Delegate Robertson did himself proud
on his Penitentiary bill, but 1t was no go.
DR.. Rusmisel, Of Barbour county, was

accident to member Of his family.
DR.. McClung, of Greenbrier county, who
was called home last week by sickness in
his family, returned to the House yester-
day.
The galleries are still well filled daily
with spectators, but the lady visitors on
the floor are not so numerous as usual.
One bevy OF fair young ladies were in the
House little while yesterday forenoon.
Several matters which were expected to
provoke considerable discussion notably
the Scott Insane Asylum bill and the
Blair bill joint resolutions-were passed
over in each House without o word Of de-
bate.
Mr.. Dean caught the peculiar wording
Of the title Of House Bill % In time TO pre-.

Bill prohibiting the use OF Ferrets in

The resolution to investigate Senator
Floyd's right to his seat in the Senate was
predicated on the idea that he has re-

still has a legal residence in Logan county
and nowhere else; has always exercised
the rights ofa citizen there, and not else
where, and Is regarded by himself and his |
constituents as residentof Logan county.
Senator Morris achieved quite a victory
yesterday in securing the reconsideration
and passage OF his bill to make an appro-
priation for the Glenville Normal School
building. He stated the claims Of that
on the State very strongly.
The building now used is an old frame,
and never cost the State cent. The
school is in region which needs II badly,
and fosters 1t generously, and the institu.
ton Is credit TO the State. These facts
were well and eloquently stated by Mr..
Morris, and had the desired effect.

REPUBLICAN TICKET.
The COUNTY CONTEST.

We hope that Republicans who
have been inclined TO shake their
heads Of late will give the returns
from Ohio little study. In that state
the Republicans had al! the odds
against them with Cleveland and his
patronage upon The one side and tae
Prohibitionists on the other, all
clamoring for the death of the party
which had saved all that there was
worth saving. But the Ohio Repub-
ficans went INTO the contest with
brave hearts AMI determination that
Ohio should not be permitted TO send
up another Standard Oil man TO the
United States Senate 10 back up
Cleveland in his cndeavors TO send
off all the rebel brigadiers in The
country as representatives, of the
United States in foreign courts. The
administration party and its papers
were very asssiduous in patting the
prohibitionists on the back, telling
them TO stand by principle, aud Sc
may they in Kansas this fall, but lei
every Sedgwick county Republican
stand by his principles, his nominees
and his party, and the Democrats OF
Sedgwick county in November will
not know that they had ticket in Tho

There will not, we ap, rehend, he as
exciting a campaign this fall as Is us
ually the case in Sedgwick county
politics. The time is short. and un-
less some unforeseen difficulty looms
up it will be a comparatively quiet
campaign. The Republicans have
placed in nomination a ticket that
could hardly be excelied ana one in
which everv Republican can consist
entity vote from top TO bottom. we
have yet TO hear the first voter, claim
ing himself to belong TO The Republl-
can party who has declared his inten-
ton TO bolt single name on the
ticket. We predict that when the
ballots are counted next November our
Democratic friends will realize that
the old Republican party is still
in the saddle in Sedgwick county.
Through Misunderstanding, and pet
tv iealousies, some breaks have here
tofore occurred in the party, which
resulted in the election of Democrat
ic county attorney and sheriff. We
have succeeded in restoring to the
party the Office of county attorney
and this fall is the time to replace a
Republican in charge of the sherif's
Office. This being a Republican coun-
ty the party is responsible for its az
fairs and il will not do for us 10 let an
opportunity or two squeeze into some
ofihe most responsible places through
our negligence. We have the votes
and this fall we have the ticket: now

casts his one old, straight time honor

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
Yesterday brought a short lived
nortber, which gave an exceedingly
wintry appearance 10 everything out
side, aud even indoors. in the stores
and hotels, ii was necessary 10 have
brisk fires to keep half way comforta-
bic. In consequence of the sudden
change al this season of the year, near
ly everyone who could buy, borrow,
or wear their last years oyercoats,
embraced the opportunity TO do so.
Even the fat msn, who pridcd himself
on his ability to resist the penetrating
zephers sent down 10 us from the
north, and with less weight of cloth
ing than his thinner brother required,
changed his mind before the day was
through with him aud took down his
last years Benjamin with an affection
ate regard for its usefulness and sur
prising disregard for its appearance.
1t will not do TO say
that it is dull here, but then Wei
lington, Winfield, and many other
good towns are afflicted in the same
manner about this time OF writing. SO
it will be excused when we say that

holders, the consolidated mortgage bond
holders ofthe compsny's trust certificates, ard
general stockholders have agreed upon q
base of settlement, which will be perfected
in about two weeks time. After that, in ac-
