DON'T counTexAmcs CORRUPTION.

The saloons expect to use the money they
have raised, TO secure the men at work
on the railroad extension to go to the polls
and vote for Fisher and Harris. These rail-
road men have no right to vote. They are
not residents Of the county. They never
were citizens and never expect TO be. But
The saloons propose TO overthrow the voice
OF the majority Of the legal voters Of the
county by the corrupt purchase of illegal
votes. We appeal to honest anti-prohibi-
tionists; 10 those men who believe a we'll
regulated license system is better than pro-
hibition; to those men by whose silent ac-
quiesence these saloons have been permit
ted to run and make the money they now
propose to turn against the legal voters OF
the county, TO condemn this attempt to de-
bauch this county and its public officials,
aud 10 politically bury the men in whose
interest the attempt is made. The people
of this county cannot afford to countenance
such things by permitting any man to be
elected whom the saloons spend money to

REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.
TIE SALOONS TAKE A HAND.

We are Informed that the saloons of Wicl-
ita have contributed large sum OF money
10 be used to secure the election of John
Fisher for sheriff Of this county and of
Amos Harris for judge Of this district. This
matter is one for the serious consideration
OF every right-thinking man in this county.
The question is, will you allow a lot of sa-
looms to run the county and control its court
and officers, and will you contribute your
vote to help them to gain a victory. II
Fisher and Harris, or either of them, are
elected il will be largely due to the use of
saloon money, and the saloons will claim the
victory. DO you suppose the saloons give
their money without knowing what they
are going 10 get in returng And don't you
know that they would not contribute cent
unless they are to be benefited: The fact
that the saloons contribute money to the
election Of a judge and sheriff is proof pos
tive Of bargain disgraceiul as it is un-
lawful. Willthe respectable people of Sedg-
wick county, directly or indirectly, counte-
nance such thingsy
Many think saloons are, perhaps, neces-
sary evil, and may be endured when they
keep their place, but everybody believes
they should be kept under strict control by
the public. But now the saloons propose
10 take control of the affairs of the public.
Public officers, especially judges and sher-
iiIs, should be above even the suspicion of
being under the influence or control of such
II power as the saloons.

FROM ST. LOUIS TO SAN FRANCISCO.

ST. LOUIS, October 10.-Capt. c. w.
Rogers, yice-president and general mana
ger Of the st. Louis g. San Francisco Rail-
way, who has just returned from the Paci-
fic coast, announces that the arrangements
are complete to open the Atlantic & Pacific
Railroad for business from Albuquerque to
the Colorado river on the 2lst inst. From
that date through Pullman sleepers will be
run from st. Louis to San Francisco over
the st. Louis & San Francisco line via
Wichita to Halstead, Kansas, the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe to Albuquerque, the
Atlantic L. Pacific 20 the Needles on the
Colorado river, and thence to San Francisco
by the Southern Pacific. Through sleepers
will also be RIM from Kansas City by way
of the A., T & s. +. Il. X. to Albuquerque,
thence by the Atlantic Il Pacific and thence
by the Southern Pacific to San Francisco.
Through sleepers will also leave San Fran
cisco at the same time and come east over
the same routes. The distance from st.
Louis to San Francisco by this route is
:, 440 miles, or $50 miles shorter than that
via Deming, and wilibe run in twelve
hours quicker time. The entire line is in
first-class order and is expected to become
very popular, especially in winter, on ac-
count Of the mild temperature Of the coun-
try through which it passes.

THE NEW YORK PRESS ON TINE OHIO
ELECTION.


The Herald: The results of the election
indicate that had the contest been .waged
on strictly party, instead OF purely local
issues, the Republicans would have carried
that State by handsome majority. 1t does
not therefore follow that Tuesdays Demo.
cratic victory in the Buckeye State means
Democratic victory there next year. On
the contrary, the Republicans may claim
with no little confidence that then, rs here
tofore in presidential years, Ohio will be
found in the column OF Republican States.
The San: The beaten Republicans are
at loss TO explain their defeat even 10
their own satisfaction. Deacon Richard
smith thinks the wool growers did it.
Field Marshal Halstead thinks the wine
growers did it. John Sherman believes
that Foster did it, and Foster probably
hasn't recovered from his dazed condition
sufficiently to do any thinking about it. At
any rate it is done. We imagine you will
find that you all contributed to it unawares.
The people have simply registered their
decree that the Republican party must 20.
That Is the meaning of a Democratic gov
ernor and Democratic legislature in Ohio.
The Times: So far as concerns the moral
effect Of the election ii is bound to be very
slight. IL the Democrats have carried the
State by small majority they have lost the
decided majority Of last year, though they
were aided by very much stronger prohi.
bition diversion than at that time. If the
III
ed their opponents majority In spite of
the prohibitionists, the Democrats won no
victory that secures them the State next
year, or that can have any great effect on
the elections still to be held this year in
other States.
The Tribune: The Ohio election means
that the presidential contest of next year
will be one Of peculiar earnestness. The
great parties present the appearance of be-
ing SO evenly balanced that few hard
blows may turn the scale one way or the
other. There will be no tidal wave unless
some exciting cause now unforeseen arises.
The Republican party will not have an easy
victory On the other hand no shrewd pol
iticion will be quick to assume that il is
doomed to defeat. The party must prepare
for the fiercest attack 1t has ever withstood.
The Democrats will be SO much encourage
ed by showing better than many OF their
leaders expected that they will gather up
all their strength for the struggle next
year. Ii may be that the result in Ohio,
which it took more than twenty-four hours
to ascertain, will be a blessing in disguise
to the Republican party by dispelling the
political apathy from which it has been suf-
fpriny

THE ELECTIONS.

Admitting that the Republicans have
failed 10 carry Ohio. and that Iowa has moi
given the old-time majority, the fight made
I'm each State has been u fight that bring,
honor, whether il is crowned with victory
or not. La both States the Republican
party contended for what the common
sense of the best men and women of the
State seemed TO demand. In Ohio, the
Scott law seemed a practical good, and the
Republican party made a square fight for
II. 1t was opposed by those who wanted
free whiskey. and by those who think that
everything can be done by an amendment
TO the constitution. With these classes
helping the enemy, the Republican party
rallied from their last years defeat and
nearly won victory, and here we may say
that the true Republicans everywhere will
forever revere the name OF the gallant
Foraker.
In Iowa, the Republican party fought all
the worst element OF society, and all the
cranks and soreheads and political rene.
gades banded together in the Greekback
party and won the fight.
Republicans who belong to the party be-
cause it represents the best sentiment Of
the country, eau console themselves with
the reflection that defeat is not Disgrace

civil RIGHTS DECISION.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October ia de-
cision was rendered by the Supreme Court
Of the United States to-day in i've civil
rights cases, based on the first and second
sections OF the civil rights act Of March LIST.
They are respectively prosecutions under
the act for not admitting certain colored
persons to equal accommodations and priv
ileges in railroad cars and theatres. The
Codrt holds that Congress had no constitu-
tional authority to pass the sections in
question under either the Thirteenth or
Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitu-
ton. The decision, however, is held to
apply only to validity in States and not in
Territories or the District Of Columbia,
where the legislative power Of Congress is
unlimited. So far as the statutes are con-
cerned the two sections of the law above
referred to are declared unconstitutional
and void. Justice Brady rendered the
opinion and Justice Harlan dissenting.

RAILROAD LANDS.

Gov. Crawford, the agent Of the State OF
Kansas, has succeeded in having the At
d S. +. indemnity lands taken from the
company and thrown open to settlers. We
someway don't believe there will be any
great rush for these lands, which lie for the
most part on the high and arid plateaus
west Of Dodge City. Except for wild graz.
ing purposes the lands are not worth two
cents an acre. Gov. Crawford telegraphes
Gov. Click as follows:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., Oct. Ito Gov.
G. W. Click, Topeka, Kansas: All indem-
nifty lands heretofore withdrawn for the
Santa Fe road, and not certified are restor-
ed to the market. This opens to settlement
over million acres between Larned and
