r Col. st. John spoke about the State Treasurer
of Missouri Why did he not tell us something about
Mr.. Lappin, a late State Treasurer of Kansas Bud
lcta-
Yes, indeed, why not = Bpt rs he neglected it,
suppose the Bulletin tell US something about it.
Tell us that Lappin got only sls, 900, but was
promptly arrested, and escaped only by break
ing jail, and going into exile in foreign land ;
and that every dollar of the money has been re-
covered. Then tell us about the Democratic
State Treasurer of Missouri getting away with
almost million of dollars, for which crime he
has not only not been arrested, but still holds
his Office, and is honored by the Democratic
party of Missouri, while the Ring who helped
him steal the money, control the Democratic
party in that State. Yes, do let US hear some
thing about it.

The CONGRESSMAN at Large.

Il is probable that there will be a meeting of
the Republican State Central Committee, for the
purpose of placing in nomination candidate
for Congressman at large. There is no such
member authorized by law, notwithstanding
several States will elect them; but as it will cost
nothing to nominate and vote for man for the
Office it is best to be on the safe side, especially
in view of the fact that the Democratic party
will stop at nothing to make point. The odds
are greatly in favor of Democratic majority in
the next Congress. Samuel j. Crawford has no
sympathy with the Republican party-on the
contrary, his sympathies are all the other way,
as his affiliations have been, for some years past.
If be should be elected, and Democratic Con-
gress would find it convenient to have little
more strength, they would admit him whereas,
Republican would be denied a seat. With q
House Democratic at all events, the election Of
Crawford might not seem to be any disadvantage
to Kansas but there is q possibility that it
might be disastrous. Very many shrewd poll
ticisns regard it as quite probable that the elec-
tion of the next President, BY reason of new
party organizations, will be thrown into the
House for decision. In an election by the House,
each State counts one vote, and the vote of the
State is cast by the Representatives. A majority
of the Representatives from State voting for
either party, cast the vote of the State for that
party; but if there is tie in the delegation the
State cannot be counted, but loses its vote. The
Democracy confidently calculate upon electing
their Congressman in one of the Kansas Districts,
which would give them one member to two Re-
publicans 1t is hardly possible that they will
elect one but they did it once in that District,
and in tho uncertainties of politics, may do so
again. If they should, and 81. Crawford should
be elected Congressman at large, a Democratic
House would almost certainly admit the latter,
which would make a tie in the delegation, and
in the event of the Presidency going to the
House, Kansas would lose her vote which might
turn the scale against the Republicans.
Prudent men take no chances. Let Republi-
cans elect Congressman at large. We say, let
them elect one; for, since the question has been
sprung, it will not do to let it go by default up
on the supposition that it will amount to moth
ing. Crawford will be voted for by some and
if he gets only few hundred votes, with no op-
position, he will claim his seat. We say, let the
Committee put out a candidate, and let every
Republican in the State vote for him.

THIS "BEATs HENS FIGHTING."-It now
turns out that, instead of Donnell, Lawsen & Co.
having SOC, 900 of Kansas money in their hands,
the balance due the State from them was just
s1.31! We suppose it is safe to say that this
sum was promptly turned over, on demand. The
Executive Department of Kansas, in its tre-
mendous desire to convince the people of Kan
sas that it is exercising sleepless vigilance in
guarding their interests, is making itself ridicu-
lous at every turn. Because the Mastin Bank
failed, the Governor of Kansas changed fiscal
agents in New York, and sent draft upon
the old agent, by telegraph, to turn over the
State money to the new agent-and the sum of
$1.31 was turned over The Executive Depart
menr of Kansas has made as big fool of itself
as the fellow up in Maine, who heard that GER
tain bank had failed. He almost broke his neck
with haste to get home, to ascertain whether he
had any of the bills of the bank but when he
got there, he found he had no bills of that bank,
or any other! To add tragedy to the farce, the
local editor of the St. Joseph Gasette has been
thrashed for sending an associated press dispatch
containing some of the groundess reports about
this business. And, to wind up with, it is said
that Jim Burnes is at the bottom of the whole
matter. So that Jim Burnes is running the finan.
cal affairs of the State of Kansas, as well as Of
Missouri.

YELLOW FEVER TAKES KANSAS VICTIM
Several weeks ago, J. F. Cummings, of Topeka,
went to Memphis, for the purpose of assisting to
take care of Yellow fever sufferers. Last week,
telegram from Memphis announced his death
from the disease.
J.F.Cummings was native of Guernsey Coun-
~, Ohio, and learned the printing trade in Cam
bridge. He came to Kansas in 1855, among the
first pioneers, and located at Topeka. He was
for several years associated with S. r. Shepherd
(now of Troy) in the publication of the Topeka
Tribnne, and afterwards published the Topeka
Leader. He was at one time State Printer; was
once or twice Mayor of Topeka; and was a mem-
Der of the Legislature, at the session of 1864.
He was, at one time, enc of the most popu-
lar men in Topeka but for a number of years
past, from the effects of strong drink, he had
been moral, physical and financial wreck. He
said he had once gone safely through an at
tack of the yellow fever, and thought he could
60 into its midst without danger. Alas, he did not
consider that his constitution had since been un-
dermined, and that he was proper food for the
disease. But the act showed that the man had
good heart, and was still sensible to the calls
of humanity. The widow and children Of Cum
mings, in Topeka, are in destitute condition,
and true objects of charity.

FLEIscHER's CoNyENTIoN.-Fleischer jour-
neyed to Topeka, on the 25th, and proceeded to
empty his pockets of the German vote which he
carried there. 1t numbered about forty, and
consisted in large part of men who have heretofore
been active workers in the Democratic party.
Among them was George Ummethum, the DEM
ocratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor nom-
mated to catch the German vote, who was ready
and willing to avail himself of the venality of
his mercenary countryman. They passed long
string of resolutions, and selected ticket. 1t
consits of Goodin for Governor, Ummethun for
Lieutenant Governor, and the balance from the
Republican State ticket. For Congressman,
they selected Mcclure and Blair, Democrats, and
Ryan, Republican. Then the delegates proceed
cd to pledge the thousands of Germans Of Kan
sas to support the arrangement, as coolly as if
they owned them. The contempt in which the
movement was held by the Germans, is best evil
denced by the fact that, after all its ADVERTISING
and promises of reduced fare, the meeting fell
below the dignity of insignifcance in numbers.
The result of this meeting will be scarcely q
preceptible difference in the vote.

a Last week, the st. Joseph Herald seemed
to be on the point of getting into trouble. John
L. Bittinger, one of the proprietors, MEM
ber of the convicted whiskey Ring, had attempted
to run the paper in the interest of the Demo-
cratic plunderers of the State Treasury. Being
foiIed in this, he filed his petition for the ap-
pointment of receiver of the Office, making
allegations calculated and intended to damage
the credit Of the establishment. But the affair
has been settled by Frank NJ. Tracy buying the
entire concern. He announces that he is now
sole proprietor and editor. It is said that d. W.
Wilder will return to Kansas.
