THE INTERESTS OF WESTERN KAN
SAS.

Mr.. EDITOR: As Western Kansas
has interests equal to the Eastern
part of the State it is but just that
we should have one of the Z. 8.
Senators.
The history of Kansas, In
respect to the location of her Sena-
tors is anomalous. Hitherto thew
have been confined 10 a limited por-
ton of her Eastern territory,
while most of the Eastern half and
all her western section has not even
received one of them. Our inter-
ests in the Kaw lands, and the
Usage reserve. railroad interests,
and others pertaining to this part
of the State, have suffered because
we have had no one identified with
our interest in the important Rep
resenlative offices, and now that
this portion of the State is rapidly
filling up aSd has interests peculiar
to itself, il is but just that we
should haye one of the L. s. Sena-
tors from this portion of the State.
However trifiing some may wish to
have this appear, yet all who know
| anything of such matters, know
that it is of great Importance, tor
though we may not be entirely
neglected yet unless we have q Sem
ator Unidentified with US our matters
will not receive the attention they
| otherwise would. Who will take
the interest in our affairs that one
of our own number would? The
interest must be personal and per.
haps selfish to secure the best ser.
vice, and to WELD the greatest in.
| fluehce. To an Eastern Senator
Eastern interests will always receive
attention even TO the exclusion oil
expense of the Western. In States
possessing not one sixth of the ter
ritory of Kansas, and whose inter
ests are so well adjusted that They
require but little attention, nor arr
they half so diversified or impor
tant as ours, yet they adhere rigid
ly TO the established custom of Sc
Letting Senators from different sec
lions of the State. The State o
Maryland is representa- according
to this custom. VIM. +. Hamilton
the present incumbent from tn
western portion of the State owe
his election more to this custom
than TO any particular ability
Ohio observes it also so with othe
States.
There should, in ali justice, be n,
contest on the part of Eastern Kan
sas as t. the locality of the comm;
Senator. Western Kansas has beel
denied her dues so long that the,
should be granted without the ask
ing. We have men, to whom W
can safely entrust our matters an'
who will be an honor to the Stat
in point of talent and srnoral worth
Why then should we be longe
ignored and unfairly dealt with?
