T.. c. Henry Is our candidate for
Governor, now and always. St John
made good governor but Henry will
make better one.
From the Hays City Sentinel.
The people of Russell, Ellsworth,
Pawnee, Barton, and Reno counties are
determined to have fair shake on the
senatorial convention. They propose
to ask the chairman to call another
committee meeting: and IL he refuses,
then they threaten to call another con-
ventiOn. 1t may he idle talk.
From the Hutchison Interior.
1t il refreshing to note the unanim-
ity with which the "boys along the
line''are denouncing the stupid, cheeky
attempt Of one. Eggers, 10 crowd him
self upon this Senatorial District. His
services as State Senator will never be
required as long a. We have such men
as Hubbs, Clayton, Nimocks and Etal
to put in that position.
From the Council Grove Republican.
After q careful review of the situa-
ton here at home, and after interviews
with o large number Of Republicans,
we are reluctantly forced to the con-
clusiOn that at least nine out Of ten
Republicans ore In favor Of Grant.
Though all say I'VE will vote for the
nominee Of the Chicago Convention"
From the wamego Tribune
Hon. J. S. Merritt having been
chosen by Gould a. one of the attOr-
neys of his corporation, will at once
move to Topeka. While congratulate
ing him on his success, We express re-
greet at the necessity of his moving
from our city. Mr.. Merritt IL Q gener-
Gus, social citizen. As a lawyer, he is
one of the deepest and most able In the
country. There is probably not with
in the State q more vigorous Jealous
worker In whatever he undertakes,
and his new position is q fitting rec
Ognitisn of his signal success in the
legal field.
From the Kansas Cit, Journal
The candidacy of Hon. T. C. Henry
for governor Of Kansas, L. meeting
with wide spread favor in that State
among people who admire ability and
indOmitable energy. The career Of
Mr.. Henry in Kansas, comprising o
period Of twelve years, Ii brilliant with
achievements attained under disc0ur-
aging circumstances T; and Il the Occa-
sion Of the enthusiastic support ofthose
who are best acquainted with him. He
came to Kansas without means or in
fluential friends, and located In per-
ton Of the State dominated by the
Texas cattle trade, and supposed to be
suitable only for pastoral purposes.
Dickinson county has become the first
wheat producing county Of Kansas.
and five counties west Of II have been
stimulated by its success to achieve
ments scarcely less gratifying; and
this result Is attributable largely, and
can be traced directly tothe enterprise
and will power of Mr.. Henry.
From the hays City Sentinel.
There is no question of the fact that
the peOple-we mean the ordinary
working people-are well satisfied with
the record made by Judge J. H. Pros
colt, of this district. This feeling Of
respect and confidence does not stop
here, however. It Is to be found
among all classes, and will crystalize
| into call for his reelection the com.
ing fall. 1t Is seldom Q public man Ia
encountered upon whom the breath Of
moral or social scandal has never cast
the slightest tinge. Judge Prescott Is
| one of the few, and we sincerely hope
the 18th judicial district will recognize
the able and conscientious jurist by his
reelection. 1t will be impossible to
find another 50 well fitted by expert
ence, talent, and that strong moral
character SO essential to impartial
judgment. The ermine of our bench
has never been smirched with the mud
of corruption, and while it Is worn by
Judge Prescott will bear the veRera-
ton and respect due the emblem ofab.
solute justice. As q man of sound
| Judgment he has established his claim.
