FILLED OUT.-The Cusenicks have got the va.
cancies on their ticket filled. They have put OH
John Francis for Treasurer, aud j. p. Bausernan
of Leavenworth, for Superintendent of Public In,
struction.
Bauserman formerly sort of hickory Re.
publican, hat left the party because he was afraid
he would lie put on an equality with nggers. He
is light weight, short measure, and gauzy.
Francis is good "Reformer' now. When the
Governor appointed him Treasurer. the Reform
papers said the appointment was dictated by
Hayes; that he was in the ring, and would cover
mp Hayes rascaliries. Now they call him 'Iion.
est John Francis"
Just as we go to press, we see the announce
ment that Francis has respectfully but firmly de-
clined the nomir ation. Now he won't be q bit
"honest." Pity they can't find somebody sore OF
anxions enough to fill ont their ticket
Even Bauserman can't see it, but declines the
nomination. The "Reformers" have expressed
so much sympathy for Norton's bad treatment
by the Republican Convention, they had better
try him again.

properly, and according to common sense aud

Journals, with matter that properly belongs to one
paragraph divided into half dozen, and the par

make "fat" and increase the pay, a striking con-
trast is found. Martin is doing straight for

SOMEBODY FOOLED.-When we arrived in To
peka, last week, We met old friend named
Kicker, whom we used TO scoop in the moral and
intellectual game of "pitch." Kicker asked us
if We wanted to see the next Governor of Kansas
Of course, we did-that's what We went there
for. He told to follow him. We followed
him, and he introduced us to a gentleman who
was going to be the next Governor of Kansas
We were satisfied, and had mind to turn round
and come back home, but finally concluded to
stay awhile, and see things. When the nomina.
tiOn for Governor was made, they sent out to
bring him in but to astonishment, he was
not the man to whom we bad been introduced.
Did Kicker perpetrate "se.l" upon us Tor did
that committee impose the wrong man upon the
Convention, to return thanks for his nomination.
There's something ont of whack somewhere.

ABOUT BAD FAITH.-There has been good
deal of growing and whining about the alleged
bad faith of Judge Prices friends in the delegate
business. Here is precise statement of the way
the bad faith came in Some of Prices friends
here entered into agreement with some of
SmallwOod's leading friends at Wathena, who
were supposed to POSSESS enough influence to
carry out the agreement, that if they wOnld turn
in and support Price delegates from there, they
would elect a friend of SmallwoOd's as alternate
to the State Convention, who should be allowed
to attend in place of the delegate. The alternate
in this District elected per agreement !;
but when the vote of Wathena, SmallwoOd's
stronghold, was counted ont, it footed mp more
than two to against Price. The vote of e.
wood, where they were mostly friends of Osborn,
was what saved the Price delegates. Aud yet,
they claimed that Prices friends should carry
ont the agreement! They fatty refused to do it,
aud JUSTLY too. Here is where old Squirt,
of the Reporter, conld put in his original turkey
and crow story to good advantage.
