The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1874-09-17
The Nominees,

NAV DC IOutiu III dhSiuci ''ao'i"'
The men comprising the convention
were worthy the people they repre-
scented. and the ticket from first to last
is i'm every way credit TO the con-
yention. Tie convention was compos-
ed Of the very best class of men from
all parts of our county. and came TO
the discharge of their duties with
minds wholly free from the influence
OF political intrigue or corrupt com
binations. We believe that not Il sim
vle vote was cast as the result OF any
barter, promise or combination OF any
kind whatsoever, and while a spirit OF
earnestuess and independence seemed
to pervade the entire body of delegates.
Yet during the entire proceedings
there was not the slightest manifesto
ton of i'll feeling on the part OF sim
gle delegate: and while the contest for
some of the positions Oh the ticket
were spirited aud protractcd the Ut
most good fellowship prevailed
throuhout. and victor was hartily con-
graduated by vanquished. Such a
convention, composed ofsuch men, and
acting in such a manner could not fail
to give us a ticket worthy OF our sup
port.
For Representative in the legislature
DIR. r. b. ALLEN,
of Wichita township, was nomineted.
There are few people in our county
who have not personal acquaintance
with DR.. Allen and none who do not
know him by reputation. He has re-
sided here evor since this was coun-
ty, and aided in its original organiza-
ton. He served the people one term
in the legislature and the fact of his
present nomination demonstrates the
confidence and esteem i'll which he is
held by his fellow citizens. DR.. Allen
is peculiarly a man of the people,
wholly devoid of vanity or ostenta-
tious display. Of thorough mental
and business training, with large legis-
lativc experience and thorough
knowledge of parliamentary rules {;
with an intimate acquaintance with
the people of the entire county and
fully sympathising with them in all
their wants and wishes, he is preeni-
nently the fitest man TO represent Sedg-
wick county in the legislature.
A man of strictcst integrity and I'M
firing industry; with all extensive and
favorable acquaintance throughout the
state. we have no hesitation in saying
that he can and will accomplish more
for the good of Scdgwick county than
any other man who could have been Sc
lected.
For probate judge,
HON. w. c. LITTLE
was placed in nomination. Too many
good things cannot be said about Judge
Little. lie too is one of the Oldest OF
our inhabitants, and is well and favor
ably known to most if not all of our
readers.
1t can be said of Judge Little, as it
can of few men, that he has not an cne-
INV in the world. No man knows him
but likes him, and those who know
him best like him best. He has served
one term as county superintendent OF
schools, and has been probate judge
during the past two years and we can
truly say, that no official in Kansas has
more attentively or conscienciously
devoted himself to the discharge of
his duties than he. lie is a lawyer by
profession and thoroughly posted in
the duties of his office. When a pub
lie servant discharges his duties as
faithfully as Judge Little has done, it
is but just that he should be rewarded
as the people have determined TO re-
ward him.

was placed in nomination. Mr.. Stan

edlv make brilliant campaign, and
