ELECTED GOVERNOR AGAIN.


Before any opportunity bad pre-
scented Itself in which TO be inaug-
ursted on eth r of the frs; lists OF
returns made by our editorial breth-
rem of the southwest, others al
greater distance have exercised their
inalieuable right 10 name chief ex-
ecuiiye, and we have been nominated
and elected ''some more" Ii there
appears less unanimity on the face of
the last batch they are no tissue bal
lots and there remains no chance OF
going behind the returns. As TO the
matter of time, while we shouldn't be
the chooser, s;ill we may be permitted
to suggest that if q good half OF the
people cannot agree upon tie same
year the situation might become en-
barrassing TO their candidate. Still,
reposing. as we DO. nnhcunded con-
fidence ia the wisdom and patriotism
of the nominating power, who have
already expressed themselves, as also
in their loyalty TO their purpose, we
Will continue 10 hold our ambition
within bounds while we quote:
Marsh Murdoch is sumner. A man
that can boom Wichita as be has done, and
stand off Democratic Ego for eleven
months, besides publishing the best paper in
the state, should be called up higher at the
frst opportunity, and We therefore order the
rules i.id aside and nominate him for gov
ernor by acclsmstioD. Oh, Marsh, you
would make daisy race, and the boys
would follow you sooner than sign ''pre-
scription." Get out TIE old blunderbus-,
BOYS, and we will land the red-headed
rustser of the EAGLE in the ''boss chair" of
the state capitol il we are compelled TO put
sand bin in each Of his pockets to hold
him on the scene.-Msrion Register.
The Kingman Courier dominates II. c.
Sluss for congress, to take the place of
Judg, Peters, our present congressman. If
Mr. Sluss will but drop hint that be would
accept there would be boom started for
him which would nearly equal the boom
that will be duly InauGurated for Col. NJ. NJ.
Murdoch two years from next fall, not for
congress by any means, but for-well, every
body knows il is for governor. Judge Sluss
could count on scores Of friends should he
allow himself to become their candidate
for congress.-Valley Center News.
Colonel Marsh Mnrdock is sgain talked of
as Republican candidate for governor.
Well, why not? The colonel has the ability
and would in every respect make an excel
lent governor. Ofcourse, his opportunity
has not Yet arrived, but when the time comes
we are OF the opinion that the state conven-
ton could make no better choice. 1t con-
a al, he
mated by acclamstion and his reelection by
a very large majority is beyond question,
but after Governor Martin has served his
second term the Chronicl3 will cheerfully
acquiesce in the nomination and election of
Governor Murdock.-Osage County ChroD-
icle.
Marsh Murdoch, Of the Wichita EAGLE,
will now be urged more than ever, for the
next Republican governor of Kansas, now
that the administration has put him out of
the Wichita postofiice.-ProtectionE Echo.
1t seems to be very fashionable nova
days, among Kansas newspapers, to bob up
every once in awhile TO nominate Hon.
N. NJ. Murdoch, Of the Wichita EAGLE, for
governor. There are probably none in the
state who think more of the colonel than do
we, vet we frankly and publicly admit that
we do not want him to get or accept the
nomination, not even az the end of Gov
ernor Martins second term. We have an
other of natures nOblemen" in view for
that station, whom we will name at the
proper time, but we think Mr.. Murdoch is
accomplishing more good for Kansas, Sedg-
wick county and Wichita city right where
he is than he could while filling the guber-
material chair. He is the one man IN n
thousand that has struck his forte, and We
hope he will not abandon it for a title that is
no more honorable. However. should the
fates decree that he should be our future
candidate, up goes our hat and a shout, with
all the vigor We may possess, for the success
of our old and much respected employer
Lect Standard.
Marsh Murdoch, of the Wichita EAGLE,
is being mentioned by number Of promi-
nent papers all over the state in connection
with the gove,norship Of Kansas. While
the talk is exceedingly gratifying TO Marsh,
still he docs not at present want the position,
exalted as il may be. Marsh has too big a
scheme on baud at present in the shape OF
''busiling" Kansas City, to think of guber-
material nonors at present. In fact, the peo-
pie of Wichita would not think of sparinC
him until he has knocked the ''stufiin" out
of Kansas CITY, and built city of 10000
inhabitants at the mouth of the Arkansas
river. There is no name shat we would
sooner see Mt the head of state ticket than
nj. NJ. Murdock Kansas is well advised.
but no better than she deserves to be and
she will never reach III. acme of her glory
until Marsh Murdoch is her governor. We
join in with the many others in nominating
Marsh Murdoch for governor in lsss.-Cris-
field Courier
