Hon. Lewis Hanback,, of Salina, we
are informed upon reliable authority,
IL squarely before the people of the
state as one Of the candidates for Con-
gresham at large. From q personal
and very pleasant acquaintance with
Mr.. Hanback, Of several years, we are
able to speak from our Ow n knowledge
when we hand in our endorsement Of
his candidacy. Mr.. Hanback, Is one
OF the brightest men i'm the State i'm. |
tellectually, while he has all the char |
acteristic vigOr and energy of progress
sive Kansas. He has been identified
with Kansas interests since the earliest |
days, has been a consistent, fighting
Republican always, and is ancompro-
missing in his blows for Republican
principles. In Congress he would be |
classed with the workers. and would |
come rs near filling Jim Lanes ideal |
Of public servant a. any man We
know lie, "a man who would get up
any time Of night To serve his cOnstit-
uents." 1t Is such men that the party
in this State should delight to honor.
We are glad to know that his friends
have induced him to enter the race i'm |
earnest, and on his determination the |
people may expect q vigorous canvass
meant to win.-Otdyd Republican.

county commissioners think their sole
business is to spend the funds of the |
county, when We look ut their appro-
priation Of $1,000 to help build bridge
across the Saline river, within a little
over one quarter of a mile of one al
ready there. 1t appears others are
thinking this needless expense ~

SAYS the commissioners located the
present bridge after due dcliberation,
and nobody will deny but the con,-

county funds, and men Of good juds- |

ship were and are opposed 10 voting
bonds IL build bridge. where there is
one already that answers all necessary
purposes and that if the show had |
not been in Salina, on the day Of the
they would have been de-
feated. There were only sixty votes
for the bonds In the township while |
their vote ut the presidential election
was LOO and now no doubt IL $50.
Therefore One-third favored the |
scheme. for 1t is said every man that |
could he induced To vote for the scheme |
was drummed up to the polls, and |
held there until he voted. Why not |
put the bridge across the Smoky south
Of town, then II would be of some ben |

am glad To learn that the chairman
Of the board Of commissioners opposed |
the grant. But he of the Third Dis

and argued the Second
District man into il; very reluctantly
he voted for it. What is the object Of
this appropriation certainly it il not |
beneficial to any body but Cambria, |
and 1t is doubtful il it Is any benefit to
them. FARMER.
