KANSAS AND THE OFFICES.
The general superstition IL that
Kansas has not received its share Of
federal Offices, aad II we reckon
from thesiEe OF our majority this
superstition IL correct. 90 far Kan
sas has received ten offices which do
not necessarily belong within her
borders. They are ~ follows: Thos
Ryan, Topeka, minister to Mexico;
Judge George Chandler, OF Indepen-
dence, assistant secretary Of the
interior; j. v. Admire, Of Usage
City, receiver Of public monies at
KIngfisleF; X. w. Turner, OF Man
kato, consul at CsdiE; NJ. ID. Samp-
son, Salina, consul at st. Johns,
New Brunswick; J. 5. Weaver, OF
Fort Scott, appointment by interior
department In Oklahoma; w. NJ.
Allison, Of Winfield, u. =. commis-
siOner at Guthrie; ]. III. Franklin,
OF Russell, deputy second auditor II
the treasury; ID. A. Harvey, Of To-
peka, commissioner. Oklahoma; Il.
r. WaIFond, L. 8. district attorney
for the Indian territory. These are
places which do not belong to Kan
sas, but which are thrown TO her la
recognition Of her 82,O0J Republican
plurality. Missouri has secured
twsnty-six places Of similar chat

When Republicans are not able To
get an office where q vacancy exists,
how long will the fellows have TO
wait for places held by Dem Ocrats
who would rather die than resign?

find out how the whisky business
"benefitted" q town or city. The
reporter found 5000 vacant business
houses and residences, financial
ruin on all sides, thousands Of labor

Geo. W. Click, not only the most
offensive Democrat In Kansas, but q
