all the groups. What Samoa requires,
we think, is to be held under a firm pro-
tectorate. She seems incapable OF indie
pendence. Some leading power must
lay strong hand on her, and see to it
that she is we'll governed. This power
needs to be one which the natives regard
as in sympathy with them. Germany
has shown herself Indifferent to the
rights and feelings of Samoans, and is
probably looked upon as an enemy, by
majority of them. The possession Of
foreign dependencies is contrary to the
traditional policy of the United States,
and the government of that country has
heretofore refused opportunities for ac-
quiring power in the South Pacific, when
the same were fairly thrust upon it. In
view of all the facts of the case, Great
Britain would seem to be Samoa's
natural protector. Political complica-
tons and rivalries may forbid her to as
sumo that position. But we see little
prospect of any other road to peace and
order being found for Samoa. Aside
from q natural interest in tribe kindred
to Hawaiians, we do not know that the
future of Samoa is likely in any way to
affect our own.

WANTED, ANOTHER HAYESl

Mr.. John Jay Ingalls, is always saying
something. His last was a letter to a
member of the Kansas delegation in
the Chicago convention. The delegate
appears TO have been wanting light,
and Mr.. Ingalls, unhesitatingly shed
his effulgence on the question. Here is
his letter.
"FtCE-PREsIDENT's CHAMBER.
Washington, June 10. I
Yours of the 18th at hand. 1t does
not make much difference who is NOM
mated, in my judgment. The candi-
date will cut but a small figure i'm the
nght. We can elect anybody or we
shall fail. The least conspicuous and
therefore the least compromised man
VIII be the best-somebody like HAYES
in 1876.
Among all tho men named there is
not one leader no one whose personal
or historical relations to the peoDle
would make difference of ] 900 votes
in the canvass. Sherman, Allison.
Harrison, etc, have records that would
be awkward on the tariff, the currency,
The Chinese question, etc. Depew's
connection with railroads and corpora
tlOns would be heavy load especially
In the agricultural states. We might
as well nominate Gould or Vanderbilt
at once.
My impression is that Mr.. Gresham
comes nearer filling the hill than any of
the Others, with some fellow like Phelps.
OF New Jersey, who could reach the
conservative forces of the east and get
contributions from the manufacturers
and Wall street. But you can Judge
much better than l what is the best
after consulting with the delegates.
Lhaye the use of the wires during
the convention, by the courtesy of the
company. and you can therefore tele-
graph me fully at all times if anything
Of interest transpires.
Truly yours,

Albert Griffin was the first delegate
at-large to Chicago elected by the re-
publican convention Of Kansas. lie

to organize party of their own if Al

Chicago, offered his prohibition plank
to the convention, worked for its inser-

then it was rejected and thrown among
the rubbish of the temple, as it were.
Albert and his crowd say that this
stone, which the builders rejected, is 10

iice that they will erect, and it does APP

BILL HACKNEY'S PLATFORM

The Globe-Democrat published, last
week, speech made by the Hon. w. p.
Hackney, of Winfield, at the Chicago
convention, to lot of Tennesseeans
who were visiting the Kansas head
quarters. He said:
Il am for Blaine and war. Let us
wipe out the solid south by electing
Blaine and drenching Canada with
blood. Let Kansas and Tennessee
march against the Canucks shoulder to
shoulder with Bill Sherman and Joe
Johnson, two of the noblest soldiers
who ever stood beneath any flag as our
leaders. Let us take up the cry of
Blaine and war and d-n the pismire
who lacks the nerve to come out for
Blaine. They said it wouldn't be pol
icy, and that his record was bad. To
HI with policy and records. Blaine.
war and victoryl Take the white men
out of Texas TO fight Canucks, and let
the id niger vote tor whoever he
pleases. The Kansas delegates are now
holding star chamber meeting, with
an outside and inside guard. They are
set of id fools. and don't know what
they want, but if they don't vote for
Blaine they had better not come back
to Kansas. If Blaine is nominated I'll
be received at Winfield by the brass
band. If they nominate any of the
chucKleheads who are delaying the
work of this convention I'll get off at
the whistling post and walk home
across lots and up alleys. You Ten
nessee fellows must help us. I've been
all through your state and stole horses
in every county in it for the govern
ment at the munifcent compensation
of SIC per month. Don't waste your
votes on wooden men, but vote for
Blaine and war with Canada, Hurrah
for Blaine, war, Kansas and prohibition
and let's all go and get another drink. .

Here is wall from Sol. Miller's Troy
Chief, staunch republican journal
published at Troy, Kansas: "To sum
up the situation, the withdrawal of
Blaine has demoralized the republican
forces just at the critical time. All the
percentages are in favor of the re-elec-
ton of Cleveland, and if he fails, it will
be through an unusual amount of
laundering by his party. If Cleveland
is reelected, he will carry with him a
majority in the house and gain enough
to make the senate democratic. Then
the democratic party will have full
sway. Texas will be divided into sew
eral states and democratic territories
will be admitted; the results of republic
can rule will be wiped out as fast as
possible and the country will be set
back TO the status OF 1850. Democracy
Will be established in power for a series
OF years and the republican party will
be numbered with the things that were.
This will be the result of a democratic
victory the coming fall, and all signs
point to that end"
