l. 3. Forbes came in from Wellington
last night. His face shows signs of having
come in contact with some hard substance.
| said: swell last night at Wellington the
landlord put me to sleep with Kos Harris,
and Kos dreamed that he was making n
Democratic speech, and just as got partly
awake heard Kos cry out, Il believe in
God, this country, and the Democratic
party and just at that time his fist came
down on my face. You see the effect"
Al. &. krebs, late editor and proprietor
Of the Saratoga Pratt county, sun, and
Mr.. j. L. Wyatt, Il merchant OF the same
town, were in the city yesterday and made
us a call. The gentlemen said, however
| strong the EAGLE might bag on Sedswick
county crops that in fact Pratt has better
corn stand than they had seen any place
between here and Cheney. or course we
were glad to bear it. Mr.. krebs said that
M katfar bnly ,,r, land ,.an ha
found in Kansas than Pratt county, aud
we have no reason TO doubt the statement
Both gentlemen united In saying that the
EAGLE is the best and most popular daily
reaching Saratoga.
We heard detailed discussion which oc-
CURED in a certain hotel in this city yestcr-
day morning touching the respective merits
of Kansas morning papers. The talk was
participated in by quite number OF gen.
tlemen and our Informant said that Tor a
while it looked somewhat doubtful as to
what paper would bear off the laureis in
the estimation Of the interested circle.
Suddenly quiet listener, in the person of
4 travelling man, arose, threw of his hat,
Strengthened up his shoulders, took out
and spread on the counter copy of the
EAGLE, and the way he won over to his
side the verdict Of the jury would have
made a lawyer turn green. The full-fedged
| came out of the contest with flying colors
| as the real representative daily of the state.
Our informant didn't get the name Of the
stranger farther than that he was 4 travel
ing man. As a class these travelling men
are the keenest, best posted, most Obser-
| want and wide-awake of ali business men,
men whose favorable judgment is reliable,
therefore priced by the EAGLE.
MIR. Phil. Brown returned day before yes
terday from seven weeks visit to his old
home place down in Cattarangus county.
New York. While absent, being u live
kansan, OF course he couldn't fail to take
iu all he heard and saw. As to the crops
| of New York he says they are good, but the
| weather was considered by him a little
cool, something of the temperature OF
| Cleveland's campaign. As TO politics, from
all he could see and hear he is satisfied
| beyond any doubt that the great empire
state is for Blaine and Col. John A., EN-.
phatically so. In talking with hundreds OF
| well informed men the almost universal
judgment was that the state would GO
down to the city with a majority for the
| Republican party which it would be i'm
possible to offset even though Tammany
should turn tail and go to work for Maria
Halpin's faithess lover. But it is the gen.
eral impression that even the city will be
for the Plumed knight and ie Black Eagle.
| or course Phil. saw W. NJ. Steenro!. the
father of our George, and who has paid our
valley u couple of visits. The old gentle.
man is happy and well, and enthusiastic
for the whole Republican ticket is a TWEEN
| ty-one year old boy with hi FIR, ballot.
