PERSONAL AND POLITICAL.

Hendricks says he would like to die
when Tilden does. It Is too late for
that now. Thomas should have spoken
Of this before.
We are glad to note that Judge
Thacher has fallen in with the sugges
ton ofTHE NEWS, to make It unanimous
for Martin.
We have never been very much "stuck"
on Rev. A. B. Campbell. but his letter |
shows q mighty sight more generosity |
and discretion than that of Judge
ThachSr.
The Republicans of Sheridan county
elected G. w. Crane delegate to the
state convention. and Cove county John
Morgan. Both counties instructed tor
Col. John A. Martin.
The Syracuse Standard says it is
rare day In June when some prodIgal
Republicanpaper does not return from
a brief sojourn with husks and swine.
LeavenwoFth Standard: Judge Thach-
er retires from the race for governor and
says that John Martin and Blame are
good enough prOhibitionists for him.
The LeavenwOrth Standard Demo
cratic) fears Col. Martin will be more
harmful to the anti prohibitionists than
Thacher would have been; and We
should not wonder if the Standard is
about right.
Col. Ike Gray, the Democratic nomi-

Ohio man, but he lives SO close to the
, line that his hired girl can hang on his
Indiana gate and flirt with her beau in
Ohio.
1t is fact that General Logan was a
thorough Democrat before the Demo
cratic rebellion, but he was baptized in
fire and blood IN the union cause, and is
as vigorous q Republican today as if he
had been born in the party in 1856.
1t is believed that John A. Martin
will do the handsome thing BY Eskridge
when he gets to be governor. The Col
/ cannot be insensible to the great service
which the Emporia Republican has done
{ him by its advocacy of Thacher.
