THURSDAY, JANUARY 3 1873.
fnE SkNAr0RIAL QUESTION.
There has been 20 much sel6shnes mani
fasasd in the Senatorial fight that ~
have MD LITTLE upsn the question. Ga
rssias understand, however, that We has'
no pessonal or sel6sh Interests in the con
tsst. There has been % much corruPtioz
and alsehood sAosf, and disposition to Is
more the rights of deserving, true Republi'
cans, that We have not felt like taking IN
active part in the fight Neverthele., We
nave had positive views. and. perhaps. it
will do no harm for The TIxEs to honestly
speak it, preferences. Alter looking over
the field, We can 80 no reason Why
SENATOR PoNEkoY
Il not the bet man thus far named for the
position. He has served twelve years in the
Senase. He has been honored BY being
placed at the head of responsible committees
He has secured . greater amount of lesisla-
tion than any Representative Kansas ever
had. He Is the trusted friend Of President
Grant. He hiss been abused soundly, and in
many instances, We have no doubt, justly,
and 10 other case. vrongfuliy charged.
We zee no reason for the bitter 6yht made
asaina him. Indeed. many Of the candid
ates are known to b dishonest, treacherous
and wholly unfit for the position. Take,
for instance, 6ooddy. the nost impodenf
and notorious scoundrel in the State. Tie
howiings of such men agains Pomeroy Is
mere bosh. Poneroy d worth . thousand
such Stubborn mules. Therefore. asainst al
this clan of purifiers We are for Pomeroy.
II il should prove that . minority Of the
Legislature doss not favor the rs-election Of
Ponsroy, We have Q candidate in prospect
whose merits has not been discussed,
oos Who perhaps Is not . candidate
but . man, .nevesshelea, of ability, integrity |
and position; one Who, il armed With
Senatorial comnission in the Senate cham |
b9 Il Washington, would have an influence |
and power second to no other man In Kan |
-. We refer to the
HON. c. ". BADcocK,
OF Lawrence. His brother, Ges. O. E
Babeock, il private secretary 10 President |
Gr,at. Mr.. b. i not eonplieaasd with any
Of the rings which sow exia in Kansaa He
could, If elected. 20 to Washiostoa without
easaagl,ng alliances, prepared to do his duty
to Tie whole State.
6oQthern Kansas contains many able mep;
among them u
COL J. W. H0RNFR,
Of Cbetopa, . man Of marked ability and
iuAuescs. II the South demand recog-
milton, they could easily unite on \ gentle
man % competent and true - Col Homer.
HOE. D. 2. LOWE
Has many friends; bot he il nov
occupying position in Congress. aud many
think 1t unfair for him 70 be a candidate.
Judge Lowe 10 able and competent, al
though charged b many Of his friends with
bsing cold, selfish and ungrateful. How
ever, be would make q respectable and
digni6ed Senator.
HON. WIN. A. PBlLL'fs
Il the only candidate in the west. Phillips
i also able and fitted for the position; but it
i true of him also that he hss just been
elscsed to Congress. He would, however,
honoEably represent US in the Senate. 4
DIR. C. A. LOGAN,
Of our city, is also talked Of By lev indi.
viduals. The Doctor is very pleasant, nice
man, with little or no experience in the
duties of q statesman. He is, however.
stsoagly backed By Senator Caldwell, will
have some votes on the FIRST ballot, and If
slseed will make very handsome Senator.
HON. L 9. KALLoCH
L talked of. He has some strength, and
Would make brilliant representative. Our
soa.ty members feel favorably disposed to-
wards him ard may conclude to vote for
him.
GOV. J. n. HARVEY
Il also candidate. and says he is going to
b elected. 1t mus be evident to those &C.
Quaintsd with the Governor that the A.
mighty did not make him for United States
Senator. He has been Governor four years,
and that ought TO satisfy his ambition as
it has satisfied the people Of Kansas.
JOHN ). INGALLS,
l. also spoken of. II, i, writer
and speaker, cold, heartless. rnp,incipaled,
Who would tell Q lie and relish it more than
In telling the truth. +
