GENERAL ITEMS.

THE BETURN oE MAILED LETTERS.
Postmasters have had their attention
directed to a matter which is of great
interest to the public. Most persons
have an idea that any one who sends
a letter can telegraph to the post
master at the office of delivery and
have it returned to him. Such, how
ever, is not the fact. The postmas-
ter at the office of mailing is the only
person who can recall letter. This
authority WAS recently given, the
privilege heretofore being exercised
only by the Postmaster General.
Therefore, if the sender of a letter
desires to intercept the missive or
have it returned to him, he must ap-
ply to the postmaster at the Office
where he mailed the letter.---NeWs.

THAT RAILROAD LETTER.

Governor st. John retains IN his posses
sion certain letters written by Governor
Click 10 parties in New York, in which the
reform candidate for a Democratic lease
upon the governors Office clearly outlines
plan to fleece the people Of Kansas by the
building of new railroad to Topeka from
the south. st. John having obtained pos
session of these letters, now withholds them,
for the publication would be most damna-
bic exposition of the corrupt demagogue
who now poses as the great and only re-
former of Kansas.
The above extract, from the Topeka cor
respondent of the Kansas City Journal, is
in the main correct. We perhaps know as
much about this famous letter of G. w
Click to New York parties as any man in
the state, save and except Governor St.
John. We have had three conferences with
the ex-governor relative to the publication
of the letter, the last one just before he took
the train at Kansas City for his present trip
east. At that conference he distinctly stat
ed to us that when he returned to Kansas, if
he did not use the letter in q speech which
he expected to make at Topeka, we should
have it for publication. This promise, when
made good, will show to the people of Kan
sas G. w. Click in his true light, the big
gest fraud that ever disgraced the executive
chair Of the stste.-Ottaws, Kansas, Repub-
lican.
We happen to know about that letter al
so. 1t was q railroad scheme in which the
Governor said to his New Yord correspond
ent, ''there is cool million in this scheme
for u.s." Ex-Governor st. John can show
the hollow pretense of Gov. Click by
the publication of this letter, and it will
prove the Governors anti-monopoly dodge
and his fight on the railroads to have been
very weak demagoguery.-

ABOUT TIME.

Amt il about time for the Republicans oi
Sedgwick county to let up voting for Dem
ocrats in off years for county officers. The
very Democrats into whose hands they
place an extra power and influence turn
right around and do all they can to defeat
the National Republican nominees. They
are this year fighting Blaine and Logan.
BY this course club is put into the hands
of the Democrats to knock us over the
head when serious fight comes Off We
owe il TO ourselves TO stand bv our own
party at ali times, in preference 10 any DEM
ocrat, however hard he may beg. If the
Republicans of Scdgwick county would set
down right hard on boilers or fellows who
get to imagine that they are bigger than the
party, the effect would be surprisingly good.
This thing Of honoring mel, and ofthe party
picking up almost unknown men and max
ing something Of them only to have them
:urn upon and fight the Republican party
the first time the party fails to do their bid
ding Is getting monotonous.

ONLY A QUESTION OF TASTE.

The day that he was in Wichita Governor
Geo. W. Click spent a portion of his time
at Fritz Snitzlers saloon. We have no OBJ
lection to urge in this connection. 1t was

an hour with his friend. Mr. Fritz Snitzler.
If he felt like it. The matter is only alluded
TO for the purpose of expressing our dissp-
probation of the Beacon's course in CRITICS.

for riding about the city with couple of
Bankers who were members of the recep-
ton committee. 1t was their
privilege to do SO just as it was Governor
Clicks to so with few eongenial compan-
ions around for pleasant hour with his
friend Fritz. In fact, these little social pro-
prieties are all a matter of taste--simply
matter Of taste-and there would be lust rs
much sense in our objecting to Governor
Clicks going 10 Snitzler's, ms il was for the
Beacon 10 criticise Mr.. Ingalls, and Mr..
Martin for riding abont the city with cou-
pile Of bankers who happened to kindly in
vite them to drive around and view our
beautiful city, instead OF inviting them over

DON'T DO 1T.

Sedgwick county gave Garfield one thou
sand and seventy majority. Since that there
has been no election in which some outside
issue did net enter. This is another year in
which the vote will or ought to be practi-
cally solid, wear in which Republicans
ought to vote the ticket straight and solid.
Every Republican who wants to hit the
Democratic party the hardest possible lick
should vote his ticket without n scratch.
If the Democrats and mugwumps and mon
grels, and the traitors 10 the Republican
party, were told that every Republican in
Sedgwick county was going to stand BY his
principles, ticket and manhood this ll,they
would never hold another meeting or utter
another squswk. Don't you know that is
sos What show would this mongrel affair
which they cali Democratic ticket have in
this county if every Republican voted a
straight ticket Simply no show at all
They know that. So they will talk personal
matters to you, beg you, write to you, cuss

ring in the prohibition business and every
thing else under heaven TO get you to scratch
your fair Republican ticket and put their
name in. Don't do IL

A VOICE FROM BUFFALO.

Orleans. Indiana, Examiner.
Reports have been circulated that the
firm Of Taylor & Crate, lumber dealers at
Buffalo, New York, will vote Cor Cleveland
at the coming election. The following card
from them to Mr.. S. II. Heistand. their
agent at this place, will speak for itself:
BUFFALO, n. u, Oct. 10, 1884.
To S. II. Heistand, Orleans, Ind:

published the following reply, if YOU think
best to do SO.
Neither of this firm will vote for Cleve-
land. We could not do it if he was on the
Republican ticket; while he is a capable
lawyer and a fellow citizen of ours, we do
not regard him as statesman, such as
ought to be at the helm of the government,
and We think him entirely unfit to be the
successor Of Washington, Lincoln and Gar
field, as all reports that have been published
in the public press with regard to his gross
immoralities are believed BY many of our
best citizens to be substantially true, and
we learn from those who have been looking
up the matter, that these immoralties have
been continued up to recent date, and are
capable of proof whenever called for, and
meeting with no denial from him. We can
not vote for anyone but Blaine and Logan
to fill the highest offices in the gift of the
nation. TAYLOR & CRATE"

BACK BEHIND THE BARS.

One dark stormy night, eight years ago,
Samuel J. Lappin, the defaulting state
treasurer, broke out of the Shawnee county
Jail and left, fugitive from justice, for
parts unknown. Since then he has been
travelling in various countries of the world.
though now he is again back to the place
from whence he started. At O'Clock last
evening, Sheriff II. S. Bixler, of Tacoma,
Wyoming territory. arrived here with lap
pin, and he was locked in a cell Mt the coun-
ty Jail. A reporter for the Commonwealth
tried to get an interview with the gentleman
but he felt so fatigued and worn out over
his journey from Tocoma here, that he i'm
retired and went TO sleep. Sheriff
Bixler was also worn out, and he too went
direct TO bed at the Dutton house. They
should have been here at O'Clock, but the

ACONFESSION.

The following confession from the Kan
sas City Times is the best Republican cam
paign document We have yet seen. Com.
meLting on the Ohio election the Times
SAYS:
The result shows that the tariff is still the
grestest issue in Ohio towns and cities, and
that SO long as the city Germans stay with
the Republican party this state is Republl-
can. 1t also shows that money cannot stem
the tide in Ohio when once il starts. There
is no doubt the Democrats have used more
than 500, 600 in this campaign, but as a
Democratic worker says, "They are mean
enough to take our money and then vote
their own ticket" The Republicans now
claim they have agood chance for possession
of the next House Of Representatives, having
made gain Of seven members.

but good:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ToPEKA,
July Is, 1884.
Ny DEAR SIR:-There seems to be great
deal of dissatisfaction with the nomination
Of Col. Martin in ali parts of the state. The
prohibitionists consider that they have been
badly treated. The anti-prohibitionists con-
slider the platform an insult to them; and
hence neither side is specially satisfied. As
YOU say the Germans generally throughout
the state will not vote for Col. Mar
tin. Whether the colored vote can
be managed or not, 1 am not prepared to
saw. If had the means to set some party
at work in the matter, have no doubt but
the matter could be disposed of very sue
cessfully. The way Democracy manage
them in Atchison county is to trade votes
with them. II was done in my case before
the colored men voting for me and the
Democrats voting for McCabe. 1t made q
difference Of about two hundred votes In
Atchison county. 1t was also done very ex-
tensively in Leavenworth and Douglas coun-
ties. OF course / could not be any party to
the transaction, but l afterwards learned
what was done. / hope the Democracy Of
your county will organize and manage mat
tiers so that they can secure the support Of
the anti-prohibition Republicans; they are
having consultations in in this city
as to what course they will pur-
sue. Some desire a representation on the
State ticket, while others favor voting for
just such men as they like upon the Dem
ocratic ticket hardly think there is any
doubt about the Democratic national ticket
succeeding. The Democrats from the east
place the majority Of Gov. Cleveland at
from sixty 10 seventy-five thousand and also
say that New Jersey, Connecticut and Massa-
chusetts are safe. The nomination of Gov.
St. John on the Prohibition ticket will I'M
doubleday 60 very far toward making Ohio
safe for Cleveland, as well as Illinois, Iowa
and Wisconsin, though it is early yet to
speculate as TO what will be the result of his
nomination. That can be determined only
after waiting few days to see what course
is decided on. 1 am, my dear sir,
