To leave the wood doves cooling

For waves that foau aud riot

Across the summer tide,
And dream of fairy islands

But the other side Is moonlight,

lines long. which seems in its sweet simplicity
not unworthy Of its theme:

which is probably not unfamiliar to those who

them that heaven itself would be imperfect il

scenes OF earthly felicity:

PROF. B. D. HAMMOND.

The most exciting, probably, and the mosi
closely contested fight in last Saturdays con
yention was managed by Intermediates fol
the SUPPLEMENTARY OF public instruction,
The number of aspirants and their intelli'
genee- demanded close figuring and bright
moves TO win. In all the-number offering
there was not single incompetent. Either,
If chosen, would have made good superin'
tendent. The last ballot showed Professor
Hammond victorious. The professor is well
known in county and city as practical edu'
Gator who is thoroughly posted in all the late
improved methods of instruction, the re-
speetiye values of standard textbooks, the
requisite qualifications of good teachers, etc.
Besides these. be is an accomplished account
ant and well read in law. He is altogether
splendidly equipped for the Office for which
he has been nominated. As 4 teacher and
assistant superintendent of the Wichita pub
lie schools he was very successful and ex-
tremely popular with the pupils. IL elected,
and there is no doubt Of it, he will thorough
ly reorganize the Office and business OF the
superintendent's Office.
As the professor has lived in oCr State but
a few years il might he well 10 touch upon
his antecedents: d. ID. Hammond was born
in Jefferson county, Ohio, in lS4i. He grad
mated from the MeNeeley Normal College in
1850, then went to reading law, being admit
ted to the New Philadelphia bar in 1862 For
a short time he praetieed law in Cleveland.
but his tendencies being all in the direction
of education he went back into the school
work, resuming the while the study of the
higher sciences. Since his settlement in our
midst, as a teacher. as a conductor of insti-
tutes. and az genaraI educator he has been
well and fayorably known. To conclude, he
viii make a wide-awake, energetic and COM
petent superintendent of public schools.

T. B. WALL.

T.B. Wall fairly, manfuIly and by an un-
questioned majority won the Republican
nomination for county attorney. The con-
test WAS long one. an open one, and one
made partly, against as prominent mau as
ex-Judge Campbell, who abandoned the con-
test and latterly against J. Nj. Balderston,
Esq, who was Il strong antagonist, and who'
besides--owing to his defcat.two years ago
held largely the sympathies of the party. He
won the nomination by pluck and nerve in
the face of opposition before which many an
older man would have quaied, and in spite
of obstacles which, when understood by the
people. viii command the warmest admira-
ton. Being a close student, a painstakiDg.
untiring worker, and withal natural orator,
Notwithstanding his youth aud lack of inhu-
entail friends and in land OF strangers, he
has in the brief period of three or four years.
pushed his way TO the front rank OF the
Sedgwiek county bar. These are facts that
may be cayiled at, but they cannot be con-
tradictei Reared under democratic doml-
nancy. nursed in WORKOUT and obsolete moss
backism. six months of life in Il live commu-
in determining him to cut loose from the old
trammels that were warping his manhood,
and 10 cast his lot, voice and vote with the
party representing all that is worth defend
ing and maintaining in this great republic oil
free people. All praise to him for his manly
determination. all honor TO the eomprehen-
siye mind that could so successfully grapple
l. Of ifp.
While we are well aware that the batteries
of the opposition will be especially leveied
for the defeat Of our youngest candidate, we
are lust as wide awake 10 the fact that he Is
a host within himself, possessing courage
and consciousness of rectitude that viii era
BILE him 10 meet whoever they may send, and
at any time or place. lie lacks neither pluck
nor brains As his forensic and political CON-
batauts have long since found out.
In winding up this starter for the Repub-
liean nominee for prosecuting attorney we
have no hesitaucy in saying to his opposition,
of whatever name or character, that all cal
culations, based upon the presumption that
r. y. Wall can be defeated because he will.
when elected, stringently enforce the prohi-
bition law, will ignomiDiously fail. While
there are hundreds of men who do not be-
lieye in prohibitory liquor laws, they never
theless have distrust of all men or parties
who would trampie any law under their feet.
To such we say that for every Republican
vote Mr.. Wall loses on that account, he viii
gain two from the opposition parties.
We then take pleasure in introducing 10
our people our next county attorney, T. y.
Wall.

CAPT. IN. BALDHRsrcs.

Touching the criticisms as well MS the
praise of the speech made by Capt. Bladder
ston before the convention last Saturday,
the EAGLE, rs long and consistent friend
OF that gentleman, unlimited undertakes to
say that 1t has always found Capt. y. very
human, very full of loyalty to his party and
generous to his friends. After years Of
service TO his country and devotion to his
party lie was, two years ago, made the nom-
inee Tor County Attorney. He was defeated
by nominal majority, much to the diseom-
future OF his friends. who thought him justly
entitled to the honor and its emoluments,
and for one we still regret his defeat. That
the memory o.; this defeat should rise up 10
render him bitterly eloquent on such an oe-
casiou a. last Saturday was but natural. and
that he should deal in pointed thrusts was
to he expected. But we predict that neither
the reverses of u day. or Of year. or OF any
campaign can drive j. NJ. Balder>ton from
the Republican ranks. and that before the
campaign is wound up his voice viii be
again heard throughout the county in sd-
yocacy of the platform and the ticket, from
ST. John down TO the last man.

FRANK DoFFLEMYRE.


At Attica, last Friday, the Republicans o:
the 9th district re-nominated r. NJ. Doffle-
myre As their candidate for the Legislature.
Ballots We're cast for two other gentlemen,
but Mr. ID. was nominated Oh the first ballot,
whereupoh the action was. by vote, made
unanimous. Mr.. Doffiemyre's position on all
leading questions is well known, he having
promulgated it weeks in advance of his NOM
ination. In his announcement, il will be re-
membered, he declared in favor of an amend
ment 10 the prohibitory law making it less
stringent Oh druggists and more stringent ON
saloons in favor Of equitable railroad legis-
lation. and for the relief of the products of
labor; for the cutting down of excessive
appropriations; and. last. in his own Ian
guage:
81 am in favor OF the reelection of =. b.
Plumb TO the United States Senate. This is
something that should interest every voter
in the state of Kansas. He is now an ac-
knowledsed power in the halls of our nation
al legislature. he il an advancing man, aud
is calculated TO keep pace, in his political
movements. with the proud and prosperous
State which he represents.

THE BAGLE AND truth

An exchange says: 1.-The bluegrass re-
gion in Kentucky is proud of s'infiower
weighing Tour pounds, and for,y-two inches
in circumference but Marietta, Ga, steps
to the front with one which measures four
feet and one-halfi inch in circumference and
Sendersyille, Ga, has one which weighs
eight and ha,f pounds" Will the editor
of the Wichita EAGLE please rise to the re-
quirements OF the occasion ?-EmPorid NeWs.
II the editor of the Wichita EAGLE should
ever stoop to lie about the productions OF
the valley, he would aim to make il appear
at least plausible. All the big things we
have been claiming for. this country are facts,
and it hurts our feelings to be mentioned In
the same paragraph with men who are even
suspicioned of stretching the truth.

TEE CONVENTIONS.
A Victory Already Assured fer November.

proceedings, in detail. of the Repub-
lican conventions held last Friday and Sat
urday are given elsewhere. The conven-
tions were marked by no unusual interest
save the fact that the delegations, in large
degree, were men who have mot heretofore
made themselves prominent in our political
affairs. Whatever the meaning of this new
element. the men of whom it was composed
were not the less earnest or enthusiastic.
Upon the whole, we view such departure
as an omen of good 10 the future healthful-
ness of the county organization. New ideas
and new methods ausurs renewed life.
The ticket win be- found. in lis proper
place. That it will prove satisfactory to
majority of the. Republicans OF sedgwick
county there is not the least doubt, from the
simple fact that every man on it was nomin-
ated. rita roee. by large majority of the
representatives of the townships and wards.
So unanimous and. open was the action OF
the delegates that no less than three OF the
candidates were nominated in the absence
OF any opposition whatever and unanimous
ly. such action be;rs victory on its face
and such nominees will prove wall oil de-
Tense FOR the weaker ores when the battle
RACES.
Upon the whole, leaving the vote for st.
John out of the question, the ticket will be
elected by the largest majority ever record
ed in the county. And eyen.in.. spite of the
uupopularity Of the nominee for Governor,
the campaign WILDE the .liyeliest and most
enthusiastic Of any campaign of the past
The persoHet of the ticket warrants the con-
elusion that the fight will not only be lively
and the Republicans victorious. but that the
ticket will command the'respect of all good
men without regard TO party. There is not
a man on the ticket for whom any apologies
will have to be offered or explanations made.
They will one and all fcarlessly stand upon
their own individual records, backed by
the action of the convention which was
calm, deliberate and honest. The defeated
candidates even came out of the convention
good humored, and as confident of the sue
cess OF the ticket as their more fortunate
brethren, which fact simply eNinced that
any OF them would have made good nomi-
nees.
The EAGLE feels that the battle is already
won and would only urge. for the sake of a
memorable route of the enemy, that old
time Republicans refuse 10 listen to any
doubts or criticisms, from whatever source,
and buckle on :. the arInor and come to the
front d the fight where they have so often
been, where they naturally belong and where
they viii only be at home.

ED.;.JEwETT.

The manner in which Ed. Jewett takes
care of the interests of the widows and
orphans must be above criticism, or We
would have heard something to the contrary
pending the late primaries and and conven-
ton. In all the time be. has had charge of
the probate court no word of suspicion has
ever been uttered. For Il truth those inter-
ested in estates of Diseased relatives are
Judge Jewe.t's fast friends. He not only
uses the utmost care and economy in settling
up the accounts and estates OF the widow
and orphan, but by painstaking makes those
the most interested acquainted with every
step taken. There are so many loop holes.
so many chances TO take advantage of and
to impose upon the.unprotec,ed property of
the deceased, and il is so often done, that
any officer who serves as Probate Judge
without suspicion of wrong doing is natur-
ally strong with the people. SO stands the
ease and ch aracter Of Ed Jewett. In spite
of the third term cry his majority in con-
vention was a surprise TO his own friends.
Seeking his place were as good men as can
be found in the county, nevertheless his
nomination was by an overwhelming major
ity. As no Republican was found who
could beat Kim, it is simply ioolishness ior
the Democrats to attempt il.

Pennsylvania. New York and New Jersey
were Enarly drowned out last Friday. The
rain fell IN torrents over the greater portion
OF these states for eighteen consecutive
hours, the guages showing five inches OF
water. Is was accompanied by fearful
blow sweeping along up into the New Eng
land states Hundreds of bridges, dams
and mills were washed away and towns and
cities inundated. Nearly all the principal
railways in the states mentioned were
brought TO stand still. 1t was the greatest
rain storm for many years. Kansas would

rap UNANIMOUS THREE.


"Let the Office seek the man." is seldom
verified in these later years, but the Republic
can party OF Sedgwick county comes before
the people with 4 ticket this fall with the
three principal places filed by men who
sought nor even asked for the honors for
which they were named.
DIR. 4. u. Allen, who was nominated by ac-
camation for representative of the seth dis
,rict, did not ask single man for his vote,
did not even attend the primary election or
county convention. His nomination came MS
the deliberate. unsought expression Of the
people. who, without single dissent. named
him for the place, aud win elect Him by IN
overwhelming majority.
C. A. Van Ness, few years ago, was cho-
sen from his farm in Lincoln township, a.
clerk of the district court. Without ass,
feathers or ostentation, he came down and
quietly entered upon the discharge of his
duties, and ever since, In his gentlcman'y
and unobtrusive way, he has gone OF, max
ing no mistakes, guilty of no foolishness, and
ready ut all times to surrender the Office TO
any other fayorite whom the people might
designate. The people, in the meantime,
seeing nobody that they would rather have
in the position, have gone on re-nominatinG
and re-eleeting him until, this fall, he lound
his name before convention of his party
with not so much as another aspirant heard
of.

And primary day and election day found the
voters for John NJ. steele, the brave. big
