THE ticket for both parties are now
complete-no changes will IN all
probability be made in the Demo
Peoples ticket and the voters will be
called upon Tuesday to choose from
the lists made their officers for the en- su
ing two years. The candidates on the
opposition ticket, so far as our ac-
quaintance goes, are gentlemen worthy
of the office to which they aspire, but
no Republican should discard any can
didate on his ticket, except, perhaps,
for purely personal reasons. Due con-
sIderatlon should precede the scratch
ing of the names of any ca ndidate on
the Republican ticket. Our caucuses
and convention were harmonious
throughout, and we fail to see any
reasonable or just cause for lndiffer-
ence among the Republican voters
this fall. The ticket is made up of
representative men, all capable of
filling the offices to which they aspire.
The future success of the party in Sully
county depends largely upon voters at
this election.

A GREAT INJUSTICE.

There is pending before congress a
bill appropriating forty thousand dollars
for the purpose of further prosecuting
the investigation of claims against the
government arising from Indian depre-
dations upon the frontier. Claims ag-
gregating something like fifteen millions
dollars have accrued, and most of them
have been passed upon by the proper
tribunal. and a large portion of them
allowed, but from some inscrutable
cause payment has been withheld from
the claimants. The pending bill before
the house is TO provide for the further
investigation of these claims, and the
matter presents very curious spectacle.
to say the least. AS stated, claims-for
horses and cattle, mainly, taken and
destroyed by Indians from white settlers
upon the frontier, some of them dating
back as far as twenty years-that are not
contested, but have been certified for
payment, aggregating about five millions
dollars, are still unpaid, and it is pro-

SHALL THE SOUTH BE RECOGNIzED9


A short time ago mention was made
in these columns Of the fact that the
leading Republicans of Kentucky would
probably present the name OF Hon. w.
O. Bradley as a candidate for the nomi-
nation for vice-president by the Chicago
convention. The matter appears to be
assuming somewhat formidable proper
tons, the leading party men OF the south
having taken the matter up with the de-
termination to press it to an issue at
Chicago. They claim that the south has
never been recognized since the war nor
encouraged in its endeavors to throw OFF
the bourbon yoke, by giving it a place on
the national ticket. but that in spite of
this the party in that section has struggl-
ed faithfully and Loyalty, here and there
gaining local victory and making SUBJ
stantial progress everywhere. And
nowhere in the south is this last condi-
ton more forcibly illustrated than in
Kentucky. 1t is claimed by those in
position to know, in its present situation,
with such a candidate for second place
on the ticket as the people Of that state
and section know Mr.. Bradley to be,
success to the party in Kentucky would
really be less doubtful than
in Indiana, and not only SO, but
such recognition to the south
at this time will also put Maryland, the
two Virginias, North Carolina and per-
haps one or two other southern states IN
the list of doubtful states with as strong
hope of carrying some or all of them as OF
a like number of close northern states. The
Republican party has been trying to rid
the country of the sectional issue, but
has so far failed through the persistence
of the Democracy to keep it up, but with
such a recognition of that section as to
give it a place on the national ticket
would so strengthen the party and dis
courage the opposition that the sectional
issue would be relegated to the past and
the solid south consequently broken up.
Besides these considerations, which
are OF sufficient gravity as to demand
the attention Of the party at large and
its leaders in convention, it is claimed
for MIR. Bradley, and no doubt truth
fully, that his record is clean, his per.
sonal magnetism wonderful, his powers
ofsndurance as a canvass unhounded,
and as an eloquent and convincing
speaker he has few, if any superiors.

ARKANSAS VALLEY CROPS.
The Present Promise Of the Great Agrl-

cultural Counties Of Kansas.
The great Arkansas valley is now in
her glory. Her crop acreage Is simply
immense, and every cultivated rood OF
her millions of acres stands out IN at
tractive glory, crowned with ripenng
grains and maturing cereals, amidst
landscapes of dew christened grasses.
We cannot speak specially of the entire
upper valley, but including southeastern
Reno, the whole of Sedgwick, the whole
of Sumner. the western half of Butler
and Cowley, strip of country lying
contiguous to or within the great Arkan-
sas valley, of eighty miles long by forty
wide. such a vision of magnificent, thor
oughly cultivated fields, and Of wonder
fully promising crops, cannot be sur
passed by any spot Of similar area on
this earth is our conviction. In round
numbers, within the lines Indicated.
there are to-day one million acres
of wheat. corn, oats and potatoes,
one million acres of as fair a prospect
for an abundant rich harvest as ever
greeted the eyes of mortal man. It's
two hundred thousand acres OF wheat Is
already "whitening unto the harvest
and may be considered beyond all

The section of Kansas of which we
speak, is now, and ever must be, the
great agricultural paradise OF the great
agricultural state of Kansas, and III the
exact center of which is Wichita. With
a through knowledge Of the entire state,
sixteen years ago, at a time before the
soil of this vast area had been scarcely
touched, this prediction was made by
THE EAGLE and the agricultural reports
and statistics Of the state from year to
year but go to verify that conclusion.
Sedgwick and Sumner will probably
lead all other counties in Kansas within
the next five years in the value OF pro-
auctions, but these two counties will be
closely followed by Cowley, Butler and
the counties which bound Sedgwick and
Sumner ON the west and north, to-wit:
Harper, Kingman, Reno and Harvey,
the fullness of the promise of whose
crops today constitutes a picture that
must be seen to be appreciated.

The st. Louis platform shows upon
its face its paternity. 1t is as dumb as
an oyster about what disposition to make
of the surplus already accumulated and
accommodating, and deals only with the
question how to prevent still greater
surplus at some future time, which time
is indefinite, and, from present appear
ances, very remote. In this respect it
bears the ear marks of the presidents
message. The man who dictated one
document dictated both. The message
was distinguished for the same hiatus.
Why not do something with the surplus
now on hand? What to do with the sur
plus which is pouring into the treasury
every day is question, the solution of
which requires courage and statesman
ship. This is why the president and his
party have avoided it.
