TWENTY-FIVE ANNIvERsARY.-Tbe celebra-
tion of the twenty fifth anniversary of the set
tlement of Kansas, by the old settlers, at Law
renee, last Monday and Tuesday, the 18th and
10th, was a grand affair. Pioneers were there
from all over the State; and early friends of
Kansas, who had never before been in the Sta te,
were persent, and were amazed at the immense
progress that had been made in quarter of q
century. Addresses were delivered by Col. John
w. Forney, Rev. Edward Everett Hale, Hon.
George W. Julian, and others, from abroad; and
many speaches and familiar talks over old time s
were indulged in by old settlers. The assem-
blage numbered many thousands, and an i'm
mense barbecue was spread. Tuesday afternoon
We predict that this celebration will give a
new impetus to the tide of emigration to this
State. Even the earliest friends of Kansas, in
their most vivid imagination, fell far short Of
the reality. These, together with many Eastern
newspaper correspondents, who came to report
the proceedings, have embraced the opportuni-
ty to visit different parts of the State, for the
purpose of observation, and will send reports
back that will start the Kansas fever afresh.
Few, if any, of the pioneers who attended this
meeting will be spared to celebrate the fiftieth
anniversary. Many of them are now old men
and women. But their memory will ever live,
as the brave founders of one of the greatest
States of the Union.

On the other hand, the Greenback State Gen.

proposition had been discussed to favor coali-

candidate for Governor, and High Priest of the
Kansas Greenbackers, wrote as follows to a
member Of the Committee, protesting against
the thing. He speaks thus complimentary of
the Kansas Democracy:
..For twenty years more the Democrats have
tried to carry this State and have really made
gain on the Republicans. and in my Judgment

State by majority over both Democrats and Green,
