In the early infancy of the Dem
ocratic- Liberal Reform party we
were, especially hereabouts, treated
with a most liberal expose of the
corruptions and disgusting impOr-
tunities attendant upon political |
canvasses. These dear fellows that |
were too pure to stay with the Re-
publican party, but must fee to the
bosom of that immaculate organiza-
ton formerly known as the Demo
cratic party, iaterly, as ''the sinking
"reminiscences" could not admire too
much the Cincinnatus sort of fell
low that waited for office to come
his way, nor could they find words
to express their disgust with the
practice of candidates intimatins to
the dear people that a vote would
be gratefully accepted. And when
they folded their robes about them
and majestically left the old party,
in which these corrupt and dis
gusting practices were encouraged
to the great scandal of all decent
people and danger of good govern
ment-as these outside Reformers
would have US belieYe-we expect
ed to see set of fellows SO pure, so
noble, SO self-denying and chival-
rous, that CinciDnatus would be no
where, and Office seeking would
soon be classed with horse stealing
and other felonies. But we arc
sorrowful. We are detected. We
are discouraged, depressed, disheart'
ened. We were fooled, deIuded
sucked in.
In the earlier part of the cam
paign, as conventions began to gath
err, instead of seeing these noble Ro
mans, sticking closely to their pillow
tell until the Goa populi, in thunder
tones, should command them Il
come up higher, we saw them sit
ting around on the fence-Wt
would fain at the time have be
lieved not for the purpose of at
tracing attention, but for rest. Il
some instances, indeed, the friends
I father-in-lsws, &c, so far forgot tn
/ new traditions as to call attention
> to the pre-eminent fitness of thei
: favorItes for Office. But no soone
had the candidates, despite thei
Persistent lodging, been hit wit
> nominations (poor fellows how W
, pitied them at the time) than presto
change! The new traditions wer
forgotten, the old practices froI
which so shortly before they ha
turned in horror, were embraced
and in full chorus Tray, Blanche an
Sweetheart, frey, Crawford an
Gillilsnd, go bowling over the coun
ty, and not contenting themselve
with the very thin disguise of max
ing speeches against the "astound
ing rOttennesss" of the Republica
party, as an.electioneering dodge 70
themselves, they descend to the low
est and most sickening personal i'm
portunities, for votes. Oh, how ar
our high hopes wrecked! Where
oh where, is the realization of tina
Y majestic ideal promised to us, is tn
: desparIng enquiry of a
DISCUSSED ONE.

Does Wheat Raising Pay.

CEDAR VALLEY, Chase Co.
October 18th, 1874
DEAR NEWS: In my last / told
you l would give further report o.
wheat. Messrs. z. Z. and G. e
Dwelle have kindly furnished me 6
statement of their entire crop fol
this year, and az it is q question
sometimes raised whether wheat
growing will pay, we think their
showing is very favorable indeed
At any rate they are we'll satisfied
Have put up and nearly completed
q good, substantial frame house and
also granary. The latter ia well
filed with the golden grain, q SAM
pie of which 1 will send you the
last of this week.
The only things I saw while
there still needed to make home
pleasant was the absence of a good
wife and The ESIroRIA NEWS. But
new beginners can't do everything at
once, and have no doubt when their
stock OF grain is sold at $1.25 or
perhaps at S1.50 what seems now
wrong will all come right. AT any
rate they have no notion of leaving
Kansas.
But 1 do not intend TO write up
these young men at the disparage-

DIsERANEFUI.

Only day or two since we published
the report Of the grand jury, made to
the criminal court, in which thirteen
men Of known respectability charge
gross irregularities, amounting to high
crimes against deeency and civilization,
against the pOorhouse commissioners
and Others. This staggered the COM
muniy, which, by the urgent request Of
one Of the interested parties, has
suspended Judgment until a further
investigation can be made. Hard
ly recovered from this blow at our
good name, here we have a row in the
council, that for epithets and general
Iooseness might be surpassed in a
bagnio, but no where else. We publish
in the usual place a faithful report of
it, the reading of which will
excite general indignation and con-
tempt. It is the result Of state Of
feeling between the belligerent parties
that has been increasing steadily ever
since the new council was sworn in,
growing out Of oppOsitions personal to
them, and in which the public
had but little interest. We
regret it, SIS what right-mind, d
man viii not. Who that thinks over
all that Memphis has suffered and lost
within the last few years-of her dis
grsced public debt-of her attitude Of
suppliauce during a fearful epidemic
but viii give way to the righteous indig-
nation natural on reading our account
Of this fracas, which lasted for full ten
minutes, and was only queIed by the
active interference Of the chief of police,
the city recorder, the sergeant-at-aIms
aud a number Of policemen. Thought
