LOOK BEFORE YOU LEAP

The Kansas City Times OF Yesterday
morning has an article under the above
heading, from which we copy as follows:
The nomination of Hayes has obliterated
the Schurz-Adams faction, or rather re-
united it with the Republican party.
Those pretentiOus purists and self-styled
independents and reformers, having de-
SPARED OF acquiring the leadership Of the
Democratic party, have gone back TO their
own side. They were cared for in the
nomination Of Hayes, and hey hare dropped
1ilden. Their conditionally pledged sup
port OF Tilden, and the foolish notion that
they carried the independent vote in their
pockets, have been the chief arguments
used to convince Democrats of the policy Of
nominating him. Ii wa said that the
Democratic party, 10 succeed, must draw
support from outsiders. That was true,
and the only question was whether we
should look for help 10 greenback Republic
can voters, as we did when We elected the
present Congress in 1874, or to the discon-
tented Republican leaders who led us to
defeat in 1872. There is 10 such choice
left now. The Chicago Tribune, the
Cincinnati Commercial, the \. Y. Trib-
une, the n. Y. EUeaiag Poa, and
the Springfield Repubiioan, General
Banks, Carl Schurz, Charles Francis Adams,
Senator Fenton, President Woolsey, Bill
Grosvenor, Warmoth, and the whole outfit
OF discontinued Republican leaders, are for
Hayes, and the Democratic party can look
for help now only to the great, silent, suf-
fering, tax paying, toiling masses OF the
West.
While the foregoing article was written
for the benefit OF the Democratic readers Of
the Kansas City Times, and intended to
show them the necessity Of selecting some
other man than Mr.. Tilden TO lead the
Democratic party 10 the present campaign,
it is fra1ght with significant facts, which
will be read with interest by Republi-
cans. 1t admits that the nomination
OF Mr.. Hayes has healed all the
unhappy dissentions that once existed in
the Republican ranks, and has brought back
into full fellowship and sympathy with the
party all that class OF able and earnest Re
publicans who took part in the Liberal
movement. In admitting this it admits
that the nomination of Mr. Hayes has con-
solidated and unified the Republican party,
and strengthened its ranks to such an ex-
tent as to cOnsign all Democratic hopes OF
success 10 the realm of things that were.

Alden that it should be occupied and arm

ITEMS FROM THE WEST.

EDITOR TINES: Having recently travelled
over Northwest and Western Kansas, |
thought perhaps short article for your
paper might be acceptable. l found
throughout that entire region the best OF
crops, and farmers and business men all in
good spirits. The great drawback to tina,
section of our State is the want Of railroads,
and especially is this the:case in the Solomon
and Republican valleys. The people stand
ready to assist the Kansas Central in ex-
tending Its line Of road through this coun-
try, and feel satisfied that if Leavenworth
would take this matter in hand and secure
the extension of that road, it would do the
best thing for itself that it has ever done.
This city, by buil1ing that road, would
control the trade Of that country, which
now goes to Kansas City and st. Joe. You
can have but little idea of the immensely of
that trade until you have travelled over the
ground. Minneapolis, Beloit, Cawker City,
Osborne, Bull City, Stockton, Gaylord,
kirwin, Logan, Leota, Smith Centre, jew
ell Centre, jewell City, Concordia and
White Rock are all growing towns, and do

is a candidate, and, 1 think, from what l
could learn, by talking -wi.h some Of the
leading politicians Of that county, that he
can, BY h.rd work, carry Osborne county,
and that is about the extent of his strength.
In the race for delegates, all over the west
end of the district, w. W. Guthrie cuts but
. sorry figure. Notwithstanding what Is
said BY some of the county papers, believe
that Phillips will get the united supper. OF
the West. While the opponents Of Mr..
Phillips, are no doubt honorable gentle
men, the people seem to think that they are
not the men to represent this District in
Congress. Yours truly, UNo.

DAVID DAVIS.

The Chicago Times argues that the nomi-
nation OF Governor Hayes by the Cincin-
natl Convention makes it necessary for the
St. Louis Convention to nominate Judge
David Davis. The Times uses sound argu-
nent to show that the name of Mr.. Davis
Is the only name under which the Democ-
racy can make respectable fgh, this fall,
the nomination Of Hayes having left all
the others. virtually, kors de combat. But,
while this is the only wise thing to be done,
the Tunes very sensibly concludes that there
is no probability of the Democratic party
being wise enough to do it Any act
evincing as much sagacity as would the
nomination of Judge DAYS., would be who'll
ly inconsistent with the character and con-
duct of the Democratic party. The name
OF the st. Louis nominee will, in all proba-
oility, be Tilden, and then the Republicans
will not have opposition enough to make
the campaign interesting.

PROGRESS.

The following is the resolution which
the ladies Of the National Woman Suffrage
Association desired to have inserted in the
Republican Platform:
Eesoued, That the right to the Use OF the
ballot inheres in the citizen of the United
States and We pledge ourselves to secure
the exercise of this right to all citizens, ir-
respective of sex.
Although this resolution was not inserted
in the platform, the cause in which the As
ISOLATION is laboring, was officially and
fayorably recognized by the convention,
which the friends of woman suffrage must
regard as cheering indication OF the pro-
gress OF public sentiment.

BOUNTY BILL.

A dispatch from Mr.. W. A. Phillips, pub
li-hed in our Geographic columns, to-day,
brings the gratifying information that his
bill for the equalization Of soldiers boun-
ties mas passed the House. The efforts OF
Mr.. Phillips in behalf of this measure of
justice TO the soldiers Of the late war have
been consistent with his whole career in
Congress his every effort has been in behalf
OF the interests of the common people, and
the people OF the District will not fail TO
remember this to his credit, when selecting
a man TO represent them in Congress for
the next two years.

JAMES G. BLAINE.

WASHINGTON, ID. c. June l6.-To Cover
nor X. Il. Hayes: / offer you my sincerest
congratulations on your nomination, and it
will be my highest pleasure, as we'll as my
tirst political duty, to do the utmost in my
power TO promote your election. The ear
lest moments of my returning and confirm
ed health will be devoted to securing you
rs large vote in Maine as she would give
for myself. [Signed,l J. 81. BLAINE
The above dispatch from Mr.. Blaine was
one of the first congratulatory dispatches
received by Mr.. Hayes after his nomination.
Ii shows the spirit in which the result was
received by Mr.. Blaine, and proves that he
wac able, even in the moment of defeat, to
rise above and superior to all personal in
terests or feelings, and to stand firm and un-
wsvering in :he discharge of his duty to
principle and to the party. Having had
his heart Sc, upon the Presidency, having
made gallant and glorious fight for
it, in which, single handed and
alone, he had vanquished all the
hosts OF the opposition, and having come
within very few votes of securing the
grand prize-the news of his defeat, and of
the choice of a rival candidate, was one Of
the most bitter disappointments that a man
isever called upon to meet A small man,
under such circumstances, would have felt
sour toward all the world, and, borne down
by the weight of his disappointment, would
have felt like sending anathemas rather
than congratulations, to his successful COM
petitor. But, as in his contest with Hill,
and his later encounter with the entire
confederate force in Congress, Blaine comes
on; of the conflict, undismayed and full of
fight-not discouraged, not demoralized !;
full Of hope, full of enthusiasm, full Of
courage; ready and willing to take his ac-
castomed place in the ranks, to bstsle for
the party and the ticket.

NATIONAL REPUBLICAN TICKET.
For President
RUTHERFORD q. HAYES,
OF Ohio.
For Nice-Pres!dent,
WILLIAM A. WHEELER /,
OF New York.
RUTHERFORD B. HAyEi.

Another Republican administration was
assured 10 the country, last Friday, by the
nomination OF Governor Hayes TO he the
successor OF President Grant. Like the
man he is to succeed, lie has never known
defeat, and his name is the synonym Of
victory. There is not another
man, of all the large number Of good men
suggested or brought before the Convention,
whose selection would have cast sucA
damper upon the hopes Of the democracy
a. the nomination of Governor Hayes.
Whatever may have been said for or
against any other aspirant 1t
was admitted upon all hands that Hayes
was the strongest man in the party. While
radical enough for the radicals, he il not
Objectionable to the more conservative ele-
ments, but will bring to the support OF the
ticket and unite in harmony, all the d.
visions OF the party, East or West.
General Hayes was born in Ohio, and is
now serving his third term as Governor of
his native State, having defeated, success
siyely, the three great lights OF Ohio Demo-
racy, PendIeion, Thurman and Allen. lie
is iiity-four years OF age, lawyer by pro-
fession, graduate of Kenyon College, o.,
and of Cambridge Law School. He COM
menced his public life as City Solicitor OF
Cincinnati, position which he held from
1858 till the breaking out OF the
war, in 1861, when he entered
the army as Major of Twenty-third Ohio
Infantry, was promoted TO Colonel of his
regiment in 1862, and in 1864 was made a
Brigadier General. He distinguished him
self for faithful and valiant service for his
country in the field, and at the close of the
war was elected to represent his district in
Congress. He had not served out his first
term, however, before the people Of Ohio
called him to the gubernatorial chair Of the
State.
While there are other men whose nomi-
nation might have aroused more enthusi-
asm, there is not one who could carry as
many votes, or whose selection as the stand
ard-bearer of the National Republican
Party, at this time, would have inspired as
much confidence. He is I man of acknowl-
edged ability and undoubted integrity,
fully answering the popular demand Tor
honesty and capability and while his pub
lie course has never been such As to render
him particularly obnoxious to our Confed-
crate brethren, his loyalty to the great
principles of freedom and equality, upon
which the Republican Party is founded,
has never been questioned.
While We have the highest respect for
MeSsr5. Elaine, Morton, Conkling, Bristow,
and all the other distinguished gentlemen
broHght before the Convention, and sympa-
,hize most heartily with each in his failure
TO reach the coveted prize, We have to con-
graduate the party and the country upon
the wisdom and discretion shown by the
Convention in its choice OF Governor HAYES
