COUNTY TICKET,

The nominations made by the Repub.
Ecan County Convention last Saturday
meet with favor all around, and our
Democratic friends have had their little
slate torn all to pieces by the action there
taken. Taken as q whole the ticket is
the strongest nominated for years.
For Clerk of the District Court, Mr..
VIM. Davis, of lola township, was nomi-
mated. He is man we'll qualified fer
the office, moral, temperate and a con-
sistent Christian gentleman and against
whose character no whisper has ever been
uttered. His interests have been for
years thoroughly identified with this
county I; all he has ever had has been in
vested in our town and he is fastened
here not only by business ties, but by
the closes. of home and social relations.
For Probate Judge, Mr.. w. G. Allison
has been re-nominated. Mr.. Allison has
for nearly two years past given to the
Office of Probate Judge. cool and de-
liberate Judgment, backed by kindly
heart and a deliberate purpose to act
justly-and for the coming year or 90
will administer the affairs Of the Office in
the same spirit Mr.. A. had no opposi.
ton in the Convention and will have but
little at the polls.
Mr.. Frank Root was re-nominated
without opposition for the Office of Public
Instruction. 1t was q deserved compli.
ment to worthy officer. The teachers
of the county, as we'll IS the people are
nearly unanimous for him. He will
bring to the Office the ripe experience of
. cultured gentleman, and as he has
served one term with credit to himself
and the people, he will be endorsed by an
unusual majority at the polls.
For County Attorney, W. II. Slavens
of Humboldt township. received the
nomination. He is young man full of
energy, takes a pride in his profession, is
fairly advanced in the legal profession
his business extending over this judicial
district-and one who will profit by the
honor conferred. We predict that he
will be elected by large majority and
are confident the people will not have
cause to regret their choice.
For Representative of the SD District,
Mr.. VIM. Hankins received the nomina-
ton. And against this gentleman it is
probable there will be no opposition.
He is an old resident of our county, q
farmer, q respected minister of the Cos
pei, thorough gentleman, and in every
sense Of the term a "strong" man. His
nomination has taken the, wind out of
the opposition and when Noven Der
comes his triumphant election is q GER
tainty. He will unite all parties in his
support. - .e..ei9 !.
In the SD District DR.. J. B. Torbert
was nominated by large majority. Per
sonally, We are unacquainted with him
but from outside sources we are informed
there is some feeling in the Republican
camp. It is probable, however, that the
opposition will die out and his election
he made secure. He is thoroughly
identified with the settlers and will be =
strong man.

The Democracy of Kansas, in their
State platform, on the bond question. are
as silent as the grave. They don't refer
to the bonds by word or sign. So far as
their platform goes no person could know
there is a bond in existence. And while
through the press they have been loudly
claiming to be Greenbackers, in their
platform they simply say Congress
should exercise the sole right to provide
Q paper currency to be used rs money"
So far as the Democracy of Kansas Is con-
cerned it has placed itself squarely before
the people As hard money party.-Lade-

nrNothing, since the days when Hayes heart
bled for the poor icolored people Of the South,
when be thought Tilden was elected, has equalled
the sorrow Of the Interstate because the Repub-
licsns Of Kansas did not nominate . colored man
for Lieutenant Governor. But - the Democratic
Convention did not do any better by the colored
people, the Interstate has an opportunity to cry
on both sides ofits mouth. But Is the Republic
can party gave the colored people their freedom,
and the right to vote, in spite ofthe deadly oppo
sition Of the Democratic party, perhaps the col
ored people will conclude that the Republican
party still has the strongest claims upon them,
even though it did not nominate one Of their race
for Lieutenant Governor.

DrHere Is the way the Democracy feel about
the victory Of Muroh, Greenbscker, In Maine:
"Glorious news comes from away down in
Maine. The defeat of little Eugene Hale is na-

elected in his place. Thus It will be seen the
Republicans have lost two members of Congress

Owe do not think the money question alone,
affords Q sufficient basis for . new party. The
fact that party Is formed, appealing only to one
class Of society, Is In our opinion, unwise. Es-
pecially when other existing parties make the
same questlon-not the sole issue-but one of the
leading questions. Greenbacks, IS long Is kept
ut par with the currency Of the country whether
it he gold or silver both, have been found best
adapted to the business needs, and especially con-
venient, to the people. So long Is they can be
kept at par, they are demanded by the Republic
can party But this great party does not go be-
fore the people ON the currency question alone.
I The National Greeuback Party, Of which .
minor branch is forming in this State and In this
county, make the currency question the para
mount issue. IL is . delusion and snare. The
members Of that party in this State demand in
their platform, through the press and by its ora
tors ON the stump, an issue Of American sbsO-
lutte for nap money, needing no redemption ex-
cept that it be received by the government in
payment Of all dues, - etc. To this, prominent
local greenbsckers object. But Of what avail is
their objectionP Their State and Congressional
tickets, and in some localities, their county
tickets are nominated, the candidates standing
upon and defending the nat platform. To the
''man up . tree 1t looks very much as II the
objections OF the advocates Of the honest green
back, +" 1t this late dsy. did not amount to ae
much as ''nat dollar"

to disagree they are compelled to split hairs,
crawl under, over, twist and squirm, In order to
disagTee with the sentiments there sazmed.
