Don't Want Aid.

\ public meeting was held at Dodge
City, Ford county, few days since, at
which resolutions were adopted de-
claring the statement that there were
one hundred and fifty destitute people
in that county, a misrepresentation.
The meeting thanked Gov. Osborn for
his kindness, in proposing to destrib-
ute quantity, of clothing to citizens
of that county, but declined the offer,
resolving that ''as long as the roaming
buffalo put in an appearance, we fear
no fainine-and can supply any desti-
tutc county with all the meat they re-
quire. We would respectfully ask
that such clothing may be distributed
to less favored localities The Dodge
City Messenger says:
about $50. In the next place, there are
not $50 destitute people in the comfy
There is not single person here that
has been made destitute by grasshop-
pers. There is but one family in the
county that requires aid, and their
wants will be attended to by our own
citizens. The citizens of this city are
not of that class who would sit quietly
with their arms folded, and permit
worthy families in the neighbOrhood
to suffer for bread-stuffs or clothing.
A more liberal class of men cannot be
found than those which represent the
business portion of this city, and it is
not likely they will permit people to
starve. They are amply able to feed
their own poor, and will do it,"

Is quite lengthy. first and for,nost
OF the financial situation, next tho
Southern troubles. In both of these
positions the President is right as a
national policy, but it promises no i'm

nue. laws and transportation questions
are ably handled He advocates a
speedy return TO specie payments and
says every delay in the preparation of
final resumption, partakes of dishones-

Wellington Press, will be candidate
date for Secretary of the Senate this
winter. We would be glad to see him
get the place. lie is well qualified. and
if any man is deserving it is him. He
was a good soldier. that we know. and
the Republican party hasn't a more
noble defender in the state. His pa
per. though on the frontier away from
the convcniences of railroads and 9TH
err facilities. is a good one, and WELD
cd powerful influence. for the Re-
publican ticket in the late election.
The Captain is comparatively poor
man. though he gets up much better
and more influential paper than MANY
who are surrounded with those facili-
ties of which he is deprived. and the
salary he would get would be of great
value to him and the party he so Gu
Enthusiastically supports. Here is de-
serving man. now let our state senator's
give him the place he seeks.-CoFey-

which. in these times, cannot be re-
peaied too often. 1t says: The Re
publican party is a party Of order and
progress. TO it belongs the future OF
this country just as there is a law of
development that governs the political
life of nations. The Democratic party
has accomplished its mission, il it ever
had any except TO bring on the war of
the rebellion. II is the duty of the
hour TO recognize this. Let there be
no more talk Of no party and indie
