NJ Lykins, is eminently historic and has

John Brown, and the birth place Of the
Kansas republican party In May 1889.
Horace Greedy, Of the New York Tribune,
addressed this convention on May lS, 1869,
and his utteranCes sounded like an edi-
torial. lie said

Thirteen years later Mr.. Greeley was
the candidate Of the "llberal republicans"
for President Of the United States, and
Preston b. Plumb was one Of his Kansas
supporters. And now, after period OF
nearly eighteen years,when Greeley "Came
TO his own and his own received him not"
and with faithful vlgils at the death-bed
Of the companion Of his bosom, literally
worn out before the meeting Of the cleo
toral colleges in December, 1872, he de-
parted 10 the better country Kansas
has her precious Plumb Of the nine men
representing her at Washington, who
has made the welkin ring In denuncia-
tion Of evils which Greeley mentioned
thlrty-one years ago. But the Mlamlans
have often spoken bravely, for in 1873
Congressman Haskell was In minority
Of 23s votes In this county; Funston, 796
in 1882, and 131 in 1886, and In 1890 the

successful republican OppOnet. In 1879,
Russell b. Armstrong, the republican
representative from this county, sternly
refused to support Ingalls, for re election,
but the democratic Representatives,
Greever and james, finally came TO his
support and the guild pro quo therein in
