. His salary as Judge
is his sole means Of maintaining his fam.
lily, as bis legal practice was, previously to
being called to the bench.
James NJ. Harvey. previous to bis cleo
tion, two years ago. was farmer: now.
his income amounts to the $4,000 salary
be receives as Governor. He has stolen
nothing during his term Of Office. and
therefore is not rapidly sccumulating
riches.
P. P. Elder, the Candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor, is On old settler of Kan.
sss. and is at present banker at Ottawa.
He is the only man Of means on the tick
ct; bat as the salary of the Office is only
$500 q year. At the highest. it is ecsrcely
probable that be spent much money to
secure the nom ination.
VIM. d. Smallwood. the candidate for
Secretary Of State. is the son of one OF
the pioneers Of Doniphan County. and
has resided here from his childhood. He
commanded Q colorsd company during
