THOUGHTS FOR FARMERS,

Mr.. .Editor:-After reading your val
liable paper on the pros and cons of the
nominees now before the peoples of this
district to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of our honorable Mr.. Has
kell, and also the Fort Scott Banner
items with Gov. Clicks proclamation,
it is plain to be seen that the old
bloody shirt is again to be waved over
this district in defiance of God, man
and the devil. That precious good
Governor of Democracy, heralded by
the Banner and other Democratic
sheets, as being the retrencher of gov
ernment expenses, shows it most beau
tifully i'm the proclamation by setting
the eli ction for March instead of at our
last annual election, where there was
ample time, ,and thus saving the district
a large amount of money, and farther
by setting that election on "A day when
he thought there could be many votes
lost to the nominee of the opposite
party by taking their Sabbath. 1t is

awaken the voters to a true sense of
their duty to keep that flag floating in
the breeze that 50 valiautly preserved
the grandest government i'll the known
world; whilst the. opposite party gave
their strength, their money and all to
have it trailed in the dust, and now
ask us to give the reins of our govern
ment into their hands that they may
again have one more chance to accom-
plish what they undertook at the OH
set of the most bloody rebellion in the
history of the known world. See the
action of their representatives in Con-
gress when the measure or bill was to

their bloody work i'm Virginia in Co
pia and those districts in last falls
electiol,s; not one vote did they give
for il, but went in a solid body against
the bill; and now these bloody sheets
are asking the loyal citizens of this
district to send another representative
of the same click to Congress. Will
YOU do it, fellow citizens of this second
Congressional district of Kansas? viii
YOU give them control of the best and

REPUBLICAN PROSPECTS.
Senator Edmunds' Views-A Compression
Committee Appointed.

Senator Edmunds' Views-A Congressional
Committee Appointed
WASHINGTON, Jan. ia joint Re-
publican caucus of Senators and Repre-
sentatives was held in the hall of Repre-
sentatives last night to appoint Con
gressional committee. More than 1875
members of Congress were present. Sen
ator Edmunds, of Vermont, presided, and
Representative Miller, of Pennsylvania,
acted as secretary. In taking the CHAIR,
Senator Edmunds said that the outlook
for the Republican party in 1884 was, al
this carly period in the campaign, better
than at any time in the past fifteen years.
There was every reason to believe that
the party would be successful if it only
exercised wisdom in selecting candidates.
The following resolutions were offered
by Senator Hoar;
Res0lced, That it is the sense of this
meeting that a Republican Con gressional
committee be Immediately organized,
consisting of one member from each State
and Territory having Republican repre-
sentaiives, for the preparation and circu
lation Of documents concerning the sub
jects pending in Congress and other pc
litical information, and for the execution
Of such other campaign work as may be
agreed upon by that committee and thu
Republican Nat ional Committee.
Rcsolued, That we express our sympa-
thy and will extend our co operation il
all practicable ways to all Southern Re
publicans who are struggling to exercise
the vital and fundamental right of free
suffrage in popular elections; and no less
do we pledge our friendship and assist
ance to all citizens of the Southern State:
who have not been Republicans, but art
manfully contending against the pro
scriptiOn or murder of voters, and in ia
vor Of freedom in politics, honest politi
| cal methods and public education for thu
| whole people and we recommend thu
| prompt and cordial union of free Repub
iicans with all such patriotic citizens il
combined efforts to redeem their States
from the fatal domination of false idea
and dishonoring practices.
The resolutions were warmly ap
plauded by the caucus when read, anC
after being favorably commented upon b,
Senators Hoar, Logan, Hawley, and Rep
resentatives Hiscock and Mayo, the,
were unanimously adopted.
