Botkin sneeringly refers to Murdock's
candidacy for governor. Botkin can't
fool the people of southwest Kansas on
Murdock's candidacy. No man in the
history of the state was ever more earn
estly urged to become candidate than
was Murdoch. which urging was backed
by written assurances from the most
prominent representatives of the state
and of the people of hearty support, if he
but said the word, and Mr.. Botkin is in
formed that had Murdoch become the
candidate he would have received more
votes in Sedgwick and one or two adjoin-
ing counties than will Botkin and Brooks
in the entire state of Kansas.

THIRD CHRONICLES.
CHAPTER I,

Now it came to pass during the fourth
and last year of the reign of Groveland,
the Cleaver, that in the principally OF
Kansas few of the sect selfnamed the
purifiers" assembled themselves to
gether and took council with one another
regarding the best mode of weakening
the efforts of their friends, and of rem
dering aid and comfort to those who had
ever been arrayed against the principles
which they (he Purifiers) professed to
espouse and protect. And the question
arose among them whom shall we have
for our standard bearer? Who shall lead
us in this great work which we have set
themselves, and were in much doubt
and perplexity of mind, and
trouble brooded over the assem-
for the space of one hour. Then in
their midst one arose and In loud voice
exclaimed, Go to, now; why reason We
among yourselves, and why are We cast
down and in doubt. Here am |, take me,
for | am mighty in spirit and care not
for the face of man, be he friend or
brother. And although the vows Of the
Most High are upon me, yet will use
them as part of my weapons of warfare,
and verify our friends shall melt away
before the power of my might, and by
the strength of my right arm our
enemies shall prosper and shall be
as the sands upon the seashore for
number; for those who are our
friends that we cannot control, there
fore destruction shall come upon them
and they shall vanish away as the morn
ing dew before the heat at the MONDAY
sun.
Then did they who were faint of heart
before, lift their heads and gaze upon
the face of this mighty man of valor, and
10, it was Botkin. Then did they arise
as one man and cry out, great is Botkin;
great is Botkiu, the elder. He can
build and he can rerd asunder. The
breath of his nostrilS shall be consurn
ing fire to those who stand up against
us. to the multitude of those who will
not bow down to our behestS. And with
one accord they all fell upon his neck
and kissed, and then lifted up their voices
and wept, and again said unto him,
Lead us forth again; whittier thou 60
est we will go; thy people shall be our
people. ana aLucitlul, WIZ IL my
god, shall be our god also. Then with
smooth words did he comfort them, and
when they had sat down he sang the
following:
NJ brethren now I've found
A place that doeth abound,
With chances 70 be dom
The more do find,
The more am inclined
To either rule or ruin.

Then after giving TO them his blessing
he dismissed them, and each one hied
him 70 his own home and cooled his
heated brow with pure crystal ice and
sat upon a huge block of the same,
while his good wife split the kindiing
and carried IN the coal to prepare
him his evening repast.
