THE GOLDEN CLUB.

Judge Kelley, of Pennsylvania, who

people have contracted for fight that

such circumstances the Republican
party invariably polls the largest vote,
In 1876. when we had "A candidate for

continued Judge Kelley, and that is
that the nominations have unmasked
the supreme hypocrite of journalism,

A FOOLISH FIGHT.

whom better things might reasonably
be expected, TO force Col. ,Ino. \.

In all his utterances he has been manly.

that no room has been left for mis-
understanding upon the part of any
one. And that is Just where the
trouble comes in. His persistent re-
fusal TO equiyocate or double

THE STATE COW DOCTOR.

Ii is funny. For years Kansas went
along raising hogs, cows and horses
with uniform success which aston
lshed everybody, never dreaming that
sucn terrible diseases as the " foot and
mouth" the CHAMBERS, the hydrophobia
or any other fatality would ever find
favorable conditions upon our health
full prairies. But a demand, ii seems,
is as sure TO create supply as vice
versa. Kansas has now got a state
COW doctor, and, of course he must
have something to do, SO that his
salary might not go uneara1d.
The office was only created last win
ter by special session Of the lcgisla-
turc, but ever since that time disease
has run wild, rampant. The state COW
doctors appearance in any portion OF
the state is the signal for the breaking
out of the most fatal malidies. He
came down TO Emporia last week and
the next day the papers of that city
announced that cattle were dying in

the main line and at every point where
he stopped the horrifying news
of fresh cases arose. We had hoped
that he might return without touch.
lining this section, but the hope was in
vain, and in Sundays issue of the
EAGLE our readers were told that
Sheriff Fisher had been ordered to
shoot the horses of farmers in the cas-
tern part of our county. We had
hoped further that Governor GlicL
might summon home before the thing
should become general, but there was
no such good luck, and yesterday
morning we discovered our own mar,

charging ut the nose. The next thin.

THE NEW YORK PAPERS.

The Democrats are dwelling at
great length upon the detection among
the New York papers touching the
nomination of Blaine. The truth is
the so-called Republican papers of
much when measured by results of
late years. Their wonderful work
has resulted usually in about 10000
Democratic majority. If their flop
ping should work the same trouble TO
the Democratic party Republicans
shouldn't grumble. SO far rs the
Times is concerned il has never been
but little else than an English organ

POLITICAL DUDES.

"The so-called Massachusetts, Re-
form Club" which is reported as
shocked at the nomination Of Mr..
Chawles Frauncis Adams, jr., and
about one hundred other political
dudes, who look down with supreme
contempt, from the isolation of their
aristocratic height, on all men who,
like Blaine, have taught school. edited
newspapers, and done other common
work, with the common people of the
land. All the political dudes of this
order, who part their hair in the mid
die, affect English manners and
clothes, sneer at and depreciate their
own country and ifs institutions, and
regard working people with ill-con-
cealed disgust, are against Blaine

THE PACIFIC PAPERS.

San Francisco Call: Mr.. Blaine :
nomination is relief to the people OF
the Pacific coast. If il should happen
that the time has arrived for the Dem.
ocrats TO take their turn at the control
of the government. the coast ha,
nothing to fear in regard to its most
vital issue. That party is pledged to
Chinese restriction, and has shown It's
purpose 10 redeem its promise. There
was danger TO this coast if the Repub-
licans had nominated any candidate
but Blaine. All are practically oppos-
ed To the legislation which lifted the
Chinese incubus from the people oil
this state. But Il republican success
with Blaine rs the candidate will not
cause any apprehension that our pres
ent anti-Chinese policy is to be re-
vcrscd. The convention has done
well in placing before the people the
mon the people clearly want.
Portland Oregonian: When great
men find themselves in the midst of
their greatest responsibilities, they al
ways develop their greatest wisdom.
This is automatically true and this is
what will take Mr.. Blaine out of and
above the faults we have tounl N
him. This is the hopo, at least, and
our belief. The men who look for an
overturning, jingo policy. as some of
Mr.. Blaine's acts in the past would
seem to indicate. will find themselves
sadly disappointed, most likely. The

most reckless man in charges is always

Sacramento Record-U MON No
nomination by any party since the
DAYS DAYS of Lincoln has been re-
ceived with greater and more signili-
cant enthusiasm than that of james
G.. Blaine by the Republican conven-
ton at Chicago. The magnetism
which accompanies the proclamation
of his name as the standard bearer of
the National Republican party must
be taken rs indicative of the splendid
sweep which his campaign will make
of the entire country. and bear him
triamphantlv into the char of the
Chief Magistracy of the United States.
His nomination is emphaiically a re-
spouse on the part of the convention
to the demand of the people of the
Union-a demand that bears witness
10 the just judgment of the people
when their deep convictions as to the
right bestowal of honors and rewards
can find uttorance.
