of the White Cloud Chief. We infer the
eiitor still receives his groceries from
Carney. And swe furthermore surmise
be "lives high"
Wbereupon the editor Of the Wysn-
dotte g sze,te has fresh attack Of pho
bia. The mere mention Of Csrney's
name always throws the editor Of the
G.zstte into tsutruma. and be goes to
singing bis '.b~iches" around in The
most reckless manner. Why. it is only
q short tine since he threatened to tesr
bis shirt. or do something else desperate.
il. certain papers IN the State didn't qoit
speaking respectfully Of Carney.
But the truth is. the Chief has not ex-
pressed . preference for Carney for the
Senate. or for any other man-it does
not even know whether Carney is Q csu-
didate Tor the Senate. We have said
very little on the Senatorial question. and
that little has been in the shape Of items
complimentary 10 gentlemen who have
been mentioned in connection with the
Office. Carney was one. bat We did not
speak more fsvorsbly Of him than Of two
or three others. !.
1t /. - good % . circus to see how GER
tain pspers in Kansas take on whenever
Carney il sl'uded TO. II one speeks Of
him in terms Of ordinary decency. they
seem to Imagine that Carney hss forked
over . hundred dollar greenback to pay
for the notice. 1t is allowable to speak
civilly OF any other man. no matter what
his character and standing; bot to men.
ton Csrney's name uncoupled with aI
least dozen foul epi.hets. is q misde.
mesuor that cannot be allowed to pass
unrebuked. "A corrupt demsgogue. q
swindler. Q sbyster. q debsuchee. an ig.

ply to him: the more outrageous and
untruthful. the better they like them.
We suppose it is true tbst Mr.. Carney
never had the advantage Of high clsssi.
csl education. Whist education he hes.
he picked up mostly himself. 1t is Of .
kind ths. is practical and useful. and il
no discredit to him. But be does the
best be can with whs. hs bss. and does
not purposely violate the rules Of COM
mon sense ortbosrapby for the sake ol
being called odd end eccentric. By his
own efforts. he has risen from the posi
tion of errsud boy and roustabout IN q
store to the head of the most extensive
business houss 10 the State. II be hes
made money. it h,s b,sn by his business
tact and energy. Ths object Of busi.

fool il be does not improve his opportu-

We have lately read in paper how
Carney swindlss and sells out the people
who place him IN responsible positions.
The people of'Ksnsss once placed him in
the highest and most responsible Office 10
