"Leavenworth county, Kan, elects a

personal enmity with the Republican

Our friend Judge Gilbert OF the Ga.
Zette, has lived in Kansas, aud he knows
very well that there are no Democrats
there. When we think of Kansas Dem
ocrats we are always reminded OF that
well known chapter in the history Of
ireland II reads as follows "Chapter

The Senate.

The death of Senator Morton makes

majority in the Senate, as his successor
will be Democrat. When this success
sor Is appointed and has taken his
seat, the Senate will stand SO Republi-

If Eustis and SpOford are admitted
from Louisiana, and Butler from South

If Kellogg is admitted from Louis

will consist of 81 Republicans, 81 Demo

"There are not q great many men in
