WE ARE GLAD OF 1T.

W. c. Webb has gone liberal. We
are glad of it. We were satisfied long
ago that he was a dcmagoguc and pO-
litical shyster of the most sneaking
type, and now we think so stronger
than ever. He came within an inch of
being boosted out Of tine legislature of
the state in which he formerly resided,
for fraudulent practices, as the jour
mails Of the house, we think, plainly
show, whereupOn he came to Kansas,
since which time he has been attempt
ing to run the state; and he has ia Hen
little short of his ambition as far as
the executive is concerned. We
ask Governor Harvey how he feels
now! Didn't we all tell you so?
Can't you see by this time that too
much bull-headednes is not always a
good things.
This Webb is first-class blathcr-
skite-he has the '.jammers" to fear
full degree, and is a regular old politi-
cal dead-bcat, who has pulled the wool
over Governor Harvcy's eyes to such
an extent that he holds the best office
in the state-that of insurance super
intendent. He also managed to get
the reporters place and salary in the
supreme court.
1t is due the republican party of
Kansas that he be kicked out of his
present position. but whether he is or
not, we are glad that Webb has left
our party,

THEO. TILrON.

That ecclesiastical winc-bibber, that
hankcrer after Vic. Woodruff. on a
back roof on dark nights, that preach
er of morality but practicer Of the black
art, Thco. Tilton, who lost his place on
the Independent and in the estimation
of decent people long ago, is just now
writing Golden Age Horace Greeley
campaign tracts. We have been made
the recipient of few specimens, in
one of which he says that his paper
was the first to mention Greeley in con-
ncction with the presidency. OF course

amnesty, impartial suffrage and spe-
Gle payment" five years ago, but this
same Tilton who is now so lOud-mOuth-
ed in Grcclcy's behalf, then laughed to
scOrn the idea of his name in such
connection. Hear what he said in the
New York Independent OF the first
week of January, 1868.

he exercises as benciiccnt an influence
as he could perhaps if he were presi-
dent of the United States; still, if he
should be nominated by the Chicago

RINGING WORDS.

Senator Roscoe Conkling addressed
a large and enthusiastic republican
meeting this week at Cooper Institute,
upon the subject of Grant and his
defamers-dceds against works. lie
said: For twenty years il has been
my privilege to address my neighbors
upon political issues. Too much ar
dor has perhaps been among my faults,
yet no canvass has ever stirred NE so
much as this: no election has ever ap-
pcalcd SO strongly to my sense for fair
play. No convass within my memory
has ever been so full of foul play, in
justice and malice none has ever more
strongly tested the common sense and
generosity Of the American people.
Eleven years service in congress has
made me close observer of four pres
idcnts and many public men. If
among them all there is one, living or
dead, who never knowingly failed in
his duty, that man is l.. S. Grant.
There was forecast i'm giving him the
name of Sidney, for his greatest
quality is his magnanimity. If there
has been high official ever ready TO
admit his errors and correct them: if
there has been one who docs wisely.
firmly and well the things given him in
charge, that one is the soldier in war,
and the quiet patriot in peace who has
been named again b. every township
i'm forty-sixs tates and territories for the
great trus! he now holds. Yet this
man, honest. modest and proved by
his many deeds to be endowed with
generosity common sense, and moral
qualities adequate for the gratcst at
fairs: this man who saved his country
who snatched our nationality and our
cause from dispair and bore them Oh his
shoulder through the flame of battle.
in which, but for him, they would have
persisted; this man, under whose adj
ministration our country has fourished
as no one dared to predict this man
to whom nations gratitude and BEN
ediction are due, is made a mark for
ribald jests, OdiOus and grOundless
ISLANDERS. Why is all this! Simply
because he stands in the way of greedy,
ambitious politicians and schcmcrs.

THE REPUBLICAN CLUB.

As will be seen by reference to an
other column, a republican club has
been organized in Wichita. Some
thing more than one hundred and
twenty five names have been added to
the roll, Of such men as believe in the
doctrines of the great republican par
ty; who believe that in its maintcn-
ance alone will peace and prosperity be
preserved i'm the nation. The club has
raised the old flag on the republican
ramparts a banner that has inscribed
upon its folds emancipation, human
liberty, rights to all men, honor to
patriots, the payment of an honest ma
tiOnal debt, peace and Grant and Will
son. Wichita is all right. Those who
think that a majority of the men of
Wichita and Sedgwick county are 60
ing to cntrust the great interests and
principles that have been evolved in
the regeneration and publication of
this nation, to a lot of mongrcl sorc-
heads, who alone seek power aud place,
are much mistaken. Following the
cxcitment of the late Cincinnati-Balti-
more efIusiOn, and the unsccmly jum-
BILE Of principles and men, many stood
alOof or talked for talks's axe, but the
second, sober thought is returning.
and the solid men of the country are
announcing that they can afford to
take no such risks rs proffered by the
democrats and sorc-heads. Under the
administration of the great patriot and
soldier, u. S. Grant, which has been
marked for its honesty, for its econ
omy and for the rapidity with which
our national obligations have been
discharged, all will be well, as all has
been well during the past four years
of financial trial and political and gov
ernmcntal reconstruction. No man,
no republican ut least, who glOrics in
the results of the last eight years his
tory, who loves principle and loyalty,
can afford to desert the republican
party for something he knows not
what. We bid the republican club of
Wichita God speed.

TIE NEW BANK.

As noticed in our last weeks issue,
the Wichita Savings Bank has been
organized and started in our city. Mr..
Clark, the president, has had many
years experience in the business. and
has started half dozen successful
banks before, but into none Of them,
he SAYS, did he enter with such fiat
tering prospects as into this.
Many of our leading citizens have
taken stock in the company, thus in
surfing their care and support, and
making an additional guaranty TO the
reliability of the institution.
The bank is organized under the
state law, will do general banking
business, and is to have capital, when
paid up. of 100000. Judging from
the prosperity of banks here, and sim
liar organizations to this elsewhere,
it will be one of the most profitable
investments in the country to its stock
holders.
Sol. Kohn, the vice president, is too
well known as practical, systematic
and successful business man to need
comment from us. lie will always be
found at the bank, overlooking its af-
fairs, and ready to welcome his many
friends.
Mr.. Hyde, the cashier, has had many
years experience in the banking bust
ness, and came among us well recon-
mcndcd.
The directors for the first year are
A. NJ. Clark, Sol. ii. Kohn, A. A.
Hyde. W. =. Mcclure, w. A. Shannon.
ii. S. Hills. VIM. Greiffenstein, w. A.
Thomas and N. A. English; as good
business men, probably, as there is in
the country.
The examining committee are j. ii.
Todd, A. J. Blake and j. ii. Black.
who will see that the books and ac-
counts of the bank are kept straight.
AS to business, see card.
