Tbe Republicanism of New York city is only shade better than the Democracy of that American Gomorrah. It always played an assisting hand to Tweed, and it has never known such moderate reform as substituted John Kelley for the old Ring control of Tam many Hall. On Thursday night the city pri- maries niet, and chose nearly solid delesa ton of fifty or more for Grant. Brooklyn fol- lowed suit. A packed convention on Staten Island had already ''repudiated" Geo. W. Cur tiss, for treason or misprison of treason or some other grievous want of allegiance to the Conkling Arthur Cornell regency. 50 every thing betokens very harmonious State Con vention in New York, and unanimous Grant delegation to Chicago.

public requires in reference to this an

Lippincott,s MAGAZINE.

The opening article in Lippincotts
Magazine for February, "a Day with
the Ottawa Chantier-Men," by Frederic
G. Marther, gives lively account of q
lumberman and much information about
the resources and prospects of the great
Canadian forest lands, with many good
illustrations. "Old and New Rouen" is
the first of two illustrated papers, by
Edward King, describing in his usual
flowing and graphic style the most pic
turesque and interesting of French prov.
incial towns. The eighth chapter of DR..
Oswald's ''Summerland Sketches" also
illustrated, carries the reader to the
Data of the Sumasinta River. "Adam
and Eve" the new serial, by the author
of dorothy Fox" introduces in the
present number scenes and characters
which will be new to American readers.
There are also two very agreeable short
stories by Margaret Bertha Wrigh and
the author of 1.-THE Clifton Picture" a
poem by Elaine Goodale, and the usual
variaty of reading in the "Monthly Cos
sip" and Literature Of the Day"

Anderson county is the only county
in the State that now has real, live
Greenback party. And it is due to the
industrious efforts of DR.. Cooper and
the Garnett Journal. But it seems to
us that the Republicans of that county
could 60 to work, build up an Organi-
zation and clean out the fossils that
have SO long run the machine. The
greenback idea as expressed by Sam.
Wood, D. p. Mitchell and others is q
craze which of itself is as brainless as q
water eel, and if the Plaindeater would
go at the matter in earnest the breed
would soon die out.

It seems that Senator ingalls, offered
Ex.-Gox. Anthony the control of the
Leavenworth post office, if he would
withdraw from the race in his favor
last winter. That would have been
tough on old d. r. Since the above
was written the Leavenworth Times
SAYS it is untrue and that Senator In
gals never was afraid of AnthOny's
candidacy. But we happen to know
that Senator ingalls, told one of his
earnest friends in this place that the
only possible candidate he was afraid
of, was Geo. II. Anthony.

In the t'news from Maine" that now
so frequently comes over the wires, is
one little item that we cannot under
stand, viz: Last week it was stated
that the Mayor of Augusta had Or
dered all the liquor shops to close up
until after the trouble was over.
Would it be impertinent to inquire
why liquor shops were open? 1t GER
tainly seems little odd that in Maine
such an order should be necessary.

For State Treasurer.

Whether John Francis is candidate
for State Treasurer or not, he should be
reelected. 1t took Kansas several
years to find an honest Treasurer, and
now that she has one, we say hold on
to him. We have been told to 'save
a good thing" and take no chances.
Our banner is unfurled to the breeze
for "square-toed, level-headed," John
Francis.-Kingnadn Mercury.
Mr.. Martin, your head is level. Mr..
Francis will be renominated, and prob
ably without any opposition Topeka
Commonwealth.
The above meets our ideas exactly.
Such man as Francis ads strength
to the entire ticket.

that the Appleton's published two
editions of their readers, one for North
ern and one for Southern schools. The
Fifth Reader, first edition, contained
Lincoln's Gettysburg address, the Sec

this is true the book ought to be
kicked out of every school in the land.

point, which was assented to by Cor

without his knowledge. A like ruling
in Ingalls, case would settle the matter
against him without a doubt.
