EDlr0n JOURNAL: We have had in tais
county q very warm and closely con-
tested campaign. NJ. d. Sampson, ed
i,or Of the JOURNAL, J. Weaver, formerly
Of Douglas county, and J II. Sncad.
formerly . member Of tho hoase from
this county, wore the candidates for
representative. Tho Republicans de-
cided to make no nominations, and
Sampson ran independent. Tho farm
crs had . convention and nominated Mr..
Weaver Tor the legislature. Both Of
these gentlemen arc good and efficient
men, and the contest was between them.
Sampson, the Independent candidate,
made spl endid race, considering the
desperate means resorted to to defeat
him. He was only defeated BY nine
votes. He is still young and . man Of
decided ability, and would have dis
charged the duties Of legislator with
satisfaction to his constituents aud hon
or to himself. Mr. Weaver, his success
full compstitor, is, wo suppose, we'll
known to many of the old settlers in
Douglas county. We believe him to be
a fair and square man, Of pleasant man
ners and good address, and he will un.
mako . good representa-
tive.
Tho question Of United States Senator
was not involved in the contest of these
two gentlemen, As it 10 understood that
they were both ready to carry out the
will of their constituents BY working
aud voting for Col. Phillips for that
position. And let US say hero that the
prospects of this gentleman for United
States Senator are very fa,terins. West
ern and central Kansas will come, With
imnsterial exceptions, in solid plal-
anx to the legislature in support OF Col
Phillips, believing HIM 10 be "capable,
honest and faithful" man of unbound.
cd energy, and worthy to DO associated
as the colleague of tho gifted Ingalls,,
"fratrcs mobiles" in the cause Of reform
and progress.
Equally hot was the contest of the i'm
portant county offices, three or four run.
ming for every one of them. For coxn,y
clerk, David Beebc, Independent, the
present incumbent, was reelected Ly
about fifteen or twenty votcs over 4. 7.
Collins, the farmers nominee, a man
very we'll qualified. Mr.. Bcebc has been
clerk six years, and is conceded By all
to b . good officer, but was bitterly op.
posed, mainly because he had had the
Office long enough.
Chas. E Faulkner, independent,
who has hold the Office for two yeArs,
was reelected by twenty seven votes
over his competitors, A. C. Ksnnison,
farmer, and Maj. Fsrsss, our last mem.
Der in the legislature. Mr.. Faulkner 70
the best treasurer Saline county ever
had, and one Of the best officers in the
State.
For sheriff tho contest was virtually
between Tom Going, the present o0cial.
aud James Russell, the predecessor Of
Mr.. Going in the Office Of sheriff; bat
Tom came out ahead with flying coiors.
Beth ofthese men are fully competent
for the duties Of the Office.
The other gentlemen elected arc 8. T.

and Mr.. Leslie, Of Brookville, railroad

There was . largo majority for tho
amendment.
Thus We have got safely through an
other exciting election, without . man
