~ George W. Martin, the sage Of the Junction
City CtioH. thinks the Republican party of Kansas
is dying from rhysterins. shams and Hypocrisy
Sol. Miller says it is being loaded down with TOO
many side shows while Eskrdge, Of the Emporia
RItbiIodH, doubt believes the "elm-pecler Issue
is taking the stiffenng ont of the members of the
party. We apprehend that these gentlemen are
aware that this is the malarial season in Kansas
and while they may think they trouble
ahead it may he their livers ont of order, and
that the old party is still master of the situation.
Why is it not better TO come out squarely and
openly than TO act the hypocrite and sneak
straddle the fence. and play twO-sided' The
editor of the paper in which the above appeared
not more than week previously, took issne
with US, in a personal conversation, for saying
that we should probably scratch the Governor
and vote blank on that Office. He argued that
this was the year TO make n vote count both
ways-scrateh st. John, and put the Democrat
ic candidate in his place. That's the way we
are going to do, down our way" he remarked
in conclusion. He may have since taken liver
invigurator.

Our Candidate.

Our present impression is that shall vote
| for tx Governor Robinson for Governor. He is
the abiest and the best man in the race, and
man who has wiihstocd the fereest assaults up
on his character. He is man Of the strietest
temperance and morality, yet believes in the
largest political religious and personal freedom
We care nothing for the platform OF the Conyen-
tion that nominated him. His record aud out-
spoken sersimrnfs are better than any platform
He never hesitatrs to make his views known,
and you always know where TO find him.
Gov Robinson was the first Governor of the
Il State of Kansas, and was one of the "War Gov
ernors" of the Union. While he was loyal and
patriotic to the highest degree he utterly detest-
| ed shams and humbugs, and this caused trouble
Fin Kansas. The chariatan, jim Lane, wanted
to control military affairs in Kansas. Gov. Rob-
inson asserted his prerogatiye, aud exercised his
| rights. The treatment Of this question forms
one blot upon the administration Of Abraham
Lincoln. Listening to the falsehoods Of Lane,
he deprived Gov. Robinson Of the rights accord
| ed to every other loyal Governor, placing the
military patronage of the State in the hands Of
| Lane, who used it for the basest purposes. This
outrage upon the Executive of the State, to graf
/ ify the malice of bitter personal enemy, could
| not be quietly submitted to- but caused diyis-
ion in the State, the effects of which are not yet
eradieated. Lanes next move was to get Rob-
insoK out of office by electing another Governor,
when there was no vacancy. This proved fiat
failure; and the next thing was an attempt to
to impesch him. But, although the body that
tried him contained a majority of Lanes friends
and tools, the Governor was triumphantly ac-
quilted, while two officers who were not intend
ed to be harmed, were caught in the trap, and
| ruined.
Gov. Robinson was an ardent Republican, but
from that time, became independent in his pOlit-
ical action-orerating with Republicans, Demo-
Gratis or Greenbsskers, just as the issues and the
ends to be accomplished tended. He has always
been elected in Douglas County, to whatever Of
fce he ran for.
The main reason Why we have contended that
Gov. Robinson was..the man to unite the opposi-
tion to ST. John, is his perfect Independence, and
his willingness to cooperate with all parties. as
he has done. This obyiates any scruPles which
| Republican or Democrat would have in. yoting
for pronounced sdherent to tho opposite party.
He has not been a partisan, nor made himself
obnoxious 20 men Of any political faith. The
only possible hope of beating ST. John, lay in
combining all the elements opposed to him upon
one man. As this has failed, each voter must
select his candidate from among the three. We
choose Gov, Robinson; aud, from the expressions
we have heard, We think large proportion OF
the Republicans in this County who cannot vote
| for St John, will choose the same wsy.

PoIITICAL LAssEssMENTs.-Frumt the prolonged
outcry against Congressman Hubbell's scheme
of political assessments, wonld he led to be-
lieSe that terrible outrage was brewing. The
cry against these assessments was started by
George William Curtis reform cranks, and car
ried into effect by the idiot Hayes. There il.
nothing wrong about these assessments On the
contrary, they are prrfeetly right and just, and
legitimate. The case stands thus: there is
large army Of Government employees, receiving
good salaries. In nine cases out OF ten, their
pay is fully double what they could make if
thrown upon their own resources, to hold situa-
ti0ns in the general business world, and their
hours of labor are in many cases less than one
half the time required in private business These
persons hold their places at the hands of the Re-
puhliran party. If that party loses power, every
ono of these persons will be turned out, TO make
room for persons belonging to the successful
party. These employees are asked to contribute
a small sum ont of their liberal salaries, to pay
the necessary expenses Of retaining the party in
power that gives them their positions. What il.
wrong in thisi Who else should pay these ex-
pensssf The iinc-haireh civil service reformer
wants il fixed 80 that persons who get fat Offices
from party, can tell it to go to the devil, when
IL wants contributions to aid it in keeping them
in office. We hope that Hubl,cll will perseverc,
mud raise ths necessary funds

STATE RIGHTs.-The Rebellion was founded
upon the heresy of State Righi., and the Gov
ernment prides itself upon the supposit;on that
the doctrine crushed. But it is rising in
other shapes, and making it. demands upon the
Government. There are two matters now con-
troiled by the States, that should be absolutely
in the hands Of the General Government.
One of them is suffrage. Congress should pre-
scribe the qualifications for suffrage, and make
them uniform in every State. State may en-
franchise women, Indians, Chinamen, and even
minors, while other States do not. All these
classes can then vote for United States officers,
| as President ssd congressman, and thereby a
State like Kansas might cast larger vote than
New York. In case of popular election Of Presi-
dent, State eonld east three times the vote Of
another State containing double the population.
The other matter is Government revenue. The
revenues Of the Government should be under the
exclusive control of Congress, and State shosld
be allowed to pass laws to interfere with or di-
minish them. The largest revenne is derived
from liquors. No State should he allowed to
pass laws TO cut off this revenue. Why, the late
st. John Convention Of Kansas adopted reso-
luton asking Congress to pass . law refusing
revenue licenses to persons to sell liquor in States
where it's manufacture and sale is prohibited by
law. Such a law would place the Government
revenues at the mercy of the whim of the people
of State. Government would have to ask per-
mission Of State to collect certain portion Of
| its revenue. This is crznkism taking the place
| Of State Rights.

The great Democratic stare convention hot
Mt Emporia, last week, and guaranteed the re-
election of St. John. While they did not seem
TO intend or desire such result, that will be
the inevitable effect of their action There never
was such an opportunity offered for success, by
the union Of all the elements opposed to St. John
such union depended upon the action OF the
Democratic Convention, and they threw away
the chance. There are large number OF Demo
Gratis in the State who actually think they have
n prospect of electng a Governor on q Demo-
cratic ticket Then, the leaders OF the Kansas
Democracy have an abiding faith that some
where in the dim future their party will elect a
President, rs firmly established as the faith Of
the Jews in their final ingathering at Jerusalem;
and they want to be in condition to 20 up and
gather in the Federal patronage, pointing with
pride" TO the fact that they kept the Democratic
banner flying, through all the years OF defeat
and gloom. In order t0 reach heaven that
they believe in, but have no definite assurance
Of they will forego all the pleasures and good
things of the present. The Democrats may elect
President, after the party leaders in this State
are dead; but they wasted the opportunity TO
accomplish present result.

for Governor, by reclamation. II has been init

''TYIASNY."-A writer, giving "reminiscences
of G. W. Brown, Of tho old Herald Of Freedom,
says:
Old q, W. Brown, of the Herald of Freedom. was a
sort of tyrant in his relations with his employees
No one WIS allowed to talk during working hours in
the composing room. except strictly in relation to
the work in hand, and mo admittance to visitors
except on business" conspicuOusly posted on
the door and about the office Any printer who yio-
lated any such rule was promptly discharged, and
visitors who had the temerity to venture in
to be uneeremoniOusly % fired ont"
Was this tyranny, or was it simply insisting
upon having the full benefit of the labor that he
paid fort 1t may he thought tyranny now, since
Printers Unions run publishers business for
him, and steal from him just what they have a
mind to. Does if help along work in an office,
TO have the printers spend half day discussing
the gossip of the towni Or, is it any benefit to
the employer to have half dozen l0afers a day
come into the composing room push themselves
around among the printers, and take up their
time talking nonsensei If the compositors arc
working by the week, it is defrauding the EN-
ployer; if they are working by the thousand, 1t
is beating them out of their wages. If nothing
worse than the above could he said against G.
W. Brown he wOuld have a pretty good record
