The Republicans Of this county have de
cided advantages over their opponents in the
present contest, Notwithstanding the draw
backs which may be upon ~, and it Is their
duty to pursue the advantages which fortune
has nov placed at their disposal.
The campaign ought to warm and grow
red-hot until sunset on the 9TH day Of No
yember. We wish to see it iven up until
the old var horses will sniff the battle and
enter into the fray. Let our candidates miss
no appointment, but double their ticks upon
the foe, and stir up every friendly voter to
20 to the poles On the day Of the election.
Give the people good josslins and they
will respond. We wish to &c them out On
both side., and fair vote polled, not doubt
ing for one moment that our triumph will be
secure in the end. There il no use talking.
no one party is responsible for the good name
of the County Of Leavenwoth, - represented

All the notoriety which Denver now seems
to possess, rests upon the progress OF the
Narrow Gauge road from that city, and since
Leayenworth has also commenced operations
we may Judge as veil, that the name Of our
div will soon become once more a familiar
household word all over the land But not
no, only as matter of fame abroad, but OF
encouragement from within, do We congrat-
ulate our citizens on that spirit which seems
to move them at present, Of encouraging and
sustaining home enterprises. Of making this
a home market for all manner of domestic
manufactures, snd of aiding each other in
the endeavor to build up the city on the most
solid and endurabls foundations. The pres
ence of the thousands of men At work on the
public improvements around us, is not too
sensibly felt as yet, but before the winter is
gone they will have given an iopetus and
life to trade which has not been felt for many
DAYS. 1t il thus that in assisting q nsighbor
We help ourselves.
And besides the railroads which are being
constructed, there are other propositions on
loot to establish manufactures here, which
| meet with universal approval. We would
suggest to the manufacturers here already, Of
high az well as low estate, that as they are
peculiarly interested, that they take hold Of
this matter, call meeting Of manufacturer
and mechanic -, and organize rthe deve
opment of new branches Of industry or the
expansion of all such as are here, that vii
bear expansion, and we dou't not that the,
can bear it to large and prosperous degree
If this suggestion is worth anything, az
matter Of home enterprise, we hope to sex
it acted upon in some manner. Consolidate
and organize home capital with home labor
and we will soon become the rival OF thu
larger manufacturing centers Of the East.
And meanwhile there are other ProPos.
tons now mooted, which are worthy Of con
sideration. II any city in the West is il
need of first-class Opera House, it is Leav
enworth. The proposition to renovate ant
ref, the present building, by Mr.. John A
S.eyens, has met both with approval ant
condemnation, and as the price which h
has fixed is so low, it has addressed itself Il
the good will of our people, at time whe'
economy is a study in every family. W.
leave ITS merits to the consideration OF th'
Citizens Association, whose committee will
beyond a doubt, report honestly and fairl.
upon the matter. But it has been condemn
ed as being too cheap, and We think 30 our
selves. II We build at all, let US build
tirst-class thea:er in every respect.
Therefore, we emphatically say that TIN
city mus, have public hall, suitable to tn
comfort and taste of its inhabitants and L
those artists and Lecturers, who wish to visi
US during the usual season Of the year. Tn
need of such place is more evident to da!
than i, was one year ago, and as we grow it
want grows with us. Therefore, We ,!een
the investment q safe one, and trust that thi
home enterprise among the many offers
which are now going on, will receive tn
hearty encouragement of all our people.

A letter from Stuttgart, IN local Term an
contemporary, makes the surprising state
ment that the Gypey Parliament is expected
to assemble soon near Canstatt. The an
nouncement il seriously made, and no joke is
intended. 1t seems that the Parliament in
question meets only Orce in seven years, and
consists OF delegates from all the various
countries of Europe in which Gypsies wander
or reside. Nor is the ''Great King of the
Gypsies'' a mere fiction. His name is
Joseph Reinhard, now IS years old, and he
lives in Muthlangen, near Gmuend. An in
teresting thing TO know il the tact thai he
has been the husband Of seven wives and is
the father of forty-five children. In the
United S,a.es We know little by actual ex-
perience concerning the strange wandering
lace, 50 iamiliar in Europe, the character
and doings of whose members have furnished
such entertaining materials TO some o the
great novelis,s Of England, Spain, France,
Germany and Russia. Only from time to
time, and at long intervals, a band Of the
vsgabonds makes an appearance among TIE,
and surprises Observers as much by what it
does not do a ty what it does. Familiar
through books and tradition with the per-
formances of the class when camping near
villages and farm yards in Europe Ameri-
cans are sometimes puzzled to know, or even
disagreeably disappointed to discover, that
their Gypsies seem to be |. reformed and
highly moral people. Neither stealing
chickens nor poisoning pigs, nor seeking to
doctor horses, previously made i'll
merely to be cured, they might
readily get credit if they asked it for the pre-
tense by which their ancestors, in the time
of Oueen Elizabeth, used to impose on the

few days since we were in the Office Of the
Kansas Former, and were shewn some sweet
potatoes sent to the editor Of that paper BY
A. D. Appleby of St. George, Pottawatomie
County, where they had taken the premium.
One Of them, the largest, weighs eight
pounds, seven ounces, ia eighteen and half
inches long, and six.een inches in circumfer-
ence. It takes just seven to make one
bushel. Eleven bushels were raised from 100
plants. Is it possible that larger potatoes
grow ?-Lea,enrorth Commercial.
Several weeks ago, ne recorded a larger
one. We we're presented with sweet potato
