ONLY THAT THEY MAY WIN.

What can be the matter with our
Democratic friends in this county !!
Just at time when they were hoping
that there was a chance for them to
get on top and to run things, it turns
out that they either have NJ fit men to
fill the offices or that they lack conf
dence in each other. The only position
offered this section of the state by the
Democratic state convention was
given deserving Republican, and
now when the Democratic senatorial
convention is held for this district the
same thing occurs. only they go still
further and nominate man who is
hardly out of the Republican fold yet,
or at least one who has been holding a
position for years at the hands of the
Republican party, and who in fact is
still holding an Office. II must be
sayOry cud for the Democrats TO grind
their hungry teeth upon. II may be
pleasant for the Democrats but it is
not for some other people that we
know of. The EAGLE has had many
good words for Ed. Dorsey, both as a
man and as a Republican. lie was a
boy whom the Republicans of Sedge-
wick county made, and they were
proud of him. Many of ms had thought
that he was SO genuine in his makeup
that no bait could tempt him to desert
the men who had stood so long by
him, or the principles of the party
which had SO often honored him.
When first told of it we couldn't
believe il. We can't under
stand il now. The men who were al
ways his friends were still his friends,
and il can't be possible that the DEM
ccrats have convinced him that they
love him more Some pretend that
It is the whisky question; that Ed.
don't want to be denied the privilege
Of drinking whisky and getting drunk.
We don't believe il. We never saw
Ed. Dorsey drunk in our lives. The
idea that he would. for the sake of the
interest of the saloon keeper, desert

Nolan Bros. and opened small store in
SGeppard's building; their business has
steadily grown until now they find it neces-
sary to seek more room, and have just be-
gun the erection OF AN elegant brick store
on Main street. KnoflOek Il Sons built
quite a commodiou> store at the start. but
they also will soon be compelled to build
and will probably follow Nolan Bros. with
another brick store. All the
other firms here are charging
their stock to meet the tall trade.

Claiming Ohio.

The REFLECTOR is of the opinion
that democrats are making mistake
in claiming that Ohio will go demo-
cratic the 18th of this month. 1t is a
claim that should not be made because
it is not likely to be realized. Ohio has
not gone democratic in single Presi-
Dental year since 1856.
Nor does the success of the national
democratic ticket depend upon Ohio.
In New York and Indiana the chances.
independently of the result in Ohio, are
largely in favor of the democrats, and
with these two states CLEVELAND and
HENDRICKS will be elected.
There are forces at work in Ohio
which may, however, give the state to
the democrats at the coming election.
Such result would conclusively decide
the National contest, and democrats
would be justified in giving themselves
up to the widest kind of joy. But as
we said before, we do not believe that
Ohio will 60 democratic.
But what if the democrats should
cary Wisconsin, Michigan and Illinois,
as now seems likely?

Brooklyn Eagle is excellent authority
for the statement that MIR. TiIden is
not to remain silent spectator of the
struggle now in progress. We are in
formed that he is preparing an address

ness that overlook him about five weeks
ago has delayed the execution of his
purpose. With returning strength he
takes up his pen to enrich the itera-

ton destined to become historic. He

What Will Be It's Result u?

The republicans of Abilene, aided by
the State Committee, have made ar
rangements for an extensive rally to be
held at this city tomorrow. The re-
publican candidate for Governor, state
celebrities, fambeau clubs, excursion
trains from abroad, expensive fireworks,
brass bands, glee clubs, and other things
too numerous to mention will be the
attractions. And the REFLECTOR hopes
to see vast outpOuring of the people;
it hopes to see Abilene filled with
strangers, that people abroad may be
told what a beautiful and progressive
city We have.
But c,ti bono? These republican raj
lies, costing thousands of dollars, are
devised for no other purpose than to di-
vert the attention of the people from
the issues of the campaign, and to whip
into ranks those republican voters who
may be inclined to assert their man.
hood and throw off the machine yoke,
prohibition and all.
There will be plenty of people here
on Friday, but there will be little hearty
enthusiasm for MARTIN. The crowd
will not hide the mask he is wearing.
He will deceive no one. Men will stand
before him and listen, but they will not
hear him say that he is in favor of or
opposed to resubmissiOn. He will in
weak and perfunctory manner talk
about the enforcement of law as if he
were the first citizen of Kansas who
discovered that laws must be enforced.
Men will listen to him but will not be-
lieve in him-thOSe who are discerning
will not. His mask cannot hide the at
tempt he is making to ride two horses
going in opposite directions.
But we hope that the rally will be
magnificent success. An expenditure
OF several thousand dollars should make
it that. After next January, however,
letters to the Chief Executive of the
State will be addressed as now to Gov.
GEO. w. CLICK" man who had the
courage and honesty to tell the people
just where he stood. The people can
trust such men.

Leavenworth has thrown off its leth-
argy and can no longer be truthfully
dubbed the sleepy river town." 1t is
growing faster than any other city in
the state, and its last stroke of enter
prise secured the new branch of tile
National Soldiers Home. The city
gave $40 acres of land and $4,000 to
secure the location. This is a big thing,
and the citizens of Leavenworth are
wildly jubilant. And amid all this re-
joicing it will be well to remember that
Leavenworth has democratic mayor
and will send Tom Fenlon to Congress.
After all this prosperity comes as a
matter of course.

Congressman FRANK HURD, of the
Toledo district, Ohio, is making a gal
liant fight for reelection on the tariff
issue. Mr.. HURD is aggressive and
vigorous and manly, and the REFLEC-
TOR hopes that he will be successful.
The REFLECTOR favors a reduction of
the tariff to the needs of the govern
ment economically administered, and
we are glad to see that the issue is be-
ing manfully met by Mr.. HURD and
other speakers in Ohio. Eventually,
the advocates of a low tariff will win.
