EAGLES GATHERING AROUND A PRO
sPECTIVE CARCASS.

tlOps TO be filed next year by the grace
OF Che voters Of Kansas. One OF the Re
publican qaid names presents the follow
Ing gosslpy matter:
REPRESENTATIVES, IN CONGRESS AT LARaR.
The last campaign gave opportunity to
many to come to the front in their endeav-
Ors TO make the mass Of voters believe no
mistake could possibly be made in selecting
particular persons. Some Of them are
good, some Indifferent, and others positive
ly bad, but here they are: J. r. Burton, Of
Abilene; Joe Ady, of Newton; ]. r.. Halo
well, of Wichita; s. s. Benedict, Of Wilson
county; J. G. Mohler, Of Salina; George i.
Anthony, of Ottawa. In the list may be
found proteCtionists, free traders, silver
men and gold bugs.
1t would seem to be pretty free and
and easy comment on the foregoing list
by q Republican. "Some Of them are In.
different, and others are positively bad"
But here is q continuance: ~
FIRST DISTRICT. 3d
While some Republicans are favorable to
q second term for Hon. Case Broderick,
who has not yet taken his seat, Hon. A. ].
Felt, OF Seneca, will 60 into the next con-
ventiOn determined to grasp the First dis
trict banner. There are others hinted at,
but they have not reached the Virulent stage
Of the disease. Their friends, however, will
assist nature, and soon Kansas win have the
pleasure of seeing the names Of familiar
"old timers"
With a Peoples party increased vote
in LeavenwoTth county Of 80; In Jackson
Of 342; in Jefferson of 343, and In Atchi-
son Of $40, in a considerably diminished
vote from last year, the chances for Re-
publican plurality may be very poor In
the First district next year.
But the following is the matter for the
SECOND DISTRICT.
The truce entered into by E. H. Funs-
tom and R. w. Blue, over in little town in
Missouri, has expired by limitation, and the
latter will seek the nomination for Con-
gress. Contrary to the agreement entered
into, Mr.. Funston will seek denomination,
although he would stay out Of the race il he
can be guaranteed the nomination for gov
ernor, which he would like to have two
term before returning to Congress from
this district. These bwo gentlemen are
likely to have some trouble with Eugene
Ware and William Rice both of Fort Scott,
who are said to be grooming for the race.
With an increase Of Peoples party
vote Of 110 in Allen, 232 In Linn, and 51s
In Bourbon, the chances Of Blue, Funston,
Rice and Ware might be thought to be
improving, saying nothing Of 1000 In
WyAndotte.
But here ls southeastern Kansas spec
ulatlon: 8@
THIRD DISTRICT.
State Senator S. s. kirkpatrick, of Ere.
donia, wants TO 60 to Congress, and has
Candidly told his friends 80. He admits the
nomination belongs to any person, as q
matter Of right, and therefore has been
showing the voters Of this district what
kind Of man he is, and he is pretty good
sort. B. w. Perkins, who has served eight
years and then turned his district over to
clover, feels that the new crop was one Of
mistaken judgment, and now desires to
plow IL up. Governor L. q. Humphrey has
not signiHed his intentions, but his friends
and his appointees in this district are feel
ing the public pulse.
Running this beauty of notorious
Fredonla lawyer, whose fees come manly
from usurers, wouldn't that be q "thing Of
beauty and Joy forever" for the going
