After surrendering himself he was brought

BARD UP FOE TIMBER.

After adjourning for more time in which
to consider and to figure the final result of
the deliberations of the Sedgwick county
democracy, as shown by the ticket nominal
ed, is both queer and assuring. Two Demo
Gratis and two Republicans compose their
ticket, with the further endorsement OF an
other Republican. Upon the whole there is
more Republican timber in the ticket than
anything else. If tits not square admission
that no Democrats could be found in the
county fit, it is at least an acknowledgement
that the party had nothing TO equal the
average Republican deserter. Col. Russell
and Squire Hoss have both been life long
Republicans, and have SO voted and acted
while Wall never voted democratic ticket
but once and for which he fully atoned when
he voted for the sainted Garfield.

GREEN MOSsBACKERs.

While the Democrats are appealing TO the
Greenbackers of this county 10 east their
ballots against Wall for the reason that moss
wouldn't grow on his back, it might be well
for the Greenbackcrs TO remember that the
Dates have political mote in their own eyes
about the size of hay-rick. 1t will hardly
be forgotten so soon that Dale. but few
years ago. was candidate on the GreenbacS
ticket Wall took step forward in casting
his fortunes with the Republican party; but
Dale, in leaving the Greenback party, TO en-.
ter the Democratic ranks, went back and
down at least fifty years.

BOLT KINGMAN.

From the reading Of an editorial in the
kingman Cai-ea OF last week we judge that
there is an excuse being sought to bolt Mr.
Gillett, the regular nominee for representa-
tive. Frank Gilletts political connections
and general acquaintance arc such as 10 rem
der him an influential member in the inter
ests OF the Southwest, and we hope the Re
publicans OF Kingman will not permit his
defeat simply because he cannot be made thu
tool of a clique OF combination of any kind
As TO the pretended charges. we are satisfied
that there is, in fact, nothing in them, anC
his party should not allow him to be forced
into defensive campaign. While he is try
ing TO explain things that, probably, call FOL
explanation, his enemies viii defeat boil
him and the party.

We believe that the most direct course to
practical solution Of this prohibition prob
lem would be immediate re-submission to O
vote of the people. If, in fact, Kansas is q
prohibition state the friends Of the measure
need have no fears. If, on the other hand,
an actual majority is against prohibition, LEI
us put an end to the shallow pretense and
shameful mockery.-F2orence Herald.
The above, from republican paper, il
hardly in keeping with the party sentiment
in this state. The legislature might submit
a proposition for the repeal Of the amend
ment (Which it will not do) but 1t could moi
provide for another vote on the adoption OIL
rejection of a proposition already part Of
the state constitutional Commonwealth.

GEORGE W. CLICK AND RAILROAD LEGlS
LATI0N.

To the Editor cf tie Eagie:
see that il is claimed for Mr.. Click, the
Democratic candidate for governor, that he
is great rcformer, opposed to railroad and
all other monopolies. In fact, if he is cor
rectly reported, he sets up such claims for
himself in speeches that he is making in diff
ferent places in the State. Now, fortunately
for the truth Of history, but unfortunately
for Mr.. Click, he has made record on the
question of railroad legislation that l pro-
pose to present and let the people judge for
themselves and decide the question as to
whether he is true reformer. opposed to all
monopolies. Although there has been much
complaint, by the people, OF unjust discrimi-
nations by the railroads. there has been no
such discrimination, or hut little effort in
that direction. At the session of the Legis-
lature for 1881 there was Il bill introduced in
the Senate which provided for the appoint.
ment of three commissioners whose duties
il was made to investigate the whole system
Of freights and charges by the different roads
in the State and report to the governor OF
tue Sldte tut result OF their
by the 10th of May, 1889, and for this work
they were to receive the sum of 81 400. This
bill passed to the third reading when q. w.
Click, this distinguished reformer. offered an
amendment to the bill, which provided that
the commissioners should do the work in
ninety days and receive $500 for their serv-
ices, which amendment was adopted and the
bin. as amended, put upon its final passage,
Click voting in the negative.
People acquainted with legislation know
that there are other modes resorted to to kill
bill than that of voting directly against it,
and that of amending it so AS to utterly de-
strOy its usefulness, as in this case, is favor
lite one with Legislators who wish to accom-
plish an end and have not the nerve and hon.
esty OF purpose to show their hand. Click
well knew that by amending the bill as he
proposed. he would utterly destroy it and
thereby give his friends. the railroads, two
years longer in which to operate in their own
way. Hence he offered the amendment and
voted against it as amended

Most of our people, however, came later
period. with more money and n better equip
ment for the race of life. They take to Kan
sas naturally, "mix well,'' and put on all the
airs and pride of the 'ffty-sixers after they
have been here two years. This is well.
Nothing could be better. Archie Williams,
of Topeka, used to say that the Indiana i'm
migrant dropped his carpet sack at the board
ing house, inquired the way to the polls, vot-
ed before dinner, and ran for the Legislature
next year. We asked Chester Thomas, a
islature from Topeka that year. "Weli, itil

fore. Sick of these critters with record"
And thus the newcomer becomes reeonciled

between the anfi-St. John Republicans and
