VIII Bottoms Salaann.

From theKiowa County Signal
The convention at Dodge City yester-
day nominated Col. James r. HallOwell
for congress from this the 18th Kansas
district. Personally were in favor of
Col. J. NJ. Lewis, of Edwards county,
but the convention has chosen aim
and we are for him with all the energy
at our commrnd. The platform adopted
is the best ever promulgated in Kansas
and the Republicans of the west have at
last awakened to the fact that the nation
al bank is national rObber and that
free coinage anc full legal tender treas
urv issue is demanded. jim HallOwell
Is a strong man in many respects and
will command the confidence of the peO-
pie provided he steers clear of dema-
gogues who will seek to use him for per-
ssnal ends, and will stand squarely in
favor of the platform adopted yesterday
in the convention which nominated him.
As a speaker he has few equals and no
superiOrs in Kansas, being clear and log
ical on every point. The eth district
viii have reason to be proud of its next
congressman

The present difficulties in

The present difficulties in Argentine
are said to be largely due to the sauan-
dering of money on very unproductive
public works, which has given rise to
rampant speculation in land From 1886
to 1890 the railway mileage of that coun-
try increased from 1859 10 1889. of
which nearly one-half is still in course
of construction. During the same peri

If Senator Plumb's resolution, offered
Saturday, in relation to the removal of
the remains of General Grant to the ma
tional cemetery shall be adopted, as it
undoubtedly will, the very pretty little
scheme of raising a fund for a monu-
ment at his tomb by collecting five cents
from each of the school children of the
ountry, will be interrupted and,
if the remains are removed the govern
ment will assume the duty of erecting a
suitable monument at the tomb.

Judge has lately published a cartoon,
which is meant to insinuate that General
Ayers canvass for the Republican NOM
ination in 1892, will only have butterfly
existence, and will perish with the first
blast of coming winter. The inspiration
for the cartoonist is, no doubt, the wish
that it shall be so, and this the reflex of
the generals potentiality in the last pres
idential campaign. If he be living in
1892 his influence will be felt whether as
a candidate or otherwise.

New Senators.

From a Washington Letter.
The terms Of twenty-eight senator's
will expire March 4, 1891. -Four others
two each from Idaho and Wyoming
are To be chosen. The Republican
majority IS but ten. The leaders of both
parties here are therefore looking for
ward to the elections OF legislatures in
the various states with intense anxiety.
Republicans aim 10 maintain thels ma
iority. while Democrats hope, by some
hook or crook. to decrease the RepublI-
can strength, If not secure control Of the
upper branch Of congress.

Cut No Figure in the Case.

From the TT. Scott News.
1t was claimed on the streets yesterday
that because Col Halloweu prosecuted
jointists in Wichita while acting as
deputy states attorney. he is not a resub-
missionist and his nomination to congress
in the Seventh district was a prohibition
victory. Evidently Col. Hallowell's
neighbors do not understand it so, as the
resubmissionists held big mass meeting
in Wichita last night to ratify his NOM
nation.

The Kansas dailies, that three months
ago read the EAGLE out of the Republi-
can party, because of its denunciatiOn of
the Mckinley bill, will now please dish
Mr.. Plumb up with the same racket.
Colonel Plumb may not have denounced
the whole measure in such sweeping
terms as was employed by the EAGLE,
but he seems none he less earnest and
not a whit less vigorous in his attack on
some of its principal sections.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1890-08-05

Senators Plumb and Paddock seems to
have the courage of their convictions as
shown by their votes. Nor has anyone
been formally delegated to perform the
act of reading them out of the Republi
can party; in fact, no one has had the
temerity to question their party loyalty.

The Topeka Capital pays Colonel Hal

Of publishing very faithful likeness of

Exactly; They Do.

From the State Journal.
Congressman-to-b Hallowell is re-
leased from the dictation of party eau
Gus and when elected will go to Wash
ington free man to battle for the rights
of his constituents. This means in plain
words that Kansas wants Mr.. Hallowell
to take the same bold stand in the house
that Senator Plumb has taken in the
senate.

prince Hal"

From the K. {. star.
The nomination of Colonel J. R. Hal
lowell for congress III the Seventh Kan
sas district denotes that the good fel-
low" is by no means an extinct factor in
Kansas politics. Prince Hal the title
which has been conferred upon him by
his friends in Kansas, indicates the char
acter of the man. He is genial. mag
netic and breezy, and has no end of
what the French call esprit :
He is adrOit without being hypocritical,
and smooth without being a fraud
He has learned the ms and outs of Kan
sas politics by an apprenticeship of many
years. He always wants something
and he always gets it.
With the feeling that has been stirred
up in Kansas against the odd crowd. -
and with the farmers in lively state Of
revolt all over the state. there was some
question about Hallowell's success at
Dodge City. There was a suspicion that
the coyotes" might down him, but in
stead he captured the coyotes and
knocked out half dozen candidates who
went into the convention with alkali on
their boots and alfalfa seed IN their hair
Of course he will be elected. He never
got left in his life. and he viii make the
kind of a canvass that will cause the
children to CRY because they cant vote
for him.

Big Suit Decided.

From the TOpeka Capital.
The case of Shields 81 Cook v. Sulli-

attention for some time. The case comes
out of a judgement of $4,000 recovered
bv Shields & Cook, of Chicago, against
Sullivan. in an action coming out of "A

the verdict be set aside and for new
trial Upon the plaintiff renting
$4,000 off the original verdict the mo-
ton for a new trial was overruled.
