Our County Campaign.


The Sedgwick county Republican
campaign is moving off splendidly.
a large majority Of the leading Re-
pubilcans of the county and city, have
awakened 10 real earnestness and a
sincere desire not only to sec the regu-
lar ticket endorsed as a whole, but TO
put such check on shystering and
shysters as will be remembered. An
honest opposition, be it democratic,
Independent or what not, might be re-
spected; but this yearly endeavor Of
few who cannot rule, TO divide and
thus bring the Republican organiza-
ton to defeat, is becoming unbearable
as il is monotonous and disgusting.
The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1875-10-21

The ST. Joseph Gazette says: "The
lesson of the Ohio election teaches
that if the question of currency con-
traction is 20 enter the Presidential
contest, we may as well put our houses
III order for immediate specie resump-
ton and the election of U. S. Grant TO
his third term on hard money plat
form" Sealed proposals will now be
received for new set of principles"
for the Democratic party.
The Wichita city eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1872-1883, 1875-10-21

The Atchison Champion says that
since the new fee bill went into effect
the fees of the Clerk of the District
Court in that county have not aver
aged TO exceed one dollar per day. 1t
adds:
The law OF last winter was hastily
framed, and is imperfect in several re-
spects. The fees and salary of the
treasurers, for instance, are founded
upon wrong basis. Population regu-
lates the salaries paid these officers.
Yet the work they do and the RESPONSE
bilities devolving upon them are not
regulated by population in all cases.
In many counties of the State large
proportion OF the land is homesteaded,
and pays no taxes. This largely di-
minishes the labors and responsible
ties Of the treasurers of those counties,
yet every inhabitant counts in regu-
lating their salaries.
