A KANSAS Boy IN THE SOUTH.

What he Says OF the Condition of Thinga.
We are permitted to make an extract
from letter to a gentleman in this city,
written by a former school-mate in a
Kansas institution of learning. 1t is
written from Kingstree, South Carolina,
and dated October 10, 1873 He gives a
vivid picture of the condition of things
in that state. This letter furnishes fur
Their evidence that there ought to be no
bloody shirt illusions to the record of
the Democratic party, but that the peo-
pie who saved the country from its enc
mics ought now to be magnanimous
enough to at once turn the affairs of the
country over to the Democracy, which
is the only thing that will satisfy and
pacify our rebel brethren. Wade Hamp-
toms loud promises of peace and quiet
in that state, which is Republican If Re
publicans could vote, must be borne in
mind in connection with the statements
in this Kansas boys letter. We quote:
''As you, perhaps, ere you shall have
read this far, look for a description of
the place wherein live, 1t pleases me TO
tell you that this is pinery region. Its
chief productions cotton, corn, peas, DO
tatoes, rice, tar, turpentine, red shirts
and peanuts. The evils and lawlessness
which still prevail not only in AIissis-
sippi but which prevades al these rebel
states, caused me to try this section two
years ago and have been here ever since
At that time South Carolina presented
the pipe of peace if not also the horn of
plenty. But these two wears have
wrought q revolution. Peace has fed

REPRESENTATIVES,

All our people realize the importance
of sending our best men TO Topeka this
winter. We shall have important inter
ests to look after-very important We
wish we could do as we have done on
many former occasions in the EmpOria
district, give our representative the moral
backing of unanimous vote. Such an
endorsement gives man power in the
Legislature. But we presume this is
now impracticable. We simply express
our opinion as one voter, in saying we be
lieve Judge Cunningham to be the best
man of the two candidates for the place,
just at this time. He is an earnest worker
and speaker, and has had S.nuch larger
experience in public matters than his
opponent. He has made a good pro
bate judge, and we see no reason why
he would not look after our local inter
ests ably and efficiently. His opponent
is man we respect, and have not q
word to say against, but we believe Mr..
Cunningham possesses those qualifica-
tions which would make him efficient
in the Legislature, to greater degree
than does Mr. Watson. We believe all
personal feeling and considerations
should be thrown out of the question,
and that we should unite our vote as
largely as possible on Judge Cunning,
ham. The next legislature will be large
ly Republican, of course, and the matter
of having a man in political sympathy
with that majority, is too important to
be overlooked at this particular time.
In the other district Mr.. 10y should
be chosen. He has had much expert
ence in legislative matters, and is a
far more efficient worker than his
opponent would be-. He, too, would be
in political sympathy with the majority
of the house. There is not a blemish
on his official record. His opponent, as
always when in the legislature, would
go there with personal axes to grind,
and would fritter away his time in sec
ing to them instead of taking an
active part in legislation. He is es-
sentially politician and nothing more.
Maxson has been in the Legislature FIVE
years, and we cannot now recall single
thing he has ever done for his locality.
He is a constitutional Pathfinder and
growler, and spends his time thus in
place of working himself or helping 9TH
ers on measures calculated to benefit his
constituents. No one knows, that we
can find out, who he would support for
senator, but it is safe to say he would
not support a Republican. Mr.. 10y is
an active participation in legislation, in
dustrious, and exerts perceptible influ-
ence in the house No one can see him
there without feeling a just pride in
knowing he is from Lyon county. He
is a man the people of the SD district
can trust, and he ought to be elected by
a handsome majority.

Of the fiat idea, has sent out a secret cir.
cular asking the National speakers to
drop the talk about fiat, absolute, ire
deemable money. We understand some
of the speakers have done so in this
county. If fiat is dropped, what's left Of
the partyH Nothing. If they come to
advocate the good Republican greenback
what's the difference between them and
Republicans Nothing but name. Is

REPUBLICANS TO THE FRONT.

There never was q time in the history
of this county when there was a stronger
call for full turn out of Republican
voters. Let no one stay away from the
polls. Lyon county ought to poll three
thousand votes, and 1900 of them ought
TO be Republican. This can be done if
the Republicans will only say it shall be
done. Will you say ity To the polls!
