"WHITE MAN Is MIGHTY UNcERTAIS.r-Our
friend, Capt. Larzelere, this week publishes a
communication relative to the Farmers Conven.
tion, and an exhortstion to the farmers to stick
to the ticket. We agree with him, that dele
gates who participated in the Convention, and
found no fault with the proceedings, should be in
honor bound to stand By the ticket; but be is
emphaticly mistaken on another point. We be-
lieve we have heretofore made the assertion, and
make it again, that large number of the dele
gates in that Convention, (probably one-third }
have gone back on it, and will not support the
entire ticket. A number of them were in the
meeting of the Republican Central Committee,
Others were in the Liberal Democratic Conven-
tion, still others were in the Convention this
week, and several will be found as candidates
in opposition to the Farmers ticket. We do not
sppreve of or apologize for this breach of faith;
but the fact is nevertheless notorious, that the
situation is just as we have stated.

THE LIBERAL CoSvENTIoN.-As we were not
in town last Thursday, We cannot speak Of
the Liberal and Democratic Mass Convention
from observation. We learn that the attendance
was moderate, and the proceedings harmonious.
if not enthusiastic. The following ticket was
nominated:
For County Treasurer-No nomination.
For Sherif-No nomination.
For County Clerk-NO nomination.
For Register of Deeds-H. S. Briggs
For County Surveyor-James F. Forman.
For Coroner-No nomination.
For County CommissiOners-ist District, Mil
ford Gilmore; ID District, Jacob \ Zimmerman;
Sd District, Charles Kearney.
For Representatives, District, B. A. Seaver;
2d District B. o'Discoll; Sd Dristrict, no nomi-
nation.
Think as we may about the prospect of the
election of this ticket and the manner in which it
was nominated, it is pretty good ticket, and,
taken all in ALL is composed Of nbler men than any
ticket yet in the field. This does not refer to
the blanks!

REPREsENTAuvEs.-Whil the County Offices
have no especial political bearing, the Office OF
Representative has, and the RePubIicaus should
have taken care that the Representatives of this
County were all right. There is United States
Senator to elect, and thA Republicans should not
lose any members of the Legislature by default.
Yet in two of the Districts of this County, the
chances are 10 favor of the election of Democrats.
In the First District, the thing is in such shape
that many Republicans have come TO look upon
the election of the Democratic candidate as the
lesser evil. In the SECOND District, we think
Mr. Stout is safe. But in the Third District,
there is great danger of the election of Demo-
orat. The Republicans should not permit Mr.
Bowman to be defeated. He is far more COM
Petert man than the so-ealled Mechanics and
Labering Mems nominee, and he is sound poIiti
cally aud morally.

u If George I. Anthony, Collector of Intern
al Revenue for Kansas, is desirous of making
himself as obnoxious as possible to the people of
Kansas, he is taking the proper conrse to accom-
plish it, in sending his ficdeelings son out through
Kansas, TO air his insolencc aad arrogance in DOM
ineering over retail dealers W ho have taken out
and paid for their license. We hear of him from
various points, and always to the same effect
entering shops, and without stating his name or
business, demanding their certificates, and when
shown them, insisting that they are not kept
sufficiently conspicuous. The story almost in-
variably winds up with: ~ had great mind to

GONG THROUGH HM-One Of the truest say
Ings Of Josh Billings is, that "when . man com
mences going down hill, everything seems to
have been creased for the OCCASION" Senator
Pomeroy's experience is fair illustration of this
Last January, he was defeated for the Senate;
and Immediately thereafter, criminal prosecn
tion was commenced against him, which is still
pending. The recent bank failures swamped o
large amount of his money; and right on the
heels of this an attempt was made to assassinate
him. Suit has been commenced against him in
Topeka, on account of the King Bridge Company,
and the famous 5000 deposited by York has
been garnisheed. He has also been sued for his
last Winters hotel bill at Topeka, and his Atchi-
son city property and his fine farm in Atchison
County have been attached. In the latter at
tachment, Judge Horton is said to have claim
of 5000, for legal services last Winter. And
now 1t is said that the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad Company has sued him for the
recovery Of his Pottawatoinie lands given to him
for services. He is no longer in position where
he canvofe il subsidies, and the soulless corpor-
alton now want to take e=from him that which
they have heretofore given Him. He is in a fair

guished Dead ere the next. Springs vioets shall
