GREAT CRY AND LITTLE WOOL

Our liberal friends in Wichita have
been whistling again to keep up their
courage. Another public meeting was
held on "Wednesday night at which i'm
ported big guns and small home anvils
made some noise. The principal lights
of the occasion were Maj. T.. q. Ross,
w. Perkins, esq, Judge Stribling, of
Texas, Judge Sumner, of Eldorado, and
a couple Of turpentine lamps and a few
dry goods boxes, all of which and
whom blazcd. Mr.. Perkins opened
the meeting by complimenting Grant
in the highest terms as a general and
patriot, but exprcsseda doubt as to his
fitness for the chief executive of the
country. Judge Stribling, of Texas,
followed him in congratulating the
people upon the continued peace aud
prosperity of the country" to which
every republican present responded a
hearty mcntal.amen. lie also honOrcd
Grant as general, but deprecated his
way of managing affairs in the south
crn states, denouncing him as a Caesar
or Nero. Nearly all of the entire
harranguc was i'm the interrogatory
form, nothing being squarely asserted
but, ''my friends, is it not SOP Major
Ross effort was rchash of what he
has been offering at other points. lie
cOmplimcnted Grant As a general, as
policy man, and a shrcwd financier,
but complained that he had received
presents and rewarded some of his Old
army comrades with office. 1t was
amusing to watch the VARYING express
sion of the mixed crowd, made up, as
it was, of Texas cattle men, northern
democrats and old time abolitionists
upon the one side, and out-and-out
Grant and Wilson men upon the other.
How gingcrly did Mr.. Ross speak of
the emancipation of $l2,OOO,O0O of
property, (4.OOO.OOO of mcn), and Gree
lcy's noble par: in bringing il about, and
how sober looked one element of the
crowd. and how softly did Judge Strib-
ling dcnominatc III. &. and his Tribune
the great educators Of the century.
Truly have we fallen upon wonderful
rimes.
The affair proved sleepy enough,
void of any show of life or interest
save the stir created by the executive
comittee OF the Grant and Wilson club,
WHO were taking the names Of such per-
sons rs had concluded to cast their lot
with the party Of union, freedom and
progress, with the party whose admin
istration has made our nation since the
late civil war the wonder and admira-
ton of the world.
We cannot give truer idea of the
animus of the meeting. of the points
attempted 10 be made by the speakers,
than by borrowing Greeley idiom and
saying: ANYBODY who says that Gree
ley amt true democrat. or that the
Union was not preserved by JEFF. Davis
4 Co, or that the democratic party did
not cmancipate the colOred race, is
william, horse thief, scOundrel, a
bar and dirty dog.
The meeting wound up by giving
thpee hearty cheers for Grant and Will
son, which the liberal fellows declared
was put up job, but which we believe
o. have been purely aPatriotic vent.
The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1872-07-26

Democrats claim five per cent. of the
republican vote for Greeley, and the
.WOrM comedies ten per cent. of the
democratic vote against him. If Grant
had 300. 900 majority in 1868, and loses
10000, and then gains 10000, his ma
jOrity will be i29,500. To this add
100000 cOlorcd votes, not cast in 1868,
and his majority VIII be 100000,
And this is the result of their own fig
urcs. We are content.

BOYS AS FARMERS.
A Capital Sketch fer Old Boys
and Yeung Boys.

There are many bright spots in
the hfe of farm boy, and | some
times think / should like to live she
life over again; ] would almost be
willing to be a girl if it were not for
the chores. There is comfort to a
boy IN the amount Of work he can
get rid Of doing. II is sometimes
astonishing how slow he can 90 on
an errand, he who leads the school
in race. The world is new and
interesting to him, and there is so
much to take his attention off when
he is sent 70 do anything. Perhaps
he couldn't explain, himself, why,
when he is sent to the neighbor's
after yeast, he stops to stone the
frogs; he is not exactly cruel, but
he wants TO see If he can hit 'em.
No other living thiRg can go so
slow as a boy sent on an eFrand.
His legs seem to be dead, unless he
happens to espy a woodehuck in an
adjoining lot, when he gives chase
to it like deer; and it is a curious
fact about boys that two viii be q
great deal slower in doing ANYTHING
than one, and the more veu have. to
help on a piece of work the less Is
accomplished. BOYS have a power
in helping Others do nothing; and
they are SO innocent about IL and
unconscious Il went as quick as
ever l could" says one boy. when
his father asks him why he didn't
