1t may not be tour funcralu exact
ly: and yet the REGISTER desires (,
heartily commend the above sugges
ton, as one of the most sensible it ha,
seen from that side of the house. We
do not believe, of course, that Col
Jones could be elected Governor OF
Kansas, and If he were nominated
this paper for purely political reasons
would do all it honestly could to de-
feat him. Nevertheless we are free to
say that the Democratic party of Kan
sas would do itself credit by nominal
ing him. He has an 4aassailable rec
ord az soldier, citizen and State and
Federal official, and he has an i'm
mense number of warm personal
friends. He would make any amount
better race than q wooden chump like
Click, or y ssatle back number like
Robinson. If the Gqls8el thinks he
can afford to 60 into politics for the
fun there is i'm 1t, we hope he will get
out his pole and start for the persfm-
mon grove.
