POLITICAL NOTES.

The Winfield Courier does not hoist
the ticket, but we judge it will do so,
as it seems to be satisfied with it.
Two years ago Osborn, with a DOR
ton of the republican press in oDDo-
sition to him, ran very well and we
are inclined to the belief that he win
do better now. He has without doubt
been an excellent goYernOr.-Chase
County Leader.
The Troy Republican thinks Col
Phillips will have at least 10 coo ma.
jOrity in his district. 1t says:
"The people will find little diff
Guilty in choosing between a live
man, who has made a good con-
gresham, and lazy and broken
down politician who was shelyed
long ago just in the nick of time"
The Fredonia Citizen s'cannot and
will not support Governor Osborn"
Of the balance of the tieketit says:
-~ssWfth but one or two exceptions the
State ticket suits us, and we regard it
as q strong One-one of the best ever
presented to the people of Kansas for
their suffrages. 1t is well distributed
over the State and represents all sec
tlons much better we believe than any
ticket ever before nominated in the
State"
About as good thing as can be
done for Governor Osborn is for
such bobtails as Gewhillikens p.
Smith to go around the country
abusing him. We see this fellow
has already opened on the 6over-
nor in Southern Kansas. The sop
position" in this state has always
been unfortunate in having to carry
q lot of such fellows as Ridiculous
and GewhilIikens Smith. Repub-
licans have never desired any bet
ter thing than to turn them loose af.
ter the Republican leaders.
The Girard Crawford CO Press
was bitterly opposed to the re-nom-
ination of Coy. Osborn, but it hoists
the whole Republican ticket, and |
win support it. 1t says:
fHThe ticket, with the exception of |
its head, is the strongest and best
ever nominated, and will be elected |
by large majority. The nominee
for Governor was not our choice,
nor do VIC believe him to be such q
man as the Republicans should have |
for q leader but as between
him and Cusey the people have bnf
One choice and that is to vote for
Thomas A. Osborn"
The Re6ormers are certainly inn
proving. Nothing could be more
diotic than the composition of their
tate ticket. But the local tickets
ire better. The state ticket might

Wheat Sowing, Etc.


Wheat Sowing, Etc.
The grasshoppers have come and
gone, and left behind them many
bare fields and sad hearts. But lit
tie corn was saved in this country
from the hungry little birds. And
they delighted, too, in melons,
vines and all nor did the trees es-
cape their persistent jaws. In fact
they seem to have particular
fondness for everything in the veg
etable kingdom that might in any
way be useful or beneficial to man.
Still Marion county has reason to
be thankful, for though nearly all
the corn was destroyed, there is
still a pretty fair supply of wheat
in the county and good crops of
oats, which were saved before the
grasshoppers made their appear
anee. And although we have by
no means a surplus, we are in far
better condition than some of the
counties south and west of this.
The road is daily filled with wag-
ons bearing families from Reno and
Sumner counties to some of the
eastern States to spend the winter.
They say it is utterly impossible to
winter in those counties. Many
families are now in a starving con-
dition.
There will be but few hogs
fattened in this county this season.
A great many have already been
shipped out of the state.
Grass has been tolerably good
in this section, though pretty well
dried up now. But quantity OF
good hay has been put up. Marion
county will probably have a consid-
cradle amount of hay to sell.
The drouth holds on wonder
fully. We had a sprinkle last
Thursday, but it hardly moistened
the top of the ground. Cotton
wood is said to be lower than it has
been before for ten years. Nearly
all the mills on that stream have
ceased to grind for want of water.
The Florence mill still grinds some,
but nothing like it could do with a
good stage of water.
Florence is ''coming out of the
kinks" The Presbyterians arc
building a neat stone church.
They arc determined that it shall
no longer be said that Florence has
no church
Pixies new stone hotel presents
quite an imposing appearance. In
deed the building would do credit
to any city in the state, and Flor
ence may well be proud of it and
proud of Mr.. Pike as well, who has
had public spirit and enterprise
enough to add such an ornament to
the town.
The grangers have built a large
granary and elevator at Florence,
WACAO SACJ I'LL SLOIC tHClE gram
| and sell it when the price suits
| them.
The steam mill at Peabody is
now doing a staving business. 1t
has been crowded since harvest.
The Mennonites are taking this
country by storm; several hundred
families haYe arrived in Peabody
in the last few weeks, and they still
continue to como by the car load
almost every train. They are buy
ing up all the teams and surplus
stock to be had.
The Methodists in Peabody are
now occupying their new church
every Sunday. They have Sunday
school at 9, A. NJ. and preaching at
II o'clock.
Farmers are now busy putting
in fall wheat. Many hesitated for
some time on account of the grass
hoppers; but they are nearly all
now betting against Mr.. Grass-hop-
per, and sowing all the wheat
groud they can get ready.

son that the State was already in
