PCHLIC SESTTHEST.

We copy this morning bEiei extracts
from a large number OF the papers Of the
State, giving their opinions upon the Cub
ernatorial question. These embrace only
4 traction OF the expressions Of this kind
that might be given. Nine-ten;hs OF the
Republican newspapers OF the State have
declared against the denomination Of Gov
ernor Anthony. We can Judge Of public
opinion, only, as i; Is reflected through the
press, and, accepting the newspapers Of ihe
State "a an inaaz 10 the sentiments Q! the
people We find that public opinion through

Anthony viii be defeated by large ma
iority. The influence OF the monopolies-
the money Interests and the railroad inter
ests-every interest opposed TO the working
PEOPLE, is enlisted in his favor, but 1t
would seem hardly possible, IN
view Of the overwhelming public senti-
ment against him, that a majority
of the Convention could ever be
brought to his support. 1t is to be
clearly defined contest between
the people on the one hand and the
monopolists and corruptionists on the
other. The newspapers and the express
sions Of the primary meetings all over the
State show clearly where the people stand.
A strong lobby from Leavenworth,
headed blythe principal Democratic poll
ticians Of the county, will be in attendance.
The object Of the men who head the crowd
that will 60 from here, is not to promote
the good Of the State, the
good Of the party, or even
the local Interests Of although
they loudly proclaim the latter to be their
purposr. Their real object in working Tor
George 7. Anthony is not to make him
Governor, but TO send him 10 the United
States Senate through the Governors chair.
They are not actucied by any regard ior the
interests OF Kansas or the Republican par
ty; and a regard for the interests Of this
locality has very little to do with their
conduct. What they are working for
is to get 4 man into the Senate, that
they can use, IN connection with govern
ment jobs and Indian contracts. An i'm

city to-day, under the rallying CRY Of "a

convention in favor OF the nomination Of

DON'T MEND RI

The Nes Republic is issued weekly, al
Washington, as Republican campaign
document. /, may be good document for
Republicans to circulate in some parts OF
the country, but. ii those who serd it on,
have any regard ior the interests OF the Re
pablican party they will see to it tina, the
copies Of the NeU Republic sent to this part
OF the country, are very few and far be-
tween. 1t is given up almost entirely, to
the expression OF sentiments against green
backs, and in favor of resumption and the
gold standard sentiments which find
no sympathy with western Republicans,
and which Democrats can use against us
with telling effect. So far as the West is
concerned the Nu Republic is good DsB,-
oeIGtie campaign document, but to the Re-
publican party it can work nothing but
mischief. Don't send the NeU Rey4li:c out
this way

COX Il ECE.

The St. Louis Repubi .cqa expresses the
following opinion in regard to the cam
paign in Ohio, which we are inclined t,
think is correct. Public sentiment in the
west is very strongly in favor OF green
backs Secretary Sherman is radical hare
money man; he can't speak otherwise thar
in opposition to the gresnback without
stultifying himself, and this being the case
lie had better m AXE no speeches in the west
The Republican says:
Secretary Sherman gives out that lie will
take part in the opening Congressional can.
vass in Ohio. He began operations with a
speech at Toledo, on the 9th, of August, and
will make speeches at other points in the
state before he returns 10 Washington. II is
said that Secretary McCrary will probably
canvass a PORTION of Iowa, also, devoting
himself 10 financial issues entirely.
Secret,ry >herna is Likely TO do his party
more harm than good. He is an able man
and a most adroit maniru!ator of what may
BE- called grand politics; but he is cold
blooded, unsympathetic and unpopular. His
dry, heavy speeches to public meetings fall
like Jumps of lead. Ohio is now Democrat
ic, and We cannot imagine anything more
likely to keep it so than Mr.. Sherman's ef
font TO make IL Republican.

HOWARD ASSOCIATION.

The noble association which is now doing
sTch heroic work in the fever-stricken dis
tricts of the South. is a society organized
especially for such work. 1t has been in
existence for more than quarter of CEN
fury, and all those who can remember the
yellow fever and cholera epidemics of the
South for the past twenty-five years will
remember that the Howard Association hes
always been conspicuou, for its good work
in caring for the afflicted. 1t was named in
honor OF the distinguished English philan-
throphist, John Howard, who was born at
Edgfeld in 1726, and died in Russia in
1890. All those who desire to contribute
for the relief of the fever sufferers had bet
ter send their funds to the Howard Associ-
alton; it knows no creed, party, color or
society lines, but works for humanity.

MARTIN. IL. JOHN OR KEL>o.

After reading the extracts from the
newspapers OF the State published in this
issue, fair, unparalleled man will come
10 the conclusion that the Convention
which meets tomorrow will not dare to
tlagrantly ignore pub &c sentiment and
nominate man who will endanger the
local ticket in every county in the State
next November This being the case the
choice will undoubtedly fall upon cit her Col
Martin, Col. st. John or Mr.. Kelso, with
possibility of the former being nominated
on the first ballot. Either of the gentle
men named would make a good Governor.
Col. Martin, is 4 man Of irreproachable
character, possessed of the requisite execu-
tive ability and so popular
that We doubt if he would
lose Republican vote in Kansas, and
where he is best known would draw
strength from the Democratic ranks. Col.
st. John Is a gentleman of recognized abili-
ty, genial, honest and has hosts of personal
admirers in every section OF the State. Ii
is admitted by all that he would fill the
gubernatorial chair TO the entire sa;isfac-
tion OF the people. Mr.. Kelso
has not many votes, in fact is not fighting
very hard for the nomination, but If he
should receive it, would poll full party
vote. With Martin, St. John or Kelso, vic
tory is ours without a struggle, and Kansas
will once more roll up her old Republican
majority. Let us throw aside our preiudices,
rebuke the monopolists, the railroads and
The bondholders, nominate man who is
IN sympathy with the people, one
who Will be acceptable to Republicans, one
who will not run behind his ticket in every
county in the State, one who is not the
creature Of the bullionis;s, one who will he
the representative Of a greenback platform
in short, an hone& man, and the convention
will receive The thanks of the people.

EIlu

\ prominent Democratic politician and
president of railway company, who is
working night and day, for Geo. T. An
thongs nomination, openly boasts that he
wants TO make him Governor and then
Senator, that he may use him; that if he

tracts from the Government that would
have cleared him half million Of dollars.

The Kansas Pacific railroad company
has furnished two cars Tor the purpose OF
carrying the friends of George T., from
Leavenworth to the Republican State Con-
vention at Topeka to day, free. For the
past few days a committee h9 invited
every man who would go, agreeing to give
free pass to Topeka and pay board bill
while there
The effort made by them reminds our
people of the old Carney fight Tor "Leay-

DIR. James expressed the opinion that
there was not the least cause for pubIic
alarm, or any probability OF any further
cases occurring. Every year, he said, two
or three yellow fever cases appeared in the
city, but the disease could ALWAYS be s,amp-

time, as there were in this case.

A delegate convention should always

right to know how they vote. Every dele

morrow will stand firm by the established
custom and vote viva yoce.
