The Weekly Kansas chief. [volume] (Troy, Kan.) 1872-1918, 1882-11-09

Low-LLyED.-0n election day, H. +. Shaner
went to Severance, his voting precinct to work
for the Republican ticket, on which he was a
candidate. lot of hired workers on the oppO-
site side at once began to try to bulldoze him,
and failing, resorte1 to mean trick, that has Of
ten been played by low-down bummers. They
commenced voting for Mr.. Carter, a colored
man, for Superintendent, in opposition to him,
and put in quite a number Of votes of that kind.
Their design was TO insult him by runniug a
"nigger" against him. But as Mr.. Carter is a
respectable man, of good education, and a teach
er by profession, the insult was only upon
him, by the inference that it was a disgrace to
. candidate to have him voted for in opposition.
When u man cannot go to his own voting pre-
cinct, to work for the election of ticket upon
which he is a candidate, without being BULLDOG
ed and insulted, we think il comes with poor
grace from such crowd to talk about chooses
and s'rings." 1t is sufficient to say that A. j.
Mowry was one of the leadars in this business
hut if we should give the name of the fellow
who first suggested it, or of those who followed
Mowry's lead, there would be some men as mad
as hornets.

jim BLAINE.-From his home in the East,
Blaine can cast his eye over the country, and
see a remarkable sight His own State of Maine
held her election first, and gave one of the
largest Republican majorities known for several
years, with an entire Republican delegation in
Congress. His prestige was at stake, and he
gave his personal efforts to the canvass. Every
where else is ruin and wreck; and in those
States where the leaders have been directing
their energies to kill oil Blaine, the rnin is
greatest. Hoar sees Massachusetts, carried off
by Ben. Butler; Conklng and Arthur are bur
led under 200, 600 majority in New York; Ere
linghuyson and Robeson are powerless in New
Jersey; Don. Cameron is routed by 10000, in
Pennsylvania; Keifer, who sold ont TO the mur-
derers of Garfield, has lost Ohio to the party |;

ACCEPTED WITH THASKs."-A majority of
the Democrats of Doniphan County n thank
ful and magnanlmous set of fellows. There are
some men among them who can appreciate a
courtesy or assistance, but a majority of them
are strangers to such feeling. Hundreds of
Republicans in this County voted for Click, and
hundreds voted for James +. Forman, electng
HIM to Office; yet thrre-fuurths Of their party,
with the edge of their animosity unhlunted by
time or by favors, rushed to the support of an
independent Republican candidate, who had said
meaner things about them than any other man
in the County, just for the sake Of defeating
regular Republican nominee. They headed their
ticket Prohibition, then went almost en-
masse for the candidate that nearly all the Pro-
hibi,isnists were supporting, in order to defeat
the Republicans who were opposed to st. John.
Those Artist. John Republicans were generally
too earnest to he driven from their position by
such meanness but If this feeling had not been
displayed by the Democrats, Clicks majority in
the County would have been nearer 1900 than
1900. Ii will be long time before Republicans
put themselves out of the way TO show them
courtesy again.

NEw "Boss."-The "Beidelman OUTFIT" at
White Cloud, reads the Chief out of the Repub-
lican party, and formally declares it to be
Democratic paper. Did the outfit ever sit down
and contemplate the immensity of space, and
what an insignificant atom he is in the arrange
ment, Here is this great world, and there are
the stars thousands of times larger, but SO far
away that they look like mere specks in the sky.
Some 50 far away, that light, with its capac-
ty to travel thousands of miles a second, has not
had tims to penetrate here during all the time
since creation. Beyond those stars are Others,
SO far away from them that their light has not
yet reached there; and on, and on, and on, the
same thing is repeated. In that great space,
the earth does not count so much as the smallest
grain Of sand on the globe. Then, by proper
tionate reduction, what sort of figure would
the ''outfit" cut on that atom of sandi Meas
ured by the standard of this world a ps-ant on
the Rocky Mountains would be an elephant
compared with him. If he would only take time
to sit down and contemplate the immensity of
space, and the room he occupies in the grand ar
rangement, he would be 50 ashamed of himself
that he wOuld never again think of reading any
body out of the Republican party, for presuming
TO differ from him. But if he cannot be persuad-
ed to tackle immensity of space but still persists
in his design, hadn't he better try to support
regular Republican ticket once in his life before
he undertakes to read other people out of the

Death of willard P. Hall-A Scrap of His

Hon. Willard P. Hall died at st. Joseph, on
Friday, the 3D. inst, of softening Of the brain,
in the 63d year of his age. He was of New Eng
land psrentage, and was born at Harpers Fer
ry, Virginia, May 9th, ls2e. Although but lit
tie before the public, for some years past, he
was man of ability, and possessed of high
degree of craftsmanship. He was the author of
the present code of New Mexico, framed in ls47
or 1s45, he having accompanied the Doniphan
expedition TO Chihuahua, and having been ap-
pointed by Gen. Kearney one of u committee to
frame code for New Mexico. During the Re-
bellion, he was Union man, and was for a
time acting Governor of Montana during the
troubles.
But what we wish to speak Of was a scrap Of
history before tho Rebellion, but which no
doubt had much to do with bringing it about,
or, rather, led to the results which eliminated
in the Rebellion. Gov. Hall was for six years a
Democratic member of Congress from the st.
Joseph district, then embracing large portion
of Northern Missouri. In December, 1852, he
introduced bill organizing the Territory of
Platte, extending from 36o 80 to 43o north
latitude, and west to the summit of the Rocky
Mountains. His main object was to secure bet
ter protection to the overland emigration to
California, starting from St. Joseph. This bill
did not touch the subject of slavery, all parties
then accepting the Missouri Compromise as
fnality, touching this territory. Vim. A. Rich
ardson, of Illinois, from the Committee on Terri
tories, reported the bill favorably, but changing
the name of the Territory to Nebraska, after the
Nebraska River, by which name the Platte was
then generally known. All the Southern MEM
bers favored the bill, except Howard, of Texas,
who opposed it on the ground that it would vi
olate Indian treaties nnder which they had O
title to the land. The bill passed the House, by
a large majority. In the Senats-.Senator Hous-
ton, of Texas, opposed the bill, on the ss.ns
ground that Howard had. Senator David Atch-
ison, of Missouri, favored the bill. On March
Sd, 1883, the last day of this session, the friends
Of the bill tried to have it taken up, and q long
wrangle ensued. Senator John B. Weller, of
California, friend of the bill, moved that it be
taken up, that all the discussion going on
would be in order, and his motion was lost by
six votes.
Now here let it be remembered that it was not
the south that moved against the Missouri Com
promise. A bill for thu organization of the Ter
ritory without disturbing the provisions of
that Compromise was offered by q Southern
member of Congress, and supported by nearly
all the Southern members-those opposing it be-
ing actuated by other causes than those pertain
ing to slavery. The turmoil that followed, lead
ing to the Rebellion, was precipitated by
Northern man, and one who has the reputation
of having been one of the great statesmen of
the day. That man Stephen A. Douglas,
who indulged in piece of demagogism for

THE CHIEF, GREETISG.-SOme men were
dreadfully worried about the Chief, during the
late campaign. They had on n chronic sour,
and the only excuse they cOuld give for il was
that the Chief had said something that didn't
suit them. Because the Chief did thus and so,
they showed their common SENSE and manliness
by voting against certain candidates. Some of
them have for years been kicking against Re-
publican tickets, and their only for it is
that the Chief did not support st. John. Now,
the Chief has come to tho conclusion that this
Is free country for it well as for any indi-

y If the opponents of Prohibition want to
accomplish anything. they will have to exercise
n little reason and common sense, and not go off
like a herd of stampeded Texas cattle. The
spestacle in this County, on Tuesday, was not
calculated to encourage those whs have devoted
real cash in opposing the prohibition crusade.
The opponents of prohibition at Severance, in
Union Township, and in all that part Of the
County from Burr-Oak to Doniphan, went with
blind rush, hand in hand with the prohibition
lists, to carry out the programme Of the very men
who did the most to enforce prohibition in this
County, and to defeat the men who stood be-
tween them and fanatical persecution. They
have done their work well, and have elected
men to Office who will delight to obey the re-
quests of the '.Women's Christian Temperance
Union" When trouble comes again, rs it surely
will, those men will have to fight their own
cause. The return they make for favors is too
overwhelming for man of ordinary constitution
to stand
