II The papers are demanding the dismissal OF
W. C. Webb from the Insurance Department, and
are calling upon the Governor to request him to
resign. Our private opinion is. that the Governor
does not care a Continental whether any man
supports Grant or Greeley; and it is pretty Ger
tain that he will not ask Webb to give mp what
he used such extraordinary means to bestow upon
him. There is but one remedy, and that is for the
Legislature to wipe ont the law, aud the Superin-
tcndent withit The Insurance law is aswindle,
to begin..with, and the Superintendent, creature
of the Governor, more powerful than the Govern
or himself Among hands, they succeeded in so
bamboozling the Legislature, that the law could
not be touched, except as the Superintendent rec
ommended Now, we hope to see the whole thing
cleaned out, like rotten cheese with all the
maccots that infcst it.

v One steal that was run through the II isla-
ture last Winter, concocted by the Auditor, was
little arrangement to take $500 from the Treas
ury, to pay some men for bobbing around over the
State and pretending to make some sort of rec
ord relative to school lands. 1t was arranged,
beforehand, that F. p. Baker was to have the
grab. The bill passed, and Thoman and Baker
have got the money. Now these two pals are
engaged in fighting Republican corruption, and
the Liberals propose to try to re-elect Thoman
State Auditor. This Thoman is the biggest rds-
cal in the State, and has been the means of steal
ing enough money from the Treasury to build the
other wing of the STATE House.

u tits reasonable to suppose that the Greeleys
brag about the strength of their ticket, and the
tremendous accessions to the party, is entitled Il
the same weight in every part Of the country
That it s mostly blow and but very little reality
is fairly illustrated by statement published in
the St. Joseph Gazette, the other day. A cores,
pondcnt of that paper, writing from somewhere
in Kansas coolly informed the public that they
need not be surprised if Kansas gave $1,000 ma
jority for Greeley! Nobody dreams that Greedy
has the remotest prospect of carrying Kansas.
Yet the above assertion is As reliable As any Of
the similar ones coming from all over the coun-
try.

An antique adage says, Old men fur counsel,
young men for action" We hold . sign most
hopeful when we see the young men Of tho nation
putting themselves in working attitude with the
Republican party; the party Of progrsss, of hus
manity and Of patriotism, in urging the re-elec-
tion of President Grant We noticed the fact
few days since thats young meas radliealleague
had been formed in this city. Nov we learn that
Albany, Troy, Rochester and ethor places in this
and neighboring States arc soon to follow tho
example Of New York city. Young men are al
ways the most enthusiastic political workers and
the most unsel6sh. They serve party from
consciencen, without hope of other reward than
the triumph of right Older men work under
promise of repayment in Office or jobs. Young
men fight for glory. In the tidal wave Of reform,
which in 1880 swept Van Buren and the Democracy
from power, the yOnng men took prominent
part, their mass convention in Syracnse in Sep
tember being the first display of that tremendous
popular enthusiasm which carried General Will
liam Henry Harrison into the Presidency.
SO, too, in 1850, when Abraham Lincoln dis
placed the old public funetionary, James Bne-
hanan. the brunt of the labor was assumed by
the young Republicans, who .nobly fought the
viency to the "patriarchal instution" of southern
slavery. "Wide-awakes who, for the most part,
had never voted for President, were largely in
strumental in rlecting Mr. Lincoln. In the war
our patriotic yonth were foremost and freest in
sacrificing their ease and jeoparlizing their lives
in defense of the national life, taking without
hesitation positions in the ranks while their col
der, older brothers waited for commissions and
promise of advancement. Young men fought
with Grant in the west, and covered themselves
with glory. They followed his banner ip Virginia,
and saw the confederate colors lowered at Ap
pomattox. In 1868 they testified their confidence
in the General whose sword let the life ont of the
Confederacy by giving him their votes. They
elected him President. Once again they are
marshalling for their favorite chief, forming
leagnes and clubs to promote his reelection, and
in this double assurance of the success
Of the Republican nominees in this campaign.
When the yonng men of the nation are all one
side of q question, no prophetic power is required
to foretell their triumph. We therefore hail the
young mems radical leagues. Their work and
their vote will re-elect Grant-Ner York Stan

Hon. 7. A. OsBoRN.-Wo understand that Thos
A. Osborn, of Lcavenworth, will be . candidate
for Governor. before the Republican State Con.
veution. He is an old Doniphan County man, and
although no longer one of ms, he is q firm friend
of our County; and if he were in the Governors
Office, we do not believe that the fact Of man
being resident of Doniphan County, would be
considered sufficient ground to withhold any fa-
vors from him. Tom. has always been stead
fast Republican, and possesses more ability than
has occupied the Gubernatorial chair for many q
long year.

" We have sometimes been led to wonder
whether, after all the fuss, Jim. Lane was not in
the right, in his local fight in Lawrence. In every
bolt from the Republican ticket in that County,
it has been led by the prominent Anti-Lane men,
and composed in great part of the same element.
They had 1t SO badly, that they opposed their
own party because Lane belonged to it; and they
became SO habituated to 1t, that they keep 1t up
since Lanes death.

The COYOTEs.-Wc heard q gentleman, the
other day, give good illustration of the terrific
noise kept up by the little squad Of Grceleys who
are to be found in every community. He said
they reminded him of the coyotes, when he first
came to Kansas. The noise they made was terri
flying, and he Thought they numbered at least ten
thousand. But when he came to investigate, he
found that there was just one coyote making all
the noise!

JUDGE HUBBARD.-Ws had brief call, on Sat-
urday, from Judge p. L. Hubbard, Of this Judicial
District. In this connection, we take pleasure in
referring to the fattering encomnms which have
been bestowed upon the Judge throughout the
District. He preserves dignity and decorum
upon the bench beiitting the place, and commands
the respect and confidence of the bar and the
public. His decisions are impartial and just, and
no suspicion Of corrupt motives has ever attached
to him.
From the expressions which came up from ev-
cry part of the District, the people seem to be
generally in favor of his election to the Office
which he now fills by appointment. From every
County in the District we have heard these ex-
pressions; and if he is candidate, there seems
to he no doubt of his In fact, if there are
any other aspirants for the place, We have not
yet heard of it.

~ The tremendous stampctlcs of Republicans
to Greeley, that we read about, are something
like the milk-sickness used to be in Indiana.
When a stranger inquired in a neighborhoodl
where he had heard that the malady prevail
ed, he was always informed that there was
none of it there, but that they had it just six
miles away. 1t was impossible to get nearer than
within six miles of the disease. Those Greeley
accessions are always just at some other place
than the one you happen to inquire at.
