4 BUEGLED METRoPoLIs.-The situation in Topeka
is alarming The burglars. encouraged by the kindly
and innofirnsve police whom they met during the
State fair, have concluded TO remain permanently in
the city. No Topeka household is complete without
a burg lar of its own. There is no house carefully
watched and tended but at least burglar is there

emerging from the inside cellar door. The Topeka
household awakened in the night by pistol shots and
the sound of broken glass, yawns, Another burglar,
and goes to sleep again. The men of Topeka are
parlyzed but occasionally woman shuts her eyes,
turns her face away. wells and blazes away with a

on the window sill with bag containing the family
silver but before second shot is fired the burglar

of range of any pistol, and nothing can he done
about until he back the night after the
family wardrobe. Most of the ladies have purchased
revolvers but they live in constant dread of being
robbed of their firearms by burglars The papers
suggest that the burglars be ordered to leave the
city. hut the bloody midnight marauders appear

hoy. well be can ran. We leaIn that he Is very
bitter upon the Democrats Of the County, for not
ralIyins To his support, and says he is done Win
them. A man of ordinary intelligence ought to
have seen this, long ago. They talk abont rings
in the Republican party; but there is Demo
cratic ring in this County. that beats it all hoi-
low. There are about half dozen men who
monopolizc all that is in sight When there is
n chance to elect an occasional Democrat, one OF
the ring stops in and takes it. They will form
a combination with Republican bolters, to Sc
eurr offices for one or two of the favored few,
giving the rest to Republicans. This year.
even. they would have turned out TO the sup
port of an independent Republican, to beat the
regular nominee. But when n Democrat came
ont. they gave him the cold shoulder. He did
not belong to the ring. Whenever there appears
to be a show to elect one or two Democrats on a
cnnglomerate ticket, they will be chosen from
the select Few, and such Democrats as Ed. Ege
can hustle around and do the work TO elect them.

NEVER KNEW How BAD He WAs.-Nat' Bal
ley didn't know halfthe crimes he was guilty Of,
until he ran for Sheriff. He learned, during the
short campaign, that he was one Of the gang
who killed Grandson Wilson, on Wolf River,
during the war; that he also helped to kill
Slaughter, at ElwoOd, about the same time; that
he was with a crowd that went to the house of
another citizen, and tried to get him TO come
out, for the purpose of killing him; and that he
was one of n party that jayhawked a Union
man. He was mere boy, at that time, but
that should not be allowed to interfere with a
good electioneering lie. Would it not be good
and sensible thing for voters, when they hear
such stories, on the eve of election, to make
some inquiries of persons who probably know
the facts, and ascertain what there is in them

n 1t is common to hear Democrats say that
if the Democrats generally had turned out to the
election, Ege would have been Sheriff. That is
all nonsense. Doniphan polled very nearly a
full vote. 1t was Ege's stronghold, and was the
only place where there was full turnout.
More Republicans than Democrats staid at home,
and larger proportion of Ege's friends voted
than those of Bailey. The returns show that
Bailey received almost as many votes as the
largest Democratic vote ever cast in the County.
A full vote would have brought out Republicans
well as Democrats, and the result would have
been n much larger majority for Bailey.

II 1t is well that the Republicans in the
New York Legislature refused to accept Conk-

rial vacancies, and leaving the question with a

adjourning. Had they followed the Stalwart
advice, the Democrats would have secured two

r. The Central State was selected as an organ
by tho selfconstituted guardians of publc NOR
alty, through which to denOunce candidates on
the Republican ticket. One week, it contained
communications from n preacher and from n
leading church member at or near Severance,
abusing Republican candidates as drunkards.
On election day, the editor of the Central State
says that he visited Severance. Instead of call
ing upon his piOus correspondents, We judge,
from puff he gives, that he called at the worst
doggery in town. OF all asses in the world, the
oyer-pious ass is the most sOrry spectacle.

II In Leavenworth County, the Republicans
were silent on the whiskey question, while the
Democrats made an issue against the prohibition
law; yet most of the Republican ticket is elect
ed in that overwhelmingly anti-prohibition
County. In Riley County, the Republicans pur-
sued the same course, and the temperance luna
tics, under the lead of Albert Griffin and Gov. St.
John, attempted to beat the ticket, but failed.
1t shows that the people prefer not TO mi. their

A PHESoMESoS.-Weh have, on several former
occasions, referred to a phenomenon in politics
that could never understand. 1t has existed
far back can remember and this year
has appeared to a greater extent than ever be-
fore. 1t is this: that when the dominant party
in County fail to elect any part of the County
ticket, the Office secured by the opposition, in
five cases out of seven, is the Sheriff. and there is
always harder fight on Sheriff than any other
Office. In n large number of Counties in Kansas,
this year, that 90 Republican, the Democrats or
independents get the Sheriff. What peculiarly
is there in the office that often takes it out of
the hands Of the ruling party of the County.

II Notwithstanding Albert Griffin opposed
the Republican ticket in Riley County, and Gov.
