The Great Speech Of the sctOte
Campaign.

The conflict has ended. The victory
of Republicanism is overwhelming. No
party ever come out SO ingloriously from
battle as Grecleyism. The great party
which has accomplished SO much in the
last twenty years has proven itself CON-
petent to manage our national affairs,
secure good government and protect its
citizens, and lis Presidential nominees
are Endorsed, as usual, by popular
vote of ut least 100000. The hue and
cry raised by the so-caIled party of re-
form, has secured but little confidence
for itself from the people and has gain
ed no strength for future campaign. 1t
is dashed in pieces by single contest,
and its rank and file have scattered in
decentralization.
The news from the States is glorious.
The following dispach was received last
evening:
New York, 10000 majority for Grant.
The Tribune says he will have $50 elactor-
III votes Greeley 90. The Herald says
Grants popular vote will be $4,000 /;
others say 100000; Maryland, Greeley,
1000. Wisconsin, Grant, $4,000 to 10
900. New Jersey, 1000 to 5000 kepuI-
Iican. Kentucky, Greeley, 5000. Louisi-
ana and Georgia both tor Greeley. Mis-
souri,, doubtful, claimed by both parties.
Pennsylvania, about 1900 for Grant.
Indiana, will probably be carried for
Grant from 10000 to $1,000. Illinois is
safe for large Republican majority. 1t
is estimated that Louisiana will be car
ried for Greeley by about 10000. Con-
nccticut goes for Grant by about $500.
The returns from Tennessee are too
meagre to Indicate the result. Grants
majority in Massachusetts, will be about
$4,000. Thirty towns in eight counties
of Mississippi give Grant 6,42l. Par
tial returns from about twenty-five coun-
ties Of North Carolina indicate that
Grant will receive in that State from
$4,000 to $4,000 majority. The Repub-
licans carry Michigan by at least $4,000
majority. Large Republican gains are
spoken of in West Virginia and il
is thought the State will go for Grant.
Grants majority in Vermont, will be
about $1,000. The Republican State
central committee of Iowa claim that
State by $4,000. Grant will get over
10000 majority in New Hampshire.
Virginia will give Greeley about 5000
majority. Grants majority in Maine,
will be aboat 1900. Grants majority
in Rhode Island, is S,237. Nebraska
goes for Grant by 10000. There is
nothing definite from Ohio. A semi
official dispatch from Washington says
tina. Alabama has gone 10000 for Grant.
The Liberal candidate for governor is
elected in Florida. The Republicans
claim Delaware by !, 800 TO 1000.
Kansas has done her duty nobly and
will give Republican majority of over
1000.

Maj. Anderson received letter yester-
day from Mr.. Weston, Of New York,
which states that the apples, vegetables,
ETC., sent through the instrumentality OF
Beverly R. Keim, general ticket passen-
ger agent of the Kansas Pacific railway,
to the American Institute fair, went
through without = scratch, and knocked
the socks of anything on exhibition
there" The following from the New
York World will be read with interest :
zone feature Of the display at the
American Institute Fair in this city is
very interesting to eastern people. Mr..
VIM. Weston, Of the Kansas Pacific rail-
way-whOse Guide OF that railway
route has been accepted by western trav-
elers us classic of its kind-has set
up at the fair most unique exhibition OF
the peculiar products, animals, vegeta-
bic, OF Kansas and Coronado. Here are
specimens OfappIes which took the prize
at the recent state fair at Topeka, stalks
Of corn eighteen feet high, beets weigh
ing twelve to sixteen pounds each, pota-
toes and sweet potatoes whose sizes, Is
the elder Weller would have SAID they
are "only exalted by their swectnesses,
superb pumpkins, squashes, ete.,ali from
the eastern part Of central Kansas, in
the vicinity Of Lawrence and Topeka,
corn sorghum, castor beans, cereals, hun
garian grass, peanuts, rye, and pumkins
raised on the experimental farms of the
company at Wilson's, Ellis and Pond
creek-respecively 2IO, 3O2, and 42O
miles west of the Missouri river, and l..
$50, 2,Ol9, and 3,203 feet above the tide

feet high, and Sonora white, Towzelle,
and spring wheat, volunteer and other
varieties Of wheat, and cora said TO grow
at the rate of seventy-three bushels u
the acre, raised within y radius OF ten
miles from Denver City, in Colorado.
This development Of Colorado wheat
and corn is especially noticeable, result.
ing as it did partly without and partly
with from one to two irrigatiOns a season.
One feature of this display which has
attracted wide attention is sod or block
of soil sixteen inches square, cut from
the high, rolling prairie, and having the
the grass or Texas curled mesquite grow.
ing on ITS surface.
From the rich appearance Of this soil
lifted from the very crust Of the falsely
termed " American Desert 1T nigh,
be supposed by eastern skeptics that this
sod had been cut from estern bottoms
but the fact that buffalo grass does not
grow in the bottoms even Of the buffalo
country, being killed BY the ranker and
taller grasses, and does not exist in the
line of the Kansas Pacific railway east OF
the sixth principal meridian, which Is
about $50 miles west Of the Missouri riv'
er. Four handsomely mounted buffalo
heads, a bevy Of grouse and quail stuffed,
cage Of live prairie dogs, the seals OF
Kansas and Colorado painted in oil Oh
two shields, and appropriate notices,
complete this illustrative display OF one
Of the most remarkable and enterpris.
sing lines of railway west OF the Missouri
river"

As we write the political auadrennial
conflict is at its height The most de-
cisive issues are ut stake. During the
late war there were those who were
steadfast friends of the government
Who were exultant over the triumphs OF
tie Union arms, or were depressed ut
their defeat, yet they were In each event
fSr compromise. The final successful
termination of the war and triumph OF
the principles Of liberty and equality be-
fore the law has convinced them that
the moral principles Involved would
have suffered; and the general results At
tanned far exceed the most sangu'nc cx-
pectations of the most radical prose-
cutors of the war. So in the existence
of the Republican party there have been
those who thought that the aggressive
policy Of the party was not likely to re-
suit in the establishment Of its Princi-
pies, and thought they discerned the
true channel through the late Liberia!
movement. These compromises were
further blinded by the PRONUNCIATION OF
the late Cincinnati baltimore platform,
which was framed to deceive the hungry
like o spoon-hook, made only to fish
with. Then the conflict which is now
raging is not SO much political principle
against political principle Qitcraliy) as
the policy to be pursued in enforcing
the principle. 1t is the same old war
fight between compromise and anti com
promise. For we: c these compromises
to stick by the Republican party,the late
Liberal movement would have been
almost insignificant compared to its late
strength.
What, then, arc the decisive issues at
stake? During the campaign many
issues have been unexpectedly revealed.
We find the opposition crying "recon-
ciliation," yet with the same breath
came the most vindictive personal abuse
hurled at our president. Did it hasten
reconciliation Asain, the issue was
raised to hand the reigns of government
to those with whom we would not com
promise, neither on the politica! nor battle
fields. And this issue, IN all its sisnifi
canoe, comprehends the most vital prin-
ciples of the Republican party, to the
ultimate triumph OF which it has thrown
its entire strength and in the overthrow
of which not even our compromiser
could be induced t. aid. Then in con-
junction with this, the charges against
Gen. Grant were to be repealed To ac-
quit the party, for he has been most
faithful executor of its avowed princi-
ples, and what has been charged against
him was charged against the ReP"bll-
can party. These issues will not be
at stake again, for this campaign VIII
be taken us the ultimatum, and the de-
cision rendered accepted as conclusive.
Another campaign will present entirely
new issues, when ten millions-pcr-
haps twenty millions-of voters will
be called to the polls to assert their
principles and political preferences.

Towns that make remarkable progress
in very short space Of time and are
known widely for enterprise and hustle,
have few property owners who refuse to
build or cell their lots to live, go-ahead
spirits who are ready and anxious to
build. Such men are curse to any
community, and still they boast and
howl wonderfully about their import
ance and now much they have done for
the town. II Salina had smaller num-
Der of such characters, We would very
soon see fine brick blocks erected where

RAILROAD AssEssNENr.-ln some coun-
ties of the State, the validity Of the act
known rs the Railroad Assessment Law,
Is being tested in the courts: The rail-
roads i'm most of the States, BY cOmbin-
alton, try to get possession Of the Legs
Iatures, in order to avoid paying taxes,
and get laws made to their advantage,
such IS an individual would not have
brass enough to ask. In this State, a
railroad company sends special car At
ter u railroad assessor, when he is going
TO Topeka to make assessment Of Rail
roads, and then on his return, sends him
home in special coach, stopping any
place he desires, and where lie can get
good meal. Some of these men were
elected, no doubt on account Of their
opposition to these railroad moDOpolies.

Error or WArcnMAN.-Will not The
Homestead pr.vision Of the new Cons.itu.
ton deprive the poor man Of credit aud
thereby do him 40 injury9
Right"
Our answer to the above question is no!
Because Gen are credited now not so much
because they have property out Of which
the debt cau be made but because they are
though. to Be honest and honorable. The
question is not what's be worth but is he
honest aud will he pay his debts? IL
man is honest and prompt III bis dealings
he can always purchase what he wants on
time. but If il is known that he is dishou
est aud seeks to avoid the payment Of bis
Just debts it matters 10. what he is worth
he has no credit, why? Because in few
hours he can make over all bis property to
biz wife or some friend aud avoid payment.
We would rather trust A. who has moth.
ing save bis honor and promptuess than B
who has a large farm aud oousoled himself
with the idea that he's good and never
pays till you sue him It Won. pay to do
business with uau whom you have to
sue.
But the Constitution says The home.
stead 4hall be 'exempt from forced sale
subject TO such regulations as may b. pre-.
scribed by law" Under this clause the
Legislature can and will pass law allow.
ing the husband or parent to wave the ben.
eft Of the homestead provision. Thus it
is 10 the power Of the poor man to soy. |
will or will not pledge my home to obtain
credit. The clause is god one and 90 poor
man can object it The objection limited
attn the question is urged BY the Radicals.
but it is only necessary to study the matter
carefully. to sec tina, all difficulty is reuov.
ed The object Of the homestead is not to
protec. men but women and Children
Men are able to battle selfish world but
what can the poor women do With her
houseful Of children? Asan evidence that
christianity aud human feeling demand
some protection for the poor against sud !.
den miufertune, the homestead has been
adopted 10 nearly every State 10 the
