FOLKS. WON'T you cor

The forlorn gang of ex-confederates, rem
egade Republicans, moss-grown Bourbons,
wild-eyed Boomers and crazy Greenbackers
mastering along the highways of Sedgwick
county by day and giving the people wind
puddin' by night, ought to make an intense
ly interesting show bnt they don't. The en-
colragement accorded the only original
combination of mugwumps by an apprecia-
tive people, seems to be little off. Not
withstanding the extraordinary exertions
made by the Democrats TO bring together an
aggregation of political curiosities such as
had never been offered to ihe people of Sedg-
wick county by any previous management,
there still appears to be screw loose some
where. The ex-confederates are taken along
to tell loyal union soldiers how to preserve
this country without whipping rebels; the
greenbackers are wound in to explain to Re-
publicans how an unfailing national cur
rency was made such blessing; the rene
gade Republicans are assigned position
near the tail end Of the procession to appolo-
gize for themselves and present company;
while the wild-eyed boomers take the parts
of monkey up a pole and the great snake
eating skunk, by turns. The show seems to
be strictly neither animal, puppett or circus,
but kind of Touring Antic, all under
the single canopy Of heaven where the ac-
tors outnumber the spectators, costing moth
ing to get in, the pay being the concession
ofevery principle and all conscience. 1t is
a show in which all connected, including the
proprietors, managers, hangers-on and the
ones who do the monkeying, are all clowns
and all ground and lofty tumblers. Some
people may be inclined 10 think it a slight
of hand performance, but their tricks are too
thin to deceive even one-cyed voter of At
rican decent.
1t can hardly be possible that any inteli-
gent Republican of Sedgwick county fails to
understand the makeup of this show, the
record and history of its principle actors,
why it was organized and what is expected
be accomplished by it. Itrepresents moth
ing nor anybody, except the interests of the
men who are running il, and them only in
case its members can be elected to Office.
The candidates as whole are bound by no
party principle, some holding to::one thing
some to another, some of them being for
prohi bition ard some against it, some for
free trade and some against it, some for hard
money and some against it, some for the
national Republican ticket and some against
it; but, they are all unanimously for office.

A SPLENDID MAN.

l. A. Wilson, the Republican nominee for
commissioner, is true, solid man, one who
cannot be bought, one who will enter into
nc schemes or jobs, one who will guard well
the interests of the county and at the same
time see that the taxes are kept at the low
est living point. His experience as BUSH
ness man will be valuable TO the county.
The Republicans of that district should not
forget that this Office of commissioner is a
very important one TO every taxpayer in
the county and not forget Mr.. Wilson on
elecfi ON day

OUT WEST
A Hoos,.r Writes About wichita

The following correspondence We clip
from the yevay Qnd.) Reveille. For a
stranger the writer sizes our city, county and
valley up in very good shape:
WICHITA, Kas., Sept. 20, 1854.
DEAR REvEILE-I have few minutes to
spare before the train leaves for Kansas
City, and l will spend them giving your
readers my impressions of Wichita and
Sedgwick county. This is acknowledged by
every one to be the banner county of this
state, and this the best city west of Topeka.
Wichita is situated on the banks of the Ar
kansas and the Little Arkansas rivers, about
two hundred miles southwest of Kansas
City. A magnificent iron wagon bridge and
several railroad bridges span the rivers.
This city contains 5000 people, and 1 do
full Of people and vehicles as are the busiest
streets in Cincinnati. Where the people
come from is marvel. Six railroads center
here and two more are being constructed.
There soon will be built large union depot.
The government will erect new court
building and postoffice in the near future.
The United States courts are held here. This
city has gas and water works, fire depart
ment, fine opera houses, street cars, skating
Kinks, and everything that is found in larger
cities. The buildings generally are built of
brick, and would be credit to Cincinnati.
Rents are enormously high. 1t would make
your head swim to hear the figures. Single
small rooms in dwelling houses, say 15xf5,
rent for $40 or SIS month. Vacant lots
worth from $500 to $4,000. Land a mile
from town $500 to $500 per acre. But good
land ten or twelve miles from Wichita can
be bought from $40 TO $50 per acre. Finely
improved farms from $40 to $50 per acre.
Fifteen years ago not a house stood here.
There are upwards of 10000 people in this
county. There is scarcely foot of waste
land here. The whole country is bottom
land. In my humble opinion, the rich Ohio
river bottom land, near Mr.. John Wright's
farm, does not surpass this in fertility.
Such corn, wheat, watermelons, peaches, APP
Piles, sweet and Irish potatoes, grow no.
where else as they do here.
There has never, believe, been a cyclone
in this county. The climate this autumnal
weather surely surpasses that Of Italy.
Taxes are high, but the valuation is ex-
tremely low. But must stop or the train
will leave me. More anon, if / have leisure.

To the kdsfor Of the Daily Eagle:
In your structures upon my article in the

WICHITA, Oct. %. j. S. PosT.
Mr.. Post, in his communication, made a
fling at the character of Rev. Mr.. Ball, who
is said to be a Baptist minister and whose
character is vouched for. The circular
which Mr.. Post criticises is a careful sum-
mary of evidence touching the scandalous
life of Grover Cleveland, collated by thirty
ministers of many denominations, and who
say, in capital letters: each witness re-
ferred to were personally cognizant of the
facts related by him or her. Moreover, this
investigation has not been solicited, nor in
any way prompted by any political party,
committee or person, but solely in the inter-
est of morals" Mr.. Posts attempt to sit
down on such statement from such a
source provoked our words.-Ed EAGLE.

FOR REPUBLICANS.
WICHITA, Oct. 18th, 1884.

WICHITA, Oct. 18th, 1884.
To the Editor Of the Daily Eagle:
DEAR SIR: Were il not for the fact
that the next Legislature elects a
United States senator, the candidacy
of Mr.. Dorsey for the state senate
would be of minor Importance. In
the senate his vote would count for as
much as that of any other member in
defeating the election of a Republican
to the United States senate, and doubt
less il would be thrown in that way
otherwise-Mr. Dorsey as a member
of the legislature, would be rs clean
chip in pot of soup doing no harm.
and no good.
Under the circumstances, il seems
incredible that Republicans will aid TO
eiert to the state senate. a political
hermaphrodite thereby endangering
the return of MIR. ingalls, TO the United
States senate. Yours, VIGILANTE.

FOR CHIEF JUSTICE.

Judge Campbell, of Wichita, is the Dem
ocratic candidate for chief justice of the SUI
preme court. Campbell is renegade Re-
publican. The party having for years hon
ored him as district judge he sours and
leaves it because the people failed to make
him congressman or L. ). senator and
becomes Il ranting Democratic anti-prohibi-
Zionist and defender of Click. He made q
speech up in the western portion of the
state on the line of the Union Pacific road
in which he said he wanted to see the sale OF
liquors unrestricted and as cheap and album
dant as coal oil. Rev. Dixon, of Rev. Dix
on, of Russell heard Judge Campbell make
this extraordinary statement. What senti-
ments for a man to utter who aspires to the
position of chief justice of the supreme
court. Bill Campbell gives the people his
measure in that one sentence, and it bears
the unmistakable stamp ofthe saloon bum
mer.-Topeka Capital.

DON'T HE KNOW.

The organ across the way seems terribly
frustrated over our incidental remark that in
Kansas ex-rebels have no vote until their
disabilities are removed by the legislature.
Can it be possible that the captain is igno-
rant of the fact that practically all ex-rebels
are members of his party, and are its loudest
defenders And does he not know that the
1853 electoral Democrat votes, so much brag-
ged about as being solid and sure, come
from the states that rcbelled, and that they
represent the ex-rebel vote of the whole
country Does he expect anybody to be
mealy mouthed over fact so notorious,
and but for which Blaine and Logan would
be elected by as great majority as was Lin
coin the second term! Why, even Click
knows that much.

ACOOD DOSE


A prominent citizen received on Monday
by mail, from Geo. w. Curtis, Geo. w.
Green and Geo. w. Folsom, the national
committee of Independents, generally known
as the dude and mugwump combination, a
package of pamphlets devoted to the abuse
of Blaine and Logan and the praise Of Cleve-
land and Hendricks. With these pamphlets
was received blank pledge which the said
citizen was solicited to sign and return to
the mugwump crowd and which reads:
Believing that the interests of good gov
eminent and public morals demand the de-
feat of james g. Blaine and the election of
Grover Cleveland, l desire to enroll myself
with other Republicans and Independents
who are co-operating with the committee
appointed at the conference Of Republicans
ard Independents held at New York, July
%, 1884.
The aforesaid citizen not being politi-
clan, not even a partisan, in fact man
whose name is never heard in connection
with politics, his answer is too good to be
lost. Having heard of the matter inciden-
tally, we solicited his full reply. To this he
would not consent, but the following ex-
tract is sufficient to show the contempt that
all honorable men ought to entertain for
this sycophantic crew:
WICHITA, Kas., Oct. 20, 1884.
To Messrs. Curtis, Green and Folsom, IS Mas
sau St., New York:
DEAR SIRs-The package of pamphlets
and blanks for signature sent TO my address
is at hand. hasten to say in reply that as
a paramount moral issue l regard it as
about the meanest piece of moral cowardice
and hypocrisy Of which have any knowl-
edge. To ask me to support Grover Cleve-
land in the interest OF public morals, is such
an insult to my common sense, and TO my
sense of both private and public decency,
that feel constrained to at once resent it.
In my judgment there is more real man
illness and moral integrity in the two men
you seek to defame, than in the whole set
in the circulars you send to my
address. with Henry Ward, Beecher thrown
in with the self righteous crowd, and must
confess that Blaine and Logan are not up to
my ideal of statesmen and leaders. But il
before the receipt Of your impudent over
lures had hesitated as to their support, ]
can now entertain no doubt as to the duty
Of true citizen to strive to prevent such |
false pretenders as you from elevating q
common libertine to the highest Office in the |
yiff Of the American people
