Paris But Mr.. Crawford does not 60 j
his place all the same. 1t looks As If Gray
appointment in the first place was "shar
politics" on the part Of somebody.-Iaol

HUMILIATiNG TO KANSAS.
THERE are many gentleman in the Stat
who would reflect greater honor, and VIII
could more thoroughly represent the gres
State Of Kansas ut this worlds fair tha
can Mr.. Baker. 1t is somewhat humilia
j ting that man of Bakers reputatio6 shout,
Re made SO prominent.-Asgus'a Goseie.
I THEY ALL OPPOSE IT.
The appointment of +. p. Baker as Uni
ted States Commissioner to the Paris Expo
sition does not seem to be hailed with un
mixed delight by the press credit Of tn
State.
the Wyandotte Gazdte says: "Bake
will doubtless perform his duties in an nc
ceptable manner, but Geo. A. Crawford i
the man who should have had the place.
The Atchison Champion thinks, "Mr
Crawford ought to have been Mr. Gray
successor. His experience gained at tn
Centennial eminently qualified him for tn,
work devolving upon the Paris Commits
SION"
The Leavenworth TINES says: "Ther,
has been but one opinion expressed in TIN
city, and is, that Geo. A. Crawford was tn,
best fitted man in the State, and that b,
has earned the place"
THE Kansas City Times calls Bakers ap
pointment an outrage. Says he is utterly
bankrupt in reputation, and If all his asset,
of character were collected together, il
would not pay one mill on the dollar. Hi.
appointment is a standing joke to the in.
different, and standing outrage to the Sc
rious.
ALL of which looks bad for Baker, and
We think he had better resign.--Fot Scot
Monitor.
Mr.. BAKER will, doubtless, perform his
duties in an acceptable manner. but Geo.
A. Crawford is the man who should have
had the position. Wyandoti< Gazeae-
GEO. A. CRAWFORD Is THE NAN.
We supposed, when We heard that Mr..
Gray had resigned, that Mr.. Crawford
would be his successor, and We agree with
our contemporary that he ought to have
been. His experience, gained at the Cen
tennial Exhibition would have eminently
qualified him for the work devolving on
the Paris Commission.-Atehisoa Champion.
NO OTHER NAN so WELL QUALIFIED As
CRAWFORD.
SEVERAL of the leading papers of Kansas
in commenting upon the appointment of +.
p. Baker a. Commissioner to Paris, express
regrets that the place was not given TO
Crawford at first. Admitting the ability
and fidelity to the interests Of the State
which are possessed BY Messrs. Gray and
Baker, there is not 4 man in Kansas who
could Ill the position 50 well ~ MI. Craw-
ford.-K. C. Journal.
RECEIVED WITH GENERAL DIsArroINr-
The appointment Of Hon. George Craw
ford, Of Fort Scott, to be Commissioner to
the Paris Exhibition, in place of Hon. Al
fred Gray, who resigned, would probably
have suited the people of the State better
than that of any other man. Unfortunately
for the editor Of the CoamnspeahA, Mr.. +.
p. Baker, his selection is received with al
most general disappointment-La Gsne
