Farewell.

With this issue Of the X ansas State Rseon
that paper ends its existence a. "daily,
and the undersigned sewers his connection
with the press Of Kansas.
1t is customary when an editor leaves tn,
profession, particularly alter term Of year,
that in making his farewell bow, he also in
dulge in "few remarks" These remark.
are usually complimentary to his patron,
and hts successor, and are very frequently in

torial career, do not propose TO add to my
sins Of omission or commission by uttering

commenced the publication Of the Kan
sas State Record in February 1863, nov
nearly nine years ago. Topeka was ther
little more than a hamlet, containing per.
haps 900 Inhabitants. A town of great
hop but with little prospect of realization.
From the day took hold OF the Record

lieve the numerous gentlemen who at differ.
ent times have called me ''pet names, have
never called me loafer or an idler.
1t is unnecessary for me 10 review the po-
litical conflicts which have ragged from the
year 1868 onward for yean. 1t Is enough,
for me to say that in all those fights, bitter
and merciless as they were, the Record always
"took hand" Right or wrong, it was al
ways somer!ec, and did not parley. or dilly-
daily, or skulk, or whine, or sneak, or sit
shivering on the top rail Of the fence waiting
Till the last moment to decide on which side
to fall of. The magnitude Of the fight made
no difference. Whether it was contest for
United States Senator or town constable, the
Record had its preference and expressed it.
We, or perhaps it is more proper to say,
!, think that this work was not all expended
in vain, as far AZ the promotion Of the in
terests Of certain politicians was concerned.

The Eecord has ceased TO live, and We
publish to-day the card Of F. p. Baker. Esq
explaining the causes Of its demise.
The Commonwealth has purchased the

begun in this city, is extending. We regret
the loss Of the Record, but We congratulate
the Commonwealth for many good reasons FOL
its new accession, pecuniariIy, professionally
and politically. No doub. that it will con
tinue to prosper, and We wish it all the good
imaginable.
