Our esteemed contemporary, the Ar
kansas City Dispatch, complainingly
accuses the EAGLE of stirring up strife
in the opposing party. The head and
front of the EAGLES offending has been
its expose OF the shammery of the pre-
tended harmony claimed to prevail in
the Democratic party of Kansas, and at
large, by quoting expressions from the
papers and leaders of that parJy-in
calling public attention to the presence
OF the trusty cudgel that lies in NsS
reach of the party boss, and his declara-
ton that 1t would be used upon the first
obstreperous kicker that makes a break.

So far as we have seen or heard the
only exception to the popular acceptance
of Mr.. Blaine'S last letter in which he
explicitly stated that he would not ac-
cept the nomination for president, is the
Kansas City Star. That paper. at the
risk of compromising its reputation for
politician acumen, still insists that Mr.
Blaine may be the Republican nominee,
and cites the destinations of Horatio
Seymour and James A. Garfield, who
with equal positiveness said they would
not accept the nomination of their re-
spective parties, but both of whom re-
considered the matter and became the
standard bearers of their parties. 1t is
useless to discuss the question now. Mr.
Blaines declination has been accepted by
his party, and that settles it.

At Lexington, KY, the other day
Colonel Robert Thornton and the Hon.
George B. Kinkead, counselors at law,
had fist fight in the court room. 'Both
parties to the difficulty are highly con-
nected, Colonel Thornton being son-in-
law of the late General William Preston,
and law partner with United States
Senator James B. Beck, while Judge
Kinkead is a son of Judge w. B. Kin

incident is that two honorable Kentucky
gentleman OF Eneal blood should resort
to such ignoble weapons to avenge their
wounded honor as their bare fists. In
the name of chivalry, what is Kentucky

is to say there are no new developments
