Ny dear sir, we concede that Sumner IL
one of the greatest counties in the state, have
known and asserted it for years, and we Will
also concede that she has $4,000 population,
and that she cast l29 votes more in the last
election than was cast by Sedgwick. But
we must inform the Press that in Wichita
alone three hundred and seventy registered
voters did not vote at all. that two hundred
and sixty-fve voters additional as shown
by the books of the local canvassers,
failed to register. and that an estimate based
on the returns of the Republican canvassers
for the various townships in the county
gave Sedgwick county upwards of fort,
thousand people on the LIST of November
While there is little doubt that Sumner and
Sedgwick will, in the next caucus, show W
as the two most populous counties in the
state of Kansas, Sedgwick county expects to
lead. If it should prove otherwise, tb'

The sENAroRsHlP.

The enormous Republican majority in the
legislature insures the return of Senator
John J. Ingalls,, as fully four-ffths Of the
Republican members were instructed, BY the
conventions which nominated them, to ad-
vocate and vote for the Senator's reelection.
Senator Ingalls, has. during his twelve
years service IN the senate, won for himself
a national reputation rs brilliant, aggres-
sve and reliable Republican leader. and for
his state prominence in our National ccun-
ellis which gives il distinction, influence and
respect. He has few equals and no
superiors in the field of parliamentary
debate; his research and experience in lcgis-
lation make him recognized authority in
the senate. and his wide rsnge Of information.
his bril..;a gifts as an orator, and his arden.
devotion to Republican principles eminently
fit him for the leadership which is row. BY
universal assent Of his Republican colleagues,
accorded TO him.
The Republicans of Kansas fully recog-
nize these facts, and so, in nominating sena-
tors and representatives, they gave instruc-
tons, in nearly every county in the state and
with remarkable unanimity, for Senator
Ingalls,.
Two wears ago the Republicans Of Kansas
reelected Senator Plumb without contest.
We have no doubt that the legislature soon
10 assemble will re-elcet senator IngAlh With

HIS ACTIONS SPEAK.

Gov. ST. John is now receiving the noisy
and obtrusive sympathy of the Democrats.
Suppose that ut some period in his history,
Wendell Phillips, man of infinitely higher
character than st. John, had become all ut
once the object Of eulogy on the part of
the shareholders, would it not have been
said that Mr.. Phillips had changed his
views or that he had forsaken his lifelong
principles? Is il to be wondered at, when
people see st. John surrounded by an ad-
miring crowd Of anti-prohbition Demo-
Gratis, including numerous whisky sellers,
hailing him as the savior of their party, that
it is said that he has betrayed his followers,
and is it a matter of surprise that many say
he did it for money? That She was actuated,
putting the best construction on his motives
by hostility to Republcansn, rather than
by any desire TO help prohibition. j. shown
by his failure to work IN states like Missou-
ri. where he could have aided in setting
prohibition party on its feet, and choosing
New York, where such an organization la.
no show of success, as n separate party, and
can only perpetuate Democratic and whisky
rule. st. John may interview Democratic
newspaper reporters till the end of the world
and wrap himself meanwhile in the mantle
of praise rendered him by Democratic bar
room politicians, but his actions tell the
story. Neither his buster about what he
is going to do, or his lachrymose sniveling
about being ACCUSED of all the crimes in the
calendar" will blind the people as to what
he has done.

FANArucIsM.

Certain Republican leaders of the prohibi-
ton movement who advocated and voted for
St. John are now trying to shield themselves
from the righteous indignation of the only
men who had ever made the prohibition OF
liquor selling possible. After crccifying the
grsndest party that has ever arizen, they cry
out at innocent parties, "Stop thief They
went it blind on st. Johns hypocriticai cry
Of God, the home and family as against the
saloon" and at the same time enthroned the
party of rum. They stood by and held
the hat of the demagogue while he poured
vituperation upon the party that made tenn
perance possible, and praised the party which
advocates drunkenness by precept and exam
pie. The Republican party has no further
use for these Pharisees, and they had better
follow the example of St. John, their apos-
tie and leader. by joining the party they
placed in power, and which party, from one
end of this broad land TO the other, are sing
ing paeans to that Mephistopheles and howl
ing hypocritc, whose whole name is mad
up OF those of saints and apostles, bat who's,
principles are those of the lost, and who's
inspiration could only have been impaired
BY the chief tormentor of the realms OF tn
damned.

BLAlNE'S DINNER.

Blaine's New York dinner proved great
feast for the hungry Democracy. The New
York World beforehand prepared cartoon
with Blaine seated by the side of Vanderbilt,
who was decorated with huge precious
stones and most odiously caricatured. But
while the World was doing that. its editor
knew that Vanderbilt was Cleveland man.
Cleveland had been his dog in numerous
small ways, both as an attorney in Buffalo
on the New York Central legal staff. and as
governor. Having been faithful in small
things, Vanderbilt concluded Clevela nd
would be gem in greater matters, and so
he wanted him for president. At the criti-
cal time he contributed S150000 TO Cleve-
lands campaign fund, and to-day, if Clece-
land is elected, Vanderbilt, the man who
says ''the people be damned" can straiyhten
himself up, expand his chest and say, II
bought the presidency for him. just as
would a charm for faithful servant for
whom had further USE" The World
knew all this when it appealed to prejudice
by connecting Blaine with Vanderbilt

Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
No day passes while work is in operation
on the shaft that hundreds of opera and
field glasses are not used in eagerly watch
ing the workmen on top, who, even with tn
aid Of powerful glasses, look scarcely larger
than huge flies crawling slowly about. GAS
the shaft grows higher now" said Colonel
Casey, "my workmen are obliged to use
greater care. They are not sailors, and
most of them are, to some extent,
growing accustomed to working at such a
great height, they, unlike the sailor, must
work without anything to cling to for secu-
rity, A single false step, slight stumble,
a little faintness or dizziness would be apt to
leave nothing that in the least resembled a
human being, whether the fall was down the
shaft or at the ground outside. AS they 60
higher they grow more careful, notice, in
stevd of becoming used to and careless of
their danger. For this reason l anticipate
that each of the upper courses, which are SO
much smaller in horizontal surface, will take
as much time to place in position as those at
the base Of the cap. Besides this reason, as
the working space grows smaller fewer men
can be employed on the top. But it will be
finished long before the time fixed upon for
the dedication."

For the Eagle.
SIGHTED LOVE.

We purely love and with service sweet,
Some true response we hope to meet;
We give until our hearts are worn,
Oh, sighted love, where hast thou gone!
Oh, hope, sweet hope, where dost thou 60!
Oh wasted labor, is il even SO!
Are they lost indeed, or is it we
Who loving SO have failed to see!
Surely no good thing can be Lost,
In giving love don't count the cost.
Dur hearts may break, the cloud SCENT
black,
But for all we give, something must come
back.
Though nameless longing 6lls our breast
Ne pray and love and hope for rest;
Though mysteries dark may shroud our
life,
And hearts are crushed with bitter strife.
We know how true our love has been
lis true our hearts cannot be seen,
Yet ia the day when all Is known,
The sky is cleared, all doubts have flown.
The silenced love the aching heart
Came from thy tomb, no more to sma-t,
From contumely hard and undeserved,
Thou, sighted love, thou shalt be served.

or The EAGLE.
AN IMPROVISATION.

In silent and impressive manner,
Chill November's flaming banner
Proclaims an oft repeated story.
Falling leaves, and falling leaves
Tell how sadly nature grieves,
Ger the summers fading glory.
From her voice the undertone
OF Joy and gladness now is flown,
Sad and sweet the symphony.
But the Eolian harps chord
Deeper pleasure doth afford,
Through mortal sympathy.
In varied hue each leaf doth tell
Of vigorous life. Of death as well,
While falling to the earth.
Their influence hath power 70 move,
So like the hopes, SO like the loves
That in human hearts have birth.
We sigh and weep, and search in vain
When lost, ne'er to return again,
Till we, as the falling leaves,
May speak lifes fruitful season past,
And from its labors CLEAN at last,
And garner ripened sheaves.
