Our Ticket.

1t is scarcely necessary for us to say much to
the people of Doniphan County in favor of the
ticket nominated last week. Inc men are All
known and tried-known to he of the very best
men in the Coanty.
FIJI Dreuning, candidate for Senator, has oc-
cupied the position before, as well as that OF
member of the Lower House. He has always
discharged his duties satisfactorily and honora-
bly, with view to the public interest. He was
one of the first to respond to the call for troops
to fight against the rebellion, and was the first
Kansas man to feel rebel lead, which he did in
the successful effort to capture the rebel flag at
Iatan. At Wilson's Creek, the first battle in
which Kansas troops participated, he was severe
" wounded in the hand, which disabled him for
further service. For some years, he held the Of
fee of Deputy Assessor Of Internal Revenue In
this position, as in every other that he has filed,
he conducted his business with the strictest in
tegrity, and with view to the public interest.
Frank Brown, the candidate for District Clerk,
enjoys . popularity of which any man might be
proud Not only is he the nominee Of both wings
of his own party, but the Democracy have virtu
ally indorsesl him, by making no nomtpation for
the Office. When a man has held an Office for
six years in young State, the population of
which is constantly changing, and where almost
everybody is Office hungry, this Endorsement by
all parties is high compliment to his integrity.
Joel Holt, our candidate for County Attorney,
assumed the duties of his office two years ago,
with but little experience. He has filed the
place well, and generally satisfactorily. He has
the ill-wil of public offenders aud their friends,
because he has ever been vigilant in bringing
them to Justice; but on the other hand, be has
the favor of the better class of citizens, from
which he will receive large vote, regardless of
party AND nominations.
John C. Gordon, candidate for Probate Judge,
has held the Office for eight years, and no COM
plants have ever been made against him. The
fact that he has been four times elected, each
time against determined opposition, seems con-
elusive that majority of the people are satisfied
with him.
D. d. Rose, our candidate for County Superin-
teudsut ef Public Instruction, is . teacher OF ex-
perience, who has long been employed in the
public schools of the County, and is therefore
quainted with them, and knows their wants.
His education, combined with his practical expe-
rience, pec,diarly fit him for the Office which he
has held by appointment for several months past,
and has devoted his time in making himself EN-
cient in Its administration. Hislabors . teach
er have been, to large extent, among the
schools of Wayne Township, where his popnlari-
ty is great, and where he will receive hand
some support from the people, no matter what
the trading politicians may do
All in all, better ticket was never presented
to the people of Doniphan County. 1t is well
worthy of their support, and we have faith that
it will lie elected.

Of Hor,ce's sswing around the circle" the st.
Louis Dsnecst very truly says:
aHis trip in this direction was excused by the
plea of . long standing engagement to deliver an
address at the Cincinnati industrial Exhibition.
But "A in Nov Hampshire, where he pretended to
visit the pstsrnsl rcof, which he never reached,
and in Maine, whittier he ostsnsibly went to visit
the old coupanions of bic youth, whom he con-
yeDivntly filled to 6nd, 90 in Cincinnati he read
ily frrot The object Of his mission. OF the twen-
ty.fvur bours of his stay in the city he devoted
barely two 70 the Exposition, while the rest was
spent in delivering rambling political speeches
aud holding eleetioneering levees. The speeches
which he has delivered during his trip have been
A lladyised - the errand itself He has present
ed the pitiable spectacle which it is fair to pre-
sume would characterize his administration were
he through any possibility to he elected-that of
q r-brsined, visionary and foolish talker, held
in partial restraint and governed far rs possi-
Bile by the chosen representatives Of the party
with which, until his ambition captured his judg-
ment, his whole life has been at enmify. In re-
sponse to their bid he has talked rebel sympathy
TO old rebels, and the glOries of an undivided
country to Union soldiers, State rights to seces-
sionists, and radical abolitionsm to enfranchised
colored people. That he now and then blunder-
ingiy forgot his cue is not to be wondered at nor
that forgetting il. be made the stupid errors
which chagrined bis guardians and set the whole
country in . broad grin.
! ''To say that the crowds which have gathered
ut his approach and which have patiently listen
81 to his rambling pletitudes are an indication
Of Sympathy with him and the movement which
he represents, is simply absupl. 1t might with
equal propriety be affirmed that the curious
throngs which haunted the quarters Of the Spot
ted Tail bshd during their recent visit to this
city, weS composed Of sympathizers with the
Sioux aa.s abettOrs Of their hair-raising expedi-
tiOns. It Is modest estimate that Of every five
people who listen to one Of Mr.. Greeley's har-
angues. three will vote for Grant, and the other
two will live to repent their squandored ballots.

AccTDENr.-A young man by the name of VIII
son, residing at Doniphan, while ont hunting in q
boat on the Missouri river one day last week
met with a sirious accident which resulted in the
loss Of his right arm at the shoulder joint. Hit
gun was resting on the bottom Of the boat, and
the mnzzel in close proximity to his arm, when,
by some means, it exploded, discharging its con-
tents into his arm above the elbow, making q
frightff wound and carrying away most Of the
MUSCLE. Modification soon set in, when it be
came necessary tn amputate. Dr. Geo. l.. Lewis
of this city, with Dr. Crook, of Doniphan, perform
ed the operation. The young man ut last &C
counts was doing well.
Kansas paper tells about q man who attemp.
ted to steal public rOad which ran through his
farm. One Of the plainest cases of highway rob.
berry ever heard Of
Winter wheat is in splendid condition all over
Kansas.
The Kansas Dunkards are holding q commu.
nion meeting at Centropolis. They number
about 10000 in this State.
Quails are 50 thick in Osage Mission that they
seek printing Offices for hiding places. The Trans
cript Office was beseiged in this way last week
and the ruthless villagers stoned them out, and
even went 50 far to break the windows in order
to give free egress to them.
The Ellsworth Reporter says there are just seven
teen sndA quarter miles car loads Of cattle there
waiting for shipment, according to actual calcu-
latiOn.

The "Liberal" sad Democratic County Con-
vention, which met here, last Saturday, repre-
sented all parts Of the County. The "Liberal
part Nit was scarcely visible to the naked eye
It reminded us Of regular old Democratic Con.
vention twelve yeau axo. Old patriarchs, whu
bad not been seen In Coaveution since the days
of Sscesaion, were there in all thsir glory. They
rakcst mp one colored man somewhere, and
brought him in ~ = delegate The old liner
would cock their hssds side-wise at him, and
grin; and occasionally they would pluck some
body, and call attention to the "colored delegate,
in manner to signify that It was pretty tongh
bat perhaps they could ring in few soft-Shell'
BY that means.
Then, their ticket-it is composed Of the very
hardest quality Of Democrats, from top to bot
tom. And it 10 as it should be. The Greeley
party in Donphan County is composed Of Demo
crats. There are not enough Republicans in it L
entitle them to . representation ON the ticket.
Mr.. Leonard, Of Highland, their nominee fol
State Senator, they pretend to claim, is Liberia
Republican. The fact 10, be is, and has been, Z
regular Democrat. They also speak very
grstifed manner of his wealth. As VI have thu
story, he went into the army as . Quar-. srmaster
and poor; he came ont with $4,000 in Govern
ment bonds. So much for his wealth.
For District Clerk, they showed no desire t.
buck against fate, but LEFT the track clear fol
Frank Brown.
For County Attorney, Col. D. N. Johnston, o
Troy, 10 the nominee. He came to Doniphar
County before the food, and during days when
the nemnsr.tin party lay dormant in the County
ha III L..
and swear at himself, to make sure that he wa,
alive, and still Democrat. 1t is nip and tucl
between him and the Post-ofiice candidate for thu
same Office, which is the best Democrat. But ths
Colonel did not have . fair chance. The offel
was not made him, that if he would turn Repub
licsn he could have the office.
For Probate Judge, they nominated Robert
wilkinson, an Old Line Democrat, of fnrr- Oai
Township. Mr.. Wilkinson is good mi p, and i,
popular in his Township. He is at prssel Town
ship Trustee of Burr-Oak. -
For County Superintendent, they nominated
Charles Kearney, of Belemont, hard-shell Dem
ocrat. He wants the Office about as much as
frog wants two tails.
For Representative of the First District, they
nominated J. F. Mauck, of White Cloud an old
citizen, An honest, straightforward man, but &C
intensely Democratic that file wouldn't touch
him. We do not believe that Mr.. Mauck wanted
the nomination, nor that he has taste for the
position to which he has been nominated.
In the Second District, Barney ODriscoll, Of
Douiphan, is the nominee for Representative. He
spent all the past Summer in his corn-6eld, prac-
ticing on hurrahing for Greeley. He hasn't got
the hanC of Il vet lint occasionally finds himseli
damnng Horace Greeley.
In the Third District, their candidate for Rep.
resentative is Uncle Ned Searcy, 90 devout Dem
ocrat, that he confidently looks for the second
coming of Gen. jackson.
