arc SO used to wincing under their own
CALLING that they naturally think that every
body else must be suffering also.
The truth is the Democratic party is a
party of bosses. Jackson IS their patron
saint and he was an ideal boss in every
public relation of his life. Name us any
state or any city in this country where the
Democratic party is dominant and we will
name state or city which is ruled by
"bossism" in its most offensive and dan
gerous form, we don't care whether it's a
Tammany in New York or the mere po-
litical cliques and rings ofa South Carolina
or Mississippi. What the one is and has
been costing New York for years and what
others have cost the south we need not tell
Republicans, for they know, and it is use
less to tell Democrats for they won't heed,
bat the high handel corruption upon the
one hand and the blasting effects of in
trigue upon the others are disputed and de-
MED only by the Democratic party them
selves, who no doubt would deny that the
work of last Saturday in this city had all
been practically prearranged.

Party OF BOSSES.

Our readers could hardly have failed no
ticing the cut and dried atmosphere which
laid SO heavily on the Sedgwick county
Democratic convention last Saturday.
In the principal convention there was not
a single contest that could be called such.
Everything was showed through as per pro-
gram on schedule time The candidates
having all been previously determined up
on by the bosses. each as his place was al
nounced, was trotted out and trotted
through unanimously by acclamation and
in great shape Such harmony could only
come Of the cooked work of bosses. If the
candidates were angels they would be re
pudiated by the Republican party. If 50
foisted into their campaign. In reading
over the report of the doings of that con-
vention we find its entire proceedings 81
most wholly taken up with little unimport
ant details and useless formalitieS The
real work for which such bodies are so
posed to he called into existence, proved
simply rapid routine endorsement OF
what had all been, very evidently, deter
mined before In making up their central
committee, also the, authority and power
was vested in six or seven men only. What
should have been the committee and which
would have been in some character rep.e-
sentative. was simply ms'ie a tail, or an
auxiliary, 10 be used or not used. As the
bosses might determine was for the best in
terests of the ring. Any man who failed
to see it so needs guardian. Still this is
the party whose organs go on talking about
bossism in the Republican party. They

THE ELECTIONS OF 1856.
From the Commonwealth.


There is every reason 10 believe that tht
Republicans viii carry the elections OF al
the lcaf.ing northern states this Year. Bu

publican majoEities ir Maine. Massachu

Iowa would he so sweeping as to practically
bury the Democratic paty in those s,ates
But with separate prohibition tickets il
the field there Is 10 reason TO doub, that
the Republicans viii garry each Of these
states by large majority The people Of
this country are moi tired OF the existence
of the Republican party. The accident Of
a day caused its defea, on the single issue
Of the presidency in 1884. But the voters
are satisfied with their unfortunate expert
ment and will no: repea; the error in 1888.
OF this fact they will give satisfactory as
surance in the elections of 1886.

WHAT OTHERS SAY.

The Daily Globe of Emporia, in review
ing the work done by the Republican con
ventions in the different parts of the state.
says the following of Sedgwick county:
The Republicans of Sedgwick county,
which now has three members, had the
good sense to select the two for reelection
who represented that county last year, Hon
Rodolph Hatfield and r. Z. Lawrence
The other is A. II. Carpenter, and if we are
not mistaken he is a prominent business
man at Valley Center. Mr.. Hatfield was
one of the ablest speakers in the last house,
and both he and Mr. Lawrence were re-
garded as among the best and most indus
trious members. Mr.. Hatfield is certainly
an orator of which the booming city Of
Wichita may be justly proud. If we are
right in regard to Mr. Carpenter. this Sedg-
wick delegation will be a strong one. We
may predict this, anyhow. because no peo-
pie so full of viIa and git up and go as
those in Sedvick would send any other
than one of their representative men"

The work OF recovering the bodies Of the
victims goes on slowly. The quicksand,

Every man engaged in the attempted res

THE CHEROKEE DEAD LOCK
Caused by Bitter Quarrel Betweei
Bushyhead and the Senate

Caused by Bitter Quarrel Between
Bushyhead and the Senate,
LITTLE Rock, ARK, January IA pri-
vale advice from Tahlequah, Cherokee Ma
ton, says: The National Council of the
Cherokees has adjourned in the midst OF q
bitter quarrel between the Senate and Chief
Bushyhead. 1t appears the Senate desired
to name two delegates whom the Chefo-
KEGS send to Washington every winter, and
that Chief Bushyhead claimed the selec
ton Of these men as his right Heretofore
the Chief has always appointed delegates
with the advice and consent OF the Senate
as provided by the Cherokee constitution.
The Senate, however, disputed the right OF
the Chief in the premises this time, and as
serted that the selection must be made by
itself. The Chief refused to yield, and
bitter struggle followed,
The Senators, after discussing the mat
ter carefully, decided to hold their ground
regardless of consequences. Chief Busby-
head sent in the nominations Of two very
able men, P. n. Blackstone and j. &.
Schrimsher. The latter was after a heat
ed debate, confirmed, and the former re
jected. The Chief immediately nomina-
ted Samuel Smith, o Cherokee Indian, who
was rejected. The nominations OF Adam
Feeling, Adam Lacy and George Down
ing, all prominent Cherokee statesmen:
were rejected one after another.
The Senate then senta committee to the
Chief requesting him 10 name q man Sc,
lectad by that body. Chief Bushyhead
replied that he was exercising constitu'
tional right, aud would not forego it. He
Immediately sent in the names OF Albion
Shears and George Sanders, both OF whom
were rejected. Thoroughly aroused, the
Chef then sent u pointed message TO the
Senate saying he had no further business
for the body to transact and an adjourn
ment followed The deadlock is the talk
