For the EAGLE.
From Kechi.

AT meeting of the citizens of Park
township, held at the Peck school
house, c. Sullivan was called to the
chair, and T.. p. Thompson was chosen
secretary. Mr.. kirkpatrick was called
on for speech who gave very terse
explanation as to the duty of all citi-
zens' including Democrats and Repub-
licans. Mr.. kirkpatrick was repeatedly
cheercd and applauded.
Mr.. w. d. Williams was then called
on for speech. After defining his
position in very satisfactory manner
L. P. Thompson made short address
and then Mr.. Stanley was called for,
who explained fully the mongrel OPP
position ticket showing the manner
in which the candidates were brought
out by partisan and family arrange
memts, with an inordinate desire for
office, particularly the fees. And who
are the men who ask the people to
vote for them on their own resonsi-
bilities, with no party or people to
back them up or hold them RESPONSE
BILE for their conduct or misconduct !!
A defeat of the Republicans this fail
would be disgrace to the great party
which saved the life of the nation and
to give over the oaptry into the hands
of those whcewJ6ld have ruined it
would be worse disgrace.
By an unanimous vote it was decided
to send the minutes to the EAGLE for
publication. Z. p. THOMPSON,
Secretary.

Party Discipline.

The expression, "party discipiine,'
has come to be used too derisively, for
it has a meaning of too high an order
and is of too much importance to be
lightly passed by, or sneered aside
Communities are divided upon certain
fundamental principles, the partisans
of each combine themselves into par
tics. Each of these parties meet for
the purpose of uniting their energies
to vitalize the principles they espouse.
The vitalzation of the principle is the
object upon which all agree; in tho
manner by which it shall be done. there
is sometimes a difference of opinion.
The whole theory of party organiza-
ton is that the method of procedure
shall be that one designated by the ag-
gregate Judgment OF the party. lie
who is so captious that he prefers TO
jeopardize the principles he pretends
to espouse by fighting the method
which his party has adopted to vital
ize the principle, is more devoted to
his own self-will than to the principle
itself and has no business to be one of
the party. Parties, as they are organ
lied, must retain party discipline in
nonessential as well as in essententials,
else they lose their power; become
demoralized and are worthless when
perfect harmony is needed. -Learea-

Election Returns.

The Central Committee has desig-
mated the EAGLE office as Republican
headquarters for the reception of cleo
ton news and returns the night and
day following the election, consequent
ly next Tuesday night the EAGLE
Office will be kept lighted and warmed
and the Committee, together with the
candidates and other gentlemen, will
be there to receive all returns and news
from the various townships and wards.
To this end the Republican Central
Committee for each township and
ward are requested to take down the
results at their own polls and forward
them at the earliest hour. If no Cen
trail Committee man should be present
at the close of the count the judges or
clerks will very much oblige the Com
mittee and facilitate our getting the
results to the people by keeping an
abstract of the vote on ticket or
blank piece of paper and forwarding
the same at the earliest practical mo-

Bill Williams.

"Oh, we viii lay out the Republican
nominee for Sheriff; We'll show the
farmers that they can't control the
best offices in the county"
This was the cry of the sorcheads,
Jobbers and their pets after the close
contest for the sherifialty in the Re-
publican Convention. They raised the
same howl on Massey two years ago,
and while they managed TO carry the
town against him, he was, neverthe-
less, elected by very handsome ma
jority.
The truth of the whole matter is
Bill Williams is an old settler, among
the very first that came to the valley
plain, hard orking farmer, whose
only offense is that he should have had
the impotence to ask the nomination
for Sheriff at the hands of the Repub-
licans of Sedgwick county. He asked
for il like q man and received it honor
ably and fairly, and all the rings, pets
and back-rcom jobs that have been
gotten up will hot come within half
mile of defeating him. When it comes
TO that point, in this or any other
country, that it must initiate against
a mans political preferment because
he is a plain farmer or plain mechan-
ic, our boosted franchise and indepen-
dencc will become mockery. Let
every man of the fifty-nine that com
posed that convention, let every one of
the present central committee, let eve
ry other nominee upon the regular
ticket. and let all Republicans who be-
lieve in honest aud fair dealing, make
it a point next Tuesday to help dem
oustrate that few malcontents. COM
biHed with few others devoid of all
principle, cannot. By any possible trick
or combination, defeat the will of the
Republican party of Sedgwick comfy
when fairly and honorably expressed
In convention.

The following, from the wichita

The following, from the Wichita
EAGLE, is good a. far as it goes:
We are neither for ssinfiation," "con-
traction or Immediate resumption. .
as we understand the intent and lepiti-
mate results of these policies, but we
are for that party and that policy
which will the most surely aud speedi-
", without undue commercial excite
ment or shocks TO the laboring and
commercial interests of the country,
make our greenbacks equivalent in
every particular to gold and silver.
The EAGLE is . Republican paper,
and a. consistent and able one, and
enunciates the above as Republican
doctrine, but it should understand
that the Republican party nan never
make "greenbacks equivalent in every
particular to gold and silver" so long
as its leading newspapers, politicians
and orators persist, in the INTEREST of
the national banks, in discrediting
greenbacks by denouncing them as
irredeemable rags. = Laurence
Standard.
No, friend Standard, we won't un-
derstand any such thing. 1T one time
it took two dollars aud eighty-fve
cents in grecnbacks to buy one dollar
in gold, and the Republican party, and
no other, has brought the greenback
up to its present value. What has
been done once and what is being done
every day can be done again. English
paper money sis equivalent in every
particular to gold and silver" and the
Republican party proposes that green
backs our own money shall be just
as good as anybody else's as good in
London or Paris as in Wichita. AS to
national banks, was not the system cs-
tablished for the purpose of maintain
ing home credit, and for keeping full
the body of circulation? Is it not in eff
feet a converting of bonds into circu-
lating medium aud at the same time
maintaining the credit of the Govern
ment abroad by inducing home capital
lists to hold the bonds at home? So soon
as the national banking system shall
have outlived its usefulness the Repub-
lican party stands ready to assist in
abolishing it. The Republican leaders
in denouncing greenbacks only desire
to show that they lack fourteen or fif-
teen per cent. of being what good
money ought to be, and that an in
crease of them, upon any other basis
than gold and silver, would render
them still less valuable. For one we
have no idea of doing away with
grecnbacks, nor dc we desire to see
their volume curtailcd in such man.

but we do want them made as valuable
as gold itself.

In all the furore aud sweating anxi.
ETY. upon the part of the ''rule or ruin
ring" we have failed to hear one Of
them charge unfairness or dishonora-
BILE action upon the part Of the Repub-
lican Convention. No man, be he Of
the ring, sorcheads or oppositionlsts
dare assert aught against the harmony,
sobriety and intelligence Of the con-
yention that put into tho field the
Irregular Republican Ticket" The
truth is it was made up, to large do
gree, of the very best men in Sedgwick
county and was noticably free of polit-
ital hacks. A charge that such men
were guilty of trading and jobbing
would be worse than foolishness.

John Tucker.

If ever Sedgwick county had a man
who tried harder than all others to
make 4 good, faithful and competent
officer, that man is John Tucker, our
present County Clerk. In all the local
chickering's and strifes that have oc-
CURED within the last two years, his
communication has been yea, yea, and
nay, nay, while he stuck 10 the accounts
of the people and the figures of his Of
| flee. As many of the voters OF the
county know, when Mr.. Tucker took
the office he was badly afflicted with
Inflammation of the eyes which, even
yet, are very weak. For fifteen months
his Office was beside our own. For
months it seemed that he must lose his
sight, and we, with others, tried to dis
suade him from work, recommending
the appointment Of deputy. His an
swer always was that he had been
elected to the place, that he could not
take the risk of disintorested person
with matters Of so great importance
TO the county.
These facts have not been used in his
behalf either in the Convention or be-
fore the people, and hc will not thank
US, probably, for doing SO, bat when
we see man trying, under such dis
couraging circum Instances, to do his du-
ty, We feel it not out of place to inform
our readers.
John Tucker has made not only
good, conscientious and correct Coun-
ty Clerk, but he has been one of the
most accommodating officers that the
county ever had.
The position of County Clerk is a
very important one, and experience in
the office is almost invaluable. He has
all tho accounts of the county to keep
straight, the tax-rolls to make up, the
business OF the Commissioners to keep
in shape, and in readiness for their ac-
ton. and outside of all other claims,
his knowledge of and conversancy with
the books, accounts and records is of
the greatest Importance. There has
not been charge, or even a whisper,
of iDcompetcncy or unfaithfulness in
the Office, or upon the part of John
Tucker, and the Republicans viii most
heartily endorse the wisdom of the
Convention in selecting him TO again
hold over and care for these important
trusts for another term, not only be-
cause it is politically and morally right
but because it is for The interest of the
people.

The Regular Republican Ticket.

publican nominees, a fac simtie of

Why They Do It.

The course of certain gentlemen in
Wichita, with reference to the election
of Nelson and Steele, is not the least
surprising to us. Their opposition is
based on dollars and cents. Steele and
Nelson are known to have not only
minds of their own, but back bone,
and these men know that if the Re-
publican nominees for Commissioners
are elected, they will have to pay their
just proportion of taxes. That's the
whole secret of their fight. When the
day comes for equalizing taxes they
cannot go before such board as Ja-
cobs, Nelson and Steele viii make and
fix their own assessments. That thing
win be played out, hence the effort to
elect two other men. These men claim
to be Republicans, even claim to have
leading influence, but they have heaps
of money and lands and they think
more of their lands and money than
they do of their political principles,
and since the hour that the Republicans
made the nominations they have not
been easy moment.
There is not q man in Sedgwick
county. be he Democrat or Republican,
that knows Steele, Nelson and Jacobs,
but that also knows them to be sqnare,
honest, straight forward men, whom
no set of money loaners or town rings
can run, or even influence wrongfully.

CROOKED CREEK, Oct. "a. 1875.
Mr.. EDIToR-Pleasant Hill Grange
had feast Saturday night, and the
tone of my song was "'twas sweet TO

While John Kelly and Pat. Mcdonald
were trying to go to Congress over to
Attica School House, (and we know
groaning inwardly over rising appe-
tite) we were happy, eating turkey,
(thanks TO wonderful Mrs. Martin, and
fast putting away the dozen pies wor-
thy Mrs. johnson rendered. We con-
triyed to muster up little sentiment
by sitting in the wagons and playing
''ring around q rosy" outside, while
the repast was being made ready. l
took pity on young bachelor with an
amber mustachio, (for which am par
tial), by giving him half my plate to
eat on but he put away the most tur-
key by asking me, after quarreling
about 1t, if | had read in the EAGLE
about the young lady who went home
because she couldn't behave herself. /
told him we wouldn't play any longer,
but | shouldn't take my dishes home to
please him.
We were glad everything was good,
for you know what queer sensations
one passes through upon saying, "what
horrid cake" and your right hand
neighbor glowers upon you and takes
the pains to inform you that she made
it. How we long to jump under the
table, and you never forget her face,
and are always sure to stand next to
her on every after-occasion.
/ overheard one man remark, that it
was surprising, tho insurance some peo-
pie had in crowding up to the table to
eat. You may know nc did not get to
the first table, or he would have failed
to see the point of that remark.
We had everything good to eat, and
guess all went home deciding that they
never had as much az this time. We
always do say it, this was one Of the
times at any rate. Long live the Grange

Spring Greek Meeting.

ED. EAGLE: design to give you o
brief synopsis of the discussion at the
Stafford school house in last evening,
between Judge Fisher and Judge
Campbell. These two gentlemen en-
tertained our Spring Greek boys with
rare treat on the great and vexed
question of finances.
The house was we'll filled with an
intelligent audience, Several persons
having come down from your city.
Judge Fisher was in favor Of the
United States Government issuing
grcenback currency TO pay off the
bonds held by the Comptroller of the
Currency, as collateral security for the
redemption of the National Bank
notes, and thereby save to the Govern
ment twenty millions Of dollars an
nually, in interest. Judge Campbell
replied in his forcible manner by an
eloquent and uuanswerable argument
in behalf of our Government and its
system of finances arguing that the
plan suggested by Judge Fisher would
flood our country with an irredeema-
BILE currency that would be SO much
deprecated in value as to render it al
most worthless. The Judge is in IA
vor of speedy return to specie ba-
sis, by our Government paying off the
bonds according to contract; that is,
all that are payable in gold, to be paid
in that coin, and as soon as the Gov
eminent can do SO.
Judge Campbell is sound OIL the
financial question. His principles, if
carried out faithfully, will insure us a
safe currency, and guarantee to every
farmer, mechanic aud merchant a
prosperous future. Every honest man
can endorse his views on this great
question.
feel satisfied that nearly all who
were present to hear this discussion
were persuaded that it is their duty as
good citizens to vote the Republican
ticket at the ensuing election. At q
late hour the meeting adjourned.
Judge Fisher challenged Judge
Campbell to discuss this same ques-
ton, on next Monday evening, at
Eagle Hall in your city. The discus
sion at our school house made many
Republican votes. Respectfully,
GYPSUM.

TOO Thin---The Circular Dodge.


We hear that the circular dodge is
again to be resorted to on the eve OF
election. The document is to denounce
in long array of ill-founded and sup
positions accusations, all the candi-
dates Oh the Republican ticket, except
such as the "manipulators" put upon
their own ticket. Particularly is it to
be leveled against the nominee for
Commissioner of the Second District,
John NJ. Steele. Such course is not
only discreditable but infamous. We
know nothing of who the authors are
nor who is TO father it, nor do we care.
The canvass is made up, and meetings
for all parts of the county have been
announced, and if anybody has any
thing detrimental to offer against John
Steele or auy other nominee, let them
come squarely out TO these meetings.
before the whole people, and make
their charges like men, and not at the
last hour hide themselves behind an
anonymous circular, like a skunk in a
brush heap, whose presence is only
known by the intolerabie stink that
pervades the surroundings.
1t may be that we have been misin-
formed, or that the parties intending
this undetermined, unmanly and assas-
sin-like warfare may lack the pusilani-
nous spirit to carry it out, but we do
say that if any one who claims to be a
Republican should be found out as
having hand in so mean proceeding
to break down his own party. he should
be kicked unceremoniously from the
fold. Such men have no principle and
the Republican party don't want them
and the Democracy wouldn't have
them

John Steele as a Railroad Agent,

About the hardest pushed dcma-
gogism, and most catfish political
bonanza ever invented by the milk and
water ring who put up the 'pet
ticket" is the assertion that John
Steele, the nominee fer Commissioner
of the second district, is railroad
agent. So fiat aud absurd was the at
tempted point, and so well understood
are the facts that Mr.. Steele thought
any explanation useless. But as the
charge is continually being rung on all
the changes, statement of the facts
will do no harm and might be the
means Of disabusilg the minds of
voters lately in the county. And
here's all there is to the owlish charge:
The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad has a grant of lands running
the entire length of their road. In
each county where these lands are To-
Gated the Land Commissioner sends
list of their lands to the most success
ful land agents of each county, with
instructions that when such agents are
showing their own lands if the BUYERS
should take notion to the railroad
lands and afterwards purchase, the
company pays the local agent for the
time and trouble of showing the
ground and giving the numbers aud
descriptions. That's all there is of
Messrs. Steele & Lew being the agents
of the railroad. Where piece of rail-
road land is sold they do not have the
privilege Of even making out the pa
pers, which is done in Topeka. The
amount allowed in no case amounts to
even a commission and would not pay
the livery hire. Agents indeed. any
farmer or anybody else can get the
same privilege. Messrs. Steele &Levy
cannot even get a pass on the road for
their services, but pay their fare the
same as anybody else.
II may seem foolish to make expla-
nation of such small matters, but we
would hate 10 hear that any honest
man had been misled by such ground
less and foolish charges, therefore the
above
