The Congregational canvass.

On last Tuesday evening Judge W.
K. Brown, the Republican nominee for
Congress from this district, and Col
onel Z. McDougal, of Topeka, adj
dressed the people of this town and
vicinity upon the political issues OF the
day. The Judge was in the best of
humor, and the large crowd present
were treated to an excellent speech.
Having been Republican all his life,
OF course he was pleased to dwell upon
the many successes of the great party
OF the country.
The position taken was that there
were but two parties in the country
the Republican and DemOcratic-that
in voting the reform ticket we would
of necessity vote tor a Democrat
That unless a member of Congress was
Republican he must OF necessity vote
with the Democrats. We conclude
Judge Brown made many friends by
his speech here, and we have reason t.
believe he will secure a handsome vote
from the people of our county.-El-

tracts and papers, charged to have
been taken secretly from Walkers
trunk, are therein set forth at
length, and are the contracts upon
which Lappin & ScrafTord rested
their defense in that snit. An ex-
animation of the papers now in the
Office of the district court of Lyon
county, will show that this fabrica-
ton about Mr.. Lsppin taking any
contracts from Walkers trunk, has
not even truth for q handle, and
that the falsehood is so blunt as to
shock the intelligent understanding
of thinking men. Walker never
stated or made oath that lap

enemies are trying to give this con-
struction to a portion of petition
drawn by an attorney upon which
to base a cause of action in behalf
of Walker.

GEORGE JOHNSTON.

George Johnston, Republican
for Representative in this
district, has lived here six or seven
years. He has been busily engaged
upon his farm nearly all that time,
in which capacity he is a hard
worker. He came from Iowa to
Kansas, where he was engaged in
farming after the war. Before the
war he was employed most of his
time as a school teacher. He en-
tered the service as a private i'll the
10Th Iowa infantry, and made a
splendid record as soldier, as we
learn from gentleman in this city
who was in the same command
with him. He was IN the battle of
Prairie GroYe, where so many brave
Kansans gave up their lives for
their country, being under Her
ron's command. Afterwards went
south; commanded a company at
the severe battle of Sterling Farm,
La, where he was taken prisoner.
He was kept al Tyler, Texas, in one
of the loathsorne rebel prisons pro-
vided by rebels for Union soldiers,
for period of ten months. He,
with a number of others, broke out
of the prison during the time, but
was re-captured by means OF blood
hounds. The joyous exchange fin
ally came, and Mr.. Johnston was re-
leased. After this he went to the
Gulf, where he spent the remainder
of his term in active service in AL
ALBANIA and Florida. lie was at the
seige of Mobile. In all his soldier
life lie was faithful and trne to
every trust. When his term was
out he occupied the position of adj
jutant of his regiment.
After the war he returned to the
farm in Iowa, but soon caught The
Kansas fever, and emigrated to this
place. lie opened the first dairy
here and built the property now &C.
cupied by X MacLennan, just
northwest of the city. lie after
wards bought his farm near Ply
mouth, where he has since lived.
Last fall when the farmers ticket
was nominated, Mr.. Johnston was
selected for the important office of
County Commissioner. This was
done without his seeking and with
out his knowledge. In this capaci-
ty he has been faithful, and prompt,
and those who know tell US he has
made No. commissioner. lie is
man of good intelligence and
sound judgment, has an unblem-
ished character, and possesses just
the kind of material to make a good
Representative. His interests are
all here, and the 6Sth district can
trust him to look after her affairs
in the legislature.
Mr.. Johnston has been, all the
time, a straightforward and true
Republican, and is yet. The nomi-
nation for Representative was Civ
en- him without his seeking by the
Republican convention, the dele
gates feeling confident that they
could safely put the trust in his
hands. We believe him to be the
sort of man the people want in Of
flee, and hope they will give him a
large majority at the polls on the
third of next month.

the Republican party has been and
is doing much in this way. But the

THEE QUESTION OF ELUGI.
RlWHTV

Another matter has been raised
against w. Il. Brown, and that is
that he is not eligible. If he is
not then Goodin is not, and the
lieformers have made the same
mistake we have. But how does
the matter stand? The Constitu-
ton OF the United States provides
that a man who has reached a GER
tain age and has certain qualiflca-
lions, shall be eligible to 9 seat in
Congress. Our State constitution
provides that a Judge "shall not
DO elected to any other Office dur
ing the term for which he is elect
cd" These two provisions must
be reconciled. If they cannot be,
the constitution of the United
States controls. Can a State con-
stitution make restrictions TO a
mans eligibility that the constitu-
ton of the United States does not
make? If so, then q property or
q landed qualification might be
made, and poor men, professional
men, or mechanics, excluded. This
would evidently be absurd. Yet
here the claim is the came, that
tho State constitution excludes
Judges. The State has no such
power, and it's constitution must
be construed in connection with
the constitution of the United
States, and its provisions must be
considered as having been made in
view of the provisions of the con-
stitution of tho United States, and
hence as having no reference TO
members of Congress, whose quail
ifications are fixed by the latter
instrument. The constitution of
Illinois contained q similar pro-
vision, aud yet Judge Trumbull
was elected to the U. S. Senate,
and when the question came up
in the Senate, which was strongly
States Rights and Democratic, that
body said, emphstically, that the
constitution of Illinois could not
control in such a matter. Hon. u.
+. Lowe was n District Judge
when frat elected to Congress, and
who raised the question on him ?
The matter is too frivolous to need
attention. Certainly ii does not
trouble tho Judges, who are sup
posed to know the law. Judges
Bailey, Morton, Stafford and King
man, of this State, have at different
times aspired to seates in the Unit
ed States Senate, and the question
of eligibility was not raised on
them; and we remember that one
time, O number of years ago, when
tho Neosho Valley wanted u. S.
Senator. Judge Watson WAS nom
mated by n mass meeting at this
place, and was as much pleased
with the compliment as a boy with
q bran new top, and hoped he could
get the support of the Neosho VAL
Icy for that high position. We re-
member, too, Judge Stevens, of Mi
ami county, was before the Reform
convention at Ottawa when Judge
Goodin was nominated, and Judge
Campbell before our convention
when Judge Brown was nominated.
Surely these expounders of the law
must be wofnlly ignorant of its
meaning. All moral periurers! We
pause for breath.

COUNTY ATTORNEY.
The Kind Of a MAN lLe Re.
formers Nominated.

Mr.. EDITOR Il am a reformer in
every sense of the word, but do not
allow myself to be carried away by
any "hue and cry" of reform, and
1 do not think my sense of daty as
an individual reformer will be
warped into voting for q candidate
of the Reform party merely because
he IS such candidate.
The Reform party has nominated
a candidate for County Attorney
for whom l for one will not vote.
He, in his we'll known selfish spirit,
has dealt to the city of Emporia the
severest blow which it ever re-
ceived. Residing here for over ten
years, purchasing property and Civ
ing warrantey deeds to it in the
city, holding out inducements to
persons to purchase property here,
selling his own property to them
and receiving their money for it
Notwithstanding all this, he COM
menced an action in the district
court to actually steal the north
half of the tOwnsite of Emporia
from its present owners and occu-
pants, and to give it to q man who
had paid one dollar for a quit claim
deed from persons who had no
more interest in the property than
the Quen of England. This defect
in the title, if there be one, was
known to him during all this time,
but never did he mention it to any
one until the statute of Limitation
had nearly run then he commenced
q suit which, in the opinion of ey-
cry one, was a blacK-mailing ar
from beginning to end.
If it had not been for the COM
of that suit Emporia
would to-day have double her pres
ent population, and double her
present wealth.
Yet this is the man who now pre-
,ents himself for county attorney,
Ind who, without regard to the
