the credit OF the state that II Is 10 be so. Ii
deserves the compliment, which is nothin!
more than the expressed appreciation o
his valuable services. The state has com
to understand the value of such a man AM
knows his worth. He has attained mos
enviable standing during his first term, ant
will enter upon his second thorough,
equipped to render the state further an,
still better service. When the legislatur
meets the sentiment of the state will hav,
become crystalized, and that body will sim

pie by the reelection Of Mr. Plumb, an,

ment. Everything will be quietly done
but it will be effectual all the same -Capitdt
The fact that Senator Plumb is to be re
elected without being compelled 10 submit
to a three weeks .Tefft House, eat an,
dog fight, causes the heart Of the a, erag
Kansas manipulation TO swell with indigna
ton. Thus far these patriots have been en-
abled TO be IRE .ognized," and not having
single peg upon which to hang hope o
future recognition, they are flying aroun,
over the state with view to securing some
body to act as stool-pigeon in their behalf
II they can only get somebody 10 become
candidate for the senate against Plumb
they can they think, force n recognition
To elect Plumb without their powerful in
fiuence is equivalent to political death. L,
elect a senator without Tefft House menag
erie is something heretofore unknown i,
Kansas, and il will never do to inaugural
such a bold movement now. Ii Is needles
to say that the fellows who are most anX
ious to be recognized live in Emporia
They bave been fighting for recognition TO
ten years or longer. We sincerely hop,
those gentlemen who are SO anxious for rec
ognilion, will give us rest.-Commonp ealth
Inasmuch as there have been rumor
spread abroad, both within and outside o
Sumner county, that there is no certaint,
about W. j. Lingenfelter, Representativ,
from the 92nd District, supporting Hon. p
b. Plumb for reelection to the United State
senate, We desire..to.state, by the authorit,
OF Mr.. Lingenfelter, that all such impress
ions are erroneous. Mr.. Lingenfelter wa
elected after he had privately and publicl,
pledged himself to the unfinching supper
of Plumb. He is a man who keeps his wore
and will, under all circumstances, vote ant
work for Plumb. These statements are mad,
with Mr.. Lingenfelter's knowledge and a
his request.-Sumner County Press.
When John A. Anderson's bill to inyesti
gate the affairs of the Kansas Pacific road
and to compel them TO pay taxes on the tel
thousands of acres they own, and which
every year is advanced in price as the stat,
becomes settled, was up for consideration
where was Plumb, that he could not helK
the revenues of Kansas by helping this bill
through the senate s--ftchison Patriof.
We infer that our esteemed contemporary
the home organ OF Mr.. Click, really desires
information upon this point. Therefore We
beg TO say that while Mr.. Anderson was try.
ing to get his bill up for consideration in the
House. thing which we regret to say he
has SO far not succdeeed in doing-SenatoI
Plumb quietly and expeditiously put biz
through the senate covering the whole
ground, and had it sept to the House fol
Mr.. Anderson to pass through that body
but somehow Plumb's bill like Andersons,
never got before the House. The Patriot
bill through the senate, Senator does al
that is in his power to accomplish; he has
nothing to do with the proceedings of the
House.-Capitdi.

for six years, only three times had hi,
voice been raised in the Senate Chamber.
A gentleman who has Il e OF the Cengres..
ionat Record during the last session OF Con.
gress. took the trouble TO look it over, and
furnishes us with the following facts:
Senator Plumb is chairman of the COM
mittee on Public Lands. and a member OF
the Appropriation Committee, two OF the
most important of the senate committee.
During the last session he also served on the
hitting heads Of departments to seats in
Congress. He was also one OF the conferees
of the Senate and House on the Agricultu-
raj appropriation bill, the Army appropria-
ton bill, the Deficiency appropriation bill,
the District Of Columbia appropriation bill,
the Indian appropriation bill and the Post
Office appropriation bill. He introduced 107
bills and resolutions during the session. ih.
