KANSAS AT CINCINSATI-Kansas has inst rea-
son to de proud of her delegation at Cincinnati.
They commanded the sincere respect of all
parties by pursuing a straightforward, manly
course, not tinctnred in the slightest degree
with the disposition manifested by some delega-
tions to get on the winning side They fairly
and faithfully stood by Mr.. Blaine all the way
through. voting for him solidy on every ballot,
and working for him with enthusiasm and vigor
during the previous canvass. They said moth
ing to offend the friends of other candidates
but their own position was positively. declared
and fairly understood by everybody. They treat
ed consulting delegations representing Mr. Bris-
tow, Mr.. Morton, Gov. Hayes, and other candi-
dates with courtesy and consideration, but
stated firmly that in supporting Mr. Blaine they
believed they faithfully represented the Republi-
can sentiment of Kansas, aud hence he sheuld
have their support 20 the last. The Republi-
cans of Kansas were honestly, ably and credita-
bly, represented by they delegation the sent to
Cincinnati.-4tckisiOR Champion.

70 Judge Horton recently went to Hiawatha,
ostensiby to make Republican speech but he
put in his time persnading some Brown County
lawyer that he stood good chance for the Judi
cial nomination, and urged him to secure dele
gates at home for himself. The trap was success
full. The opposition to Hubbard in Brown Coun-
ty was divided, attention was drawn from the
main issue, and Hubbard got his delegates. Hor-
toms especial interest in the matter is this
The firm of Horton and Waggener run Hubbard,
and command his rulings and decisions as they
choose. 1t was too good thing to give up. A
law firm could not desire a softer thing. The
Democrats will find Waggener using all his un-
derhand cunning to confuse their Convention or
to induce it to take such action as will inure to
Hubbard's benefit.

KICK EN- OuT.-We have heretofore been la
boring nn'ler the delusion that it was the policy
OF political parties to gain as many accessories
from the ranks of their opponents as possible,
and that a pledge to vote the ticket of a party,
gave man right to vote for the nomination of
candidates of that party. 1t seems we were mis-
taken A man who was long ago committed to
the support of Hayes and Wheeler, was objected
to as delegate in Republican Convention, be-
cause at one time he was considered rather DEM
ocratic In his views. A delegate in Republican
convention was soundly abused because he had
voted for Greeley. And yet it seems to make all
the difference in the world what candidates these
former Democrats favor. At the same election
at which the former Democrat was objected to as
delegate, the most rabid Democrats were al
lowed to vote, without ever promising to sup
port the Republican Presidential nominee; and
in the Convention where the Greeley man was
abssed, were delegates elected by the lowest
class of Democratic saloon bummers. We are in
favor Of taking measures to keep these Demo-
Gratis in their places. This is a fruitful season
for rotten eggs. We propose campaign fund
for buying rotten eggs, (no reference to Nemaha
County delegates,) and whenever a man who
was once known suspected to have voted
Democratic ticket, comes around and says he pro-
poses hereafter to vote the Republican ticket let
every Republican grab handful of those rotten
eggs, and pelt him into the wilderness. This is
the only way in which the Republican party can
preserve its integrity.

such as kissing, &c.-especially &c. Her screams
brought assistance, and Phelps skedaddled to
his room, closing the door just in time to avoid
a shot from a revolver. The excuse is offered,
that he was drunk. 1t is no discredt for a DEM
ocratic candidate for Governor of Missouri to be
drunk

How ARE YoU, PURITY.-The Hubbard stub
of the Hiawatha Convention appointed Judi
cial District Committee, and made b. B. Gale, of
Atchison, Chairman. This is a splendid out look
for pure Judiciary. B. B. Gale, who stands
convicted, in an official report, of being public
plunderer and thief, at the head of the District
Committee! b. B. Gale, who cannot make an
honest living out of Office, and who is always an
offfce-holder, and tool for the men in power.
This appointment means that Hubbard intends
to perpetuate his power, and obtain a nomina-
ton for another four years, if elected this time.
We also notice that C. Leland has been put on
the Committee for Doniphan County. He repu-
dates the whole thing, and will not have any
thing to do with that Committee. Why didn't
they put John L. Blair on He is just the man
they need

G0BBLE, GoBBLE, GOBBLE-We think Doni-
phan County, by this time, has belly full of the
gobbling disposition of Atehison. Last weeks
experience was enough to satisfy every body that
she is determined to have it all, by foul means if
fair will not succeed. They opposed David Mar
tin, although an Atchison man, because he had
the independence to take a stand against the cor
rupt and nsufferable ring that has long controll-
ed the Republican party of Atchson, and because
he even dared to say that a competent Doniphan
County man was preferable to an Atcbison imbe-
cile. He met and defeated that ring in their own
stronghold, but because he would not stoop to
bribery and fraud, he was beaten out of the
fruits of his victory. We hope that this is but a
beginning of the uprising of independent Repub
iicans of Atchson against the sway of the ring.
But it should at least be a spur to urge Doniphan
County to set mp herself. We have been a mere
dependency of Atchson, in trade and politics, for
years. She takes the Offices, and we do the vot-
ing. From present prospects, Hubbard will not
get 500 votes out of the 5000 that Doniphan
County will poll. Atehison tried to run the
delegate elections in this County, on the 5th and
partly succeeded. Let now adopt Atchison
tactics, and make it uncomfortable for any man
who will assist in helping an Atchison ring poti-
clan into a position one who has proven
himself friend to Doniphan County. We will
never amount to anything, nor be respected in
political circles, until we act for ourselves and
stand by those who stand by Ms.
Whenever we find an Atchisen man with suffi-
cient independence to rebel against the corrupt
and unscrupnlous political ring in that City, that
assumes to control the Republican party and mo-
nopolize the Offices, enforcing its terrorism by
crying down all opponents as being opposed to
Atchison interests, we shall feel like doing what
we to assist him, whether it be David Mar
tin, Mr.. Guthrie, or any other man but it is our
opinion that, in this Centennial year, Doniphan
County proposes to declare herself independent
of the Atchson Ring, its hangers IN and strikers,
who have earne for that reservoir of wind and
greed the appropriate name of Hog-Town.

PrS PICTURE OF TnDEN's BAcKER--The
editor of the Washington (Iowa) Press thus de-
seribes John Morrissey he appeared at st.
Louis as first friend to Tilden; "But the most
magnificent animal in st. Louis was John Nor
rissey, ex-pugilist, ex,Congressman, and gamo,
short horn: six feet high, shoulders three or
four feet board, built from the ground up-no
fabby flesh, no pronounced bay wind, but solid
muscle, steel nerves, bones of irun-muscled like
Roman gladiator. His face is by no means
brutal. the eve is not vicious, nor is the broken
nose ANYTHING like the proboscs that that wick
ed Mast always puts on Johns frontispiece. The
eye is steady, aud as Emerson says of some eyes,
it looks ont at you like loaded gun. 1t would
take tremendous pluck 10 face that Colossus in
ouiet bearing, but lie betting on Tilden,
and raked in one bet of 10000; we don't know
how much more he won. John wants REFORM
and looks to Sammy for it."

Timle.
1t will be seen that is long dash, and a
short one, while M is two short dashes close to-
gether, each dash the length of t. As telegraph
ers receive reports wholly by sound, it will read
lily be seen how, in the hurry, little too long
impression upon the t, or too short upon the !,
might cause one to be taken for the other, or
how two t's run close together might be mstak-
en- for m. 1t requires accurate time and spacing
on the part of the operator, well as practic-
ed ear on the part of the receiver, to telegraph
correctly. The above illustration will explain
many curious blunders found in the telegraphic
reports. The only wonder is that they are so
few. The operator must sit for hours, keeping
his fingers in rapid motion all the time, while
the receiver must listen, remember, and write
down, as fast as the other produces the sounds
for the receiver knows from the click of the
instrument, just what characters the other is
making-whether dashes or dots, how arranged,
and what space between them all.

Il subscriber at Dunkirk, n. Y, renewing
his subscription, says he can't get along without
the Chief, at least until Hayes and Wheeler are
elected. He says the people of that section do
not propose to let the handling of this Govern
ment go back to the party that tried their best
to destroy it, and that if we cannot put down the
traitors in Kansas, they will lend us hand from
old York State. We had thought that Kansas
was one of the most certain States for Hayes and
Wheeler, but are glad to know that the New
Workers are so confident of carrying their State,
that they are willing to help their neighbors.
We think there is not the least doubt about Ell
ther State going Republican.

70 Why was it that the Hubbard managers
at Hiawatha, the night before the meeting OF
the Convention, telegraphed all over Doniphan
County for individuals to come up To lobby, and
represent that large portion of the people OF
the County were opposed to Perry. As far as
the influence of the crowd sent for was concern
ed, they might as well have taken so many tai
low candles for railroad spikes. But it is a sig
nificant fact, that every man so drummed up
was supporter of Guthrie. We know of but
four Guthrie men from this County who went to
Hiawatha to work for Perry, and one of them
was delegate, elected to vote for Perry. When
Mr. Guthrie and his friends complain of his treat
ment in this County, it would be well enough
for them to explain the above circumstance.

S After John L. Blair's high toned perform
ance at Hiawatha, last week, he remarked that he
had got even with the people of Doniphan Coun-
ty now; that he owed them good turn and had
now had a chance to pay it. He referred to two
years ago, when the Republicans of this County
nominated him for State Senator, and tried their
best to elect him, but it being a perverse year
ne was defeated with the balance of the ticket.
he took the first occasion to betray the people of
the County, by way of revenge. But such tricks
keep remarkably well, and he will find it gig
back ON him sometime when it will be uncom.
Portable for him. 1t has been said that the in
stincts of the masses are generally correct. They
certainly were, two years ago, when they voted
him first-class fraud, by over 500 majority.

'HARMoNY."-The Atchison Champion begs for
harmony, now that the Judicial Convention is
over aud for all to unite to elect the Republican
nominee. Yes, after getting all they wanted by
bribery and fraud, they ask those whom they
defrauded to harmonize, and help them carry the
outrage through to a successful issue. They will
get enough of "harmony," before they are thro'
with it. We had an opportunity to consult with
men from all parts of the County, Saturday, and
none of them estimated the majority against
Hubbard in Doniphan County at less than 1000.
That is 500 more than we estimated it. 1t will
not win, either, to raise. the cry that this will
elect Democrat. If they find it necessary to
elect Democrat to beat Hubbard, they will do
it with great alacrity. The day is past when a
corrupt i'm beetle could be imposed upon the Re-
publican party in order to prevent the election
of competent Democrat.

THE Dayton (Ohio) Journal says: "On the
day the committee of which Sam Tilden was a
member pronounced the war a failure, General
Hayes was leading a victorious brigade up the
valley of Virginia; when Hayes was entering on
his first term as Governor, Tilden was still the
counsel and political ally of Boss Tweed; while
Hayes was serving in the Union army, Tilden
was quareling with the draft and lending moral
support to those who resisted it; when Hayes
enters the White House, Tilden will be laid
amid the broken lumber of a treacherous and
rickety party platform"
