THE PRIMARIEs.-Next Saturday afternoon
the primaries come off, for the election of dele
gates TO the Comfy Convention, to be held next
Tuesday. As there seems to be but one candi-
date for each of the County offices, we do not see
much prospect of contest for delegates. Now
would be the best time ever presented, for the
Republicans of those precincts in which there
have been factions or opposing parties, to come
together, agree list of delegates, and vote
for them unitcdly. This would avoid all hard
feeling, and insure a solid, united Republican
vote at the election, aud would do much to dis
pei the buggaboo idea that there is sRing"
running things. However, the latter result is
too much to hope for, if there should be more
than one candidate for any Office. But one can
be nominated, and there are those who would
spare no effort to convince the unsuccessful ones
that they were beaten by Ring" But the
primaries will be a good place TO at least try to
secure harmony.

p HUNTING HIS sPARTY.-Judge Nrooman. Green
back candidate for Governor, was in town. one
day last week, hunting the Greenback party of
Doniphan County. He said oDriscoll had told
him that Doniphan County was a rich Greenback
field. But he found that the Greenback party
of Doniphan County was a memory of the past.
Some one, rp to a little fun, directed him to the
house of gentleman who had been prominent
Greenbacker; but that gentleman, getting wind
of the proposed visit, dOdged out of the way.
But, we are informed, Nrooman had provided
him a companion against loneliness, that would
console him in solitude. He carried bottle in
his pocket, and communed with it frequently.
That would have been to his disadvantage, if
the Greenback organization were still in exist
ence; for most of the late Greenbackers in this
County are strong Temperance men.

GooD CHEER.-From different parts of the
County, the reports generally most encour-
aging for the Republican party. The Greenback
party in the County is practically dissolved.
Many old-time Republicans were in that party,
but the prospect of being ruled by the ''Solid
South, together with the failure of the country
to 90 TO ruin under Republican policy, have
brought them back into the ranks and quite a
number of these leading Greenbackers are now
working zealously for the Republican cause
Another numerous class are Republicans who
have been dissatisfied, for few years past on
various accounts, and have seldom voted the
straight Republican ticket. These are generally
falling into line more, and a number of
them will be active participants in ths coming
County Convention. There are few, of course,
who have become monomaniacs the subject
Of spiting somebody, and will do all their
power to disorganize; but they will be left with
a slim following, while Republicans generally
will decline to be sold to the enemy, but will
unite in the common cause.

STILL TAGGING AFTER-The Democratic Cen
tral Committee met on Tuesday, and after labo-
riously wrestling with the question of trying to
get up fusion with somebody, if anybody could
be found willing TO fuse for the benefit of the
Democratic candidates, they called Democrat
ic County Convention, to meet on the 2lst inst,
two days after the Republican Convention: If
the Republican Convention had been called for
the day before the election, the Democrats would
have held theirs on election day. They want to
see what the Republicans do, before they ven-
ture. They are always on the lookout for the
sore and disappointed, and other debris left by
Republican Convention, that they can pick up,
fuse WITH or make use of, to give them boost.
They will never make it pan out worth cent,
as long as they keep tagging after. They will
never fatten on the leavings and offal of a Re
publican Convention. \ party that has not the
spunk to boldly take the lead, and make a can
vass on its principles and merits, will never
amount to much.

~ The st. Joseph Gazette Of Thursday morn
ing says that no definite returns have yet been
received from Indiana; that the vote is very
close, both parties claiming the State, and that
it will require the official vote to decide. What
is the use of this barefaeed lying, when even the
Democratic leaders in Indiana admit disastrous
defeat But the Gazette discrelits its own asser-
TONS by trying to arguc that the election in In
diana is of no particular significance.

Indiana n Necessity 90 the Democrats, but
Net 20 the Republicans.

Indiana is certainly most important field, and
the Democracy realize that should they lose it, their
hope is substantially over. Ii they cannot carry
Indiana, they certainly have no hope of New
York. They must have forty-seven votes besides the
Solid South, they defeated. Even with In
diana. this task will be hard one: without it, they
have chance if the Republicans will but do their
duty
Bu, defent for the Republicans in that State
such disaster to them for a National yicto-
~ may be very well without it. Where the lsJ
Electoral votes necessary TO a choice may be had,
will appear from the following table:
The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1880-10-14

II will thus be that leaving out Indiana, the
Republicans might elect their candidates by carry
ing the other Northern States, and have twenty
eight votes TO spare. They could dispense besides,
with Connecticut, Maine, Oregon, and New Jersey,
and still win the election BY carrying either Vir-
ginia Tennessee, Florida and West Virginia.
they could dispense with even New York and Indi-
both.
Indiana deciding the contest far the Repnbli-
can ticket is concerned. II the Democratic party
carries Indiana, their work begins in earnest. The
loss of New York would be fatal to them. There is
other State States, to which they look for
possible and their failure in that State would
mean irretrevabe defeat.
