AT Russian hotel you are obliged to
stipulate for bed linen, pillows, blankets,
and towels, or else pay extra for them, as
the landlord assumes that you carry these
articles with you. This has been the Gus.
tom Of the country from time immemorial,
and has produced among certain Russians
a curious kind Of fastidiousness. They
strongly dislike using sheets, blankets,
and towels which are in a certain sense
public property, just as we should strongly
object to putting on clothes which had
already been worn by other people.

E. A. Dorsey, the Farmer.

The Republican Convention by a
large majority vote nominated Mr..
Dorsey as their candidate for the office
of County Clerk. The only reason
urged against his election is that he
has never been County Clerk, and
that Fred. Schattner, the Democratic
nominee, has once been County
Clerk. To the majority of the voters
of this city, Mr.. Dorsey is a stranger,
and if he is defeated at all it will be
done by the votes ofsRepublicans in
this city. If Dorsey had been SO dis
posed he could have been as well ac-
qualnted in Wichita as he is in his own
locality. lie came iuto this county in
the early days of the settlement of the
country when there were great allure
ments and temptations to Young men,
''to stay in town" But Dorsey, al
though as we'll qualified to get living
by his wits as the average of men pre-
ferred to go upon homestead aud
make farm of it. In doing so he has
worked hard and attended strictly to
his own business. Through his con-
nection with the County Grange he is
probably as widely known as any far
mer of his age in the county,
and in his management of the
records and accounts of that ociety
he demonstrated his eminent fitness
for clerical duties. He is the only far
mer on the ticket. All the other NOM
nations were given TO candidates from
the city, although the farmers consti-
tuted ali overwhelming majority in
the convention. We recommend this
fact to the consideration of the Repub-
licsns of Wichita. There is not "A
worthier man in the county than f.
A. Dorsey. If elected he will, for a
time at least, become citizen of our
city, and we guarantee that he will
prove himself creditable one. He is
thoroughly qualified for the Office and
will devote his time and energy to the
discharge of its duties to the satisfac-
ton of the whole people. The fact
that Dorsey is farmer does not argue
that he is untitled for the Office. II
was once thrown up TO one of the
most eminent lawyers of this county, |
that he was once boot-black. His |
only reply was that he was good

it can be said that Dorsey is good

,al qualification. Dorsey is young

Who Shall Take Care of Our Money 7

A most insane howl has been raised
by the Democrats, and a half-doZen
sore heads, against John Tucker, the
whole animus of which is that he has
grown rich out of the emoluments of
the county. clerkship. No more insane
howl could possibly be conceived of.
That a man should grow rich Ola a
salary OF twelve hundred year, out
of which he must pay clerk, Is not
only preposterous, but the assertion
is an insult to any reasonable man to
whom it is made, and that it will lose
him a half dozen Republican votes we
do not believe. For four years, night
aud day, Except at times when the
failure OF his eyes compelled him 10
lay by) day and night, has John Tucker
pored over the accounts and records
of the people. He was never known
to be behind or unprepared. As to
his accommodating spirit we challenge
the opposition, or any one else, to
name a time when Tucker refused to
drop all work i'll hnnd and furnish any
information asked, even to the hum
blest citizen, though such information
involved hours of labor and patient
search of books, papers and figures.
Verify, we believe he would get up at
midnight to accommodate a taxpayer.
Not word rejecting upon his ell
cheney, honesty, integrity! OH, no;
but he has grown rich @ on twelve
hundred year, after paying an assist
ant wages out of that.
John Tucker was nominated by the
Republicans of the county III spite of
all work against him and the opposi-
ton of two as good men as our county
boasts. The party felt it was his due,
and so said in terms that could not be
misunderstood and he who kicks
against the honest conviction of so
large a majority will find himself
floundering in the bolter's ditch, whose
mud will be a bar TO any favors here
after that the party may have TO offer.
John Tucker will be elected by an
overwhelming majority; not that he
has asked it; not that he ranged the
county to secure delegates; not that
he has stood around corners and at
tended meetings to beg votes, for he
he has done none none of these things,
but because The people have tried him,
and know tina, he, having been faith
full in one position, will be faithful III

Their Latest Lie.

The Beacon, through the lego-Dem-
ocratic branch of the concern, gives a
last expiring kick at Dunning in yes
terday's Issue. There are two motives
plainly visible in its article headed
"Sluss' Sheriff"
1t is probably not known that the ed
itorial side of the Beacon is under the
control of a lawyer who pretcnds TO
be in active practice here but such is
the fact, aud he is overly anxious to
Gown a sheriff." but he has failed to
control Dunning, hence his wrath and
jealousy. The Beacon propricrors
want 10 get their finger in the public
crib, and control, through the sheriff,
some fat takes in country printing.
But they can't control Dunning, hence
their bitterness against him. The fact
is the ring that undertook to control
Dunning found out that he was not q
man to be controlled or ewned by any
body. The Beacon and its lawyer
don't want Dunning, he is too much
a man of his own mind for them. If
Dunning needs legal advice he has the
right 10 90 to somebody besides the
Beacon lawyer TO get it. The fact is
that this talk about Dunning being
by Sluss is false from be-
to end, conceived in jealousy
and brought forth IN malice.

Steele.

Everybody knows why the Beacon
don't like John NJ. Steele. Steele,
along with the two other County
Commissioners. didn't see fit to buy
up the Beacon when that outfit offer
ed TO sell. That's all That's the
whole story.
The question presents itself to the
people of this district, whether they
want a Commissioner who will look
after the interests of the people solely,
and conduct the affairs of the county
oil an honorable and economical basis,
or whether they want a Commissioner
whose first interest will be to dish up
spoils to the Beacon crew.
1t Submitted by all that Steele made
an excellent Commissioner; that he
has sound judgement and thorough
familiarity with county affairs, and
the most extensive acquaintance
among the people of any man in the
district. There is not single act of
his as Commissioner but what the
people of the district approve. Then
do the people want to change him for
a man whose only known qualifica-
ton is that of being good penman,
simply in order to CRAFTY the malice
of the Beacon We think not. The
people want man to attend to their
public interests, and Steele's the man
they can rely Oh.

Preserving the Peace.

" Mack" of the Globe Democrat,
writing from Washington, gives the
following incident which occurred at
the White House during the threaten
ing times of last winter. 1t will help
the reader to understand why the ex-
pecled "rebellion " didn't come of.
My informant had occasion to call
on Grant, at the time when Virginia
was threatening a Democratic inva-
sion of the capital. This subject was
preached. Grant was seated in his
armchair, with his heels on an adjoin-
ing table. He simply said, between
two whifls of his cigar, as if he were
speaking of an expected shower of
rain, or az expected visit from an of
lice-seeker. ''lf they come here to
make fuss, I'm afraid they won't all
get back. | don't want 10 hurt any
body, but ain going 10 preserve the
peace in this district The forts
were all manned at that time, and
Grant spoke with the unconcern of
man who knew just what was going
to happen, if the worst came to the
worst

Not Any More Dunnirg in Theirs.


The Democratic leaders of this conn
ty are Mortified with Dunning. They
all admit that he has made us an ex-
cellent sheriff that he is good citi-
zen; that he is thorough gentleman;
but then-he ,ods Democrat
He voted for Lincoln, aud for Grant,
and for Hayes; but two years ago he
suffered the Beacon crew, as they now
claim, to pat him on the back and call
him sour candidate" Was any thing
ever so sinful?
It's all right for Hayes to appoint
any number of Democrats to Office
aud place an cx-Confederate in the
Cabinet. It's just the thing. It's the
" Democratic policy" 1t rcconciles
EN-
But for Republican, convention to
nominate for office man whom the
thimble- ringers of the Democratic
party once pressed TO their bosom,
and fondly called their man." is Il
picture too horrible for Democratic
eye-balls to gaze upon.
They get il all mixed up with lost
county printing"
It's too bad that Duming won't lie
a Democrat in spite of himself.
1t was hard to give up the sweet
dream of entire pages filed with
Sheriff's Sales, and election notices
and such; but Dunning did it with a
little independence.
The only argument against Major
Dunning is, that he ran on his own
hook two years ago.
He did run two years ago, and The
people manifested their confidence in
him by elec;ing him by a very large
majority. That confidence has never
been betrayed.
He is unquestionably the best sheriff
Sedgwick has had. and the convention
did but simple duty in placing him
before the people. Whether or not
/ he was once Democrat is matter of
small moment He is Republican
now, and true one.
| i. is q sufficient answer to this howl
about Dunning to refer those Demo-
! cratic howlers to the nomination of
&. a. Walker by the Democratic con-
vention. He held an important posi-
ton in public Office here as Repub-
lican, and was an applicant for the
appointment of Receiver of the u. S.
land office here, as a Republican, and
this less than year ago. Yet these
same immaculate Democratic bowling
patriots are loud in their endorse
ment of Walker as a Democratic can
didate for commissioner.
True, it is not so much of a sin to
have been Republican as to have
been a Democrat. Yet the fact illus
trates the contemplate character OF
the howl against Dunning just the
same.

Our people will remember the ar
rest of jaw. Phillips year or two
ago under charge of crime said to
have been committed in Iowa OF
course be has no love for officers who
were compelled 10 do their duty, so. he
comes out in a card against Dunning,
bat he had better stick to the truth in
his insane rawlings. In the first place
his legs were not shackled at all in
the next place Tence Massey put on
the hand cuffs himself, fact that he
will swear to if necessary. As to the
doleful tale about being kept from his
wife, she was with him most of the
time up to a few hours before he was
taken in charge by the officers to whom
Judge Little had ordered him TO be
delivered. The least said about that
little matter the better for Phillips.

A Horse Of Another Color.

Senator Ingalls, proposes to abolish
all pension agencies, and to pay pen
sioners direct from Washington. The
idea is an excellent one, and would
doubtless be a great saving to the gov
ernment. On the same principle it
would be wise and economical for the
government to abolish all the local
land Offices and compel purchasers of
government land to do their business
with the general land office at WASH
iDgton.--J c. Union.
Beg your pardon, the cases are limo
sense parallel. 1t is just as easy for a
pensiomer in Kansas to direct bis pen
sion papers quarterly, Washington.
ID. c." as st Louis, No." bat under
present laws it is necessary in proving
up, contestiug, and so forth, for par
ties interested to be present at the
land Office, therefore local offices cam

Tho Silver Bill,

Senator ingalls, silver bill provides
that there shall be coined at the minis
of the United States, from time to
time. silver dollars Of 4l2 10 standard
silver weight. aud that they shall be lc-
gal tender for all debts,public and pri-
vate except where payment in gold
coin is required by law. OF the bill,
the ST. Louis Republican, Democratic)
says:
"Under the ingalls, bill the four per
cent. bonds, and, we believe, all other
United States bonds, customs. duties
and State, municipal and individual
debts. will, after resumption, be paya-
bic in silver or gold at the debtors
option; that is, they will be measured
by the cheaper metal. The passage of
this bill will bring about resumption
at once, and spare US the pang of over
coming the difference Of three per
cent. now existing between the value
of greenbacks and gold. When green
backs are equal in value 10 the coin
they are payable n.thatis resumptions
But greenbacks are already equal in
value TO silver: nay, they are, at this
time, of greater value than silver. We
reached and passed the point of silver
resumption more than a year ago,
when grecnbacks became equal to sill
yer, so that if the proposed bill should
be passed, it would effect resumption
without any further trouble"

Another Demccratic Lie Nailed.
The Abstract Books are Kept Up and Paid For

We hardly thought it possible that
the Beacon, in its zeal 10 serve the
Democratic party OF this county,
would stoop TO barefaced misrepre-
sentatiens TO defeat man that il hap
pens to hate, and that, too, in the face
of records and legal publications in
the EAGLE, and which nine-tenths of
the Republicans OF the county have
read with their own eyes. True, the
old board OF Commissioners did pur-
chase q set of abstract books for the
county, but it is not true that John
Tucker has failed TO keep them up +;
not true that Steele opposed making
allowance for the work, and not true
that the board, under his influence,
has failed to pay for the necessary
work upon them. The abstract rec
ords are kept up and show for them
selves, while the published proceed
ings of the Commissioners contain the
necessary allowances, and Steele never
raised his voice or vote against it. All
this tho slanderer who wrote the arti-
Gle alluded 10 knows. Such con-
temptible course is beneath all char
