THE impudence Of Republican newspa-
per men IS unparalleled. They deaounce
in unmcasurel terIus the Democratic ras-
Gals who attempted 70 buy Republican cleo
tors, and failed for the reason that they
couldn't raise the money; but have not one
word Of condemnation or even OF censuTc
for the mercenary Republican villains, who.
after having been honored by the Republi-
cans OF a whole state. with the high trust Of
Presidential elcctor, basely and shamefully
put themselves on the market for price.
To be Republican elcctor and offer your
self for sale, is all right; but to be Demo
era, and bid for rascally Republican cleo.
ter wins is VIGOROUSLY purchaseabie. Is to be
and do that witch is most shocking aud
damuable If Republican villainy has
been 'ssnctified by long usage, why don't
the Republican papers say so? With the
lights now before them the great mass Of
thinking people is inclined TO hold Repub
lican and Democratic criminals Of the same
grade, equally culpable.

thousands Of egotistical jackasscs relig-

that terribly mean and eSasperatingly inf.

the obese and rcdolent madame Guerlichc,

TIL better men OF the South have
ayowed a wish ITO sit down" on all the so
called rebel war claims, and crush them.
These claims are, as q general thing. in the
hands of Republican claim agents; and
but for the fortunate circumstance that one
branch of congress passed TO Democratic
control, most of them, ere this. would have
been paid. We argue thus from the fact
that prior TO Democratic ascendency in the
the house. over one hundred millions of
dollars went in that way, and Republican
senators and representatives were person
ally interested in claims aggregating many
millions more. But this is neither here nor
there The Democracy Of the country is
opposed to the payment Of the claims, and
should give such an expression Of sentiment
in that behalf, as would place the matter
now and for oil time to come, entirely out
of the arena of discussion.

The Defeat OF the Railroad Bonds in
Smoky View Township.

1t was predicted that the election on
Tuesday would be hotly contested in
Smoky View Township, but feared
among our citizens that the victory
would be for the branch builders. But
we are pleased to announce that the
bonds were defeated by majority OF
IL votes. This practically settles the
election to occur month hence in Smo-
Ian township. We believe the scheme
to obtain aid from the southern town
ships will now be given up. Possibly
the Kansas Pacific may consider it to
it's interest to construct the brapch, but
it will be without aid from the townships
south of us.
People in this vicinity are rejoiced
over the result. 1t is generally con.
ceded that Salina would be greatly in
jured By this project, and it is natural
for its people to oppose it with their
whole might. We hope the Kansas
Pacific Railway Company may never
regard it to their interest to build this
branch, and that we now have heard the
last of it.

The committee appointed by Mr.
tanning to extend the thanks OF this
community To Miss Wright, OF Brook.
VILE, for the lecture so cheerfully given
on last Friday evening at our request,
deem it . pleasure to state, with the
concurrence OF all who attended, that it
was one of the highest literary produc-
tons il has been our pleasure TO hear,
showing q depth and refinement, of
thought which is rarely excslied. The
delivery of Miss Wright was pleasing,
quiet, and selfpossessed, making the
audience feel, for one short hour at
least, that they were brought 10 view of
something better than earth. The sub
ject being "Scott and his POEMS" we
need hardly add, as portrayed by Miss
Wright, was one allowing great research
of thought. Resolved, that we do most
heartily extend to the lady our thanks,
and invite her at no distant day to again
favor US with other OF her artistically-
delivered and highly interesting mind
paintings.
The attendance was good, being com
posed Of our best citizens.
Very respectfully,
THE COMMITTEE.
