for the purpose, among other needed
changes in the fundamental laws Of the
State, of adopting or establishing the
New England township system.
Res0lced. That in our esteemed fell
ow-citizen, Hon. w. p. Campbell, we
recognize a Republican of tried fideli-
ty, a citizen of undoubted integrity.
and man of high order and ability,
and we cheerfully commend him to the
Republicans of Kansas as one who
would do honor to the position of Un-
tied States Senator from Kansas.
