The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1872-08-02
,.o,,, a. harm ,be district the meeting,

adjourned sine die after organizing
and without making any expression as
to choice. Ny humble judgment is
that it-would have been better for the
people, the bench snd bar if y full rep
rescntation Of the bar had been pres
ent and made a nomination and stood
bv it. As it is now running, either
the candidate for judge will be nomi-
mated by political convention Ill
which there will be more or less trad
ing on the state senatOrship, thereby
imperiling an honest expression OF
opinion in the matters of fitness and
ability, or else we shall have three or
four candidates running, while we cx-
perience the hazard of having all unfit
man foisted upon us, and perhaps one
fourth of the votes of the district will
elect the successful man. There is
another view of this trading question
that ought to be considered. Howard
county is not in this senatorial dis
trict. and in case of a combination on
the Judge and senator, Howard would
have just ground of complaint and
perhaps bolt the nomination. Espe-
cially is this pertinent when we con-
slider that Harvey and Reno counties
are in the senatorial district and not
i'm the 18th judicial district.
A CALL.
The republican central committee OF
this county will notify the electors OF
the county that at the August 29th
county convention that is to select del
egates to the two state conventions,
delegates will be elected to attend a
jndicial district convention, also dele
gates will be elected to attend sena-
tOrial district convention, said lasttwO
conventions to be held at different
times and places to be hereafter made
known by mutual agreement of all the
counties interested, ut which the basis
of representation will be established.
Greenwood, Howard and Sumner
counties have, through their respect
i've central committees agreed on this
manner of electing delegates and Ipre-
sumo the other counties, will be con-
suited and cooperate.
THE GREELEY
contagion among republicans herea-
way has made its appearance in very
mild form-few cases of untimely
carrying off, being reported. The
republicans of Cowlcy, as of the state,
believe in holding the party together
and wedding out its evils Of flesh and
policy. Because this man holds the
strings or that plan is not adopted We
have no cause for abandonment. | be-
lieve, however, that if the coming state
conventions will pronounce firmly il
respectful language against Messrs
Pomeroy and Clarke that the part!
will settle to the bed rock of public
confidence. While it is strong by man!
thousand majority in the state it Ger
tainIy has not the excuse of inabilit!
when called upon from within ant
without the state to drop ObjectiOna
BILE public servants.
THE COMMONWEALTH,
impotcntly blind, secs no glimmer o
excuse for those republicans who
feeling that Objectionable men hav
control of the Kansas republican party
seek relief in new organizations. vii
the Commonwealth say to those wan
dcring brothers, stay with us and W
will aid you to put better men in tn
places of bad oncs?" OF late nothing
appears in the state paper bat bite
and agonizing editorials upon III. u
Mainly personal in its manner of treat
ing the national candidates, it reptile
when quizzed on the POmeroy ques
ton that nothing but principle shout
enter into the state canvas-persOn
and personality should be eschewct
One would think on reading the stat
paper that the grave and difficult r.
. sponsibilitv of saving Kansas froi
Grcclcyism rested with it, and yet
trow YOU no "liberal' organ is
great an auxiliary to ii. &. ism. Low
