Nov AND THET.-We will not advise any Re
publican to vote for Thos. ]. Vanderslice, who
feels that it would go against the grain to do so
bnt we like to see reason and consistency. The
cry of Border Rufisn and Rebel may be oyerdone.
yapderslice was staunch Pro-Slayery man, but
we have never heard that he participated in or
counselled any outrages upon Free State men,
He has always borne the reputation of being
peaceable man and good nsighbor. Daring the
war. he, like hundreds of other Democrats in
Kansas, remained quietly at home. What his
opinions may have been, or how far he may have
sympathized with the South, we do not know
but we have never heard that he gave any aid to
the Rebellion, or spoke word in favor of it. He
turned out, with the rest of the Democrats and
Republicans who were not in the army, upon the
call Of the Government, to repel the Price Raid.
There are many Republicans who cannot con-
sistently vote for man of his political standing,
and who have always been consistent in this
principle Bat the above charges come with bad
grace from men who, only two years ago, voted
for mau for Sheriff who made no eoncealment
of his Rebel sentiments, in order to beat a tried
Republican, and came within very few votes of
doing it. A large number of Republicans in this
County did that thing, purely for spite; and
some of them are now making ugly faces at the
very idea of voting for such Rebel as Tom Van
derslee!

BANK PANIc.--within the past week, there
has been terrible smashing of banks in the
East-principally New York and Philadelphia
The first suspension was that of the great bank
ing house of Jay Cooke & Co., which was follow
ed by the smash-up of score of other houses. 1t
was thought that Government would lose heavi-
ly by Jay Cooke & Co., hnt the Secretary of the
Treasury announces that Government is yet able
to meet its bills promptly, without breaking
open its gold box. A. 81

IT BRINGS IN THE MoNEY!-At the horse-race
st the Kansas State Fair, Tuesday, boy, the son
of a mechanic of Topeka, was thrown off of his
horse, badly bruised and his collar bone and two
ribs broken. It is still uncertain whether be
will live or die. But he is only boy, and the
son of poor man. These horse races must con-
time to be the leading feature at Fairs, for they
draw the crowds, and bring in the money. So
would bull-hght. prize fight, or an execution
by beheading. Let them go on-a boys life isn't
of much aeeount!

II Democratic farmer said to MS, the other
day, that he would not think so much Of the cry
against voting for Democrats on the Farmers
ticket. did he not notice that the men who are
loudest in it, are the very fellows who have al
ways heretofore been the keenest to get him and
other Democrats to vote at Republican primary
elections, to elect their acts of delegates and TO
persuade them to vote for their especial friends
on the Republican ticket. He thinks if they
were good enough to vote at Republican prima-
ries, he sees no reason why the rule may not be
reversed. and Republicans vote for them, when
they run not as Democrats, but as Farmers. He
must be mighty mean man to look at the thing
in that shape.

CHARLES RAPPELYE.-Mr. Rappelye this week
announces himself independent candidate
for County Clerk. It must be acknowledged
that Mr.. Rsppelyc has made O faithful and efi-
cient officer and is acting most honorably in this
matter. He declined to pledge Limself before
the Farmers Convention, ipasmuch as he was
not permitted to take any part in its proceed
ings, or in the primaries, but was required to
bind himself to q Convention which he believed
to be opposed to him. Under the circumstances,
he proposes to come before the people upon his
own merits.

IL We have made sad mistake relative to
W. ID. Rippey. He was really our candidate for
Representative of the First District, but Rippey
and ourself were both led to believe that if we
opposed n man, it was the best thing that could
be done in his favor. We pitched in on that
principle, and see the result. We opposed him,
and he got eight votes If we had favored him,
and seconded his own herculean efforts in his be-
half, perhaps he wouldn't have got single vote.
W. D.. isn't this thing of playing men out, .
rather precarious businessi The work is in
teresting, but the profits are uncertain.

REPUBLICAN CoSvESnoS.-We understand
that there is a probability of Republican Con-
ventiou, to nominate County ticket Unless
there can be harmony and concert of action be-
tween the two wings of the party, aud sup
preston of the passion for killing of certain men
aud their friends on either side, such Conven-
tion will be failure. Had the Ratchet been
buried long ago, and personal warfare abandon
ed, the Republican party, with its 900 majority
in the County, would not now occupy its posi-
tion of hesitancy and doubt If it has wasted
its opportunities this year. it is not too late to
prepare for another year, when something of
more Importance will be at stake.
