THE LEADER TO WIN,

From the Wichita Mirror
The Republican party of Southwest
Kansas asks with all the earnestness the
political situation is calculated 10 engen-
der, that the Republican state conven-
ton on Thursday next will select as its
nominee for governor, Marshall NJ Muir
dock. In the midst of the very hot-bed
of the enemy, IN the district of Jerry
Simpson, in the home of the opposilion's
nominee for the head of the ticket.
there is a universal sentiment that with
any less popular candidate, with any less
liberal man, with anyone less true to the
people and the state of Kansas, there
will be an uncertainty about the result
in this large section Of the state, which
would have no existence with Marsh
Murdoch in the van of the battle And
as it is in The Big Seventh so 1t is very
generally throughout the state. Colonel
Murdoch is possessed of attributes which
appeal to the masses of the people. His
long years of earnest work for the state,
his unfinching fight for the people
against the railroads, his honesty
OF purpose in all he has under
taken, his unquestioned integrity
with never 4 hint of anv con
neciion with anything not strictly right
and honorable, and that iberal-miuded-
ness which does not permit him to ques-
ton the right of any man To hold his IN
divIdual opinion on any debateable Ques-
ton all these attributes especially bit

Republican column at "a time when to
achieve party success it IS necessary that
all factions and elements be cemented In

OPEN THE STRIP.

AS announced some DAYS ago the COM
mittee on territories completed its IN
quiries and consideration of the Chero-
! kee commission and submitted to the
| house a recommendation that the treaty
| agreed upon between the commission
| and the Cherokee claimants to the strip
of land bearing their name, be ratified
| by congress. The report Of the commits
| sion and recommendation of the commit
tee were accompanied by bill providing
for the opening of the strip to settlement,
which bill was placed upon the house
calander. Since that time the announce
ment has been given out from Washing
ton that the house has completed and
passed all but one of the regular appro-
priation bills and that that one has been
practically completed and may be passed
at any time.
This condition of the business of the
house clears the way for the passage Of
the strip bill at an early day. After the
passage of the appropriation bills there
is no measure left pending on the calan-
der the enactment of which is SO urgent
" demanded as the strip bill. 1t will
not only complete the series of condi-
tons precedent to and necessary for the
admission of the territory as whole to
statehood. a contamination SO devotedly
wished for by large majority of the
wide awake, intelligent and progressive
people who have taken permanent resi-
dence upon the lands that have been
opened, and an event so necessary for
the further progress and development of
the whole territory into compact, we'll
organized and self-governingc community.
And as urgent as these reasons are for
the opening of the strip to settlement,
they are not the only ones nor the
strongest. The lands in question VIII
provide homes for thousands of people
who have long and anXiously waited for
the privilege of going in and occupying
them:-lands that will become the per-
manent abode of those WHO viii improve
them and thus become contented, pros
porous and happy citizens. And not
only so, but in their settlement a bone
of contention will be removed; that, is
the cry of favoritism on the part of the
national administration towards a set of
wealthy cattlemen who are alleged 10
have been for years permitted to reap
large benefits, TO the exclusion of the
common people, by occupying the lands
with their herds.
The settlement of the strip will do
another thing that has long been the
wish of all, and remove a stigma upon
the territory that has compromised the
good name of the whole territory for
years, and that is it will speedily close the
strip to outlawry and as retreat for
outlaws. In no other way can this be
done, and the best interests of society,
the peace, good order and safety of
person and property in the territory and
the contiguous country surrounding, all
demand Tie opening to settlement of the
strip lands at the earliest possible mo-
ment
There is not an agreement worthy the
name in favor of further delay in this
most important matter, but it is impera-
lively demanded by every worthy con-
sideration.

The Atchison papers lay great stress
upon the circumstance that the trial of
the Symns case has developed the fact
that out of $50 towns in Kansas the in
terror jobbers of the state have the adj
vantage in 302. In the estimation of the
Missouri people the advantage is a
great outrage upon their prerogatives SO
long tolerated by the state; but they
have never a word to say about the adj
vantages the Missouri river jobbers have
over the interior wholesalers at the 1853
other towns. In their estimation this
advantage is all right and as it ought to
be. 1t will be mighty hard to convince
the unprecedented away from the basing
line that the orders of the railway COM
missioners against the practices Of dis
eliminating in favor of the Missouri river
people is not right and proper.

1t is evident that there is going to be
less of the "whoop and hurrah'' in the
pending national campaign than in any
that has preceded it fuor a quarter of a
century. A campaign of education has
been waged throughout the country for
several years, and at no period in the
history of the country have the masses
of the people been so thoro'ly informed
on the great economic questions of gov
eminent as they are today. The spread
of knowledge through popular education
is mainly the cause of this. The Ameri-
can people are reading public. They
keep themselves posted upon the facts
and occurrences of the times and form
their own conclusions. Herein lies one
of the strongest auguries of success for
the Republican party in the issue now
joined,

Hon. W. w. Martin, state agent of
Kansas in Washington, informs the To.
peka Capital that the only claim of the
state of Kansas now being pressed by
him before congress that stands any
show of being favorably acted upon is
the Price raid measure which calls for
an appropriation of 100000. This bill
has been favorably acted upon by the
house committee and is now on the
house calender. Congressman Funston,
the author of the bill, will endeavor to
have it come to vote before the adj
journment of congress, and if it ever
gets into the senate the bill will pass.

Ben Buffers opinion of the result of
the pending campaign is good deal

cording to his estimate Harrison and

were four years ago. The inference
from this is that in that far away look

Ii seems that June % is a memorable
dale in the history OF the Democratic
party. June %, thirtv-two Years ago,
there were two Democratic tickets
nominated-one convention nominating
Stephen \. Douglass and the other John
c. Breckenridge. What this action Of
the party resulted in tie whole world
well knows. On June % of this year
Grover Cleveland, in spite Of the fact
the delegation of his Own state was
against him, and fought ham with fire TO
a finish, was nominated under the two
thirds rule.

a LOST OPPORTUNITY.

In referring to campaign for the NOM
ination at Chicago in its personal bear
ings as to candidates. and ambitious, the
Chicago Times observes that the situa-
ton afforded Mr.. Cleveland certain adj
vantage. Aspirants for the presidency
who. are young enough to wait do not
lose sight of the fact that Dir. Cleveland
cannot if chosen be a candidate for re-
election, and it is not their cue to antag-
onize a man already possessed of ma
jority of the convention, who, if presi-
dent, may be in the mood to help or
harm them accordingly as they now
bear themselves toward his ambition for
the nomination of 1892 The fact has
its influence upon German, Russell,
Campbell and Pattison, who might
otherwise be strongly supported in their
respective states"
That is certainly logical and good pol
itics, and it is the view that we believed
David Hill took and would act upon in
ent and future; but either his vaulting
ambition or the spirit of revenge inn
PEELED him far beyond the bounds of
reason, so far that there is no retreat for
him. and he will prove himself a craven
trucker If he fails 10 pursue the only
logical course open to him, i. e., in pull

who comprised his defeat. 1t is too
late now for him to swing into line and
Loyalty support Cleveland, and it is con-
trary to his nature and his antecedents
to expect him to do so. The others mem
toned may be all right for the future,

man Clover the cold snub) is claimed to
be an ex-Democrat, and on that account

We don't know how Democrats feel
about it, but it seems to us that they
would feel more kindly towards an ex-

joined the new party, thereby taking a
step away from their strongest opponent,
than they would towards man who de-
serted their party and joined their avow-
ed enemy. Those who have any regard
for political principle or party prestige
cannot but feel thus whatever may be
their actions
