HARMONIOUS AGAIN.

IL cannot be denied that for five years
there has existed. i'm Kansas two fac
lions of the democratic party, known
as the Click faction and the Martin
faction. For several years before the
Emporia convention in 1882, Hon. John
Martin, of Topeka had been the chair
man of the state central committee and
Hon. Geo. w. Click, of Atchison had
been one of the few reliable and sue
cessful democratic workers in the state.
At the Emporia convention, the gubeT~
national nomination was rendered to
Judge Martin but he declined to accept
it, because he objected to the platform
that the convention had adopted. The
nomination was then rendered TO Mr..
Click, he accepted and was elected gov
ernOr.
From that time until last week, there
was not the best of feeling between
these two distinguished democrats.
Each had friends who insisted on keep
ing the fire burning, even when the
principals were willing TO have it ex-
tinguished. But, happily, the white
winged angel of peace is now lowering
over the party in this state, the Ratchet
has been buried so deep that not even
the handle is IN sight, and these two
democratic giants, Judge Martin and
Gov. Click, who possess such power for
good, will now be found working to-
gether for the grand old party.
1t is not known to the writer exactly
how the differences were adjusted Oh
who instigated the affair, but it appears
that Hon. G. w. Blair and Hon. Ed.
Carroll, of LeaYenworth and Hon. John
Tomlinson, of Atchison were in great
measure responsible, and when the
movement was started, that grand old
democrat, Judge Martin, appeared
never happier than when he was furth
ering the good work. 1t is our candle
opinion that there is no position of hon
or or trust that the democrats of Kan
sas would not now willingly give Il
Judge Martin. However, he is not al
olIice-hunter and it is not probable tina
he will ever be fully repaid for his pas
and prospective services.
Gov. Click feels that his past cours,
has been fully endorsed by the democ
racy of Kansas and now he is willing
to continue devotlng his years to thu
success of his party.
Barber county had never taken side
in the Click Martin differences, for on
people recognized in each gentleman
great powers for usefulness; both hat
helped our people in many ways; Meth
er had ever refused any demand we ha'
ever made on their time or thei
patience, and both occupied warn
places in the hearts of our people
Therefore we are more than pleased t,
know that hereafter there are to b
known no factions" in the party,

Harper Graphic: 1.-The gigantic land
sale, which took place in Harper and
Barber counties couple of weeks ago.
was one Of the largest, perhaps, ever
made in Kansas. 1t consisted of nearly
5000 acres, aud a colony of Germans,
we understand will be located on il.
Gentlemen from Kiowa inform us that
the sale was the direc. result of the
advertising lately done in that town,
and distributed throughout the east by
the 5. X. railroad. Attention was di-
rected to the natural advantages of Bar
borcounty by the innumerable circulars,
and the result has been happy one for
that county. Harper might have sim
liar good fortune in swelling her popu-
lahon had she deemed it advisable e
spend a few hundred dollars in the
same Manner

The republicans will hold their pri-
maries to-day to send delegates to the
county convention, Saturday, that will
send delegates To the senatorial conven-
ton at Coldwater on the 3lst ult. 1t
Is understood that the polls will be
opened at the court house at . O'Clock
and remain open an hour or more. The
hight here is between Il. a. McNeal and
Chester L. Long, both candidates for
the senatorial nomination. The friends
of each gentleman appear to have thor
oughly canvassed the township and
both sides feel confident of victory.
We rather think that Chester 1. will
have the Long pole and that he will get
the persimmOns.

The city council is TO be congratulate
ed on getting so many home bidders ON
the water ditch contract, but it should
be especially gratilied that home men
secured the contract. Seven thousand
dollars spread among the laboring men
of this vicinity will be a great help at
this time and we have an idea that Cole
x Simpson, the contractors, will employ
Barber county labor exclusively. They
must have the work completed by Sep
TENDER LIST and the probability is that
most of it will be done during July and
August when the farmers have the
least work ON hand for their teams.

have no serious opposition. Inasmuch

we are we'll satisfied with his decision.
In short time, Mr.. Eaton will be here

The Thatcher-1ngalls ticket is sup
ported almost or quite UNANIMOUSLY by
all the perpetrators and supporters of
the senatorial rascality of last winter
and by all the Vallandigham, Sam Me-
dairy, Mcclellan secession sympathiZers
i'm the state. The fact that the ticket
is the product and is supported by these
classes of men is enough, in our opinion,
to induce our radical anti-slavery and
unconditional Union men to regard ii
with a good degree of suspicion.
The Learen,Corth Consecutive, October
10, 1864, said:
Every victory lessons the Mcclellan,
Vallandigham. Pendleton s. Co.. vote.
If Blunt whips Price, Thatcher and In
gals will lose thousand Mcclellan
votes.
The Conservative of the same date says:
The Lawrence State Journal. Thatcll-
er's home organ. last week denounces
bitterly Mr.. LIncoln's administration.
The evening before the election, the
LeavenwOrth Conservative said:
There is not traitor in Kansas to-
morrow but will vote for Thatcher and
Ingalls,"
The Leavenworth Times, which was.
with the State Journal, the ofiieial organ
of the Tbatcher-Ingalls ticket, said
November IL, 1854:
The presidential electors elected are
NJ. J. Parrott and the two highest on
the Mcclellan ticket. . The only record
of Mr.. Ingalls, connection with the mil
itary department of the state was an
appointment made May Is, 1854, as
major on Colonel Deitzler's staff. The
only service rendered by Deitzler. under
this commission. having record, was in
the Price raid in October. 1854 = In all
the accounts. closely pernsed. of that
raid and movements of Deitzler's COM
mand, no record can be found in the
press of the entire state Of Mr.. ingalls,
having left Atchison."
