second district composed OF Che
counties OF Cloud and Republic, q
special election TO fill the vacancy,
has been ordered by Governor Hum
phrey on Monday, December 30, 1880
II is idle to say that this coming
election may be regarded as one oi
uncommon Importance should the re-
publicans seriously contest it,as It may
prove to be a last object lesson in de-
veloping a comparison between
earlier and later developments in
Kansas politics. Where now the re-
publicans are in a great minority,
they we're formerly an inyincible
power A historical glance at the
politics Of these two counties may
prove to be interesting TO one who
can realize a distinction between the
past and the future of Kansas, il not
OF American politics between the dy-
ing and the living elements, which
stood related to our great republic.
AS a primary statement, it may be
said that the beginning Of recorded
political sentiment in this district
was in 1866, when Governor Samuel
j. Crawford received forty-eight
votes in Cloud county. In 1868
James M Harvey obtained 100 out OF
Ill votes in Cloud and 63 out Of II
votes in RepububliC county for the
governors Office. In 1869 B. III. Nc
ECkron was elected Representative
from Cloud and r. p. West to the
same Office from Republic county.
In 1870 Governor Harvey obtained
in these two counties 627 out Of ZIG
votes. In 1871 Mr.. McEckron was
elected again as Representative from
Cloud and A. d. Wilson was chosen
as such from Republic county. In
1872 Thomas A. Osborn received 900
out Of 1893 votes in Cloud and 1000
out of 1926 votes in Republic county
for the Office Of governor. In 1873,
Mr.. McEckron was again elected the
Representative from Cloud and he
was made speaker of the House at
che session of 1874. William II. Pill
kenton was chosen the Representa-
tive from Republic county. In 1874
Governor Osborn had 1887 out OF
2,109 votes in these two counties. In
1875 George N. Nichols was elected
as Representative from Cloud and
r. p. West from Republic county.
In 1876 George T, Anthony, for gov
ernor, had in these counties 2,372
votes out of 34l2. In 1877 Lyman
U. Humphrey, for lieutenant gov
ernor, obtained 2,409 out Of 2,495
votes in these counties. In 1873
John p. St. John, for governor, in
these counties received 2,314 out Of
8,166 votes; in 1880 he had 1898
votes out of 5,776, and in 1882 he OBJ
tanned 2,ll7 out Of 1906 votes, being

Ihree or four of us had ordered our
mail directed there, supposing it to be a

after the train had departed, we went
over to the store to make inquiry. The
postmaster sat on his counter smoking
clay pipe, and nothing indicated that
he was in hurry.

over.
YES"
Did any Of you ever think what a re-

his legs, looked into vacancy, and con-
tinued:

represents the Government He is. to
