u Garfield belongs to a sect that believes that
unless Is immersed, he cannot possibly he
saved: The Campbelites are worry fanatieal, which
probably accounts for the fact that their ranks are
not reinforced by large additions every year-1toi
Globe.
Why are the Campbelltcs more fanatical than
any other church Every church has certain
doctrines upon which it is founded, and strongly
adheres TO them; therefore, according To the
Globe, they are fanatieal. Why are they more
fanatical for believing that immersion is the only
true baptism, than any other branch of the Bap-
tist Church, that believes in the same thing. In
fact, why are they more fanatical than church
that believes in another form Of baptismi The
Globe is not well posted, when it says they are
not reinforced by large additions. The church of
the Disciples of Christ, )" or "Campbellites," as
they are generally called, is young, compared
with other churches. 1t was not organized until
after the beginning of the present century. In
fact il may lie said that it had not n live exist
ence until about ls23, when Alexander Campbell,
who had embraced the doctrine, established a
paper at Bethany, Virginia, as an organ of the
belief, and became its apostle. Hence the name
"Campbellites.- Mr.. Campbell died only four
teen years ago, at the age of 20 years. Since he
took the work in hand, the church has grown
wonderfully, and has an immense membership
in Virginia, North Carolina, West Virginia, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Missouri, Southern Indiana
and Illinois, with large membership in many
other States. They are strongest in the heaviest
Democratic sections, and consequsntly, taunting
Mr.. Garfield with heing ''Campbellite,' might
have the effect of bringing recruits to his stand

II The only Republican that the Democracy
have been able to name, thus far, who has come
ou. for Hancock, is that superanuated old seed,
Col. John W. Fomey. 1t is about the usual time
for him to change his politics, any how. He is
reported as having thanked God for HaneOek's
nomination, as an assurance that Pennsylvania
will he freed from the thieying ring that has 50
long had her by the throat. Foney is mad be-
cause Grant was defeated. The consistency of
his action lies in the fact that every member Of
that thieving ring was working with him, heart
and soul, for Grant. For personal spite, Forney
attempted to beat Hartranft for Governor, in
1872, which would have had damaging effect
on the Presidensial election, in November Of that
year; but Hartranft was elected by more than
the usual majority. Forney having lost his grip,
il makes no difference whom he is in favor of or

I We smell gore-and is not the blood of an Eng
ilisllm:n, either Ii is the blood of the two boss
Grant lummers of the West. For months, Gov.
St. Jctn, of Kansas, and r. T. Van Horn, of the
Kansas City Journal Of Commerce, were running
the Grant business in their respective States,
and were almost demented ON the subject. Like all
men of very light weight and small calibre, they
are babyish in their actions, indnlging in petu-
lance, childish spite, and sneaking revenge. Last
Fall, when that other semi-iiiotic accident, Pres
ident Hayes, was in Kansas, st. John monop-
olized him, and managed 50 as to prevent
his visiting Kansas City. Van Horn, who ex-
pected to be in high feather on that occasion,
was very much incensed, and made n solemn
oath to b<revensed on the State Moustache of
Kansas. Taking time 10y the forlock, Kansas
City perfected arrangements for a Grant Boom
when he should go ON his Colorado trip, and Van
HonI was the big Timber of the occasion. The
splurge came of last Friday. st. John, who felt
that he owned as large interest in the Grant
Boom Van Horn, notwithstanding the fact
that he could not deliver his goods, while Van
Horn did, determined TO take his militia TO Kan
City, to assist in the blowout, and TO take
charge of the Imperial Family, ON its passage
awake for the little fellow with the hairy thing
from Kansas Arrived at Kansas City, the Kan
sas Governor and his suite had the royal car
door locked in their faces. ut may he that they
mistook him for a peanut boy, or ii may have
been intended for n snub direct.) Be that as it
may, they were locked out from the presence of
the great original of the late defunct Boom !;
they were compelled to hoof it for some distance
through the mud; they were not introduced to
Grant until the common herd were let loose up
ON him, and then had to ''scrouge" in with the
throng; and they were not introduced TO the Ia
dies of the Grant party at all. st. John shook
the mud off his feet, and left Kansas City in high
dndgeon, and the militia companies that he
brought with him commenced getting mad, and
threatened not to parade; but they were coaxed
into n good humOr, and while st. John was
speeding away on the wings of steam and wrath,
the doughty Colonels and Captains bearing his
commissions in their pockets, were having good
time.
Now that these two mighty statesmen have had
n turn about, getting ahead Of each other, We
advise Gov. st. John to attend strictly to the
temperance question. That is his forte, and
when he strays away from it, he is lost.

THE JUDGEsMP.-Ira J. LacOck, of Hiawatha,
declines being candidate for District Judge.
This leaves Abijah Wells of Seneca, and Albert
Perry of Troy alone in the race, outside of Atch-
ison. David Martin, of AtchisOn, having been
unanimously indorsed by the Bar, the other aspir-
ants in that city virtually shut out of the race
rs they can get no delegates. The Republicans
of Doniphan County will support either Mr..
Wells or Mr.. Martin, if either should receive the
nomination, but they think Mr. Perry's claims
should have precedence. He is one of the sound
est lawyers in the District and is the oldest mcm-
bcr of the Bar of this District, except it may be
Judge Otis and Gen. Stringfellow, neither of
whom is a candidate. With the exception of
period of less than four years, Atchison has had
the Judge ever since the admission of the State,
in addition to the multitude of public Offices she
has enjoyed. II other parts of the District can
furnish men with equal qualifications, it is well
enough TO divide the fayors around occasionally.
Mr. Perry has such qualifications. Besides, his
location is such that he would be in direct rail-
road communication with all parts of the Dis
trict, and could reach any part of il in a few
hours' time, in case Of emergency; or, in such
cases. persons could come to him from any part
of the District, and return home the same day
Cases frequently arise, in which it is important
to have easy and speedy access to the Judge.
Without saying q word against the ability or fit
nese of either of the other candidates, we think
Mr.. Perry has the best claims for the Office.

10 The Democracy are claiming that Han
cock selected the battlefield at Gettysburg for
the final Union stand. The way of it was, that
Meade asked him if he did not think there was
the place to tackle the rebels, and Hancock re-
Piled that he thought it was. Two old Dutch
men, who lived on opposite sides of the street,
had sat for years in the shade in front of their
houses, smoking their pipes, and saying nothing.
At last one of them, taking his pipe from his
mouth, and cooking his eye up ut the sky, ad-
dressed his neighbor: "Hans, vat kind of vedder

the other, 81 dinks we have de kind of vedder as

speaker, 81 dink 50, too, That's the way Han

Ir correspondent of the Topeka Capital is
very severe upon the State Central Committee,
because they did not make their call for State
Convention boom for st. John. The Capital
seems to have st. John on the brain, and thinks
everything that doesn't bring grist to his mill,
is the work of the Devil or the 'whiskey-
ties" The truth is, that st. John, under pre-
tenee of relieving Western destitution, making
temperance speeches, etc, has bccn holding
meetings in certain Counties, and having dele
gates appointed, instructed for him for Governor.
The Central Committee determined that dele
gates should he appointed in accordance with
the terms of the call, giving all Republicans dne
notice, and n fair chance, instead of letting st.
John run in his "snider delegates. This is the
whole offending Of the Central Committee.

Bismarck Fair,

Educational Fair, to be held at Bismarck Grove,
Lawrence, in September, promises to be the most
efficient and successful Fair ever held in the
State, in encouraging Kansas agriculture, art,
and industry. The managers have been working
indefatigably for months to promote the enter
prise, and are on the alert for anything that can
add interest and attractiveness to the Fair. Their
premiums are liberal in the extreme, and they
offer special inducements for County exhibits of
farm products, fruit, &c. But large as the pre-
miums are, greater advantage will be the repu-
tation the exhibits will make for Kansas abroad I;
for the Fair will be an immense one, and will be
attended by people from all parts of the country.
One feature We are pleased to notice in the
Premium List, is premiums to encourage a hith-
crto neglected business, as far As rewards are
concerned-but business that does more than
all others to further the interests of Fairs. We
refer to the newspaper business, in which the
following premiums offered: For the best Daily
Newspaper printed and published in the State,
SIS; for the second best $50; for the best Weekly
Paper, SIS; second best, $50; best specimen Of
Job Work, in three colors, $40; second best, so;
best specimen Of plain job Work, $50 second
best, SIS. All job work must be printed in Kan
Offices, and all newspapers must be published
and pristed in the State. This cuts ont the
patent outsides, snd encourages home work.
Tics Of each psi:sr competing must be furnished
for two months previous to the opening of the
Fair, and each file must contain at least two col
umns of editorials on the Importance of the Fair
10 the industries of Kansas.
We believe that the Kansas Pacific Railway
did once offer premium of 500, at State Fair,
for the best newspaper in the State but never
paid the money to the one receiving the award.

Fight Fairly.

Since the Hiawatha Di.pateh made a thorough
examination of Mr. Morrilrs books, and diseov-
cred that it was impossible for him to run for
Congress-, it has changed its mind suddenly, and
finds that he not only can, but ought to run.
This is all right. No man need be ashamed to
support Mr.. Morrill,; but at the same time, the
Dispdtch could afford to treat Mr.. Anderson fair
ly. 1t charges that he has done nothing in Con-
gress, and compares him with Mr.. Ryan. 1t is a
rare thing for any member to accomplish much
during his first term or to do more than get ac-
quainted with the run of business. A man who
becomes prominent during the first term is ac-
counted extraordinary. Mr.. Anderson has done
something, and fully much any other men,
Der from Kansas during first term. Ryan is
serving his second term. The same cry WAS rails
ed against him. at the close of his first term, and
n strong effort was made to defeat him. Ander-
son has done more than Haskell during his two
terms. But it is only n couple of months since a
lot of newspapers were showing that Blaine had
done absolutely nothing during his whole career
in Congress, but make a few bloody shirt speech
es, and fawn for popularity. This is very
common charge; but as many people know bet
ter, it will not damage Mr.. Anderson seriously.

FThere are twoimportant elements that have
heretofore been largely Democratic that will give
Garfield heavy support, this year. They are
Jews and Catholics. For number of past cleo
tions, there have been circumstances to carry
the Jews almost unanimously against the Repub-
lican candidates and the Catholics have always
bccn ON the side Of the Democracy. But Garfield
is very acceptable TO the Jews and thousands
will vote for him who have heretofore voted the
Democratic ticket The hanging of Mrs. Surratt,
and. .Hancoek's conduct in that affair, is telling
fearfully against him among the Catholics, not
withstanding all efforts to saddle the whole thing
upon others, and to show that he was not to
blame. man can perform his duty in a brutal
manner, and this was what Hancock did in Mrs
Surratt's case, to say the least.
