Greeuback state convention.

The State Greenback Convention met at En-
poria, oil the 81. We looked, and looked in vain
for telesraphic report of its proceedings, but
not word came. At last, at the close Of the
week, struggling items appeared in:ths pspors,
gathered from returning delegates From these
sources, we collect the following facts:
The cooler and wiser members of the party
desired to 60 slow, and not take any actiou nm
til the other parties had shown their hands.
Bnt the crazy and wild fellows, who we're in .
majority, determined to nominate full State
ticket, which they did, rs follows:
Goyernor-Rev. d. p. Mitchell, of Lyon Coun-
ty.
Lieutenant nt-Goveruor-Alfred Taylor, of John
son.
Secretary Of State-T P. Leach, of Neosho.
Auditor of State-A. B. Cornell, of Russell.
Treasurer of State-A. G. Wolcott, of Wyan-
dotte.
Attorney ey-General-Frank Doster, of Marion
Superintendent of Public Instruction-J. j.
Foote, of Linn.
Vrooman. of Greenwood.
Here is a fine array of obscurities. But two
three of the candidates were ever heard of by
the people of the State, and those who were,
would stand better were they not known.
There was not a man nominated north of the
Kansas Pacific Railroad. Even our friend Rip
pey, who was entered for Lieutenant Governor,
was slaughtered. His having borne the cause
in Northern Kansas on his shoulders, has count
ed nothing.
Rev. ID. p. Mitchell is q petti-fogging preach
er, at present Methodist Presiding Elder. He
will add no moro credit to the ticket than he
has to the church. Alfred Taylor went crazy
on Reform, several years ago. The Insane Asy
lem being full, he has been placed upon the
Greenback ticket. A. B. Cornell is an old Arab
living out in the sand region-one of those fell
lows who imagine that wisdom lies in long,
greasy beard, shabby dress, and loud talk.
Frank Doster is a young lawyer, who was sever
al times member Of the Legislature, where he
took the lead zealously in trying to kill off the
educational institutions of the State, and there
by earned the reputation of being Reformer.
Leach, Wolcott, Foote and Vrooman are wholly
unknown to the people Of the State, and very
few will take the trouble to inquire about them.

E1- In the Alabama Republican Convention,
last week, a resolution endorsing the wise and
patriotic policy Of the President, was laid on the
table. The Southern Republicans are supposed
to be the best judges Of the disastrous effects of
Hayesism upon themselves. Ohio and New
England may attempt to bolster up the Presi-
dents policy, but the act of the Republicans of
one Southern States is more significant than all.

" 1t seems that the annual editorial excur-

n We always had an idea that a paper
showed for itself what its politics were, and
that it required no resolution from committee

that in the of this County, last fall claimed

questions of political character, voted and acted
