PERSONAL AND POLITICAL NOTES.


1t is interesting to hear Demo-
Gratis going around clectioneering
for Horace Greeley because he don't
drink.
at last accounts Gov. Palmer,
OF Illinois, was reported to be for
Greeley. 1t was not known how he
would be after he had dined.
At least two OF the Kansas Liber-
al leaders were on their knees q
year and half ago begging the Re-
publicans to elect them to Office.
The Democrats are having q good
deal of trouble about Charles Sum-
ner. He still persists in refusing to
take ground for Greeley.
There were many delegates at the
Baltimore Convention whose names
used to be on the muster rolls of
the rebel army, and they all cheer
ed for Greeley.
Born SIDEs.-Grceley is protec-
tion and Brown is free trade. Gree
ley is temperance and Brown eats
too many cherries. If Brown has q
single weakness it is for cherries.
The Lbs were terribly uckled
over the telegraphic report OF their
meeting at Fl. Scott. In q private
note the telegraph operator, who is
an old citizen, says it was the thin
est affair he ever saw in that city.
ANorHER.-We arc informed that
the graceful and elegant Col. g. X.
Holiday, of Topeka, promises to
jine the Greeley funeral if they will
nominate him for Congress. There
are about fifty mourners now under
similar promise to be sacrificed.
A NEW NAME.-It was announc-
ed few days ago that Big Rats
Brown was sick in New Yorl, from
"too much cherries" That's the
first time we ever heard of regular
Fourth of July drunk being called
"too much cherries" 'Rah for
Beeley (hic) and Grown (hic).
1t is said that Sid Clark thinks Sc
riously of going over to the Liberals
If he goes we hope he wont forget
his hat. By making this change he

to an honest, virtuous man, and 8
hero in the estimation of many o.
those who have for years denounced
him as the embodiment of all tina

EDUCATIONAL LECrUREs.-Presi

NAL School will lecture on education
and present the claims of the Nor
NAL ut the following times and pla
ces: Neosho Falls, July %; Hum
boldt, %; New Chicago oath; Par
sons, 18th, Chetopa, 26. The lee
ture will be of public interest, ant

President Hoss at the differen
points.
WEBB WILDER.-We have neg
lected to notice that d. w. Wilde

Monitor. We would write littl,

This is the reason he resigned hi
editorship of one of our leading
dailies. Unlike a good many fel

The fight for the Presidential
campaign is now thoroughly open
ed, and we propose to take "a HAND

Is level, Brother Folks. Those who
are charging trickery against the
two conventions are generally can
didates, and see less chance fol-
manipulation than there would be
in one convention.
A STRANGE MIxTURE.-We have
received tho Lawrence Democratic
standard enclosing q copy OF the
New York Tribune extra with
Summers speech. That's queer.
Half dozen years ago 1t was for
hidden that the Tribune should
even be circulated in Democratic
quarters, let alone by Democratic
publishers. It was an offense for
Democrats to read that paper and
many poor devil has made q mar

are most surprised at is that the
