ventlon, or the thing that is called good
luck or chance With such q ticket, the
republican party in Kansas can assume
the aggressive IN the campaign.
Archison Champion: Now that the
struggle is ended it may be confidently
asserted that everybody is or should be
satisfied with the result. The platform
IS exactly right in each and every
particular. The nominees are the right
men IN the right place, and the Republi
cans OF the Sunfower state have pre-
sented to them for their acceptance a
declaration of principles and a ticket
worthy their undivided and most en-
thusiastic support. The Champion pre-
diets for the ticket the largest majority
ever given by any party in the state.
Lawrence Journal: The Democracy of
Kansas are very much elated over the
accession to their ranks of preacher
ON Sumner county. 1t is ground for
encouragement that the Democracy well

wide and unOccupied field for the mis-
sionary. Since the Click administration

Democracy have been short on preach
ers. They are to be congratulated on
having this varancy supplied.
Lawrence Tribune: The Republican
state convention did an admirable job in
the ticket made by it. and simplifed the
campaign greatly. The nominees are in
line with the national ticket-clean,
and substantial men,
enthusiastic representatives of the party,
with ample qualifications for the posi-
tons for which they are named. No
defense needed, but the way clear to an
aggressive campaign, the main point be-
ing to swell the majority to the greatest
possible figure. A spirit of cleverness
pervaded the convention, and the best of
feeling on the part of all goes with the

the trail is on one side of the railroad:
then We cross the track and
and go on climbing higher all
the time until we reach Blanco, seven
miles from Placer. There is an opening
to'the north through Gardeners Pass.
but we follow up the railroad until it
reaches Veta mountain. on the west
side OF it. There it stands, mountain
of huge dimensions. We cannot go
around it; neither can railroad train.
So the only course is to go over it. They
make curve to the south and keep on
the west side but climbing higher and
higher, with level once in q while,
then up again, like some huge serpent
drawing itself slowly along it moves on,
still upward and onward until it reaches
the summit, 1898 feet high. nearly one
thousand feet higher than at Blanco.
They now make a turn around the point
on to the east side Of the mountain,
heading north. and begin the descent.
They go down but little faster than they
go up. The engineers have COM
plete control of the trains at all
times on the down grade.
AS it gets near the base of the mountain
a very deep canon is there, so a bridge Is
built across it and the train makes very
short turn crossing the bridge, heading
south down the side of another noun
tain for few miles, then heads east to
La Veta, twenty-five miles from Placer,
and nearly 2,400 feet lower than when it
rounded the summit of Veta mountain
We found out another thing that we paid
at Placer to get into the pass, but when
we got to railroad station called Ojo
we had to pay to get out, SO we learned
something, but we saw enough to satisfy
us for the money just to see the train
come around the summit, down the
mountain, around the Mule Shoe, as it is
called. to compensate us for time or
money expended in getting to La Veta.

PRESS ESTIMATES Of THE TICKET.

Oskaloosa Independent: 1t is a good
strong ticket, and the majority for it will
be tremendous.
Oswego independents: Mr.. Humphrey S
nomination will also give strength to the
local Republican tickets, for it shows
that the party is disposed to put forward
men who will be in the peoples interest.
Smith County Bulletin: Mr. Humphrey
was lieutenant governor during ST. Johns
administration and is one OF the best men
in the state. He will be elected by 10
900 majority and viii make a splendid
executive officer.
Coffeyville Sun: Hon. l.. U. Hum
phrey is a man whom all our people are
glad to know has been accorded the nom
ination for the highest place within the
gift'of the people OF this state. He is a
clean, straight man, and the voters Of
the state ought to give him their united
support.
Anthony Journal: The convention at
Topeka has nominated man for gov
ernor who will honor Kansas as truly as
Kansas will honor him. L. T. Humph-
rey. valiant soldier, an accomplished
citizen, an honest man, will be elected
governor Of the Sunflower state by So
600 majority.
Abilene Reflector: Every man on the
ticket is gentleman OF unquesti ned in.
tegrity, sterling worth and firm upright
ness. The state officers of Kansas for
the next two years have been practically
selected. November's election will be
simply ratification of the Topeka con-
ventions action.
Independence Star and Kansan: The

U. Humphrey, of this city, for governor
on the third ballot. This nomination is
gratifying to all our people without dis
tinction of party, but it was not expected.
notwithstanding the strength developed
in the canvass for the nomination,
Marion Record: The ticket is COM
posed of gentlemen well worthy the
honor conferred upon them. The can
didate for governor, L. L. Humphrey. is
an educated gentleman, an experienced
legislator, an old soldier, and sialwart
Republican. He will make an able clean,
dignified governor.
Fort Scott Monitor: Hon. L. {. Hum

mated for governor on the third ballot
The nomination will be received with
special qualification by the people of
southern Kansas, while no one in any
part of the state can offer tenable OBJ
jecuons to the gentleman. His name
Will create enthusiasm among tie voters
as il did among the delegates, and this
fall the Republicans of Kansas will again
show an increased majority for the
ticket over any previous year.

Marsh Murdocks young man with the
SCISSORS calls such a conservative, cool
headed, practical man as Kicking Bird "A
crank, because he advocates amendments

it effective. 1t is long ways from being

pathy and support of such big hearted

gagged for some time past, in pre-

statement of Confederate property

obscure passages in the party platform,
state and national, according to his own
