An uxApPRrcrArro HONOR.

In accordance with pre-arranged pro-
gramme. the Wichita EAGLE was the irst
paper in the State to put up ST. John for
third term Two or three weeks reflection
or something else-has brought about paDg
OF remorse for that rash act, aud now the
bird Of prey attempts to hedge by saying
that Il didn't propose the Saint for re-elee-
ton, but only gave him complimentary no.
ticc for the little good he had done. We be.
lieve in repentance, and the exhibition of
that virtue on the part OF the EAGLE will re-
ccivc at our hands the best encouragement
we can give. Go on Mr.. EAGLE and as
O1sricn said to Peter Simple, "we'li make a
man out of you, &c You don't make a fool of
yourself" The Wichita EAGLE cant run
us into controversy over st. John for third
term. His mustache is about all there Is to
him worthy Of discussion, and we don't pro-
pose to waste any time or words over that.
--Caidren Commercial.
The EAGLE, with its usual forecast, seeing
the inevitable, and unwilling that its repu-
tation as a political prophet should suffer,
simply came 10 the fore with the announce.
ment that il was not in the power Of any one
to beat ST. John for a nomination in the Re-
publican convention for third term as Gov
ernor, proposition that we supposed even q
long horn might successfully grapplc.

The CoVrant and other papers announced

public opinion led the Courier and il

as II was inclicd that way anyhow. Even
the Wichita EAGLE against its own feelings
and desires yielded TO the pressure before
the Capital did. But the Capital finally

TWILL NEVER DO.

The eastern Kansas politicians and papers
are striking for the plan Of nominating two
Congressman In each district and one at
large. Don't you see the point. By this
scheme the two great districts OF the state
would only get ono Congressman extra each
and eastern Kansas would secure five Con-
gressmen out OF the seven. Ii wont do and
the west will have none Of IL. -Four Con
ton Of the whole people and the state con-
vcntion Is a very proper body 10 do it.
