WHO WILL Be OUR NEXT PRsSIDENF1
Beth Parties strll Claim he vietsry.


There Is still considerable uncertainty
q to the result Of the late Presidential
election, and both parties are still claim.
ing the victory. It will doubtless require
the official count in South Carolina, Flor.
ida and Louisiana, to definitely deter
mine the result. The Republicans are,
however, more hopeful each day. They
claim there 10 not . doubt that Hayes
has carried South Carolina and Florida,
and arc confident that . fair count in
Louisiana will show the same result IN
that State. Republicans also claim thet
in the next House they will have small
majority.
The following telegram from Judge
Scans, who is now in New York, expresses
the views pleading Republicans through
out the country:
New YORK, Nov. Is, 1876.
j. C. Wilson, Chairman Republican State
Central Committee:
have studied the political situation
closely since my arrival here, and am
satisfied Hayes is elected. Florida and
South Carolina are conceded to the Re-
publicans. All Republicans and the bet
ter class of Democrats admit that An
honest vote and count gives Louisiana to
Hayes. The Times, Tribune, Post and
Commercial are positive. The Herald
comedies. while the World blus-
tiers but presents no facts. The gambling
fraternity are just now more anxious
than any one else. Depend upon it,
Hayes is elected.

EVERY farmer, so far as we can learn,
who has tried raising sheep anywhere in
the State, reports that it is profitable
business. They increase rapidly; fatten
on the prairie grass in the summer, and
can be wintered without much expense.
Remote ss we are from the great markets
wool can be shipped to . better advan.
tage than anything farmers can produce.
One hundred dollars worth of wool can
be shipped to New York or Boston fol
about what it would cost to ship five
bushels Of corn. More sheep and fewer
dogs-at all events more eheep-is one
of the present needs Of Kansas.

If any one ever entertained . doubt
that the Greenback party was run in
the interest of the Democratic party,
We think such doubt would be removed
after reading the rejoicings of greenback
papers over the supposed election of Til.
den. And yet before the election it was
almost an objectionable offense to init.
mate to these Peter Cooper fellows that
they were working in the interest Of the
Democratic party. But SO soon as they
thought the Democrats were successful
the leaders threw off their masks.

PETER COOPER is reported . sick and
having taken to his bed since the cleo.
ton. Poor old man, he didn't seem to
realize that the noisiest of his supporters
were working, not for principle, but for
the success of Tilden. Cooper, of course,
did not expect to be elected President,
but he had a right to expect that his
party would give him such support as
that in the future he would not have
been the butt of all political jokes.

The Official vote of this State has not
yet been received by the Secretary of

the list in the Republican Column.

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 q mile or
more, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishing q reasonable supply for all prac.
tical purposes, IS is shown by the fact
that the price of good hard wood in the
towns seldom exceeds $3.50 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 IS the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone Of an
excellent quality abounds in many local
tiles, yet 20 disposed Is to interfere but
little with the cultivation OF the soil.
