A. R. BANKs.-Capt. Banks will be before the
Republican State Convention, as candidate for
Secretary of State. To say that be possesses the
very highest qualifications for the office, would
be telling only the truth. In the matter of cler-
ical fitness, be is the best in the State; and his
knowledge of affairs pertaining to that office,
eminently ct him for the position. Any person
who has ever been member of the Legislature,
can testify to his thorough business qualitca-
tions.
of the many aspirants for this Office, we know
of but three who are really qualified to'fll it: A.
R. Banks, Ward BariiBgame and D. B. Emmert.
If fitness is made the test, of them will get it;
but if it is swapped off for votes on other offices,
there is no telling what will be the result.

rV The Troy Chief seldom makes a mistake that its
reference the Laurence Commonwealth especially
noticeable We only mention it u add that Sol Miller is
one of the writers the Western
Gdrnttt PdiRdedier.
No mistake at all. We did it "a-purpose."
The Commonwealth, in quoting from our paper,
almost invariably calls it the white Cloud
Chief" although we have several times called
its attention to the matter, calculated to mis-
lead the public, and cause mail matter intended
for us to be missent. We then made up our
mind to always call it something else than the
Topeka Commonwealth, until it behaved itself.
We think we have named it about everything ex-
cept the Garnett Commonwealth; but we propose
TO exhaust the Kansas Post-Ofice Directory for
names, unless the Commonwealth comes to time.

Phillips feeling is very strong in those Counties
The effort of Mr.. Phillips to concentrate every
thing land Office, money order office, and mail

working up very bitter feeling against him,
and while he may gain few individual votes

fourteen years, has a mania for numbering chill

in seeing sheep and calves slaughtered. Did her

onderdonk, an Episcopal dignitary, in New York,
was tried by his Church for amorous practices
with sisters of his congregation. At that time,
they didn't call it "nest-hding." The sensation
was so great, that rough caricatures of his per-
formances even appeared in the nigger almanacs.

ROUGH ON CHRisT.--Elizabeth Cady Stanton
has been interviewed on the Beecher-T Tilton puke.
She relates a conversation which she had with
one Wilkerson, thus:
At the time of first knowledge of the affair Mr..
wkerson also heard # it, He besought the ladies not
make it public. To hin it was matter Of money; he was
stakeholder in the Plymouth church stockhoer in the
Christian Uuion and in the Life Of Christ Now the de-
structon of Beechsr would be the destruction of all
these; Mr. Wkrrsol expressed it, ut would knock the
Life of Christ higher than kite Hence his concern
in keeping the matter secret.
1t is consolinS to know that the Life of Christ
was saved from wrcck but what can save
Beecher from making the lofty flight that his
friend feared was in store for the Life of Christ

who are wrapped mp in them, are "nest-hiding F"
