Pass Them Around.

There are probably thousand Re-
publicans in Kansas who could ably.
creditably and handsomely represent
her in Il c Republican National Conven-
ton at Chicago in June, and yet from
the ''slates" on the big four that are
being advocated in different quarters ii
would seem there were only about six
or eight.
There are two ideas that seem to
have quite a hold upon certain papers
and individuals in this state. which,
according to our humble, ten-cent-a-
line way of thinking, are radically and
unequivOcally no good. The first is
that the delegation this year must be
composed, One-half of fellows who
went to the last convention and the
other half of fellows who went to the
one before, There certainly can bt
found eighteen leading Republicans
who stayed at home both times and
who would delight to be IGNORED this
time with chance of naming the sue
cessor of His Obesity, Sir Grover
i Hutchinson News,
We are heart and soul in sympathy
with the News in this matter, and
Dickinson county presents the name OF
Hon. j. r. Burton as man who could
ABLY, creditably and handsomely rep,
resent her (Kansas) in the National
Convention at Chicago"

County Convention.

n Republican county convention will be held
in the court house in Abilene, on Saturday,
April %, 1888, at IL o'clock q. m, for the pur-
pose of choosing delegates and alternates to
represent the Republican party of Dickinson
county. as follows:
Eight delegates and eight alternates to at
tend the congressional convention to be held
at Junction City, on Tuesday, May /. 1888, for
the purpose OF nominating a Republican can.
didate for congressman of said district.
Eight delegates and eight alternates to at
tend the district convention of the Fifth con-
gressiOnal district, to be held at Clay Center,
on Thursday, May 3, 1888, for the purpose of
attend and represent said district at the Ma
tional Republican convention at Chicago,
June 10, 1883; and also to select one Republi-
can presidential electOr to represent the Re-
publcans of said district on the National Re-
publican ticket.
the county of Dickinson at the Republican
State convention, to be held at Wichita, Kan
sas, on Wednesday, May 9, 1888, for the pur-
pose of selecting four delegates at large and
four alternates to represent the Republican
party of Kansas at the National Republican
convention. to be held at Chicago, June 10,
1888, and also for the selection of two Republi-
can presidential electors.
The delegates of the county convention will
be selected by the holding of Republican pri-
mary elections In the various voting precincts
and wards, as has been customary for num-
Der of years past, on Thursday, April 26, 1888,
between the hours of two and six o'clock, p.
m.
The basis of representation shall be one del
egate for each 30 votes cast for E. B. Allen,
secretary of state, at the election of Novem-
Der, 1886, which will give the following appor-
tionment to the several voting precincts in the
county:

The New York World, the great
Democratic journal of America, is still
striking some herculanean blows at the
sham administration of Grover Cleve-
land. On Tuesday last it swept away
the hypocTitical pretense of civil serv-
ice reform in the following pointed Ian
guage:
1t can hardly escape the attention OF
the President that his appointees IN
PENNSYLVANIA have nullifed the civil
service reform law and disobeYed his
order to office-holders.
The senatorial investigating commit
tee that is now prosecuting an inquiry
at Philadelphia undoubtedly has par
tisan Object in view. 1t is no doubt
true, furthermore, that under Repub-
lican Iule similar abuses were practlsed
in the public service. But neither OF
these facts has anything TO do with the
present case. There is a law of the
United States saying that men shall be
appointed to the subordinate CIVIL serV-
ice upon theiI fitness as demonstrated
in open competitive examinations, re-
CARELESS of their political opinions or
party connections. The object of the
law is to take the public service out Of
politics and to keep politics out of the
public service.
And yet it is shown that Postmaster
Harrity has removed nearly all of the
400 or 500 employees, without assigned
cause save i'll four or five cases, and
that members of his own party have
been appointed in their stead. AS one
of the means to secure this end, it is
testified to by one witness that the eX-
animation forms were intercepted in
the post-office, copies taken out and
answers to the questions furnished to
favored applicants. This involves a
double and criminal violation of the
law 1t is likewise testified by many
witnesses that Federal Office-hOlders
are habitually and openly active in par
ty management, in defiance of the
Presidents order against such practices.
Mr.. Cleveland once remarked that
the Presidency is essentially an eXecu-
tive office. 1t would seem to be time
to do little executing.

Roscoe COnkllng.

The death of Hon. Roscoe Conkling,
in New York, deprived the country of
one of its greatest men. Mr.. COnkling
was born at Albany, n. Y, Oh October
Both, 1923, He was never at college,
and what he knew of classics, he ac-
quired himself, through the untiring
industry which has always character
lied him in every pursuit in which he
has engaged.
In early life Mr.. Conkling gave signs
of the talent for which he has been
noted. He was always an
astute politician, and lover
of sound rhetoric. His speech was
strong and vigorous. He carried his
audiences by his mere impetus and
vigOr, and dazzled them with his brill
fancy. He was one of the most sue
cesSful advocates, as he has since be-
come one of the most successful legis-
lative debaters.
AS lawyer, he ranked among the
highest and best. His presence, his
voice, his splendid rhetoric Carried
Juries with him. He was not what is
Known as cunning and shrewd lawyer.
it was rather great power and manly
vigor which gained HIM his success i'll
the court room.
MIR. Conkling was Republican from
principle. He believed in the funda-
mental doctrines of the Republican
party. Whatever question of public
policy Was determined on by the Re-
publican party, it fonnd in Mr.. Conk-
ling an earnest advocate.
He was one of the few men in Con-
gress In 1861 who called treason and re-
Gelllon by their right names, and met
the anger and stormy rhetoric of the
Southern Congressman with rhetoric
as splendid and stormy as their own.
Mr.. Conkling was in every respect
the true type of American citizenship.
He believed in a Republican form of
government, and every effort of his life
was devoted to making better
the condition of the masses of the
people: In the U, S. Senate Mr.. Conk-
ling had no equal as a debater, and
when he resigned his position in 1881,
there was universal feeling that the
Republicans had lost their greatest
eader.
Mr.. Conkling was an honest man;
amidst all the charges of political dis
honesty against men in high places
during the last quarter of century, no
charge of political corruption was ever
laid 90 ~ dpU q RssUUe Ouekiisg.

There is no man more closely identi-
fed with certain elements of the Re-
publican party, both State and Nation
al, than Albert Griffin. The anti-saloon
wing looks to him as a leader, and fail
ure to recognize his prominence will
result disastrously. The Voice, the
prohibition organ, says in recent is
sue: LET us see if Kansas believes in
the anti-saloon movement enough to
send representative man to Chicago"
If the political sehemers see fit to de-
feat him in the Fifth district, or, what
is the same thing, foist him upon the
Wichita convention, they will regretit it.

Three. months of the congressional
session gone and nothing done, except
to fill the Congressional Record with a
mass of indigestible speeches. The
House can, however, afford to indulge
in weeks deadlock over a matter
which should have been settled in a
single session. Judging from the past
three months, however, the House
might as well stay deadlocked; it ac-
complishes nothing anyway.
