ONE year ago New York went Dem.
oeratie by 10000 majority, and now
even Democrats are doubtful Of ear
rying It for Cleveland. One year ago
Ohio went pellneli, Governor and

Next Tuesday It will give a good Re

IT would seem as II Judge A. 8.
Wilson's political luck had turned
upon him. After having been for
several years an invincible candidate
for Judge and a strong candidate for
Congress, he became a candidate for
the Republican nomination for
county attorney. He was defeated In
the convention, and now turns up as
an independent candidate for the Of.
fee. Office holding whea well fol-
lowed, is demOraliEing. It turns out

CARR AoHLER publicly declared
Saturday night that he would support
the straight Republican ticket from
top to bottom. Capt. MOhleF was
chairman Of the late ResubmlsslOn
convention which met IN Topeka,
and this announcement no doubt will
have the effect to strengthen the be-
lief throughout the state which has
hitherto prevailed, that by election
time very few IL any Republicans
Will be supporting the Click tick.

THE RspuhIieans ogaaIins oounty
have reason 20 Be proud o. their
county ticket. II Is one Of the very
best ever put In the field, and win Be
elected IN its entirety. 1[r. Moore
has By his industry and brains
worked Bis way from q laborer in the
ear shops 10 the honorable position he
now holds. BE has ability and couF-
age. He Is ambitious to rise, has ths
brains to rise, and viii rise. he is a
"hOly terror" to law breakers, and
that is the kind Of man We want for
county attorney. Mr.. FredsrleksoB,
candidate for the clerk Of the District
court. has the reputation Of being one
Of tlse very best school teachers in Sa-
line county. He is q ayoung man full
ofvigcr, pos sessingi brains and ambl-
iious % rise and prosper In the world.
A mOre competent man for the OfIiee
was never before presented in this
county. Not many years ago Mr..
fFedeEieksOn was living IN sallna-a
chofs boy and supporting himsslf in /
our publIc schools. Like Mr.. Moore /
be is self made, and deserving Of the
encouragement sOf ali. Ms. Car-
ruthers Is Iady Of fiue culture and /
many accomplishments. She has
shown herself 10 be possessed Of great
energy and fine business tact, and as
an educator has no superlors In this
county. As County Superintendent
she will graee the Ofice which has
been disgraced for the last two years.
Judge Viewers handsome endoae-
ment for 50 many terms Of ofice are
more powerful than any eulogy we
could write. He needs no commsnda-
tory words. Heis q tower Of strength
TO the ticket, Mr.. Dickinson comes
from the ranks Of the working men,
with q clear brain, fine business
methods, and with a ajudgment on all
public matters which was never faulty
In the least. He is especially adapted
10 the Ofiee for which he has been
nomiRated, fully understanding the
wants Of the people Of this District,
md knowing how to satisfy them.
The ticket is worthy Of the support Of
III Republicans, which we believe It
will obtain on election day.

An Impressive Episode.

While Representative Horr OF Michigan was
arguing that propriety, good taste and fair
treatment should compel confederate members
to stand aloof in the settlement of matters like
the restoration of Fitz-John Porter to the army,
John A. Wise Of Virginia asked for five min
utes in which to define his position in this con-
troversy, which he did in the following eloquent
words " thank the gentleman from Michi-
gan for the opportunity here and now to place
myself on record in regard to this controversy.
And speak for myself, myself alone, not as a
confederate general or one skilled in the science
OF war, but as boy who, at seventeen years OF
age, loved the confederate cause saw no faint
upon Its banner. followed it, shed his blood for
it, and thought he was right. / speak to-day,
so help me God, without one thought of trea-
son, and loving that flag that Is over your head
as dearly as did Daniel Webster when he apos-
trophized it, as you all remember. speak,
however, as one who, as he has heard this de-
bate, has felt that his mind wandered off from
it despite himself and was back with the graves
Of the confederate dead. recognize, sir the
propriety Of the suggestion made by the gentle
man from Michigan. appeal to the confeder-
ate soldiers here to know whether, as this dis
cussion has progressed, instead of following
the triumphs OF Grant and the troubles of Por-
ter their minds and thoughts have not been
back with the graves of their brethren and
friends, and whether they do not realize that
this is the most anomalous spectacle ever wit
messed in the history of any land, where the
