OFF WRONG.

The Walnut Valley Times is inclined
to flop over and out of its own BALI
wick. II denonnces Hon. II. l.. Walk
or, of this city, delegate to the Nation
al convention, for voting for Arthur.
In The first place Mr. Walker was a
delegate from the Seventh district and
not from the Fourth, and he is in no
way, politically or otherwise, ac-
countablc TO the people of the Fourth
district. In the next place Mr.
Walker, although personally an Ar
thur man, voted first, last and all the
time for Blaine in Difference TO what he
thought the sentiment of the republic
cans of this district to be. Furthe-
more the Times is informed that Mr..
Walker made and headed the move
which carried fourteen Kansas dele
gates TO the Blaine headquarters
pledging their votes before a single
ballot had been taken.
The editor of the Times is invited
to kick somewhere else if he thinks
he can safely do so and without kick
ing of l. is off cial head.

THE STATE COW DOCTOR.

IL is funny. For years Kansas went
along raising hogs, cows and horses
with uniform success which aston
Ished everybody, never dreaming that
sucn terrible diseases rs The d" foot and
mouth" the CHAMBERS, the hydrophobia
or any other fatality would ever find
favorable conditions upon our health
full prairies. But a demand. il seems,
is as sure to create supply as vice
versa. Kansas has now got state
COW doctor, and, of course he must
have something to do, so that his
salary might not go unearned.
The office was only created last win
ter by special session of the lcgisla-
ture, but ever since that time disease
has run wild, rampant. Tie stale COW
doctors appearance in any portion of
the state is the signal for the breaking
out of the most fatal malidie-. He
came down 10 EmpOria last week and
the next day the papers of that city
announced that cattle were dying i'm
Center township, of Lyon county,
of hydrophobia. He came on down
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 toncli-
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 ia the cas-.
tern part of our county. We had
hoped further that Governor Click
might summon home before the thing
should become general, but there was
no such good luck, and yesterday
morning we discovered our own mare
coughing at terrible rate and dis
charging at the nose. The next thing
in the regular order viii be, We sup
pose. Sheriff Fisher and shot gun af-
ter which we will be compelled to foot
it home or dead-head the street rail-
way company.
A state COW doctor is a mighty big
thing. we suppose, but we somehow
wish our horses, cows and pigs had
been saved the terrible ordeal.

A FOOLISH FIGHT.

There is Il stiff tug being made in
certain quarters, and by men from
whom better things might reasonably
be expected, TO force Col. Jno. A
Martin into a false position with
reference to his relations to the Re.
publican party, and touching his con.
viction on the prohibition question
In all his utterances he has been manly
out-spoken and honest, so much so
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 equivocate or double
deal has robbed his enemies of any
chance to misrepresent him ; so they
are daily demanding him to come out
and say something, hoping by con-
tinued reiteration he may make some
slip of the pen which they might catch
up and howl over. Ifin all the files of
the Champion, covering a period of
more than tw enty-five years, nothing
can be found about which rumpus
can be raised, we suggest that the
effort to force him to say some
thing which would not hurt
his chances for the govern
orship be given over, and, in view of
the fact that about every county
which has held a convention has in
structed for Mr.. Martin for governor.
We further suggest that the tact les
adopted by another class to "damn
with faint praise ''be given up. All
this, we suggest, in the interest of the
fellows who are going to get left, for
as sure as anything Martins campaign,
like that of Blaine's, has been run by the
people, in the face and in spite of the
plans of the politicians, and it must
therefore come out on top.

HIS HQQES AND HORNS.


The Topeka Capital. the most con-
sistent prohibition paper in the state,
paper which has never faliered in
giving expression TO its own and the
convictions of the trucst temperance
men of the state, In its issue of yester-
day reads S. John n double-leaded les
son. That it will effect st. John we
do not believe. Among many other
things the Capital says:
1t is particularly unfortunate for
him that at this time when the party
in his own state is the recognized
champion of prohibition he should
fOrsake the party because tho national
convention failed to place prohibi-
ton plank in the platform. 1t was not
expected by any considerable number
of prOhibitionists that the party
would take this step at this time. Ii
would have been suicidal to the party
and TO prohibition. Had the Repub.
lican party placed an abolition plank
in the platform Of 1860, Lincoln would
not in all human probability have
been elected. 1t is no compromise of
principle, no lack of loyalty to the
cause of temperance, that the party
moved only rs fast upon that question
as the people demanded

ELIMINATES.

Sol. Miller, the venerable editor OF
the Kansas Chief, who has for ten
or a dozen years advocated the nomi-
nation of James &. Blaine, was well
nigh carried off his feet when the mat
ter was finally adjusted to his satisfac-
ton. They say Blaine and Sol. re-
semble each other. Come to think OF
it, we guess they do somewhat. How
ever, Sol. is one of your moral and
political reformers, kind of a Boston
Independent dude when il comes to
standing by the men and factors of the
old ma chine, st, tc or national, but this
nomination of the great commoner
upset all his assumed dignity. The

Or. e. 3. ALIENS CANDIDACY

DR.. +. b. Allen's friends i'm this Sec
lion of the state hear with great
pleasure the cordially with which his
candidacy for secretary of state is be-
ing met with everywhere throughout
the community. The days of the
+" hurrah boy" in Kansas politics are
about numbered, and, it is well. Solid
men of sterling worth, dignity and
ability in the personel of the state
ticket this fall will 90 further towards
hitting and holding the different eie-
ments of the party to one COM
pact harmonious marching col
umn than any degree or amount
of froth, fury and sound.
There are class of men, large in
number aud influential, who have
heretofore held to the tenents of Re-
publican faith in this state, but who
have grown tired of the mere mediocre
ever being thrown to the surface by
some happy-go-lucky event or politi-
cal effervescence begotten of surface
hurrah.
The republican delegates to the
state convention should not forget
that in conforming to the will of the
people by placing Col. John A. Martin
at The head of the ticket they still can
very easily destroy the moral power
Of the ticket and dampen the ardor of
the entire campaign by placing candi-
dates Oh the ticket such as cannot
command the solid vote of all the ele-
ments of the party. There are an
other class of Republicans not so
large in number as the first, who be-
lieve that the only way to discipline
the party and bring it ON TO higher
grounds, is to take adyan-
tage of such weaknesses as
we have mentioned and TO defeat
the organization.
This is a year when more than ordi-
nary care should be exercised in the
selection of a ticket. We want tick
ct whose make up shall be above criti
cism. AS to the above propositions
we know large majority OF the think
ing men of the party will agree.
As to DIR. Z. b. Allen and his candi-
dacy while it has been only in the
slightest degree of his own seeking,
and while his friends have gone to no
extremes it is nevertheless an earnest
offering. He is a man who would
lend weight and dignity TO the ticket,
4 man whose sincerity of character,
sound convictions and unblemished
record would command the respect of
every possible element of the party.
Where he is best known there 10 he
the strongest, consequently this sec
lion will go up to Topeka urging his
not so much from local
as from his eminent fit
ness for the place.

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
New York have never amounted 10
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 nglish organ
of free trade.

GL0AIS TOO.

The average Democratic sheet is
now painfully crowded with deroga-
tory matter and dire prophecies of the
national Republican ticket They gloat
and then quote each other aud gloat.
Our Democratic neighbor, the Beacon,
this week catches up the refrain and
rates and berates from editorial leader
to the last local item. We had some
how come u believe that its
editor was made of different
stuff from the common run
of Bourbon writers, that he
was inclined TO view the shortcomings
of society and the mistakes of govern
ment in all their relations. and environ
ments, from philosophical stand
point, to weigh, as it were, in even
balances the good of all and then only
TO praise the right. At any rate we
would never be persuaded to view
him in the light of ring claquer and
party touter. But alas we have only
to refer to his issue this week TO make
plain how painfully we have been mis-
taken. lie even dcscends to quoting
dudes and nobodies, TO reproducing
the sentiments and declarations of pa
pers which have for twenty years did
little else than fight the Republican
party openly or stab il In the back.
Well, in a week or so, great legion
of unwashed itchers will assemble at
Chicago, dudes and buffers, hungry
howlers and starving strikers, sore
heads and sourmashers, all animated
by the one single, lingering, longing
wish, an Office, and there in
their strife to capture some
man with barrel who will
blunder into something, heaven
only knows what, aud on to a ticket,
heaven only knows who. When that
time comes, dear captain, and it won't
be long, there will be something with
which Democratic papers will be COM
peeled to fill up their columns, and il
won't be quoted abuse of Jim Blaine
or John Logan either, or we miss our
guess.
Just wait,

JOHN P. ST. ,oHs.

For man of his calibre John p. st.
John has caused the Republicans of
Kansas much trouble since he came
over the Missouri border and settled
at Olathe. But despite all the trouble
he has managed TO elevate his own
name and fortunes. While he has n ev-
er for moment lost sight of these. he
has with equal vigilance hung TO the
Republican party which has been the
stepping stone to his ambitions, and
from which he neither could be forced
or coaxed until its members refused to
elect him governor for fhc
third time. After that he took menac-
ing stand, still, which was more peu-
trial than independent, refusing to say
what he would or would not do until
he could more clearly define the di-
rection the cat would jump. If it
scratched out in his direction, he evil
IDENTIFY intended to catch and hold it
with the same heroism that the Roman
boy held on to the fox; but, if the
convention at Chicago failed to dis
cover John Peter st. John and duly
recognize his opinions, then he would
without mercy, deliver over
the government into the hands of its
ancient enemies by Gripping the par
ty which had made it possible for such
as he to be counted great. The result
is known, and this small demagogue
has now gone east to enter into con-
spiracy to defeat Republican princi-
Piles and to destroy the the party that
has fed him, and his son, and his rela-
tons, for 10, these years gone to hob
mob for the honors and leadership of a
party which would never have been
q recognized force but for the convic-
tons of members within the Republi-
can ranks.
Let him go.
AS he left the Kansas City depot
last Saturday evening-to travel all
day Sunday-for the east he said TO
those gathered about him that he was
not opposed to Blaine and Logan,
but that he couldn't support their
platform. AS that platform is proba-
bly, the cleanest and best platform of
principles ever adopted by the
party, as an embodiment OF
living principles rivaling the
emancipation proclamation and the
declaration OF independence, the value
and meaning of his assertion will be
readily understood. lie may be high
er, purer, better than these principles,
but we don't believe he will succeed
in making any great number of Kan
sas people believe it, Notwithstanding
the caution and cunning he has en-
ployed 10 lead those who believe in
prohibition TO point from which they
would be compelled to follow him.
He said further i'm the interview al
luded TO that he would make the Re-
publican party sweat, or words
TO that effect; that $4,000
voters in Ohio alone had been insulted,
that the platform adopted at Chicago
is mere clap-trap and that the Repub-
licans largely of Kansas, Maine, Iowa,
New York and Ohio would repudiate
it.
ST. John believes there is no Repub-
lican party outside of the Prohibition
party and that there is no Prohibition
party outside of ST. John.
We snail see.

The Atlanta constitution, the mos,

The Atlanta Constitution, the most
ably edited and influential Democratic
paper in the South, expresses the opin-
ion that unless Tilden can accept the
Democratic nomination Mr.. Blaine will
surely be the next President, in which
event it believes the administration
will be wise and liberal. II SAYS
"Hc is the ablest and most experienced
public man to be found in the Repub-
lican party, and if the country is to
have another four years of Republi-
canism, We believe Mr.. Blaine's admin
istration will give more general salts
faction than that of any other Repub-
lican. He will at least fly the Ameri-
can flag over the White House ana
State Department, and there will be
some consolation in that"
