The Republicans in the legislature of
this state are generally satisfied with Gov
ernor. Click and all tears that were being
so copioHsly shed over the defeat of St.
John have been dried.-an sweet smiles of
contentment have smoothed the most
wrinkled fices. The fact is, Governor
Click has even surprised his friends in the
admirable manner Ire has managed the ex-
ecUtiye Office so far. Under the peculiar
circumstances he has difficult work to do
in performing his full duty, and at the
same time satisfy every element Repub-
licans, of course, were mainly responsible
for the election of Governor Click, and they
should have Il share Of the spoils. 10 give
any Republican an Office is certain TO make
class of Democrats dissatisfied. Not to-
give them part Of the Offices would GER
tainly cII.se tine Senate TO refuse to confirm
all appointments made by the executive
SO 1t can readily be seen the difficulties
, Governor Click is laboring under. SO far,
lac has done very well, and Democrats with
the welfare of the state ut heart, rather than
an insitiate greed for Office will defend the
acts of their Governor. His course i'm fair
ly distributing the offices will make many
converts to the party in Kansas.
