The REFORM" TIcKET.-If we have hereto
fore intimated that the "Reform" State ticket
was a Democratic contrivance, we beg pardon of
the Democrats. If they had got up the ticket,
they would at least have put able men upon it,
whatever may have been their political record.
We find that very many Democrats are not going
to support it. Because one or two hard-shell
Democrats of very light calibre have been put
on, is no reason why they should fall in with it.
The nomination of played out politicians who
have been repudiated by the Republicans, is no
inducement for Republicans to support the tick
et And what is there about it to commend it
to the support of farmers Are there no men of
ability who are honest for do they think that
the only men suitable for farmers to vote for are
ignoramuPes and fOolsi A lot of Republic ans
who have been repudisted by the Republican
party, Democrats who have always led that par
ty into blunders, and farmers who have not got
the confidence of that class met together, and put
forth ticket under the name of Reform" that
is entitled to the support Of honest mon of no
party.

of her quaint "Peterkin" conceits, in which that

A New Dem.gogue scheme.

A scheme is now on foot, and being strongly
pressed, to have the Governor call an extra
session Of the Legislature, for the purpose OF
adopting measures of relief for the Western
Counties of the State. resolution TO this ef-
feet was passed at the Leavenworth Congress
sional Convention; and there is q strong proba-
bility that, through political pressure aud pan
dering, the thing viii be accomplished before the
annual election.
The extra session would of itself entail an ex-
pense of many thousands of dollars; and once
assembled, there is no telling what extravaganc-
es they would commit, with an eye to poiiticai
effect 1t is a question whether the Legislature
would have the right to tax the people ot the
whole State for the support Of one section. AT
the preseut time, measures have been taken
to estimate the amount of aid that will he re-
quired to carry the Western Counties through
the Winter. They are not yet starving, and
there is plenty ef time to ascertain their actual
condition. When that is DONE we have no doubt
that voluntary aid could be raised in the Eastern
part of the State to relieve all their necessities,
at least until the regular session of the LeGista-
ture, when, if there is still Distress action can
then be taken.
This thing of passing resolutions in conven-
tiOns, rushing through extra session, wasting
thousands of dollars, and lavishing aid before II
is known what is needed, all under political
pressure and excitement, is n fraud upon the
State. The West will doubtless be in need, but
she should ascertain the extent of it; and when
that is done, she should have relief. Let theiI
active politicians devote portion of their eu'
ergies to this work. 1t nnsy be necessary for the
Eastern part of the State to feed the sparsely
settled Counties Of the West, while thelatter are
devoting their time to controlling the politics OF
the State.

ENTERTAINMENT.
The Con deutiaI Clerk Of } Johu Deifz Absquat
alaics With 1900 Of his Employers
Money.

To many acquaintances of Ed. Floerckey, so
long the confidential clerk of Adam Brenner, Esq.
the heavy grain dealer aud wine manufacturer
of Doniphan, and recently occupying the same
position towards John Deitz, ESQ, of bur city,
Mr.. Brenner's successor, will be not little sur
prised and amazed when they learn that he has
absconded with 5000 in cash, belonging to his
employer.
Floerckey has been n resident of Doniphan for
several years past, has held several important Of
hcial positions of honor and trust and has always
possessed the unlimited esteem and confidence
of his employers, they unhestatingly trusting
him with the transaction of their entire business
and the handling of large sums Of money Last
year he went to Europe and spent several months,
and his wife and children are there now.
On the 18th of August last Mr.. Deifz gave him
$1,000 in money, and sent him out in the country
for the purpose of buing barley for the Eastern
markets. After the second day of the departure
nothing has been definitely heard from him, al
though Mr.. Deitz has information that he has
intionally absconded with the money, with intent
to rob and defraud him.
Yesterday he procured picture of Floerckey,
bad II Photographed postal cards, with q full
personal description of him, and sent them 10 the
Chiefs of Police all over the country. There
can be tnt little doubt that be will eventually be
caught. His peculiar appearance marks him be-
yond doubt, and he will always be easily recog-
nIzed.-Atchisoa Champion, 22d

car, one-half printed atSE Lonis.
When we came ont In favor Of Judge Price,
why did you commence abusing us for it, and
referring to what we had said about him and
other men, in bitter local quarrel several years
agoi Did you do it to open old sores, and prevent
their healingi
Why have you taken so much pains to quote
what we have said in opposition to Price in the
past Did you think it would injure us; or did
you do it to neutralize and destroy any influence
that We were likely to exert in favor of Pricei
What was your object in opposing peace be-
tween the friends and opponents of Price of two
years ago, when the object Of that peace was to
aid Pricei Would you rather see him defeated,
than to see him succeed by the aid of ourself and
friends or do you fear that when peace prevails,
your mission will be ended
