THIS is the way the Globe Democrat
feels about the matter-provided the
Democrats have been successful: ave
hope those enthusiastic Republicans who
went to Cincinnati determined to nOmi-
nate.Mr. BristOw, but at all events to
beat Mr.. Blaine, feel cheerful over the
results announced by telegraph. As for
us and our house, we are still for Blaine"
This may ease some Republicans dow in
their defeat, but if the next President is
not Republican it will not be because
the Cincinnati convention did not act
wisely, both in the adoption of plat
form and in the selection of candidates
The principles announced by that con-
vention are in harmony with the prog
ressive spirit of the times and are essen
tial to the successful administration Of Il
republican government, and they will
eventually prevail. The candidates of
that convention have passed through the
campaign without scratch, and whether
they have been elected or defeated, they
have been proven worthy of the high
hOnors conferred on them by their party

THE returns from this State are not
complete enough to give the exact ma
jorities for the Republican candidates,
but it is safe to say that the majority for
the Republican candidates, but it is safe
to say that the majority for Hayes will
be at least $4,000. Anthony's majority
will be over 10000 All three of the
Republican candidates for Congress are
elected by good majorities, and the Leg
stature is overwhelmingly Republican.

In this Congressional district John K.
Goodin waged an unequal warfare. and
of course was defeated. The district
being largely Republican he was com
PEELED 70 make the campaign alone, for
to have had prominent Democratic ora
tors help him would have aroused a
party spirit which it was his object to
keep down. On the other hand the Re-
publican State Central Committee sent
into the district to assist Mr.. Haskell in
his thorough campaign the ablest speak
ers in the State, who presented the true
issues-as understood by Republicans
involved in the contest, and Mr.. GOodin's
election would have been q political
triumph seldom if ever achieved by one
man.

The New York papers say it has cost
81, 800, 900 to carry on the campaign for
the Democracy. Tilden is said to have
contributed more than ten per cent OF
this sum. If any other prominent Dem
ocrat is anxious to pay a fortune for the
privilege of being badly beaten, let him
now speak or hereafter forever hold his
peace.

BUILDING, FENCING
AND FUEL.

One of the special advantages which
this county possesses over the treeless
plains of Western Kansas is found in
its timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half a mile or
more, ami the quality isexcellent, fur
nishing a reasonable supply for all prac.
teal purposes, Is is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds So. so per cord. In
the eastern and less timbered portion OF
the county coal of fair quality is mined
in quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt be devel-
oped as the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abounds in many local
tiles, yet so disposed as to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil.

IT Is fearful-to Republicans-to con-
template what slaughter there will be
among postmasters, revenue collectors,
ETC., etc. For sixteen long years the
Democrats have been anxiously waiting
for chance to feed from the public crib,
and now they have got it. What con-
ISOLATION for some Of them to think that
for four years at least they will drink At
the expense of the Government.

Kansas will justly feel proud.

This gives Hayes one majority of the
electoral votes, the remainder of the
Southern States with Indiana, COnnecti
cut, New York and New Jersey, having
only 1874 votes; but of the these States
Florida is close and doubtful, and even
louisiana on the official count may be
found for Tilden. We are sorry to have
to admit it, but it looks as though Slip

growing of wheat, corn, fruit, and to
stock raising; all of which succeed ad-

Land at Pioneer Prices Without an,
Of the Privations Of Pioneer Life!

AMONG the many localities in Kansas
which offer peculiar advantages to the
Home-Seeker, Allen County, as regards
Location, Soil, Water, Timber, Cheap
Land, Convenience to Market, Facilities
for transportation, Towns, Settlements
and Society, stands second to no other in
the State, rs brief reference to the above
mentioned particulars will show:
LOCATION.
This county is second from the East
and third from the South line of the
State. 1t is one hundred miles south.
east from Topeka, seventy-fve miles
south from Lawrence, one hundred south.
west of Kansas City and twenty five
miles west FROM Fl. Scott and lies mainly
within the celebrated Neosho valley.

The soil of the uplands is a black or
dark red calcareous loam ofgreat depth
and inexhaustable fertility, while that
OF the bottoms is the black alluvial de-
posits usually found in such localities,
and varying from four to ten feet in
depth. No better soils for the successful
production of all the grains, grasses,
fruits aud vegetables of this latitude can
De found in the State.

RAIL ROADS AND MAR.
kETS.

The Lenvenworth, Lawrence & Gal
weston railroad traverses the county
from north to south. passing through the
towns of lola and Humboldt, and affords
direct connection with Lawrence and
Leavenworth in Kansas and Kansas City
in Missouri. This last is one of the best
markets in the country and is but six
hours from lola, the county seat.
The NJ. K. & T. passes through the
S. w. corner of the county, touching at
Humboldt, and affords an outlet to the
mining regions of the west, and south to
Texas and the Gulf

CHEAP LANDS.

Notwithstanding the county has been
settled for many years and contains a
population of over 1000, large bodies of
unimproved lands are yet for SALE These
lands belong to the l.. l.. Il &. and NJ
X. & T. railroad companies, and are
offered for sale cheaper than such lands
can be bought any where in the United
States where equal advantages exist
Land capable of producing twenty to
twenty-five bushels of wheat or 80 to 7 5
bushels of corn per acre is sold at 1920
per acre for cash, or $4.O0 on time. Al
most any year, after being reduced to
cultivation, q single crop will pay the
entire cost Of the land.
During last season many parties in
this county with less than half their
land in cultivation raised corn enough
when sold at Csc. bushel to pay for the
whole tract. Any one looking tor new
location can not fail to appreciate this
fact, especially considering the fact that
these lands are surrounded by old set

WATER.

The county is watered by tie Neosho
river, which flows through it from n.
w. to S. E., and by its tributaries in the
middle and western portion and by the

excellent timber and flows through fine
alluvial bottoms FROM half a mile to a
mile in width. Water for domestic pur-
poses is found in springs and wells VI

COUNTY SEAT.

lola, the county seat of Allen county,
is pleasantly located near the confluence
of Elm Creek and the Ne0sho River,
and on the L. L. & G. railroad. The
Neosho at this point only needs to be
improved to furnish good water power
for mills and manufactures. Good pure
water can be obtained at depth of from
fifteen to twenty-five feet. 1t has three
churches, Baptist, Methodist and Pres
byterian. and an excellent school build
ing The different branches of business
snd the professions are we'll represented;
and property can now be purchased at .
reasonable price which must steadily
increase in value.
MINERAL WE'LL.
The lola Mineral we'll Is at this time
the chief attraction of the town. The
wonderful cures performed by this water
have proved that its healing properties
are second to none in the country. A
hotel and bath rooms have been put up
at the we'll, and the afflicted from all
parts of the country are coming here for
treatment; and already the water from
this famous we'll is being shipped in large
quantities Throughout this and adjoining
States.
