GEN. STURGIS.

Immediately after the reception of the
news of the massacre of Gen. Custer and
his little command, Gen. Sturgis, of st.
Louis, wrote long article for one of the
papers of that city severely criticising
Gen. Custer. His letter was ill-timed to
say the least, and will doubtless receive
many comments from the friends of the
brave dead. The following item is cop
led from the Chicago Post and Mail:
E. A. Skerburne, formerly of the
Twenty-seventh Iowa Volunteers, asks
Gen. Sturgis some unpleasant questions.
Among others, if he, remembers order
ing private in the Second Kansas Vol
unteers to be dashed to the wheel of a
gun carriage and scourged with twenty
lashes on his bare back, and when no man
in that regiment could be found to exc
cute the sentence, does he remember
ordering two regulars of his own regi-
ment to do the job, while he stood by to
see it well 'laid on p" Does the gallant
General who criticises Custer, rember,
when all things were ready, ''if an officer
of the Second Kansas, at the head of his
battalion, did not step forward and tell
Gen. Sturgis that the sound of the first
blow on their comrades back was the
signal for his battalion to riddle the
generous, beloved Generals body with
bullets, and if the said Generals cheeks
didn't blanch with fear when he cast his
eyes down the constantly lengthening
line of stern frontiersmen who faced him,
and if he didn't walk off, leaving them to
free their unhappy comradeF' Gen.
Sturgis, do you remember this little
incident?

On THE DEFENSIVE.

Already the Democracy are on the
defensive. Governor Tilden proves to be
not only hard man to protect from as.
sault, but the worst of it is that his enc.
mics are all in his own party. On the
other hand, Governor Hayes. the Repub'
lican candidate for President, is simply
unassailable. 1t is an Immense thing to
begin a campaign with a candidate who
defies misrepresentation, and whose pri.
vate and public life have been so IRE.
proachable as to battle even the imagi.
nation of the worst partisan to find a
weak spot in his character. All that his
friends are called upon to do is to try Mr..
Tilden by the confessions and judgments
of his supporters. Nothing that they
can say will be halt as severe as the in.
dictment of Mr.. Tilden by the Demo
Gratis themselves. These men have writ.
ten the strongest campaign documents
against their own candidate. Their own
accusations run through the whole gaunt
of personal and political defamation
Philadelphia Press
The Iola register. [volume] (Iola, Allen County, Kansas) 1875-1902, 1876-07-29

One of the troubles in the Democratic
canvass is that the party has two candi-
dates for the Presidency. The ticket is
all head and no tail. When two ride
the same horse one must ride behind
and HenGrick.. insists upon riding ahead.
-Nep |o. iferdtd.
The Cincinnati Enquirer pauses in its
crow-eating long enough TO say: The
Democrats of Ohio will vote for Tilden,
but it would not be good idea for any
body to attemp. to make it compulsory"
They "ken eat crow, but they don't han
ker arter it."
1t is singularly coincided that Tilden's
fortune, Six Millions, which he squeezed
out of embarrassed railroads, is exactly
equal in amount to the fortune which
his dear friend" Tweed squeezed out of
the New York tax payers. They were
lovely in their lives and in their debts
to the community-they were not divid-
ed.-Detroit Post.
Mr.. Hendricks gives to the country
the gratifying assurance that while he
and Mr.. Tilden "differ on immaterial
points," yet Gin the main they were in
perfect accord" The country now
waits to learn what Mr.. Hendricks re-
CARDS as "immaterial points," We may
assume that the "main point" is for Til
den and Hendricks election.-Philadet
phia Times.

AREA OF KANSAS.

The Atchison Champion finds food for
thought in limited comparison of Kan
sas with Great Britain. England has an
area of 1877 square miles; ireland 81,
S74 Scotland 30.6S5; and Wales z, 424.
Kansas has an area of over So, 900 square
miles. The area of Kansas, therefore,
exceeds that of either England and Ire
land, or England and Scotland combined.
Kansas has q population of only COO, 900
or about one fourth that of the city OF
London. Yet the State is capable OF
supporting as large population as that
of England and Ireland combined. Kan
sas needs capital and inhabitants. She
has every thing else that goes to make a
prosperous community mild and health
full climate, soil of unsurpassed fertil-
ity, good water in abundance, timber,
coal, stone, salt, gypsum, etc.

REFORM CONVENTION.

The Democratic Independent Reform
Greenback Congressional Convention
met at Lawrence last Wednesday for the
purpose of nominating q candidate fol
Congress for the I'd Congressional Dis
trict. The convention was organized by
electing Parkinson, of franklin county
chairman. The attendance was not good
Out of the so delegates entitled to seats
in the convention, only 20 were present
and the attendance of outsiders wa:
quite meagre. There was marked con
trast between this convention and the
one held at Ottawa two years ago when
Judge Goodin was first nominated fol
Congress. A large number of those who
attended the first meeting have doubt
less wisely concluded that the Republi.
can party is the only genuine reform
party there is in this country and have
deserted the mongrels and returned to
their first love.
After the appointment of the usual
committees a speech of Hon. John r.
Goodin on the financial question was
read. Following this, Mr.. Riggs, of Law.
renee, read some extracts from Gen.
Garield's speech on the silver bill, and
also "made a few remarks" the subject
of which was d. G. Haskell.
Resolusions were then introduced, and
with their introduction-as is often the
case in conventions-came trouble These
resolutions declared the convention would
support no man who did not endorse the
platform adopted and the candidates
nominated by the National Greenback
Convention at indianapolis. To this of
course the Tilden men objected, and a
lively discussion ensued. Some of the
delegates claimed that if Goodin could
be nominated without any pledge" he
could get large vote, but to tie him to
Peter Cooper he wouldn't get any votes.
Mr.. Mason, of Ottawa, said there were
greenback men in the convention who
we're for Peter Cooper, some who were
for Tilden and some who were for Hayes.
Mr.. Sargent took exceptions to this
statement; he did not believe any one
could be Tilden man and a greenback
man at the same time, and he said his
constituents would not support any man
who would not 60 for Peter Cooper.
These troublesome resolutions were final
ly "tablcd," and the minority resolution
after having the clauses endorsing the
national candidates stricken out-was
adopted. A delegate from Montgomery
county then took the floor and said he
thought he was attending an Indepen-
dent Greenback Convention, but it
seemed to be simply Goodin conven-
ton; they had rcpudiated Peter Cooper.
he therefore announced his Withdrawal
from the convention. A delegate from
Bourbon, in behalf of the delegation
from that county, warned the convention
against the course they were pursuing,
when the delegates from Montgomery,
Bourbon and parts of Cherokee with
drew.
The Peter Cooper question being dis
posed of, and the sticklers for greenbacks
having left the convention, motion to
nominate Judge Goodin carried and the
convontion adjourned

The greenback convention at Lawrence
on Tuesday was the gauziest political
swindle ever perpetrated in Kansas. 1t
was captured by Democrats, and run
by Democrats, who nominated a Demo.
crat for congress and virtually endorsed
Tilden by repudiating Cooper, the can
didate of their own party. Of course
the consistent elements of the conven-
ton withdrew, disguised with the swim,
die, refusing to be used as reform
cats paw for poking Democratic chest.
nuts out of the fire. The old party lines
will now be squarely drawn in the Sec
ond district.-K c. Journal.

The Democratic platform, as published
Officially" by the national committee
at Washington, differs somewhat from
the one published in the newspapers just
after the adjournment of the St. Louis
convention. The platform as first pub
lished demanded the repeal of the clause
of the resumption act of 1875, but the
official document only demands the re-
peal of the day. As the platform now
stands the Democratic party are commit
ted for early resumption, and simply
demand the repeal of the date fixed for
resumption. Probably Tilden thinks it
would be we'll to resume before 1879.

WATER.
BUILDING, FENCING
AND FUEL.

One Of the special advantages which
this county possesses over the treeless
plains of Western Kansas is found in
It's timber, coal and stone. The average
width of timber belts is half q mile or
more, and the quality is excellent, fur
nishing a reasonable supply for all prac-
teal purposes, as 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
i'll quantities sufficient for domestic
purposes, and will no doubt be devel-
opcd as the wants of the county require.
For building and fencing stone of an
excellent quality abounds in many local.
titles, yet so disposed as to interfere but
little with the cultivation of the soil.

The Independence Tribune of the 10Th
inst. contains letter from D. w. Dun.
nett in opposition to T. B. Eldrich as
the Republican candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. He makes q strong case
against Mr.. E., but the question probably
has two sides to it, and it would be unfair
to condemn him without hearing his
story. The action of the convention of
Montgomery county will be waited with
interest, and it will probably decide Mr..
Eldridges chances for the nomination.
