HOW THE MONEY GOES.

The amount appropriated by congress
for river and harbor Improvement for
the year ending June 80. 1890. was S22,
81, 617, and now we have the figures of
General Casey for the amount wanted
next year, which is above $50, 600, 900.
OF the sum last named the Mississippi
river commission wants $4,000. 900 in
round numbers, while the Missouri river
commission thinks it may be able TO get
along comfortably with S2,160, 600. As
the Missouri river has always been un-
reliable for steamboat navigation and as
it is but little utilized in that way now.
the appropriation asked by its commits
sion is doubtless for the protection of
cities and towns located on or near its
banks, such as Sioux City. Omaha.
Council Bluffs. ST. Joseph, Atchison and
Leavenworth. At several cities on the
Missouri the government has ALREADY ex-
pended large sums for riprapping to
prevent encroachments of the river upon

JOHN DoRAN IN NORTH sEDGwICK

John A. Doran, the next treasurer of
Sedgwick county, spent few hours in
this vicinity Monday, looking after his
political fences. which. by the way, are
in exceptionally fine shape in the north
ern half of the county. If they are in as
good trim in the south half, and we are
assured they are, he will undoubtedly go
in at the head of the column with flying
colors, just as he did during the trying
times of 1876. 1t is conceded by al
most everyone that John is the best and
most competent man ever nominated for
treasurer of Sedgwick county. His cleo
zion is foregone conclusion. as is the
balance of the boys on the straight Re-
publican ticket-Sedgwick Paragraph.

GRANT IS ALL RIGHT.

The Republicans OF Sedgwick county
held very large and enthusiastic meet
ing at the Park school house, Grant
township. Monday evening. The speak
ers were W. r. Payne and Rev. \. E.
Harmon. of Wichita The meeting was
a very harmonious one and much good
feeling and enthusiasm elected. When
the name OF Thode Brown. John Dorau.
Daniel Murphy and the balance of the
straight ticket were mentioned the an
plause was almost deafening. The opfy
scratching that will be done in Gran,
township this year will be the Demo
cratic candidates. Grant is all right

The soreheads, mugwumps and Demo-
Gratis are having big time out in the
Third district trying to down Tom Ran
dali with man who, in fact, does not
represent himself. who is stranger to
most people in the county and whose
name don't even appear on the tax rolls
of the county. Such a man is fine

interests and affairs of county of sixty

A DISREPUTABLE DODGE.

The managers of the Democratic cam
paign are telling it around that promi-
nent and we'll known Republicans of this
city are quietly supporting the Demo-
cratic ticket, or certain nominees of that
party, in preference to the Republican
nominees. Only yesterday we heard
from reliable authority that certain Re-
publicans had been assured that such
Republicans as NJ. w. Levy, L. d. Skin
ner and n. E. Harmon and others would
not vote for Thode Brown, not only, but
that they would vote for the Democratic
nominee. 1t ought to be unnecessary to
denounce all such talk as lies. We
haven't seen the gentlemen mentioned
touching this matter. and it is not neces-
sarv that we should. They are too well
known, their records as Republicans too
consistent, to admit OF even doubt.
The truth of the matter is the only
hope that the Democratic party has had
of success at any time was that Republic
cans would forswear their own party
and vote the Democratic ticket. To Sc
cure Republican votes they urged a false
issue. and issue misleading on its face,
that of resubmission. Failing in that
they now resort to Misrepresentation by
putting bold face on the matter and de-
claring that prominent Repnb-
licans are going to desert
their party and vote for Democrats.
We have no doubt that these Democrats
have been making these assurances all
over the county. That such declarations
might mislead some Republicans we do
not deny, but we don't believe that
many level headed men, such as Republi-
cans generally are, can be caught by any
such chaff.
