The candidates chosen, General Clinton
Is. Fisk and John A. Brooks, are represen-
tative men, and it is evident that they will
poll larger vote than the Prohibitionists
have ever been able to muster before.
From the Philadelphia Times. Indl
The politicians who assume that the
nomination of General Clinton B. Fisk
for President by the Prohibitionistsi is not
to be counted as factor in the national
battle of 1883 greatly underestimate the
man and his cause. The large increase
OF the Prohibition vote in 1884, and its
defeat of Blaine in New York, should
teach political leaders that the same cause
with the strongest candidate it has ever
presented is certain to play an important
part in the contest of 1888.
from the Brooklyn Times. Rep.]
We do not propose, now or hereafter, to
say anything in disparagement of Gen.
Fisk. He is brave soldier, good citi-
zen and o good man.
from tho New York Evening World, Dem1
The Prohibitionists have taken General
Clinton B. Fisk as their Presidential can
didate. Well, they have chosen soldier
and an upright, honorable man. But he
will not be elected

fortune being that he left the Republican

From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, Rep.
AS Fisk is an orator on all occasions,
and Brooks can talk four hours day for
weeks without rest, the Prohibition
campaign will not lack eloquence.

We call attention of our citizen to
the fact that the Salina. Lincoln &
Western railway will soon be here.
1t seems fore-gone conclusion that
the Rock Island people do not pro-
pose to put division station at Col

will build in this part of the State.
and thai is rather detriment than an
advantage to Z city. Of course. were
machine and repair shops established.
the Importance OF securing their loca-
ton is apparent 10 any place, but.
such works will not be established by
the G., K. & " railway any where in
western Kansas. Colby is just the
light distance FOR both passenger and
freight division of the S., L. 4 W.
railway, and by judicious work at
this time. the location of these
divisions might be secured. By all
means, steps should be taken, and at
once. to secure such desirable DO
sition on this railway. 1t is impor-
tant to the interests of our city that
this matter should be attended to.
The Rock Island got everything it
asked for in Colby-and in return will
give US cheap freights, rapid and easy
passage, but nothing else. The L. p.
Ry. has given us one railroad, and is
building another. which has AN equal
Importance with any through trunk
line For this. It has asked and re-
ceived nothing except the right-of-
way through the city, purchasing all
needed ground on either side of its
track in the city. For the Rock Island
the city has incurred debt of S10.-
OO0. land it was well worth the price)
TO secure the road, but, for the L. p.
or its branch the s.. L. & W.. the
city has incurred not one cent of
obligation. The latter road will be of
just the same advantage to US as the
former. Colby can and ought to be
an important division on the s.. l.. &
W. Ry. Other ambitious cities to the
east and west of us are reaching out
to grasp the situation, while we SEEM
to rest supinely on our backs, trust
ing, that the plum will fall into our
lap without effort. It will not do SO.
If Colby proposes to be anything more
than she now is, it viii only come
