CAMPAIGN NOTES.

roy informs US that Hon. Henry
Wilson will make two speeches in +
next month. +
The latest intelligence from o.
Conor is that he has written letter
accepting the Louisville nomina-
ton.
The straight-out Democrats of Il
linois have put full State ticket in |
the field.
The Soldiers convention, at Pits
burg was a grand affair. Grant was
endorsed handsomely by his old
comrades.
The beloved DIR. Greeley has been
swinging round the circle this week
begging votes. He said things at
one point and then took them BAG K
at another. Altogether. the purify
ing leaders are disgusted with him. |
They tried to keep him at home but |
failed.
ANOTHER STRAw.-On the regu-
lar train between Topeka and EN-
poria, last Friday, there were three
cars crowded to their utmost capac-
ity with passengers. A vote was
taken for President, with the fol-
lowing result; Grant, n; Greeley,
%; O'Conor, 2; neutral, 9. The
ladies voted Sc for Grant, five for
Greeley, and nine were neutral. 1t
will be remembered that the vote
stood, on the excursion train Thurs
day, as stated by US last week,
Grant, 70; Greeley, 20. These two
votes are about fair indication of
how the vote will be in Central and
Southwestern Kansas in November.
And yet there are occasional idiots
engaged in p ublishiDg to the world
that Kansas will go for Greeley.
They either have not got ordinary
intelligence or else they are willful
falsifiers.
Ali was not lovely at the State Half
breed convention. One delegate de-
nounced Ross in the most unmeasured
terms. Sam Wood, referring to Par
rot, for Congressman, said he would
not support habitual drunkard. By
ron Sherry, referring to Wood, said he
would not support "cattle-thief' and
so the compliments went around. Sol.
Miller truly remarks that these were
about the only truths enunciated by
the convention.
ANSWERED The Leavenworth
Times puts the following conun-
drum: "Will Osborn be with
drawn?" So faras we know, we can
answer that he will notify. We
haye known Thomas for some years,
and are firmly of the opinion that
he is not one of the Withdrawing
kind, especially when he has a "sure
thing on it,"
Notwithstanding the fight of the
Leavenworth Times on Osborn, the
Republican nominee for Governor,
we learn from good private author
ity that he will run ahead of the
Republican ticket in Leavenworth
county.
INDIANA.-The Straightout Dem
ocracy of Indian have placed in the
field full State ticket. The Hon.
A. T. Edgerton, who came very
near being nominated for Vice
President at Louisville, was made
candidate for Governor. Two Elect
ors-at-large, ex-senator Fitch and
Charles Reeve, were selected. The
other members of the ticket, though
less widely known, are, from the
original Democratic standpoint
men of reliability and possessing
the confidence of the party of old.
The ticket is said to be a strong one,
and now the 'tidal wave" Greeley.
ties are laughing out of the Other
side of their mouths.
The neighbors and acquaintance
of VIM. A. Phillips will be sur
prised to learn from the Empoaia
Ledger, a truthful Greeley paper
that he is ''bloated by dissipation
The end iustifies the means. If the
object arrived at is reform of course
it is legitimate to lie.-Junction
City Union.
The truth is that Col. Phillips is &
total abstinence temperance man.
M1ssoUR1.-The Straight Democ
racy of Missouri have evidently re-
solved not to be completely sold on
by Brown and Blair, but have issu-
ed a call for convention to nomi
nate Presidential Electors, to beheld
at Jefferson City, on Friday, Octo'
Der 4.
