IFRoM A. OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUNE
TOPEKA, Kansas, May 21-The surprise with
which the Western people regarded the action OF the
Cincinnati Convention has given way TO q general and
universal feeling Of satisfaction and triumph The nom
ination of Greeley and Brown sweeps as steady tor
nado the Western praires No acquainted with
Western character could have for moment questioned
the effect Of the action at Cincinnati The West is full
of Greeley and Brown The Democracy in the West
are universal in their praises Of the ticket and the plat
FORM and any Democrat who talks Of straight Demo
cratic ticket, nomination other than that Of Clncn
natl, is hooted at Administration hireling. The
Democrats Of the West have not for year or more had
the slightest hope OF being successful straight DEM
ocratic ISSUE Their only hope has been in movement like
that Cincinnati The leaders exercising great eau
ton in their movements and using all the means in
their power prevent any expression at their State Con-
ventiOn hostile TO the Liberal movement The Kansas as
well the Missouri delegation TO Baltimore Will be In
go unedly squarely, and firmly for Greeley
and Brown The action OF voorhees,. The Chicago Times
and The Ne York World is bitterly denounced and the
reason alleged why voorhees, is opposed 70 the Liberal
ticket is that he the attorney Of Blunt and the Indian
Ring and Of almost every Ring in Washington, and has
been 80 successful under the Grant regime that an hon
est Government will him to lose very lucrative
The solution of the Tariff question meets the
views Of all They, feel assured that now both
on national ticket without any side issues;
The Republican readers OF TIE TRIBUNE who have lived
and fought under its teachings in Kansas and to whose
influence Kansas much, II not more, than to any
Others WILL nineenths Of .hem, vote for Greeley and
Brown, while most OF then will vote the Republican
State ticket This with the combined Democratic vote,
s6oo @ Tnaory The tRcy settled portions Of the state
the large counties and the iorelgn element, VIII go
almost solid for the Liberal ticket Greeley and Brown
clubs are sprngng up all the State, and after the
Administration Convention, the fight will commence; as
yet there nothing TO do but to organize fer the fay
the opposition being undeyelOped.
The caldwell and Pomeroy investigation has been q
out Caldwell for his eXpenses-some $40O-neyer got
his pay and instituted the proceedings IN hopes OF fore
faith with his men, there would never have been an
investigation Those who depended on his promises
There is no denying that he bought his way into the
Senate, is there that POmeroy did. Pomeroy paid
hs own men-drew his own checks or else his trusted
brOhernlaw, Gaylor, did. He spent as much money rs
Caldwell did, but kept his promises In some shape or
has been elected from Kansas that has not
bought the Senatorial toga These are the AdInnlstr
tion leaders in Kansas who hope Grants influence will
protect them. The Delehay impeachment matter should
have been attended to years ago and would have been
had the Republicans feared that Andrew Johnson
would have filed his place with worse specimen than
he is been the laughing OF the West, dis
grace to the Bar, and curse to the Judiciary. His
court the United States District and Circuit before The
massage of the Circuit Court bill, was farce upon
Justice; his fayoritisn than anything ever
perpetraed at NewYork by Cardozo and Barnard. And
still the honest Dan Voorhees, his friend In the Com
uitee making rigid Examinations in order 20 help
IN keeping him in his place. The Judiciary Committee
need further back than when the Kansas Senate
acted upon resolution requesting his impeachment,
and he stopped t rendering his resignation, placing
il in Judge Ushers hands to be sent TO Washington and
after adjournment OF the Legislature, requesting its
return to HIM, which effected. The Administration
has little hope for in Kansas Its corruption its ex-
travagance Its thieving ring its enormous land swim
dies this State have disguised every honest settler,
and the people nowcry out for REFORM for honesty and
for Justice 1t Is only by the or the Cincinnati
platform and ts nominees that this can be attained
The people mean that the ticket shall succeed
