THE JOURNAL
THURSDAY, MAY s, 1855.

City % saiinh.
THE Abilene and Mcpherson folks
seem very much worked up over the
the refusal Of the associated press to
recognize the capital removing con-
ventiOn, and charge Father Baker
with "malice afOFethOught," &e., IN
connection with the matter. II
there Is anything In this country /
that people do not understand II il |
the associated press. As local press |
sgent we have spent much time and
wasted much midnight oil In times |
gone by, on dispatches which con-
veyed our peculiar ideas about some |
convention OF public meeting or |
public enterprise, expecting the fol- ]
lowing morning to see our rounded |
periods and eloquent remarks filling |
the dispatch columns. When the |
dispatches appeared they would be |
sadly bereft Of their elOquence, |
dressed down Ia simple faets-if |
they appeared at all-Rnd in answer |
10 our indignant protest, q reply |
would come that the associate press |
Tfsuafahaa rrara r,nf intended fo nm
vey personal opinions, or advertise |
persons or corporations, but must be |
facts-facts Of the Gadgrind order. |
May not Abilene or Mcpherson, or |
both, gain a little lesson from this
presentment Of f0cfs on our part?
The Fifth District Republican
Congressional convention yesterday |
re-nOminated John A. Anderson for |
congress by acclamatiOn. G.. w.
Banks, Of this city, was chairman Of |
the convention, and ID. r. Gordon,
OF Dickinson county, secretary. |
The central committee for the en-
suing two years was chosen as fol-
lows: G.. NJ. StrattOn, Clay county |
b. II. McEckron, Cloud county; g..
w. Martin, Davis county; ID. Il. |
Gordon, Dickinson county; A. q.
Edwards, Marshall county; &. y.

ford, Republic county; W. II. john
son, Saline comfy; II. G. Robinson,
Washington county. The commit
tee organized by the election of g..

A BRIDGE on the Burlington q
Missouri River road near Alma,
Neb., gave way Friday morning, its
support having been weakened 10y
rains as a through passenger train
was passing, and the mail and ex-
press cars went down with il, and
all passenger coaches except one left
the track. l.. A. TOwne, of Grand
Rapids, Mich, was killed; Charles
A. Eaton, of Lincoln Neb., seriously /
injured, and w. NJ. McLorney, Of
Kansas City, severely bruised and a
conductor and brakeman slightly in
iured.
THE Republicans of the Fifth Kan
sas district have concluded that IL
Is useless to buck against John An
dersOn, and they are falling into
line. When Mr.. Anderson L. beaten
in convention he has a habit of run
ming ON his own account and carry
ing everything before him. a man
like that has no trouble i'm uniting
the party.-KdDsas city Times.
The Democrats were so well suited
with this gentleman two years ago
that the Regular Republicans have
concluded TO take him this time ,iusi
for luck.
The nomination by the President
Of Melville W. Fuller of Illinois, to
be Chief Justice Of the United States
will cause even more surprise
throughout the country than the
nomination Of the late Chief Justice
Waite. AT the time Waite's nOmi-
nation was made, everybody asked
"WhO Is Waite" The same en-
quiry will be made with reference to
Fuller. We hope he will prove as
able an officer as the late Chief JUS
tice.

THRRE is a little fun at Col. d. r.
Anthony's expense just now. He is
q candidate for Governor on his pro-
hibition record, and just as he WAS
getting things cooked and primed,
thieves broke into his cellar and
stole all his high wines and liquors.
This becoming public, has caused
business in his gubernatorial market
TO rate pretty dull.
IN the east no improvement in the
condition Of the winter wheat crop I

that the crops will prove a failure in q
