A COLoRED PASTORS TRIBULATIONs.

A TRIBUNE reporter called at the house of the
Rev. William Spclman, pastor OF tine AbySslnlan
Baptist Church, Yesterday afternoon, and got from
him his side of the question that is now agtating
the congregation. For twenty mine years this Old
white-haired preacher, now over seventy, has
ministered to the parish. His disnterested abors
had at last resulted in establishing one of the
strongest cOored churches IN the Northern states,
when the present dSsen,lOn came to dash his hopes
aud embitter his declining years. When seen yester-
day he suffering keerly The statements of
some OF the newspapers gave HIM much concern.
"NO, the committee appointed last night has not
yet handed me the resolutions passed at that
meeting. Perhaps had better concede them some
thing in the Interests of peace. But that meeting
did not represent the church." said the old man,
firing up at the recollection " The real ringlcaders
OF the unrulv faction made Il catSpaw of Deacon
Harris, and they all try to pull me this way and
that way, till Pm fairly distracted sure enough.
They acted terrible last night It's good
thing Harris was bound over TO keep the peace.
He'd have rampcd around wild if he could. The
very devil seems to be in them. I'm glad the white
trustees were there. They gave them some sound
tax.

straight 1t always does. Why, sir, I've taken

botanical survey of the state can be
completed. Iwant to include nothing
without its identity has been determin-
ed beyond a doubt. 1 will give it gen
eral distribution, and therefore / will
have to depend upon the cooperation
of the botanists in the different parts
OF the state to great extent. Give list
of every species in your county. In or
der to obtain the description of a great
many plants found in the state a num-
Der of works would have to be consult
ed; and, besides this, they are not east
ly found, so it can be readily seen WHY
we are iE pressing need of single work
describing these plants. I-want- from
three to six good specimens of each
species. of all those that Ihave not al
ready, and those not mentioned in
Gray or Woods Botanies. 1 want
from every locality, where found and
the time of towering, etc. The names
and 2. o. of all the botanists in the coun-
tyis desired. Those who take an INTEREST
IN botany can conclude from the above
that wish them to contribute towards

attorney has not lived in the county long
enough for the people to know much of
him; but even the short time he has
been here has satisfied many that he
is not fit for the Office. He is decidedly
cranky" ON many Issues; is given to
trying his cases ON the street, with pub
lie sentiment as a jury; but worst of
all appears to live only in the past.
He knows no Law enacted in the last
fifty years, said an attorney of Judge
Howe this week.
Hank Ingraham, for district clerk, is
another good fellow; with nothing
much in the Office to attend to he will
do as well as any other republican.
Capt. Rogers made the race for treas

have him; though he thinks hey may
like him better this season. He is a
rank prohibitionist and by no means a

Capt. Holcomb, for probate Judge, of
Sun City was nominated strictly on ac-
count of his locatian, and not because
OF any worth in him. He has never

Gov. Click Last SATURDAY..

According to previous announce
mentS, Gov. Click arrived here from
Kingman last Saturday, making the As
miles in less than 6 hours. He was
placed in charge of the reception COM
mittee and entertained at the popular
Medicine Lodge house, in Judge Nc
Candless' most cordial way Here be-
fore and after dinner, he was intro
duced to hundreds of citizens. demo-
Gratis and republicans alike, calling to
pay their respects. He appeared glad
to meet so many appreeiative citizens,
and impressed one and all as being
plain, outspoken and cordialin his con-
versation. - s.aas1s
At O'Clock. when the cornet band
had discoursed some excellent music the
governor was escorted to the pavilion,
on South Main street, and introduced
to large audience by Judge O'Bryan,
and for nearly two hours he entertained
his hearers. The hest OF order was
preserved during the time, and in fact
duringthe Democratic part of the day
nothing occurred to mar the pleasure of
our distinguished guest, or of the hun
dreds who came to see and hear him.
Before the speaking commenced, in
the forenoon, the Cleveland and Hen
bricks flag pole was raised on Main
street by hundreds of willing hands, and
a beautiful banner on which was in
Scribed the names of Cleveland and
Hendricks, was spread TO the breeze.
The pole and flag are ornaments to the
town and a credit to the Eenterprising
democrats who we're Instrumental in
having them erected. ls
After the speaking Gov. Click was en-
tertained at five O'Clock tea" by Mr..
w. w. Cook and lady, who were old &C
quaiutances of the governor IN Atchi-
son. Judge O'Bryan, T. A. McClearey,
Eli Smith and E. z. Caruthers' were al
so of the tea party. Mrs, 5. K. W.
Field ably assisted Mrs. Cook in doing
the honors Of the occasion. T..
AT o'clock the governor started on
his return to Kingman, beng accom-
panied as far as Bross by a member of
the reception committee; and there he
was met by a committee from King
man, and driven safely to the end of his
overland journey. -. .'
He had then travelled 90 miles in a
buggy, made good speech, met and
became acquainted with the best people
the state of Kansas can claim as eiti-
zens, and made several hundred people
happy by honoring them with a visit
to Barber county-all in one day.

Ihere came near being trouble in the
republican GLIB last Saturday night
and 1t was only averted by the ingenuity
OF the president, Geo. w. Ellis. In
the forenoon the democrats were rails
ing their lofty flag pole, and the work
required the assistance OF many hands
This assistance wasfreely given. how
ever, nearly every one on .the street
lending helping hand, without regard
10 past affiliations or present political
preferences. Democrats pulled along
wlthrepublicans; re-submissionists ting
ged at the ropes with radical.prohibi-
tlonlsts; greenbackers managed guy
ropes while monOpolists and hard-mon-
ey men assisted in guiding the butt of
the pole in to the hole made for its re-
ception. All Of this was right and
proper, and the intermingIing of the
masses in one common effort to add a n
ornament to the town, in the shape of a
democratic flag pole, was not comment
ed on at the time. 49,
The day of reckoning came at night.
Sore and fretful at the flashing Gov.
Click administered in his mastery
speech, the republicans were anything
but good humored when the club was
called to order that night. A member
made motion to depose the president.
for the reason that he had been giving
AID tolthe enemy by assisting in raising
democratic flag pole. The motion
was seconded and the secretary was
about to put the question to the house,
when the president asked to be heard.
and this is what he said:
Gentlemen and Brother Republi-
cans: assure you it was not from any
love have for the detestable demo
cratic party, that / assisted at their
fiag-raising; but it was owing to my Pc
culIar knowledge of the block and
tackle that caused me to assist
Capt. Pardee said the excuse was a
lawful one and moved to lay. the mo.
ton on the table and retain the presi.
dent.
Ry. VanSlyke opposed the motion
and here he and the Captain nearly
came to blows.
Order was restored and the. clut
unanimously decided that as nearly ev.
cry member of the club was as guilty a:
the president, that therefore he should
not be ousted from Office. And so peace
once more reigned.

Col. Colcord advertises that he will

lucky cows, and 30 head of fine young
heifers, all bred this season to Angus
and Hereford bulls. The sale is to oc-

of our people are well acquainted with
Col. Colcord and his magnificent, herd;
and to all such it IS needless to speak
here; but if there ara any farmers or
stockgrowers who do notknow him, we
will say that he is the acknowledged

tisement and remember the time and
