THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.

In the proper place we publish the
calls of the State Central Committee
for the Republican State Conven-
ton and of the Congressional Com
mitiee tor the Congressional Con-
vention.
The campaign may be considered
as now fairly commenced. That il
will he one in which the public will
take great interest there is not a par
ticle of doubt. Every citizen has q
duty TO perform in this respect, and
negligence of that duty is the in
fiction of a wrong on society. We
hope aud expect to see a general iu-
terest manifested in the selection of
officers this fall. We hope, also,
that the Republican party will fully
appreciate the responsibility which
rests upon il to the country, to nomi-
nate its best men for office. Ii it
does this It will have but a compar-
atively easy task in maintaining its
past popularity at the ballot-box in
this State. IL 1t proves reereant to
the interests of the people-tO pure
government and the promulatiOng
of progressive principles, it deserves
and will reoeiye defeat. The Re-
publican party must be the party of
the people. In its representative
men and principles it must meet the
demands of the times. II must be
n live party. There is q great deal
of talk about the glorious record of
the Republican party. That is well
enough in its way, but parties can
not feed upon their record, any more
than n man can get along without
eating for week because he has
Toasted on glorious dinner. Polit-
ical managers must fully recognize
the present.
So far as the Changers of Kansas
are concerned we do not understand
it TO be their intention to form 4
separate party. All they want is
fair treatment 1t the hands of exist
ing parties. This they ought to
have and must have. In fact, so far
as this State Is concerned, they can
entirely control the Republican par
a.. We believe they, as citizens.
should take hold and help make the
party platforms and nominations
auch as every citizen may be willing
to support. There ought not 10 be
and cannot properly be any class
work ia running parties, and no
reasonable class OF nsen desire this.
The Republican party has done
more, ip the past two years, 40 pu-
rify the politics of the country fsan
all the parties that ever existed. We
need not stop 10 cite Instances liz
prlof of the above assertion for =
reading people. Let the good work
go OH. Every citizen who loves his
country is interested I'm having a
Senaine qualification OF politics.
Many wrong1O have been hurled
from place and power by The action
of Republican hodtes. We believe,
as matters aow stRpd, .&ist the Re-
publican party il The org@Ssi2aiion
through which this work can hest
be prosecuted. We don't waDt the
noise OF uneasy revointiOCists so
much as we want united, steady
and determined pull by the reIiaiaes
thinking masses. Let all classes,
then, unite in making The platforms
and tickets what hey ought to be,

Nor A CANDIDATE.-We see by a
card from ID. p. Lowe, in the FIT.
Scott Monitor, that he will not be a
candidate for Congress this fall.
This rather surprises us. The
State has had few public servants,
in our estimation, who have
brought to TIE discharge of public
duties more ability, faithfulness or
honest devotion to her true inter-
ests. As we look at the matter,
Mr.. Lowe has made but a single
mistake in his congressional ca
rrer, and that was his vote on what
il known as the SALARY grab. y
When his surroundings and motives
came TO be examined, we think
the people generally were disposed
TO look over that mistake, especially
as il is eoaRterbalaneed by his unim-
peachable integrity, and by three
years of conscientious and arduous
devotion 10 their best Interests.
He is very popular in his district,
and we know there is large pub
lie sentimen, I'm favor OF his return
should he run. We have no doubt
but that the announcement Of his
determination not to run again will
he a disappointment to his numer-
Gus islOnds throughout the second
district.

MORE SwISDLING. = A county
Superintendent in Kansas writes as
follows:
"Piease give me your opinion as
to the utility OF Woods mathe-
NAUTICAL Charts in the school room.
About a dozen districts in this
county have them, but / cannot see
that they are adapted to the wants
of our schools. and therefore adyise
them. Five agents were in the
county at one time selling them,
but they carefully avoided me, say
ing to school boards, when asked
my opinion about them, that the
law prohibited the superintendent
from recommending them. They
were sold at S34 per set.
Il. c. C."
1t seems pity, after all that has
been published upon these map anu
chart swindlers, that the directors
should fool away the money of the
people and the time Of the children
on the worthless things. Supt.
BatemaR, of Illinois, and Sppt.
Monteith, of Missouri, have both
exposed these swindling agents and
we have published these exposures
several times. School directors had
better order as advised, frsm some
responsible furnishing house.
