The Republican Convention.

Notwithstanding the fact that the
large dailies have been full of news
from the national republican cOnven-
ton which is in session at Chicago, the
reader is still unable to offer even an
intelligent guess as to whom the nOmi-
nee will be.
The wire pulling and active work be-
gun with Sunday morning, and was
continued up to the hour of converting
the convention. From the temper and
feeling displayed by the different dele
gates and delegations, it looks prOba-
BILE that the contest will be long and
bitter. BLAINE and ARTHUR forces
will never join, and LOGAN, EDMUNDs
and other candidates seem disposed to
stay in the contest as long as the two
foremost candidates hold out. AS a
matter of fact, it is impossible to tell
upon whose willing shoulders the nomi-
nation will fall.
Tuesday afternoon the BLAINE men
tried to elect POWELL CLAYTON, of
Arkansas, as temporary chairman. This
honor was to pay CLAYTON for his
treachery in forsaking ARTHUR and
going to BLAINE. But his election was
defeated by combination of anti
BLAINE forces, who put in nomination
JNo. r. LYNCH, colored, of Mississippi.
The vote stood: CLAYTON, 3S7; LYNCH,
49,. This result, however, is to be con-
Sidered a BLAINE defeat and not a vic
tory for either one of the opposing can
didateS.
In the event that it becomes impoS-
sible to nominate either one of the
prominent candidates, there are num-
Der of dark horses to fall back upon,
the most prominent being HARRISON
and GRESHAM, of Indiana; HAwLEY,
of Connecticut, and Gen. W. T. SHER-
MAN. The latter, in the event of his
nomination and acceptance, would be
the hardest man to beat that the repub-
licans could name. And his nomination
is not impossible.
But all of this is speculative, and
therefore comparatively worthless. The
democrats, as general thing, are not
concerned in this matter to any great
extent. No matter whom the repub
ican nominee may be, hewill be beaten
at the polls. The great democratic
party and those independent voters whC
have become tired of corruption il
high places, of the subversion of the
constitution and a wantOn disregard OF
official decency, have determined to de
this. This year is democratic year
and the sign thereof is visible in the dir
of the moon.

We have information that two dram
shops have opened in this city since the
meeting of the democratic convention.
This is direct and immediate result of
Governor Clicks speech that was cheer
ed over and over again by the delegates
that listened to him.-I6peka Capital.
The Capital is mistaken. Governor
CLICKS speech was nothing more than
a renewed utterance of that honored
gentleman's ideas of prohibition. The
opening of the saloons at the State
capital, then, can not be a result of
that speech. The republican party is
responsible for the opening of the sa-
looms. Republicans in high places,
among whom may be numbered Major
HUDSON, have deserted prohibition as
it was understood in 1882, and are
openly and strongly advocating the
nomination of man for governor who
is personally opposed to prohibition.
The saloon men of Topeka say: PRO
hibitiOn has gone to the devil; the re-
publicans are forsaking it; we will open
our saloons" Hence the saloons are
being opened, and preparations were
being made to open them before Gov.
CLICK made his speech. The respon-
sibility of the Capital in this matter is
greater than the Governors. The
Governor is honest and straightforward;
the Capital, professed prohibition pa
per, has been trying to ride the repub-
lican and prohibition horses with the
inevitable result of opening saloons. A
principle cannot thrive when it is for
saken by its friends.

Probably the proudest moment of
Gov. CLICKS life was when he enter
ed the democratic convention at Topeka
last week. His appearance seemed
to be the signal for a terrific outburst
of uncomfortable feeling. Delegates
stood upon their chairs and shouted and
waved hats and handkerchiefs until
they exhausted themselves. There was
no attempt to stem the tide of enthu-
siasm, and for several minutes Repre-
sentative hall was full grown pande-
monium. When quiet was at last re-
stored the Gov. treated the convention
to characteristic and powerful speech,
full of manly and courageous utter
ances and telling hits. twill be found
on the first page of this paper. Kan
sas democrats certainly should be, and
are, proud of their Governor and their
convention.

The Democratic Convention.

The democratic state convention
which convened at Topeka last week
was a markedly representative gather
ing from whichever point of view it is
looked at.
The delegates were brainy, intelli-
gent, handsome and substantial look
ing men, and they did their work with
directness and certainty whic h
amounted almost to inspiration. They
have sent forth to the democracy of the
state no uncertain sound. The party's
position is clearly understood, clearly
expressed. There will be no cropping
in the dark, no wavering, so far as the
democracy of the state is concerned.
Strikingly unlike the cowardly position
of the republican party on questions of
moment, the democrats will enter the
campaign standing upon a platform OF
principles which cannot be misunder-
stood nor misinterpreted. Occupying
such position, inspired by such unity
of purpose, the battle will be fought
enthusiastically to a successful close.
The brave democracy of Kansas de-
clares strongly for tariff reform, de-
mands purer government economi-
cally administered and demands the
resubmission of the prohibitOry amend
ment which disgraces the constitution
of the state.
By these signs will the democracy
conquer.

The wild enthusiasm which attended
the utterance of SAMUEL j. TILDEN S
name in the democratic convention last
week leaves no rom to doubt that the
great democratic heart Of Kansas is at
the disposal of the stainless patriot and
peerless statesman of Gramercy Park.
On with the fight No matter whom
the republicans may nominate at Chi
cago this week, the democratic hosts,
with TILDEN in the lead, will vanquish
him and put him and his forces to utter
rOut.

Political Justice.
New York Sun.

Seven years ago the Fraudulent PreS-
ident of the United States was in the
third month of his dishonest term, and
Samuel j. Tilden, the lawful Execu-
tive, lived as private citizen. The
Fraudulent President had all the power
and patronage of the. great office into
which by memorable crime he had
been fOiSted. He had the opportunity
to create a following for himself, to
make subservient friends, and to con-
cilliate powerful opponents. Nothing
could have wiped out the stain upon
his title; but a splendid or even clean
Administration might have conferred
some credit upon himself.
But that faint heart and feeble mind
could not succeed in welding stolen
power. His Administration, begun in
shame and scandal, was consistently
scandalous throughout. Thieves riOted
in the public Treasury. The public
service caught the faint of hypocrisy
and fraud from the Administration.
The sole ambition of Hayes was to save
by disgraceful niggardiness as much as
possible out of the salary to which he
had no right. When his term ended
and the accidents of Office fell from him,
he began at once to sink to his true level.
He has been kept from oblivion since
only by the force of public contempt.
He is absolutely without influence, al
most without a friend. His own party
scorns him. The feeling Of scOrn for
him has at last penetrated the most
hidebound prejudices and minds of the
lowest moral stratum. Even Beecher
reviles him.
This universal contempt of Hayes is
sharp and proper punishment. As
long as an American history is written
he will be pillOred in it
"a fixed figure for the hand Of scorn
To point his slow, unmoving finger at
To Mr.. Tilden seven years of private
life have brought only increased and in
creasing honors. With none of the or
binary means of acquiring and perpet-
uating political popularity, and at an
age at which most American statesman
have outlived their power, he is still
the leader whom all his party follow
with eagerness and look up to with
reverence. State after State declares
the wish that he should again become
candidate for the Office to which he
was once elected, and that American
law and right should be indicated, as
they were violated, in his person.
To whatever decision his personal
wishes may lead him in this regard, it
must be grateful to every lover of JUS
tice to see how much even-handed time
has already done toward the immedi-
ate punishment of the Great Fraud. 1t
is good to see the beneficiary of that
Fraud powerless and contemplate, and
the victim of it more powerful, more
honored than ever.
This is sort of poetic justice, come
with no hating foot. But matter OF
fact punishment of the Great Fraud has
yet to be executed at the polls.

The democrats of the Fifth Con-
gressional District have decided to
nominate a candidate for Congress
against JOHN A. ANDERSON. The de-
cision is wise one, and will meet the
appreciation of all democrats who are
acquainted with ANDERsoN's juggling
treatment of the Tariff Bill and the
dam-fool platform which was built for
him at Junction City. The REFLEC-
TOR would suggest to the greenbackers
of the county and district, that perhaps
it might be well to wait until the dem
ocrats make nomination before they
meet in convention. They may be
able to endorse the democratic nominee
and thereby make his election a GER
tainty. The greenbackerS would then
be represented just as much as their
democratic friends.

Dickinson is a great county. Her
agricultural resources are the best in
the state, her situation is beautiful, her
people are generous and her democrats
are invincible. At the democratic con-
vention at Topeka last week, she Sc
cured the election Of A. II. MARTIN as
delegate and w. n. HENDRICKS as al
ternate to the national convention
which meets at Chicago next July. And
her representation at Chicago will be as
good as it was at Topeka, and that is
saying great deal. MesSrs. MARTIN
and HENDRICKS will now smoke the
calumet of peace we spoke of a week
or two ago and receive the congratula-
tons of the REFLECTOR. Who would
refuse to be a citizen of Dickinson
county? Who could refuse to be num-
bered among the rock-ribbed, lion
hearted democrats of Dickinson county?
