CAMPAIGN NOTES.

Fort Scott has Blaine ard Logan
club composed of railroad men.
a formal reception was rendered to
Congressman Peters at kingman, on
the 18th inst.
The Blaine and Logan club of Maud
kingman county, now numbers about
sixty members.
Up to this writing the Democrat
have not held rally or political meets
ing in Cherokee county.
Dave Heller is the President of the
Blaine and Logan club Of Great Bend.
David is worker. The club starts
with l07 members. The call for the
Republican convention in the Eighty
sixth district, Mcpherson county.
recommends that the voters in their
township primaries express themselves
for and against resubmission of the
prohibatorv amendment.
The Minneapolis Messenger copying
a statement from the Abilene Chron-
icle that Hon. c. Il. Hoffman, having
been invited TO speak bv Blaine and
Logan club declared against Col. Mar
tin. SAYS that Mr.. Hoffman should not
be supported for the State Senate by
the Republicans.
Columbus Courier: The Blaine and
Logan club of Melrose have organized
a campaign giee club. b. the wayne
want to say it. because it is true, that
the Neosba township Republicans are
as wide awake and up-and-a-coming
as any other locality in the county. We

While New York has 800, 900 vo.
tiers. Pennsylvania 1000, 900 and so on
down, Nevada has less than 10000
Delaware 5000, Oregon 70,0flO, and
Rhode Island $4,000 voters. The 10000
voters in Nevada have equal represen-
tation in the United States with the
l 10000 voters in New York.-Em-
poria Republican.
As to votes correct, but as TO repre-
sentation not correct. 1t is true that
in the senate, which we suppose is
meant, all states are equal, which is
right aud il is that which was con-
templated blythe constitution. The
people are not represented in the L.
S. Senate and il was not the intention
that they should be. The peoples rep
resentatives compose the House and
the representatives of the sovereign
states compose the Senate. None but
short sighted people would have it
otherwise. TO elect senators by a d.
rect vote of the people would be vir-
tually to make two lower houses. Bet
ter in that case TO abolish the Senate
and have but the one House.

Buffers Speech at Topeka.

Buffers trip to Kansas was great
failure. In state enjoying the most
wonderful prosperity, with crops
bountiful and laborers receiving high
wages, and all the work they can per-
form, it was uphill business on his
part to convince the people that they
were suffering from agricultural de-
preston" Many friends of Butler
who have admired the man for his
sturdy independence, aud because of
his record as soldier, went away
from the fair grounds on Wednesday,
saying "underneath all, he is a dema-
gogue.' Regardless of the proprieties
of the time and place, he insulted the
intelligence of his audience at the state
fair by Observation-Disclosures labor
harangue. People had a right to eX-
Il non-partisan and non-political
speech from Gen. Butler and while
the Capital does not speak for the of
ficers of the state fair, il is safe to say
that Gen. Butler would not have been
invited to Kansas by the officers of
the association TO make political
stump speech. SO far as his second
effort in the evening is concerned,i iii was
failure as coherent and logical
speech. The attempt that Butler
makes in all his speeches 10 array la
Dor against capital and to stir up
prejudice and hatred against federal
office holders, is low order of dema-
goguery unworthy candidate toi
president. The ridiculous and fl,l-
Some fattery of Governor Click rs
the great anti-monopoly champion,
and bis advice 10 the people TO vote
for him, made the general look yer,
foolish TO the hundreds of Repu blican
farmers who listened to him. We ex-
p.ctcd Gen. Butler would draw as
curiosity, but even that failed, as there
were great many more people in the
city and at the fair on Thursday, than
there were to hear or see Butler on
Wednesday. Taking it all in all, Gen.
Buffers visit TO Kansas was a dismal
failure.-Capital.

Secretary Mcpherson, in response to
numerous inquiries, has prepared the
following letter as the record Of
Thomas A. Hendricks during the re-
bellion:
I'D. +. WEIGH, Esq, BaraboOr,
Wis.:-Dear Sir: have not prepared
any pamphlet about Mr.. Hendricks
record in tie senate, but during his
term i'm congress he voted against
every tax bill to raise money to carry
ON the war. He was in the senate
when the tariff act of 1864 was passed,
and he was one of the five Democrats
who voted against it. He was in the
sena'e when the internal revenue act
of 1864 was passed, aud he was oae
of. the three Democrats who voted
agains, it, On the question OF the draft
act, which was passed in the winter OF
1864. and which increased the power
Of the government TO fill up our weak
ciidd armies, he was one of ten SEN
atofs who voted against it on its Or
iginal passage through the senate and
one of sixteen who voted against ii
on its fiDat passage. He alao voted
against the passage of the supplement
to the enrolment act, which was
passed in July, 1864. He did not vote in
favor of any measure that looked to
CARRYING on the war. On the question
of employing colored troops, he was
always in opposition, aud was one of
the most determined Of the opposition
to the administration of Abraham
Lin coin, in all of its measures for put
ting down the rebellion. He was op-
posed to the amendment to the con-
stitution abolishing slavery, and was
one of the six senators who voted in
The negative. He was opposed to the
Fourteenth amendment to the consti-
tuition, and was one of the eleven SEN
ators who voted in the opposition. Ii
there was a suggestion on move
ment calculated 10 cmbarass MIR. Lin
coin, Mr.. Hendricks was always in

honest blow to be struck at the enemy,
MIR. Hendricks was always unable to
come to the help of Mr.. Lincoln.
Sometimes he had one excuse and
sometimes another. lie always had
an excuse. His record during the war
was deteseable and unpatriotic.

Nuptial Fancies .

Marriages take place at all kinds of
places-from caprice, love Of nOtOriety
and sometimes from untoward circum-
stances. Recently a couple were united
in railroad car; the stage coach has
furnished the place where the bridal vows
have been spoken; people have been mar
ried on horseback, in towers and balloons
The writer once participated in a wedding
on the piazza OF a summer cottage on one
of the Thousand Islands, the moonlight
glinting the majestic river that flowed
beneath, and browning the fair bride with
such splendOr as the kings daughters
we'll might envy. Niagara has witnessed
the marriage vows, and behind the bridal
veil OF Minnehaha Falls many a couple
have been made one. A Brooklyn minister
several years ago married a couple from
his chamber window, telling them to come
round in the morning and sign necessary
papers. The making out of the prelimi-
nary papers, if the clergyman is man of
tact, is usually done after the ceremony,
for not seldom is there a marked hesI-
fancy on the part of the contracting
parties in answering the fatal question of
age. Many times have the eyes of the
bridegroom opened wide as the tally of
years counted some half dozen more in
the presence of the clergyman than in the
pre-nuptial condolences Of private CONVEX
satiOn, and though the records are at
tested as true, to the best of the signer's
knowledge and belief, yet there have been
occasions in the experience of every min
lister when he has been very certain that
by some strange magic at least half
dozen years have dropped out OF the re-
collection of the antique but happy BRIDE
Strange accidents sometimes happen in
the preparation of the certificate. The
writer once spoiled the bridal tour of a
young bride by accidentally copying the
fathers instead of the sons name from
The bride was in great alarm and at once
on her return she visited the minister in
great distress, saying, "You have married
me to the wrong man." it was with no
little difficulty that she was persuaded
that new certificate would make the old
gentleman her father-in-law instead OF her
husband

A Story from a Hospital.


The brother of a well-knOwn and very
wealthy gentleman of this city died in
charitable asylum the other day. He died
alone, tended by strangers, in Il refuge TO
which he had come, all ragged and tat
tered and forlorn, but few days before,
and his dead body was housed in the plain
deal coffin, such as asylums provide for
the pauper dead. The rich man came to
the funeral and dropped a tear. or pre-
tended to drop tear, on the quiet face Of
his brother. He then turned to the M
iron of the asylum, who stood near: Il
cannot thank you enough for all you have
done for my poor brother" he said, effu-
sively. "He was well cared for by you
you know we could not keep him away
from this asylum-he declared it always
seemed like heaven to him out here" The
matron's eyes flashed dangerously. "You
leave me, then, to infer. sir, that your
brother left hell behind him if he. could
regard this poor place as heaven" she an
swered, sharply, and turned away.

An Engineers story.
Chicdg0 Herald.


I'm always dreading going TO sleep, and
| suppose it's that constant fear that has
so disciplined my mind that l no sooner
lose consciousness than give a sort of
muscular jump and am aroused in jiffy.
Talking about how long it takes a man to
dream, now | want to tell you something:
/ was running No. into Chicago one
morning, when had been on duty eigh-
teen hours and hadn't had any sleep for
twenty-siX. just as we passed the little
station at Utica, between Ottawa and La
Salle-you know, No. 4 doesn't stop there
I dropped asleep. Then | had a dream
"a great long one, about an accident. A
train order was mixed up in it, and, as it
wasn't quite clear, l remember how l
studied over the words, it seemed to me,
for ten or fifteen minutes. Then dreamed
there was collision; we struck and it
threw me up in the air thirty or forty feet
clear of the engine. mind how l felt up
there, and L was wondering where I'd
land and if any of the passengers was
killed. 1t wasn't very pleasant sensa-
ton, either, you can imagine. Then it
seemed l come down, and, strange
enough, landed right on my seat, with my
left hand on the throttle. At that very
instant | woke, and it seemed so real that
for a second / could hardly realize there
hadn't been any collision and l hadn't
been up in the air. Well, that dream
was full of details, and a good deal of
time appeared to elapse between its be-
ginning and its ending; but when l looked
out my window I'll be cussed il there
wasn't the switch-light Of Utica siding
right ahead OF me. You see i hadn't run
fifteen rods while all that dreaming was
goin' on, and was making at least forty
five miles an hour.

DIscoverv off a Roman AItar.

A curate writes the London lines from
Lincoln, England: This morning the
wOrkmen, while digging the foundations
for the new tower Of st. Swithin's church
in this city, discovered, about six feet be-
low the surface, very perfect Roman
altar. The inscription, which is as sharp
as the day il was first cut, is as follows
''Parcis deabus ct Numinibus Aug usti]
G. Antistius FrOntinus Curator ter.
ArLaml De SIuol D.atl."
On one side is carved in low relief a
vase for HbatIons, on the other side a
patera.
The stone is OF the same hard bed OF
coarse OOlite of which the Roman gateway
still standing at the northern entrance OF
the city is built.
Only three affairs dedicated to the Fates
have previously been discovered in Eng
land-twO at Carlisle and one near Silloth.
OF these, two bear the title "Matribus
Parcis." DedicatiOns to the deity Of the
Augustus are far from unfrequent. The
s'nomen" Antistius occurs in several
BritannO-ROman inscriptions, one OF
them, singularly enough, found in Lincoln
some years ago. The cOgnOmen Of this
Auustius, however, was "Adyentiye."
