,ruE ocTopER ELECTION.


II will DO several months before our
candidates will be 10 the field for tho dr.
ferCnt positions to be filed at tho next
election, but it is not day too soon for
Democrats and Conservatives to talk this
matter over, aud that too in spirit Of
umity, like members Of common family
Actuatcd by no other motive than desire
to SEQ our State or Federal policy, as the
case may be, shaped in accordance with
the timc.houored principles Of the party
To have those principles carried out With
6delily,is The main thing to DO considered
in selecting representative men, The
time was when Offices sought men, because
Of their known capacity and if that rule
oaly obtained to a greater extent now We
would in very many Instances have much
better men filing tho various positions Of
public trust. Nominations should never
DO nado merely to satisfy the aspirations
Of ambitious politicians, without stopping
10 inquire whether they would be entirely
acceptable to the party, for where such
considerations are disrcgardcd, thoimpro
priety Of such q course is often demonstra
ted 10 our sorroWby the popular verdict at
the polls. Any man who is for himself
6rst and party next, can never make a
successful leader, for the obvious reason
that he is knoWu'to lack that true inter-
est in his party which is so necessary to
success.
Then 10 order to preserve our strength we
should never lose sight ofthesc plnio truths,
especially, when it is to be remembered
that our party, as its name implies, /,
composed Of different elements formed in
to the present great party alta time when
passion ruled the day, and it was manifest
that every principle Of free government
was about to be tramplcd under feet.
1t would be better by far that any man
or set ofmon be consigned forever to re-
tircment, than that spiri! Of di'cord
should to auy extent disturb tue party =
In this county, for instance, there are many
men capable Of representing US, any MA
ny would doubtless, like to do so, as self
sacrificing patriots are by no means scarce
but it is equally true that oil cannot be &C
commodated, therefore, these that may bt
disappointed must bow gracefully to the
popular will The chief source of OUT
strength 10 the beginning was our cordial
cooperation, aud certainly there can be nc
good reason for its abandonment now
Cur party prospects were never better
We have been pleased to SEQ with what
unusual eS7uesiness the Democratic and
Conservative brotbren Of the press through
out the State are preparing for the canvass
o,-ald nov comes tho good news thai
Connecticut has wheeled Into line to lend
US the moral influence of her great vioto'
ry. Let US then beware Of the machiOa'
items Of our adversaries, who will spare no
pains to produce dsscnsiOn amongst US,
knowing that their only possible hope is
10 this kind Of warfare. Being forWarn'
ed wo should be foro.armed and stand
closely together 10 defense Of our 3rinci'

as this, We may reasonably calculate upon

Texas Trade-The FRS: Order for liverpool.

Since the return OF the board Of trade
delegation from Texas, correspondence
has been going on between gentlemen
at both ends of the line and between
railroad officers relative to grain ship
ments from Kansas City to Galveston,
10 load steamers for Liverpool. Steadi-
Iy the situation has approached nearer
and nearer to that condition wherein
an order tor shipment could be given,
until yesterday, when tho order came
by telegraph, for thirty thousand
bushels Of corn.
The party sending the order is Mr..
Hurley, agent for the Liverpool steam
ship line, and is for tonnage for that line.
Thos. j. Bigger is tho recipient, and
although the freight rate is not so good
as We hopo the lines may yet offer US,
we understand that it is MIR. Bigscr's
intention to fill it at once. This will
be the first shipment to Liverpool from
Kansas City direct by Galveston, and
there can be no doubt that it will be the
inauguration of most extensive and
important business. Let the people
keep the subject alive, and send their
grain along at the lowest rate that tan
be obtained, until adequate trade ana
adequate facilities have been provided,
and lower rates must follow.-kansds
