A Disagreeable Squable Settled.

AT the Congressional Convention
held two weeks since, in the First Dis
trict, at Abilene, a disgraceful row oc-
cured between the Phillips delegates
and the Gutherie delegates, which re-
suited in split in the Convention and
the nomination of both men. 1t was
very evident from reading the accounts
that Phillips had not only majority
of the Convention, but right on his
side. Last Friday Gen. Guthrie pub
llshed letter declining TO run ana
Withdrawing from the canvass, in
which he acted wisely.
Phillips is unfortunate in two things;
first, in the support of several misera-
bic, hot-headed demagogues, aud Sec
ond in having incurred the enmity of a
dozen cross-road politicians, as also
the opposition of the strongest paper
in the District. But all is now well.

How Dost It Strike Us.


The Topeka Commonwealth says 1t
is proposed to purchase the Kansas
Colorado building at the Centennial
Exhibition and place it within the Cap
itol grounds at Topeka, to be used as
museum for Kansas curiosities and
products. 1t further says it is capt.
tai idea, and then asks how ii strikes
the people?
As one of the people we have no hes
itancy in saying that il strikes us as a
big fool idea 1t is built Of heavy
coarse lumber and daubed with white
wash and cheap mineral paint, aud the
freight on the material alone would
be three times what il would be worth
laid down in the Capitol grounds.
What is the use of getting up such
fool ideas, only that somebody may
have fat job aud somebody else a
place TO look after it for the years to
come.

It's Too Bare Faced.

NJ. L. Hudson is life long Democrat.
Then why did not the Democrats ac-
cept him as he had already been nonli-
mated by the Greenbackers The truth
is the Democrats we'll knew that every
member of their party will vote for
Tilden and Martin and they knew that
every vote gotten by Hudson must
come from the Republican ranks. Find
us five Democrats in Sedgwick county
that will vote for Hudson and Cooper,
and we will recant. the whole job is
too thin. Republicans have too much
sense TO throw away their votes upon
an old Democrat who as a Patron and
a Democrat is but strengthen the ene-
mics CT the Republican party.

New York Tribune: 'It was not OF
the least consequence what Governor
Tilden did at the outbreak of the war,
what he believed about secession, or
what he thought in 1864 about the war
being failure, so long as the question
involved was only whether he could
break up the canal ring in New York,
secure an economical State admins
tration, and reduce the tax levy. Its
of great consequence when it comes to
deciding whether he shall be trusted
with the Executive relations to the
Southern States, with the possibilities
of Southern war claims, Confederate
tax claims, cotton claims, the Confed-
crate debt, the protection of colored
men at the South, and the like
Bob IngersolPs mode cf accounting
for the remarkable tenacity of life dis
played by the Democratic party is fun
ny and forcible. He declares that your
front rank Republican is the choice
product of careful culture. 1t takes
school houses and all improved educa-
tional machinery to develop him. The
Democrat, on the contrary, like the
weed by the wayside. is indigenous
and ineradicable from the soil of igno-
rance and savagery.

Shamelessly Unfair.

The Kansas City Times, that sweet
exponent of Democratic consistency
and Democratic reform, as advocated
by Tweed, Tilden, ct cl., garbled lot
of opinions of the Republican press IN
which the perjury business of Tilden
was shown mp, making the articles or
extracts read as though Hayes was the
man meant. One of these extracts
was taken from the EAGLE, and we
are made to say that the officers of the
Government are about to prosecute
for the recovery of money out Of which
the Government was defrauded by
Hayes. To great straits have the DEM
ocratic papers come, when such tricks
are resorted to. The Times don't like
Tilden. but its crow will taste none
the better by any comparisons it may
make.

The Vermont Election.

Every week but the more certainly
settles the question of who will be
the next President. States that were
counted doubtful three months ago
have come back to their allegiance and
to loyalty, and other States that were
strong Republican before are over
whelmingly so now. The complete re-
turns of the Vermont election have
been received aud give Fairbanks A.
$50: Bingham 21,035, and scattering
twenty-three. Fairbanks majority

House give the Republicans POS; Dem
ocrats 8 no choice 5 /; Democratic loss

no food for themselves or ponies, viii
have to come in and surrender to OBJ

Col. p b. Plumb, in his speech at
Topeka last Monday night, made the
assertion, which is doubtless correct,
that remarkable change had come
over the people of Kansas of late years,
in that the spirit which prompted
nothing but to buy land at one price
with the expectation solely of selling
it for a higher price had yielded TO a
spirit Of rivalry among the people, in
ducing all to apply their labor and
brains to bringing out the natural
productiveness of our sland. lie be-
lieved that t. c. Henry, and others,
who, on a smaller scale, were attend
ing to such material interests as tear
ing up the soil, were those who were
making the State.

about your city to find livery RIG, but

animal and started south at 7:40 a. m,
following the Great Arkansas to Ell
Paso, arriving there at 11:20 a. m.
Halted about five minutes to learn of
party that [ was in search of. They
had left about ten minutes before my
arrival. at once put spurs to my
livery rig and overlook the party three
miles south, which consisted of Mrs.

ing up location with view of set
Ting among us, and l believe were
very much pleased with this beautiful
valley and say they will migrate to
Sedgwick county.
After stopping at Thomas f. En-
ery's and partaking of sumptuous
meal we harnessed up the wagon and
hitched to the team and crossed Dog
Greek, and very agreeably and unex-
pectedly stopped at Farmer Doolittls's
residence, finding the Farmer at home.
We had very agreeable chat for half
an hour or more. Farmer Doolittle is
we'll fixed. He has lots of stock cattle,
horses, pigs, chickens, etc. The only
thing he lacks is wife to complete
his happiness. But from what can
learn he has an eye single in that d.
rection. We did not converse on pol
itics as our time was precious, aud
having to return on the morning of
the 4th to Newton to resume duties,
and be coughed TO death by con-
sumptive COW tied to the fence be-
meath our bedroom window at the
Newton hotel. 1t is very unpleasant

but such is life. If you are not talked |
to death in Kansas you are coughed to
death all the same.

Sound as Ever.

General Grant is Of the opinion that
the personal element is a powerful one
in this campaign. He said to New
York Herald interviewer: "Hayes is a
man perfectly pure in record, so pure
tnat it Is impossible to bring even a
single charge against him. This can
certainly not be said of Mr.. Tilden,
against whom charges are constantly
being made" Hence he argues sue
cess TO Hayes.

What Next?

That flimsy fiction connecting Gov.
Hayes with the disposal of $500, taken
from a deserter who was shot, has had
its feeble life squelchcd out of it. The
statement of Mr.. Harper, on which ii
rested, has been disproved by other
witnesses and by the official records.
The man was executed by General
Crooks command, and the $400 taken
from him, having been fradulently OBJ
tanned from the Government was used
as a bounty to procure a fresh recruit
to take his place.

Governor Hayes squslches the Roorback.

The false and malicious charges
made against Governor Hayes have
been completely exploded, not only
by the records, but by statement
from the Governor, who shows the re-
turns made by himself to have been
not only correct, but at high rate.
So that Democratic dodge is shown
up, and still the people have not for
gotten that while Hayes was fghing
to preserve the Union. Tilden was de-
frauding the Government out of the
tax it levied TO support its defenders
