The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1878-10-31

Next Tuesday.
Sext Tuesday, will be decided the question a
| t. who shall fill the State Offices and a portio
Of the County Offices for the ensuing two year.
Ofeourse, every Republican will
VOTE THE REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET,
aud for Congressmen. The Democratic party
having failed to destroy the Government, have
by the practice of fraud, assassination, intimi
dation, and the violation of the statnts and NOR
al laws, secured a majority in both branches o
Congress. Their next effort will be the paymen
OF rebel war claims out of the National Treasury
A strong Republican minority can defeat this
and it behooves loyal States like Kansas to send
none but true men. In order to keep the party
organized in State and Nation, it is necessary "a
keep County organizations unbroken.
| VOTE FOR F. J. CLOSE,
| for Clerk Of the District Court. He Is n good
Republican, is competent to fill the position
and is entitled to Republican support. He lost
| an arm in defence of the Union, which incapaci.
tates him for all kinds of labor except something
in the character of clerkship. When men who
have been disabled 10 the Union army are CON-
petent, the Republican party owes it to them to
place them in ssch positions.
VOTE FOR CHARLES RAPPELYE,
for Probate Judge. He possesses the necessary
qualifications, and the people know, by expert
ence, that he makes faithful and honset officer
VOTE FOR 7. W. HEATLEY,
for County Attorney. He is in every way
worthy. The bitter warfare that is being made
upon him By few persons, founded solely in
envy and malice, is 50 plain to reasonable peo-
MI hat ia laaip ite l...t q.
ing his friends to work SO much the harder in
his behalf.
VOTE FOR D. W. BROWN,
for County Superintendent of Public Instruction.
He is an old teacher, and was the frst County
Superintendent who established system through
out the schools of the County, and started them
on the road to efficiency. His creed and his
teachings have all been in favor of Free schools
The people of the United States cannot be too
watchful in protecting their free school syst em
against its hereditary enemies.
VOTE FOR ROBERT P. SHULSKY,
for County Commissioner for the First District.
He is a capable, honest, first class business man.
who has repeatedly been charged with the man
agement Of public affairs. He has had q diff
cult and thankless Office to an, for several years
past, but has carefully watched over the inter-
ests of the people whose servant he was. A
man in that position cannot avoid making enc
mics; but it will be found that Mr.. Shulsky's
most virulent enemies were made because he
fearlessly did his duty, without favor itism
Such man is the right person on o County
Board.
VOTE FOR PHILIP KELLEY,
or Representative of the First District. He is
man of first-class Judgment, who keeps posted
in public affairs, and who cannot be swerved
from the position he believes to be righ He is
q working man, who has hammered his way on
the shoe-b bench, and his sympathiss are with the
people. Not the least merit of all, he has al.
ways been a steadfast true blue Republican,
and host in working for the ticket. He is pre-
fsrable to either of his opponents. The Democ-
racy themselves are assailng Mr.. Waters record
as County Surveyor, and Commissioner to con-
denim the right of way for the railroads. When
they thus denounce the public acts of their own
candidate, Republicans cannot be expected to
support him. Mr.. Rippey is held mp as the
friend of the laboring man, and the foe of the
monopolist and money shark but for all that,
one of his chief sources of revenue is buying up
the lands of hard-run farmers ut tax sales, and
drawing so per cent. interest. Mr.. Kelley's in
terest is with the people, and he cannot be driv-
en- from his position.
VOTE FOR J. B. KENNEDY,
for Representative of the Second District His
lineage is not of the arstocratc kind that is al
ways jealous lest some of plebean blood should
enjoy equal rights with him, but is in favor of
allowing the humblest to enjoy the same privi-
leges that he does. Mr.. Symns is said to be .
good neighbor and citizen, which we shall not
dispute. But he still holds the sentiment of the
aristocratic days Of slavery, that Q poor man
should not have equal political rights with q
rich man. He also voluntarily went from his
home in Kansas to Virginia, to enter the rebel
army, and fought for years to destroy this Gov
ernment. United States Senator is to be cleo
ted, the coming Winter. Mr.. Symns would vote
for q man who would unite with the Confeder-
ates in Congress to force this Government to
pay rebel claims for losses in their attempt to
destroy it. Perhaps Mr.. Symns has an interest
in an estate, back in Virginia, that was damaged
during the war, and would like to send q man
to the Senate who would vote to pay him for the
loss Mr.. Kennedy would not, you may depend
upon that.
VOTE FOR A. J. SELOvER,
for Representative of the Third District. Some
of the folks have raised the cry Of what bad
man Jack Selover is. We have been hearing
that, for some years; yet this bad man goes
right along, and we find many persons who
stand high as citizens, standing by him. We do
not suppose he pretends to be a saint-indeed,
if questioned closely, he might acknowledge to
icing . sinner. But We supect that he is man
who doesn't knuckle to his enemies, and that he
is bad man only to those who are bad to him.
II IN investigation were instituted, no doubt it
would be discovered that this bad man had been
known to send load of wood to some poor fam
lily that was shivering with cold, or q sack of
flour to some other family where the children
were hungry for bread, or to reach into his pock-
ct and hand couple Of dollars to some half paid
minister. One thing is certan-nearly all the
poor people are his warm friends. 1t must have
been some kindness that made them so and the
fact that he is generally called "Uucle Jack"
would not seem to indicate that he was regarded
a. bad man. The fact is, he is q man of strong
common sense, and of excellent business capaci-
ty. He is always mixing with the people, aud
knows their sentiments aud their wants; and
he is far more capable Of representing them than
