THE ABILENE BOLT.

The boiling OF 4 minority OF tie dele
they were not permitted TO violate all pa
liamentary Law, rules, customs, precedent
common sense and right, for the purpose Of
defeating the will of the majority, was Z
gross outrage. The nomination of Guthr e
was the --LATEST farce that We ever witnessed.
There was not one particle Of sense in their
movements. They had no brains. The
very hesitation OF Guthrie and his organ,
The Champion, indicates weakness and indie
cisiOn. They made asses of themselves,
and have not the manliness TO own up and
frankly apologize.
They say they will decide after the Dem
ocratic convention meets, whether GIthne
runs or not. That is too silly tor even boy
Every man OF sense knows they have alrea6 Y
decided TO come back.
They have made offers 10 Phillips, CT
ralhcf made demands. Phillips treated
their demands as he ought, with scorn. lie
will make no ioIas with them. They de-
mand the retention OF Hodge, Huycke, ard
Others, in oliiUe; and demand, too,
in part, to direct in other appointment.
Phillips tells them, in short, 81 have no
words to waste on you. Behave yourselves,
first, before you come to me-" They thought
10 fnshten somebody, but failed. They
thought they were bully boys, but now find
they can crawl back through very small
ina; hole.

TIE BAD SIDE.

The Abilene convention, before the with
drawal Of the boilers, was disgrace TO the
;,a-:y and TO the State We are sorry to
chronicle the fact that some OF the support
ers OF Col. Phillips were about as bad as
the leaders Of the Guthrie mob. 1t is cred
liable to Col Phillips that the shysters who
went into that convention, professedly for
him, but with the intention Of selling him
out if opportunity occurred, and who, when
Phillips was nominated, were loudest in
their manifestations of 10Y, are not endors-
ed by him. He has intimated to some of
them, already, that their friendship is
undesirable. There are always men OF this
class, who hang on the skirts of the sue
cessful candidates, and this convention
seems TO be no exception, for We know tina.
a number of its members were the most I'M
scrupulous scoundrels in the State.
II is with great satisfaction that We feel
authorized to state that Col. Phillips is in
no wise responsible for their acts, and that
be has not and will not endorse them.

HOE. W a. PHILLIPS.

Dol. William A. Phillips, the present
able member OF Congress from this district,
was nominated for reelection by the Con-
vention at Abilene on the 3lst ulL, by
tRo-thirds vote Of all the delegates elected.
The vote was little larger than it would
have been but for the Guthrie bolt. The
action OF Mr.. Guthrie's friends il withdraw
ing from the Convention, when they dis
covered that they were in hopeless minor
ity, caused all the scattering elements to
vote solIdIy for Phillips. Otherwise, his
majority would have been about twenty
Just a. TIE TINE has all the time stated.
When the delegates came together at
Abilene, it was found that while a large
majority were instructed TO vote for Phil
lips, a number OF them were "shaky," and
were ready to sell out their constituents if
they could DO SO without being known, and
for this purpose the Guthrie men desired TO
get hold OF the temporary organization, so
that they could run the convention by Sc
cret ballot this, Of course, the friends of
Col Phillips refused to permit, and deter
mined that the convention should be con-
Quoted the same az all other Republican
conyentions-that there should be no stab
hing in the dark, but that every man should
show his hand. The Guthrie men saw
that they were badly beaten unless they
could get secret ballot, and to carry this
point they inaugurated and carried out the
disgraceiul proceedings already detailed by
telegraph, and when they could not get con-
troll Of the temporary organization by force
and bullying, they bolted in a body.

TINES ihat all pupils holding cards OF pro-
motion from the Second grade would be ad-
mitted, upon application, the First grace.
Accordingly, among those who
made application Tor admission
to The High School yesterday mNrn-
ing, were eleven pupils from the North
Leayenwor,h colored FchOol-seven girls
and four boys. They came into the room
about hall an hour after school had COM
meDced, and as they filed in there was a
little sensation among the white pupils
very slight, however, ard continuing only
for moment. When they were seated,
Prof. Grant stated to the school that the
new corners were there in accordance with
the law OF the State and the order Of the
school board that they would be assigned
TO such classes as their qualifications
fitted them for, and would be given such
rank As their scholarship standing entitled
them to-ihat il, that they would be treat

lie then added, that "any OF the other pu-
pills who do not desire 10 remain in the
school, under such circumstances, have per-
mission now to retire" Nobody rent out, and
after waiting few moments, the Professor
went on with his work; the long agony
was over, and the school was "mixed." To

said that they conducted themselves, in the
main, like ladies and gentlemen few OF
the boys showed disposition, at first, to be
rude, but on the part Of the girls there was
not the slightest appearance Of any unlady-
like conduct.

TURKEY.

Murad, being a particularly disreptuable
fellow even for Sultan, has enjoyed even
less than the average Sultan's reign, if in
ded he can be said to have reigned at all.
The new one, Abdul Hamid, is said to be
an improvement on his brother, but it is
impossible to say how soon the bottle or the
scissors may end his career rs we'll. There
are three or four more of these brothers to
take their turns before the succession can
reach their nephew, Yussuf, Abdul Aziz's

THE SEYMOUR TRICK.

This is the position, according to the New
York Times, in which the Democracy of
the Empire State have placed themselves
BY the Seymour trick:
In lending themselves to the nomination
OF Seymour BY fraud and falsehood, the
Tilden clique have bot followed the tactics
of their master, and, lille their mas er, have
lost the Substance OF success in clutching at
the shadoS. They have accepted all the
disadvantages which spring from the re-
yival OF war issues on which the party
record has been disavowed, and financial
theories which the common sense of the
has long ago repudiated. In exposing
themselves TO the consequences of Sey-
mour's known refusal they have discredited
the ticket before it is made public, and
have in the most unequivocal fashion set
about organizing defeat.

JOHN MARTINS BABY.

Ihos. who supported Gen. Guthrie claim
10 lie, and are, the representatives OF the
best Republicans Of this Congressional Dis
irict.-ChcmpioR.
For cheek and cool impudeDce the above
is unparalleled. If Wendell, krebbs, Iioge-
boom. Hume, Van Wrinkle and Morrill, are
Representatives of the best Republicans"
Coed Lord deliver US from the bad ones
They led on the mob Of unprincipled men,
backed by John A. and George Martin,
with no other purpose than to compel a
majority in the convention 10 waive their
right in a riUG U0oe vote in order to give the
minority a chance TO perpetrate fraud
upon the Republicans Of the district by IN
augurating a secret ballot 10 cheat the peo
pie.
Gen. Guthrie stated TO the convention
which nominated him that he would not,
at that time. decide what he ought to do.
and that he therefore neither accepted nor
declined the rendered nomination, but
would defer a decision until calmer mo-
ments pointed out the course OF duty. The
Democratic Congressional convention meets
in this city next week. He does not ask
its endorsement or nomination. But if il
determines not to put Democratic candi-
date in nomination, and leaves the field
clear, he will enter upon the canvass as
candidate. III it makes a nomination, he
will at once withdraw. This is his posi-
ton. 1t is honorable, consistent and COM
mendable. 1t is the only position he can
afford TO take. Ii is the only position in
which his Republican friends can afford 10
sustain him. And they do and will sup
port him in this.-Champion.
There is principle" for you that kind
OF priaciple which controls the Martin
Guthrie Republicans, or, as Martin SAYS,
the "best Republicans of the District" All
bosh.
Ii will be seen, therefore, that Republic
cans need be under no apprehensions OF
Democratic triumph in this district
Champion.
o, Lord-bless your little innocent heart,
they never have had any apprehensions.
Your little bolt didn't have the weight of a
feather. Everybody knew you were wrong,
that you had no pluck, no principle; that
you wanted TO be on the strong side, RICH
or wrong, and that you would come back
just as soon as you saw what asses anC
dolts YOU had made of yourselves. Yor
will come back Thursday morning. Yor
love US too well to stay out longer.
We desire to add that Mr. Guthries DO
sition in this matter meets the hearty ap-
proval of the Champion, and that the policy
We have indicated, will be the policy OF this
journal.-ChGmpi0a.
o, no! just exactly as We thoaght-Guth-
RE was the Champions little baby. Well,
after the Democratic convention meets in
your city, to-day, chuck the thing away in
Its little cot, and don't let it disturb the
party ans more, with Its sniveling.

LOGAN ON THE STUMP.

General John A. Logan opened his po-
litical canvass of Illinois, in Chicago last
Saturday night, by speech upon the is
sues and candidates of the campaign, at
Central Hall, on the corner of Twenty
second and Wabash avenues. General Lo-
gan's speech was enthusiastically received
by the large audience. 1t was hearty
eulogy Of the Republican party, its history
and candidates, and scathing review of
the record of the Democratic party and its
la.Jar,

ABILENE.

make this statement in the interest of
justice and fair play, for know that Guth-
RE and some of his partisans went on their
way from Abilene in very bad humor, at

others, as Pretexts for their Doll. Few

they do shabby thing will not, il they

and all their complaints are pure bosh, no
matter how furiously or positively asserted,
either by lip or press. The fact is-after
ali the delegates had arrived, and both
sides had counted noses," il was apparent
10 the leaders on both sides that the friends
of Mr.. Phillips we're in a decided majority.
This was confessed quite freely BY all can
did men OF Guthrie's party after their eau
Gus on Wednesday evening; and still it
would appear that their leaders had hope
that something might be done to save an
almost hopeless case, by getting control, in

Mr.. Phillips of a political nature. 1t will
only be question whether the will Of the
people, plainly indicated by the voice of
the majority, shall be overridden to pander

rie's favor, then. out upon yolr nominating

w. Guthrie, who was nominated for Con-
gresham from this district by one wing Of
the Abeline convention, returned home to-
day. This evening the people OF this CITY,
Republicans and Democrats, gathered at
the Republican club rooms. where public
reception was extended to him. The meet
ing was one of the largest and most enthu-
siastic held in this city for a long time.
Hon. ]. C. Aud presided.
Mr.. Guthrie addressed the meeting. His
speech was vigorous, eloquent and earnest,
and was received with enthusiastic APP
plause.
He concluded by saying that his accep-
lance or declination of the nomination
rendered him. depended upon the events Of
the future, and that he should take no ac-
ton that would compromise himself or his
friends, who had sustained him.
1t is understood that if the Democratic
Convention, which assemblies in this city on
Wednesday next makes no nomination,
Mr.. Guthrie will Immediately enter upon
the canvass.
If it puts Democratic candidate in the
field, he will at once withdraw.

LET THEM DECIDE.

In behalf OF the supporters Of the Hon.
WIN. A. Phillips, candidate for Congress,
nominated by the Abilene Convention, We
submit the question to the Republican
State Central Committee, which meets at
Topeka on the 9th inst, rs to who had the
right 10 call the convention to order; or
We will submit the question to any good
parliamentarian outside of the District
whether parliamentary law, precedence
and common sense would not sustain the
secretary in calling the Abilene Conven-
tion to order Will the State Central Com
mittee give its opinion to-day?

HURRAH FOR WEB.

"Who reads an American book" sgd.
ney Smith asked this question in the Edin-
burgh Rerieu forty years ago. The New
York Horaid of August so says: "Mr. d
w. Wilder's Annals OF Kansas has been
reprinted in London" We presume this
will be news TO Web, as it is to US. Proba-
bly, the book has been republished in con-
densed form. 1t hardly seems possible that
a foreign publisher should care to repro
duce all the details in regard to our mill
tary, political, religious and personal his
tory. The fact of its republication is an
honor to Web. Wilder and to Kansas.

LITTLE LAMBS.

1t is evident that our errring brethren,
Martin, Guthrie and company, intend to
retire to the Republican fold on Thursday.
Now. this is all exactly right. Only they
must first show repentance. They must
bow down, acknowledge their wrong, hum
bly, beg pardon, promise not to be naughty
again, and if they behave themselves in
the future they can have the glorious hon.

tor of the Philadelphia Ledger says there
ought, In the natural course of things, to
be almost Immediately some improvement
in general business. The crop movement
is nov at hand, and rates for transportation
are low beyond all precedent and prices
of wheat are at points beyond which 1t is
not probable they will decline, selling at 80
cents per bushel at Chicago, and at sc cents
a; Milwaukee. The writer refers to the
European demand, and concludes that
under all circumstances, the prospects Of
some Improvement of the present situation
are favorable, and, beginning with our
great agricultural interests, there is reason
to hope If may be lasting.
