THE LEADING EVENT OF THE YEAR.

The editorial correspondent of the Fort
Scott Monitor writing to that paper
from Topeka, in speaking of state politics,
says: The Wichita convention will not
only be a gathering of clans for the cleo
ton of favorites to cast the ballot of
Kansas at Chicago. but it will be bat
tie ground of candidates for state posi-
tons. As have indicated the principal
fight will be for governor and secretary
of state. there being no particular inter-
est manifested in any of the other offices.
Usually the canvass for state positions
hinges on governor and very little inter
est is taken in the other candidates, but
this year there is quite
spirited canvass for secretary of
state, which is growing more
exciting every day among the friends of
the various candidates. As to the inter
est that is being manifested in the pend
ing campaign for state offices, the state
ment is true, and we take it as most
encouraging augury for the future of the
Republican party and the state. The
people are waking up to- the Importance
of exercising judgment and wise discre-
ton in the selection of public officers,
rather than leaving the matter to the
manipulation of a coterie of sentimental
lists. And it is likewise true that, not
withstanding the Wichita convention
will have nothing to do with the selec-
ton of candidates for state offices. the
convention will he composed of repre-
sentative men from all parts of the state
and there will very naturally be gen
eral interchange of opinions and compar-
ing of notes in regard to the fitness Of
candidates for the different state offices
to be filled. This fact, added to the
work of the convention that meets here,
Will render the occasion by far the most
important political event of the year In
this state

APPRECIATED COMPLIMENTS

conscientious journalist, Marshall NJ.

dorsing Mr. Murdoch for governor was
read and passed amidst unbounded en-
Observation-Disclosures Daily Courier.
Marsh Murdoch will come UP to To-
peka with pretty good following for
governor. We predict that in the first
ballot he will not be fourth III the race.

teen contestants this will be doing well

sent. We do not see why Col. Murdoch.
after all these years that the office has
been laid ar his feet. should not consent
at last 10 accept the honor. 1t would be
peculiarly fitting that marvellous Wichita
and her Murdoch should at this time
stand at the head Of the wonderful st~e
that delights to honor progress. OF course
Wichita says selfishly that she cannot
spare Murdoch. but we think he needs a
little respite after his stormy work in
harness and now the state at large wishes
to honor him. As man Of the most

FOR INGALLS,.

At the Rice county convention, held
last Monday, the following resolution
was unanimously adopted among others.
Hon. r. F. Bond was chairman of this
committee:
Resolved. That the state of Kansas has
reason to be proud of the great services
rendered to this country by her United
States senators, and especially for their
individual labors III advocacy of the
rights of the veteran soldiers of the re-
public, and we believe the Republicans
to compose the Wichita convention will
receive the appreciation of a vast major
itv of their number in the state if they
instruct their delegates to Chicago to
support for president. the president of
the United States senate, our own senior
senator, John j. Ingalls,. for the republi-
can nomination for president,

There are intimations, says the Bos-
ton Traveller, coming from sources
where friendlinesS TO Mr.. Blaine is con-
Stantly manifesting itself, that many of
the Ohio delegates who are nominallv
supporters of Senator Sherman really
prefer the Maine statesman. and will
secretly work for him. If this is true of
them. they have secured their election
by false pretenceS; but there is no good
reason TO suspect them. That Mr.. Blaine
has many friends among them is well
known, but that they contemplate treach-
cry TO the favorite son of their own state
is incredible. Mr.. Blaine would nroba-
bly decline a nomination secured by such
devices" There will he no occasion for
ANYBODY TO practice any treachery or de-
ception. If it shall be evident; to the in
structed supporters of Senator Sherman,
or any other candidate, that some other
man is the choice of a majority of the
convention and the party at large, il will
not only not be treacherous for such
delegates to acquieSce in the choice so
but will be the highest evil
dence of loyalty to the best interests Of
their friend. if he be true and worthy
man, as well as TO their party and
country.

There is no Disgusting the facts so
palpable they do not try to deny it-that
the reason the Democrats SO perSiStently
oppose the division Of Dakota and adj
mission of the south half as a state is
because they fear the Republicans will
carry it, and if it is divided into two
states it would send four Republicans to
the United States senate. The New York
Herald admonishes its Democratic
brethren that they should not bite off
too much. II says that Dakota, which
they propose to make into one state, is
nearly as large as New York, all New
England and Ohio. That is too big for
one state Let them turn the southern
half into a state and then go up and dis
cuss the tariff there and make it Demo-
cratic That is more sensible and, we
will add, a more democratic way That
would be the fair, manly way to act, but
they recognize that such a course would
involve Il vast amount of labor and very
little prospect of success.
Wichita eagle., 1888-04-29

Chairman Mills of the ways and means
committee wrote to the Iroquois club the
other day that they must see to it that
Mr.. Cleveland was endorsed in his posi-
ton on the tariff. He declared that
Democrats must stand by him as he had
outlined the party position and its issue
for the campaign. We are very glad to
see Mr. Mills make this demand. There
was great fear at one time that having
discovered the awful blunder he had
made Mr.. Cleveland would try to back
out of the hole into which he had fallen.
But the extreme free traders like Mills.
of Texas, are the fellows who are re-
sponsible for getting him in the hole and
it seems they have manliness now TO
stay with him. The Republican party
will want nothing better as an issue than
the gauntlet which Mr.. Cleveland has
thrown down. If the Democrats will
only stand by him they can rest assured
the Republican party and the nation at
large will stand against him.

An immense pelican was found, dead,
over in Butler county near ElDorado a
day or two ago. That bird being a
stranger to this latitude and country the
presence of the dead body of the one
found as above mentioned caused con-
siderable speculation in that locality as
to how it came there. As Is known the
pelican is found i'll this country only in
the eXreme south, mainly in Louisiana,
and has been used as a symbol by that
state, and through all its vicissitudes the
faithful bird has remained LOYAL and
true. 1t is suggested, however that the
result of the late election in that state
was such an outrageous travesty upon
common justice and equal protection. as
symbolized by the pelican, that it could no
longer bear the humiliation and disgrace
heaped upon its good name and that it
instinctively took its flight TO a land
more in accord with its nature. and that
the one mentioned, overcome with
modification and fatigue. died when it
reached the land of surcease.
Wichita eagle., 1888-04-29

The New York Sun, with its charac-
teristic smartness, and in this instance
gall. obtains the information. that the
last thing Mr.. Blaine will do before set
ting sail for America will be to write an
other letter peremptorily declining the
Republican nomination for president.
The wish is father to the thought, not
only with the Sun but with the opposi-
ton generally. They go upon the idea
that with Blaine out of the way they
will have clear sailing to success. But
they need not lay such fiattering JUNCTION
to their souls. Mr.. Blaine will not be
the Republican nominee on his own mo-
ton, but if he is, even over his protest,
he will he elected. But whether he is
nominated, or another, the next presi-
dent will be a Republican and true. loyal
American. without the slightest possibil-
;ty of a doubt, just the same.
Wichita eagle., 1888-04-29

Mr.. Burrows in his speech in congress
on the Mills tariff bill made good
point when he declared that while free
trade might at first cheaper prices yet
the effect after England had broken
down American Industries would be to
give her monopoly of the whole bust
ness. There is a principle there not
often noticed. AT present, under sys-
tenn of protection, American manufac-
turers are enabled to pay their employees
good wages and keep prices at a profit
able figure even against the competition
of England. But without the tariff they
would either have to lower the wages of
their workingmen to meet the pauper
labor Of Europe or give up the trade and
let the foreigners have it all. Then
when competition had been killed and
American Industries were Frustrated,
England with monopoly of many lines
of business could fix the prices as she
pleased and make the American market
pay them.
