For RenrerentatiHe

OF all the candidates for representative
in the S3d District there is none more en-
inentIy fitted for the position In every re-
speet than Hon. John w. 10y, of Ameri-
Gus. Long a resident of this county, Mr..
10y is fully identified with the Interests
OF his constituency and thoroughly ae-
quainted with its wants. Mr.. Logs pre-
vious experience in the legislature has
given him 3 strong influence in that body,
and q wide acquaintance in the state. He
has filled prominent positions on commit
tees and is well posted on all the details
of legislative work. A man OF cautious,
deliberate judgement. he seems to have
advocated the best measures, as his record
will show; and his standing among his
colleagues was such that he could usually
carry through such measures as he intro
duced. With regard to the issue of the
present campaign, Mr.. 10y is pledged to
no man. He is man OF independent
views, yet is emphaticaIly a representa-
tive man, and In the event of his election,
would support for u. 8. Senator no man
whom his constituency did not favor.
There is no one in the district who is
better calculated to advance the interests
of Lyon county if sent TO the legislature
than Mr.. 10y, and because Of this fact,
no candidate presents better claims for the
support OF the people than he does.

Mr.. CoRDLEY CoMING.-We are glad
to learn that Rev. Richard Cordiey, for
Is years pastor Of Plymouth Congrega-
tional church, at Lawrence, has accepted
the call OF the Congregational church OF
this city, to become Its pastor. and will
commence his labors about the LIST Of Sep
TENDER. There was general regret not
only at Lawrence, but throughout the
State, especially among those who knew
Mr.. Cordley, when he decided to leave
the State some two years ago. We felt
satisfied after having lived here so long.
and becoming 20 thoroughly identified
with the religions, moral, educational and
other interests Of Kansas, that he could
not remain away. All will be rejoiced
to learn OF his return, and the church in
this city OF which he is to take charge is
especially to be congratulated. He is one
OF the ablest and purest ministers Kansas
ever had. His influence for good will be
felt by all, and we are fortunate, as well,
IN securing him as a citizen of Emporia.

Hunter for Representative.

In the last issue Of The NEWS 1 notice
the announcement of Mr.. A. N. Hunter.
wherein he signified his willingness to
accept the nomination (should the con-
vention see tit to bestow 1t on him) to be-
come a candidate for a seat In our next
legislative body. This it seems to me
would be about as good a nomination as
could be made, and if MIR. Hunter is
willing to devote portion Of his valua-
BILE services to the people OF this district,
1 can see no good reason for not accept
ing them. He is without question 8 man
of whom his constituents would feel just
ly proud, and that their interests were to
be looked after to their entire satisfaction.
His long, residence in the central portion
of the S3rd district has afforded him 3 re-
markabIy good opportunity to become &C.
quaInted with the citizens and their re-
quirenents. There are some needed i'm
provements to be asked for in different
parts of the district. and Mr.. Hunter is
just the man to work for them. He is a
practical and successful farmer; an hon.
est, upright man, against whom nothing
in disparagement of character can be
truthfully said. Inasmuch as he has
shown integrity and good, practical COM
mon sense out of Office let him be further
tried. This believe to be the wish of all
who know him. A VOTER.

There was . large turn out at the Re-
| publican primary elections last Saturday,
| larger than we ever saw before. There
| was much int crest manifested in the fight
for representative In this district, and for
clerk OF the court. These with the feel
ing created by Peters lawyer friends,
served TO call out a pretty full vote. Then
we are glad to believe the Republicans
generally are waking up to the impor-
lance Of attending the primaries. In one
OF the wards our Democratic friends also
''warmed up'' and came TO the assistance
OF the Repu blicans. or course they Will
not vote for single name on the ticket to
be nominated, and ha0 no business what
ever to vote on this occasion, but they IN
doubtedly like to make themselves useful.
and consequently lent q helping hand,
where their presence seemed to be desired
by certain gentle men who W wanted to ''run
things" Anthony didn't even run a
ticket. The congressional delegation from
this county will support Col. Buck.

The ConnissiouensIp.


The delegates from Emporia city and
township to morrow, are expected to
nominate = candidate for commissioner.
We understand that Mr.. D. s. Gilmore,
the present member from this district, is
not q candidate for the nomination, for The
reason that he does not desire the office q
third term. Mr.. Gilmore has made an
honest, efficient commissioner, and If he Is
now permitted to retire from the office, it
will be with the confidence and respect Of
his constituents.
We hear several names Of other good
men suggested, but under the circumstan-
ces we feel it proper to say that the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. j. n. Griffith would be
deserved and judicious one, and have
no doubt that ne would be elected by
q rousing majority. while we last
year advocated MIR. GIimore's election as
an endorsement due him in the face Of the
malignant ISLANDERS of the Ledger, for
which no man except its malignant edi-
tor was responsible. we never made the
slightest objection TO Mr.. Griffith. because
we considered him then as we do now,
amply qualified for the office. He is No.
1 business man, q taxpayer In both city
and township, we'll versed ia comfy mat
tiers, a stauneh republican, and his highly
successful service for years as president
Of the old and present loan associations
show that his judgment and prudence are
relied upon by all acquainted with him.
He, too, would make an honest, capable,
efficient commissioner, and if the cOnVen-
ton names him as the republican eandi-
date we shall heartily endorse its de-
cision.

then there will be no trouble in electing
them. This much is due from the cOnven-
