The Emporia Foundry, an advertisement of
which will be found in this number, is an en-
terprise that exceeds the general expectation
1t is an advance step toward the establishment
of first-class manufactures in western inland
towns. This one at Emporia is destined TO
receive the largest share of north, south and
western Kansas trade. The mechanical skill
and education of Messrs. Prosser & Graves
the climbing essentials certain guaranty
OF the entire success of the enterprise. The
magnitude of the Emporia Foundry NAV be
judged from the kinds of work they advertise
to engage, such as steam engines, wool ma
chinery, horse powers, turning lathes, corn
shelters, etc. They repair all kinds of farm
and other machinery Oh the most reasonable
terms. This will be felt as great convenience
in this vicinity, doing away with the necessity
of sending TO ST. Louis or east. the DELAY, be-
sides increased freight. As an enterprise
worthy Of the confidence and deserving the
support Of our people, we most warmly re-
. commend it.

HONESTY OF PURPOSE.

The division in the ranks OF the

that Raiicalism Is hecotaing too cor
rupt for its honest members, who
desire r~eforIn-and Will not abide with
a party that refuses to comply with

fall Of the party that has trampled

sonable man very forciDly that they

WHO DO YOU WANT FOR PRESIDENT

Next week each Republican voter
has an important duty to perform.
Its nature and method are fully ex-
planned in the call from the State
committee at the head of this COL
umn.
The political calm which now pre-
walls should not have the effect of
making Republican voters neglect
to take an active interest in the
work TO be done on. Die 17th! II is
their opportunity to express their
choice as to whom should be nomi-
mated President and Vice President
of the United States. 1t is their
opportunity, to foil the political
wire pullers who always seek to
pack State ana national conventions
with delegates whose votes they can
control to further their own schemes
of aggrandizement. 1t is each vo-
ter's chance to exercise a direct in
Huence upon our public policy.
We therefore call the earnest at
tention OF our readers to the. dis
trict conventions of the 18th. EN-
poria city and township, and Pike,
send two, and the balance of the
county two delegates. These dele
gates should be carefully selected.
They should be men whose views
are distinctly announced, and whose
ability and good faith are well guar
anteed. And they should be men
who represent the views of the ma
jority of the Republican voters. We
believe that, to do this, they will
favor the denomination of Presi-
dent Grant u y pal
Tits time for us all to think and
talk over this matter. "Who do
you want to see our next Presi-
dent?" is the question for each to
ask and answer. "Who do you
want TO sepd as delegates to the
State CONFERENCE.-The the next aues-
ton. Canvass the names, inquire
into the matter, find out who are to
be put up as delegates, and don't
neglect your duty and your oppor-
tunities,
