The county ticket which WAS nomina-
ted one week ago last Saturday is pro
nounced the strongest one ever nominal
ed in Saline county. The offices were
distributed in a fair manner among the
different localities of the county, which
makes the nominations very satisfacto-
ry. With the exception OF the county
attorney, who as matter Of necessity
had to be man from Salina, the nomi-
nccs arc from the country. Some of the
farmers have claimed heretofore that Sa-
lima was selfshly presenting most Of
the candidates for Office. Such persons
shoald now be satisfied, as Salina is
'1elt out in the cold" The ticket nomi-
mated is one that can be heartily support
ed by every citizen OF Saline county.
The ticket will be electcd-even if there
is an opposing one-by eight hundred
majority.

A Telling Cnnirasr

Gov. Osborn made brief speech at
Oiathe, at a Republican meeting last
week, devotiBg his attention to State
affairs, and contrasting the financial
management OF the State, during his
administration, with the manageme 1T
during the administration OF some of tn G
so-called "Reformers." Reports say that
the Governor spoke forclbly and well,
and made a most favorable impression
upon his audience. Among the points
he made were the foliwing, as we lind
them strted in the Olathe papers:
"During Gov. Robinsons administra-
ton, in 1861, bonds issued to pay current
expenses were sold by him and Detted to
the State SO! cents on the dollar; after
wards these bonds were turned over to
the Interior Department at 50 cents, a
loss to the State of 2Sl cents on the dol
lar. TIE next sale of bonds of the same
class as the above was made under Gov.
Carney's administration in 1862, at 81
cents. Again, in 1861, under Robinson's
administration, an act was passed au-
thorizing the State 10 borrow money /;
$751; 900 of bonds drawing 10 per cent
interest were issued and sold at 40 cents
on the dollar, netting the State ST., 400.
In two years these bonds came due and
the State was compelled to pay S37, 200
in principal and interest for their redemp-
ton. Or, In other words, the State paid
for the use of this Sl2, 400 for two years,
under a Retormer, (Robinson), just 100
per cent per annum. Our State govern
ment has existed 49, years-6 years I'M
der present leading Reformers, to-wlt: .
years under Robinson and years under
Crawford; present bonded indebtness,
exclusive of about 100000 for funding
Territorial Indebtedness 81 ,235 800; of
this sum Sl,03l 800 was issued under
Robinson and Crawford, (ieformers)
and the balance of s204 900 under Gov.
Carney. But the present showing of
State finances is mere favorable amt dis
closes healthy condition of the State
Treasury. Under Gov. Osborn's admin
money has accumulated IN the
State Treasury, and our bonds are par
in Eastern markets. On November 80,
1872, there were S20l, l09.04 of warrants
and no money in the Treas
lry; but in less than two years under
Gov. OSborn's administration and care
full management tho Treasurer's books
show "A fund of S139, 443.07 in the Treas
Iry and no warrants outstanding, gain !
las been accomplished while at the
same time the levy for current expenses
las been lesscned, viz: In 1873 1t |
was 4 mills, and this year it is 4 mills.
Osborn's speech was sound and practical,
displayed earnest reasoning and pro |
ound thought, and was the best we have [
heard this year"

The commission charged with the du-

Osages are reimbursed for loss of pro-

Andy Johnson,in recent speech made
by him in Tennessee, labored hard to
prove himself good and consistent
Democrat--all the days of his Efe. He
wants to be U. S. Senator and to obtain
that position he is willing to deny the
party which made HIM President We
do not know that any one cares what he
calls himself. The Southern people do
rot seem to care any more for him since
his apostasy from the Republican party,
than the party ITSELF which can well
spare his presence.

Ex-Governor Green has finally decid-

Phillips and PARROT. Green will be the
least voted for of the three.

The Harriet Lane, a once well-known
United States steam revenue cutter,
transformed into trim sailing vessel, Is
taking cotton at Galveston for PrOvi-
dence, r. l.. She appeared in Galveston
harbor in the fall Of 1862, after the city

his dying moments by his father, Con
