Importance Of the positions to be filed, and
keep in view the special fitness of the many
candidates. All men are not fit to be made
members Of Congress. To be politician in
the modern sense is not a qualification, and
should be disqualification. The shave and
bland ''hand shaker possesses no special fit
ness, yet these kind Of fellows boom. Our
observation is that man who is possessed of
an inordinate desire for Office is but poorly
fitted TO perform the duties Of an officer.
When the convention meets to nominate the
candidates for Congress, these questions
should be considered OF each who submits
his claims to that convention: What special
fitness does he possess? Has he capacity for
legislative business! Has he the qualities of
craftsmanship Can and will he ably repre-
sent the great progressive West, and the in
terests of the whole peopley Let standard
like this be set, and then let the convention,
for the people and for the party. demand four
men to come under this standard before CIV
ing them IA nomination which insures them a

the above standard. He does not belong

TEE conaklss1oNAL CONVENTION.

The congressional convention forthe Third
district, which met at Emporia last Wednes-
day, was very fully attended although it was
well understood that Mr.. Ryan would have
no opposition. That fact OF itself was very
complimentary. Politicians are always very
unanimous when they once find out that the
people have made up their minds. Mr.. SAM
uel Peters, now n candidate for congressman
at large, for long time endeavorcd to make
break in Ryan's ranks, but found that he
was butting his head against wall. Sever
al other disgruntled politicians criticised the
EAGLES position last summer and fall when
ii boldly pr0claimeh that no man nor combi
nation Of men could beat Mr. Ryan before
the people. They now see how il is, we
hope.
The following is the platform or resoiu-
tiOns adopted by the convention at Emporia.
Resoieed, That the Republican party now
rs during the past twenty years, is party Of
principle and that it has within itself all the
elements Of progress necessary TO keep il
abreast with the advancing greatness of the
country.
Resoired. That while we mourn the loss by
an assassin Of one OF the great men of the
NatiOn. PRESIDENT Garfleid. we rejoice that
under our laws, he was peaceably succeeded
by one in whom we have confidence. not on
ly in his patriotism but in his wisdom. which
has been exemplifed in his efforts to harmo-
nize the warning factions in the Nation, and
in the party of which he is the acknowledged
head.
ResOired, That the national banks are safe
and reliable medium OF exchange and we
commend the action OF our representative in
Congress in voting for the bill to continue
their existence. yet in view of the fact
that the basis OF their existence. 10
wit: the bonded Indebtedness Of the country
is fast being paid of. we deem it wise to pro-
vide a substitute to take its place when that
event happens. and as n step towards this
end it will be an act Of wisdom for the gov
ernment to receive on deposit all the gold
coin offered to it. and issue certificates there
for, the government holding the coin solely
for the redemption of such certificates.
These certificates. with such an amount Of
greenbacks rs can be kept at par with coin
mot exceeding the amount now in circilla
tom, will answer as Il temporary measure,
until the wisdom of Legislators can provide Il
substitute.
Rss0taed, That it is unnecessary for this
convention to say single word in commend
alton of our nominee. Hon. Thomas Ryan.

ton to-day is evidence that the people will
