The report that Ben Hill has an

as a campaign lie.

The soldiers who are coming out for
Hancock in the Democratic journals are
all lineal descendants of Mr.. Entright,
who interviewed q General Grant at
Emporia.
Mr.. Tilden's ideas of the balance of
trade are trifle too well defined to lavish
100000 upon the party which has con-
fined its benelactions, so far as he is con
cerned, to 4 very cheap and nauseaiing
grade of tafTy.

The prospects are that "Dud" Haskell
will have "walll away" in the second
Kansas district, and like Ryan and
Anderson, be re-nominatcd by acclama-

too much spontaneity about Kansas
politics this year to afford the public
common amusement, but lively hope
is entertained that an innovation will be
made upon this monotonous routine al

In counting upon the personal reputa-
ton of General Hancock TO carry him
through the presidential contest, handi-
capped as he is with the record of his
party, the Democracy are simply insult
ing the intelligence OF the people, who
thoroughly appreciate that, in the event
of his election, he will submit himself
as'clay to the hands of the potter, and
hold himself in readiness at all times TO
do the behests of the party which Gle.

Be held later in the week.
The information gathered through con-
yersations with iron workers and manu-
iacturers warrants the belief that the scale
as Il now exists will be adopted. The
boilers, while they think they should re-
ceiye al least S. 80 per tor. when iron Is
selling at q cents, will not insist strongly
on an advance. They are generally In,
elined to the belief that the .! card VIII
mot continue longer than next fall, II that
long, and they do not care TO 90 on
stTike this summer for the reason that the
manufacturers are making very little iron
inst now, and difficulty about the scale
now would result In lockout They, are
hopeful that there will be q revival Of
trade In the fall that will occasion such an
advance in the card that the present scale
will be satisfactory. The feeling among
manufacturers Is that they cannot advance
the wages while the dullness In the iton
trade prevails. In the event Of anotne ,.i
boom they would probably not stand gu ~,
long against q demand for an increase, iol
when iron is in good demand they cahho
afford to let their mills stand idle.

An onSIuM .aArn.Run INrERyIEw
About Hogs, Wool, crops and Politics.


We had call yesterday from our old
Democratic friend Ninian Besll, Esq, OF
Liberty district, who brought down a lot
Of fat hogs, which he disposed of at A!
cents per pound. He has no price set on
his fine Saxony wool, as yet, and looks at
the present let down in the market as
speculative and temporary. He is not
convinced by what Mr.. Bundy published
about his heavy wooded Spanish Merino
ram, that his Mr.. Beall's) position in re-
gard to the relative merits OF Saxony and
Merino sheep is at all invalidated or re-
iuted. He says "wash the grease out OF
that twenty.seyen pounds Of so.called
wool, and you will have about seven
pounds OF real clean wool left"
Iu regard to crops, he says that the
wheat is doing very well, the corn fairly
well, oats only tolerable, while grass Is
suffering severely. The meadows are
damaged already beyond the possibility Of
good crop OF hay, and his opinion is that
old hay is going TO be worth good deal
more money than 1t is now selling for in
the country, which is about IS per ton. In
fact, there Is not much OF it to SELL"
"My main dependence, said Uncle Ninian,
sis now that we will nave fair crep OF
oats, and this after all is substitute for
almost everything else as food for sheep.
It is very little more expensive than hay,
all things considered"
In regard 10 politics, the old gentleman
says that his choice for President is Thur
man over all others, and II Iilden is nomi-
mated he won't 20 TO the polls-not even
to beat Grant.
"Mhy do you say so2" We inquired Of
the veteran wool grower-"What makes
you dislike Tlden so bitterly?
swell, we elected him once, and he al
lowed Grant to scare him out Of it. Grant
shook him loose from it, and that shows
he is no man for the place. Pm down on
Grant for soaring him out Of 1t, and Pm
down on 1ilden Tor allowing Grant to
scare him."
As to local politics the old gentleman
had not much TO say. He rather fayors
Col. Ben for Congress, although he says
that ben is a politician" and that expires
sion has u sinister meaning in the old gen.
tleman's vocabulary. Ast0 the Sheritalty,
he didn't know how 1t was going in the
country, but observed quietly that Mayor
Sweeney had been out prospecting around,
