CRUNriNC CLICK.

The prohibition Governor of Kansas, who
advocates prohibitory laws for the protec-
ton of cattle but ienounces prohibitory
laws for the protection Of men, has of late
been issuing another proclamation calling
upon all good citizens to help the officers in
the enforcement Of this particular prohibi-
tory law which he took solemn oath
should be enforced. This is about the third
proclamation issued on that subject, to say
nothing of an expensive extra session and
n heightened cow doctor that don't know
the foot and mouth disease from Democrat
FULL Of whisky at the head of a torch-light
procession. A good many people have been
wondering why the Governor has shown
such solicitnde for cattle. It's leaked out.
We see il stated that Mr.. Click is interested
in herd of cattle in the Indian territory,
in addition to his Shannon Hill farm. The
Democrats Of Wichita have been making
pretty spectacles Of themselves or else they
don't intend to vote for Click. They have
been denouncing by resolutions the cattle
men Of the Indian Territory, while the head
Of their party, Governor Click, has in turn
been advising them to stand by one prohib-
TORY law and to spit upon another equally
~ binding.

How Can You Do II?


There are a few ex-union soldiers in
Sedgwick county, who, through the infiu-
ence Of Others, or because of an imaginary
grievance touching the law-abiding Repub-
lican party in dealing with violators of the
ProhibitOry law, are going to vote for Click.
At least they say they are. We sometimes
wonder if these ex-union soldiers, who are
loyal to the core, know Clicks copperhead
record upon the one hand, the glorious
record made by John A. Martin when a
mere beardless boy as the colonel and
leader OLA gallant regiment as ever formed
line Of battle. Up to the close ofthe war,
Click was looked upon and held in this
State to be copperhead of the most de-
spiseable type. He had no use for you men
who were making such sacrifices to save
your country.
Capt J. r. johnson in his speech ut Abb
lene, took up the record of Mr.. Click MS
found in the Legislative Journals, and he
gives the dates and pages which prove Click
to have been just what he was always con-
sidered TO be before he became the cham
pion of the personal liberty dodge. When
John A. Martin was at the front on the 18th
day of January, 1868, George w. Click
voted against and opposed resolution of the
Legislature thanking the brave boys of
Kansas for what they were doing. He did
worse than that, he voted and fought reso-
ton of sympathy for the surviving widows
and orphans whose fathers and hus-
bands had fallen in defense of
home and flag. When Col. Ewing, Kan
sas war Democrat, cleaned out the bush
whackers OF the Sni Hills in western Mis-
souri,, and the Kansas Legislature desired to
formally thank him, George w. Click OPP
posed that. When the same Legislature
moved to thank the British anti-slavery So
ciety for their sympathy and support to the
Free State party in Kansas, George w.
Click interposed his copperkead vote.
When Martin F. Conway, Kansas first Rep
resentative in Congress, sold out his party
and virtually went over to the side of the
rebel sympathizers, Click tried by filibus-
tering to defeat a resolution denouncing
Conway's recreancy. Click hated Union
soldiers and voted to keep on the table
resolution asking the promotion of his pres
cnt adutant general. Afterwards in 1865
he protested against law which contem-
plated enrolling every man in the State in
the militia to protect Kansas against the
gangs of Quantrell and Marmaduke and old
Price. He went SO far as to write out
long copperhead protest, which is inscribed
on the journals, and in which among other
things he sa id that the bill enrolled negroes
and that he believed that it was degrading
to white man.
A. we commenced so we end: How can
loyal ex-Union soldier vote for George W.
Click?
If associating with negroes is degrading,
how does Mr.. Click get along with broth
er State officer who is negro, and who got
more votes than Click himself from the pee
pie of Kansas?

Democrats do not write histories or poems,
paint pictures or edit newspapers. Slavery
and treason palsied the hand, ruined the
brain, rotted the conscience. They cannot
form probable opinion of any future pol
itical event. They are more likely to nom-
mate weak man than strong one in ma
tional convention. Witness Greeley, Nc
Clellan. Hancock and Cleveland-names
that, party candidates, the most retentive
memory can only recall with n painful eff
fort. Their leading papers are edited by
renegade Republicans. who cannot lead any
body, including themselves. 1t is as if the
British had made Benedict Arnold their
commander-in-chief-t bride for treason
still burning in his pocket.-Web Wilder.

that railroads have no right to charge car
mileage over and above any regular rate.

Which would justify them in ordering such

Supervisors From different Politi-
cal Parties"

Chicago. Oct. 9.-Chief Super
visor Sherman, Of this district, III
making up his list of supervisors
of elections to serve Nov, Al, chose
in the Second Congressional Dis
trict one Republican and one In
dependent Democrat, or Finerty
man, for each voting precinct.
An appeal from this action was
taken on behalf of the Democratic
party to-day before Judge Blodgett,
fthe Federal court. The Judge
quoted the law which provides
that the two supervisors for each
polling place shall be of different
political party" and held that the
plain inference was they should
be of the leading political parties
He therefore said that the lists Of
supervisors must be made exclu,
siyely from Republicans and Dem.
ocrats.

KING AS A TAXPAYER.

Gen. King has been exhibiting a
poll-tax receipt as evidence Of his
being a taxpayer, which is small
margin to pose on, but it appears
to satisfy him. His record in
Madison Parish is not as good as 1t
might be. He has been on tho tax
list in this parish since 1880 for
personal property. He paid his
taxes in 1882 the great high-water
year, but his taxes for 1880, 1881
and 1858 are unpaid. What kind
of an example is this to set?
