MISTAKE THEIR HEADQUARTERS

This is to notify some half dozen can
didates on the Democratic and Alliance
tickets, respectively, who honored us
with calls yesterday, that the editorial
sanctum of the EAGLE is not the head
quarters for such opposition, but that
the EAGLES editor is trying to DO, in his
feeble way, what little he can for the
success of the splendid men nominated
for county offices by the late Republican
convention. The place for explanations
and the mediums through which to de-
nounce the editor of the EAGLE is in the
opposition organs. Next Wednesday or
Thursday will be a convenient time for
this opposition crowd to make their expla-
nations to the people through the EAGLE
and to tell how they came to be fooled
into running for Office on the Demo
cratic and Alliance tickets, but until
that time the EAGLE will be very, very
busy indeed and prays to be excused
from tedious explanations in which the
great body of our readers have no inter
est. In the meantime we humbly beg
leave to suggest the propriety of these
candidates shutting off the sluices of
outrageous SANDER and vile abuse being
poured ont by their own organs on the
heads of the devoted men who compose
the Republican ticket, every one of
whom will be elected by from handsome
to overwhelming majorities next Tues
day; who, after such date, will be as
happy to meet and condole with the de-
feaied opposition and to receive explana-
tions as will be the editor of the EAGLE
himself

DON'T DO 1T.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean very truth
fully says that eff there is one modern
abuse in politics that needs condemna-
ton more than another it is that of a
candidate selling out those on the ticket
with him In order to insure his own
election. Any man that attempts any
thing of that kind should himself be
ANONYMOUSLY defeated" There has
been some such undetermined, unprinci-
pied work attempted in this county in
this campaign and there is little doubt
that there will be more between this and
the close of the polls next Tuesday; but
the EAGLE is glad to know that no Re-
publican candidate has been guilty of so
doing. This trading business is con-
temptible despicable, and is little less
repreheusible in the citizen than it is in
the candidate. No man who believes in
honest, fair dealing will engage in such
acts of skullduggers. 1t is simply de-
liberate attempt to sacrifice the party
for personal considerations, and they are
usually of pecuniary character. The
spirit that prompts it is the same that
caused Judas Iscariot to betray the

any political sense. His politics are not
only managed for him but it was de-
cided by the Alliance bosses, only last
week at Salina, to inaugurate gigantic
mercantile trust with twenty millions OF
Wall street money behind it, which
stores are to be sustained by members of
the Alliance. Like the grange and all
other cooperative stores, few favored
ones will reap a benefit and the multi
tudes be regularly swindled and in the
end good, well meaningssmen be utterly
ruined. The Alliance is narrow, I'M
American, class, secret and oath-bound,
which all tend to treachery, and usurpa-
ton of power. Strong hands will sue
coed the weak hands and granny brains
of the PETERS, and the monte-bank
Simpsons will flourish and grow fat
through the blind prejudices upon which
they continually play and harp. The
new President Biddle and Secretary
French in reply to the question of what
is going to be done, unblusingly declare
1--WE have been chosen to manage
the affairs of the Alliance, and we will
do So" OF course they will, but where
is the self-respecting, intelligent Ameri-
can citizen who is going to put up with
such an order of things?

DO WE ovERsrArE TIE CASE.

Kansas Is a fair land. Kansas is rich
land. Sometimes we have thought thai
Kansas may have been reserved through
the inscrutable ways of an AL Wise
Providence for the development of a
superior people who should stand as the
highest type of the worlds civilization.
Its almost perpetual sunshine makes il
the particular bright spot of earth; its
climate is the healthiest known in the
world, while its inexhaustable soil has
only to be understood to yield ever,
abundantly and continuously. Its peo-
pie have had trials, sore trials, but these
have been of character that develop
stalwart manhood, hope and self-reli-
ance. Everything seemed to be conspir-
ing to bring about an era of prosperity
and happiness, when a curse worse than
any blight, or drouth, or grasshoppers,
fell on her people from an unexpected
political source, and through discon-
tent engendered by Adventures and
demagogues. Two or three men
reached places of influence which they
have unscrupulously used to destroy the
fair fame and to discredit the good name
of Kansas aud her people. Bounteous
crops and the stream of the worlds gold
which had begun to flow back again to
her struggling people could not COM
pensate for the ISLANDERS of PETER and
Simpson and Davis who had been among
the least, the weakest and most unsign6-
cant of all the inhabitants who had
been welcomed to homes on her broad,
generous prairies Kansas in her I'M
bounded enterprise had borrowed money,
of those who had it to loan, wherewith
to develope and make great and power
full all her varied interests of production
and trade; to construct railroads more
extensively than are boosted by any of
her sister states, to found cities and to
build homes and to improve her I'M

burthened with their harvest of golden
grains and studded with orchards
and vineyards. But a shadow of
uncertainty has been thrown over Kan
sas, over her people and over all they
boast or have. How this was done and
by whom need not be explained. No
man is so dumb as not to understand
who the men are, and what the move
ment is, that threatens Kansas, threat |
ems all that she is, all that she has and |
all that she hopes to be. Is it too much |
to expect that the people will arouse
themselves to action and on next Tues
day at the ballot box stay the hand that
would destroy, by rebuking the spirit
that has dared to raise that hand against
the vital interests of a whole people.
