The situation in the First district in
relation to the congressional contest has
been perplexing one to the Democrats
and Peoples party from the beginning
of the campaign. even before the nomi-
mating conventions were held. Continu-
Gus effort has been made to effect a
fusion between the two parties, but with
out avail. And although both parties
nominated candidate of its own months
ago tho leaders Of the Democracy have
never ceased in their efforts to bring
about coalition of the parties and the
Withdrawal of the Populist candidate.
Failing in this finally Mr.. Carroll, the
Democrat, withdrew two days ago, and
here is what the Atchison Patriot, the
Democratic organ of the district, has to
say about it: q
The Patriot was this morning inform
ed over the telephone by Carroll that he
handed in his resignation shortly after
his wife died, but his managers refused
to present it to thu committee. Carroll
is now thoroughly Disguised with the
manner in which things are running,
and leaves the race. Carroll is one of
the best men in the distrsct, but his
friends here think he ought to have staid
on the track, or got off six weeks ago.

ROTTEN CURRENCY.

Mr.. Frank Godfrey of Kansas City,
whose father was Wisconsin Indian
trader, presents Mr.. S. d. Jackson of this
city, with copy of the Detroit Free
Press, volume 1. number 1, of May 5,
1881. 1t was an Andrew jackson paper
and was published in the days when they
had the same kind of banking system
now demanded by the Democratic plat
form. The interesting thing about it is
a column list Of state and private banks,
giving the amount of discount in New
York on the dollar tor each bank. Every
bank in the list Shows discount of from
/ to 5 per cent. This is the money that
Cleveland and his party have declared
for.
The Peoples party want a cheaper
currency still. They are for fiat-a chip
with official spit on it.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION.

To the Editor Of the Eagle.
We see that the Ministerial association
of this city has assumed to dictate to, or
"advise" the people of this city how to
vote upon the question of holding con-
stitutional convention. They assert
that ''such convention would be attend
ed by an expense of hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars" which is false, and
shows their ignorance Of political mat
tiers. They assert that the purpose is to
"abolish constitutional prohibition of
the liquor traffic." This is also false, as
there are many other more important
changes needed IN our constitution,
ard the prohibition question
would DO submitted to a
separate vote, upon its own
merits and stand or fall as the majority
vote upon that one question. They are
willing to retard the growth and pros
perity of the state, that their own cranky
idea upon a single question may prevail.
They state that ''anv amendment to the
constitution may be submitted to direct
vote of the people and save the cost Of q
constitutional convention" This a
change of front from two years ago,
when large portion of the people of the
state asked for the submission of a con-
stitutional amendment. Then these
same men and the Prohibitionists gen.
orally over the state SAID: "The way to
reach this question is by a
constitutional convention" The last
legislature, with an Alliance house and
a Republican senate, in conformity with
this sentiment of the people saw fit to
submit this question to vote Of the peo-
pie at this coming election.
The rapid progress this state he's made
demands new constitution; the desired
developments for the future demand
new constitution. The child has out
grown the garments Of its infancy. and
should be clothed in the .habilments of
manhood. The population of this state
has become so cosmopolitan that it can
not be run upon one idea, and that idea
a very cranky one. II our Ministerial
association and our prohibition friends
are honest and have confidence in the
good people Of Kansas, they need have
no fears of the result. 1t is always safe
to trust the people. They cannot be
"fooled all the time"
The Peoples party should sustain the
action of their house and the Repub-
licans should sustain the action of their
senate; and all the people, irrespective of
party, should vote for the constitutional

Kansas City Gazette: "All over the
state of Kansas today the fields are
loaded with immense crops of corn. The
wheat crop was the largest and best ever
harvested in the state. TIE farmers
have more money in bank than in any
other state in the union. Such yields
have never before been heard of in the
whole union. Many farms have raised
more wheat this year than would pay
all the expenses Of harvesting and leave
enough surplus to pay the cost of the
farm and all its improvements" This is
no overdrawn picture, and in full view
of such conditions, such divine bene--
factions, it is very sacrilege and an insult
to Kind Providence to raise the plant of
distress and deprecation as is being done
by some in the midst who are enjoying
largely this great benefcence. 1t is
enough to call down the vengeance of
heaven

Weaver at Abba, July 10. 1866. Nom

votes, and it is the same Democratic
party, the leaders Of which are now con-
sorting with and attempting to elect, as
far as this states vote can, to the presi-
dency of the United States. Such by

Judas Iscariot turn white in the face.

HOW CALAMITY EURTA

From the Fort Scott Monitor
Before John NJ. Galloway issued his
mortgage circular some wears ago, Kan
sas had the confidence of its own citi-
zens and WAS respected at home and
abroad. The eastern man who desired
to come west came here because every
body was going to Kansas"
Although the grass hoppers and chintz
bugs destroyed the crop in 1874, which
did bring distress 10 many people of the
states, vet the people continued TO have
unbounded confidence in the state.
Their confidence was well placed, for
in 1915 the productions Of the state were
beyond all expectations, AID each year
thereafter the state PROGRESSED in wealth
and population to the amazernent of the
nation.
This prosperity caused the people to
mortgage their property, and TO indulge
In Injuries that were not conducive TO a
healthy growth OF the state. II bonded
itself heavily during It's days OF prosperity
for internal improvements and to build
school and court house, and when times
become close, the calamity bowler began
his work, which has done immeasurabie
mischief to the state.
Instead of buckling down to business
and try to help pay off these heavy loads
the political wonder" sat down on "A
stool of do nothing and began to shrek
like drowning man.
The results were property began to de-
preciate, immigration ceased, the good
name Of the state Was blasted, and many
of the people of the state became dis
couraged and hopeless.
Now if the Republicans are successful
in Kansas this year it will at once give a
different phaze to all people concerning
Kansas. The "black eye" will become
brighter, and courage and hope viii
again be reinstated among the people of
the state. A citizen of Kansas will not
then fee! as though he wanted to sell out
and leave. He will again become pos
sessed OF the feeling that IL is good
place TO live in. TO educate his children
in, and a good place 10 build up an en-
daring home.

Atchison Champions: One of the most
significant events of the campaign is the
change of front of Samuel Worthington,
one of the populistic party county COM
mittee iii Leavenworth. He was dele
gate in the Wichita convention that
nominated Lewelling, and it was on his
motion that ex-Union soldiers seconded
the nomination of Colonel Harris, an ex-
Confederate, for congressman-at-larg
He says now that the changed condition
of affairs makes him a Republican from
this time on. He says it is apparent
that the Populist party in Kansas Is be-
ing used as a mere cats-paw to elect
Democrats to congress and to restore the
solid south to power in Washington.
Mr.. Won arlington says that the old SOL
diers in the Weaver party are getting
their eyes open. and that great change
is going on all over Kansas, and that he
shall do all he can for the Republican
ticket

ANOTHER ASSASSINATION PLOT.

Ithas been developed that the Simpson
ties of the district are preparing to ex-
plode a bomb on the eve Of election
Monday or Tuesday-under Chester I.
Long which they hope will effectuaIly
do him. 1t is in the shape of printed
circulars thousands of which have been
printed and are being mailed to the indi-
vidual address Of voters in all parts of
the district, the contents of the circular
being an attack on Mr.. Longs personal
character. The scheme is to have this
trick sprung too late for it to be met by
denial and proof of its falsity. The cir
cumstances attending the preparation
OF this assassin act are sufficient of them
selves to refute the allegation and brand
it as deliberate and malicious false
hood. If it were true and legitimate it
would have been formulated and used
throughout the campaign. If there
were anything of fact affecting the char
acter of Mr.. Long it would have been
known from the first, and even before he
received the nomination, and with such
fact before 1t the convention
that nominated him would have become,
morally. party to the crime, whatever
it might be. And in the absence of any
crime on his part, to spring such allega-
tons upon him at the last moment,
when be nor his party can meet it is the
act of the assassin, and in this case at
taches as much TO the parry for which
he stands a. the representative as against
him personally.
The exact character Of the accusation
against Mr.. Long is not definitely
known. but the circumstances warrant
the belief that it is something meant to
be damaging to his character and good
name; something that may utterly ruin
him IL the good opinion and confidence
of all whom he might not be able to
reach with denial and proof of the
falsity OF the allegations. The trick ex-
poses the desperation TO which its au-
thors have been driven. They realize
that their champion is beaten, and ii
perchance they may snatch victory from
defeat they would sacrifice the repata-
ten of their opponent. which may
be worse than TO take his life.

The New York Sun announced early
in the campaign that it would support
the Democratic ticket this year and it
has made good the promise in good faith
so far as its columns could be inter
pretsd. But that does not deter the Sun
from telling the truth, even if to do SO
makes it necessary to contradict state
ments made by the party's candidate for
the presidency in public speeches. Mr..
Cleveland declared in a speech in New
York day or two ago that the Repub-
lican leaders were attempting to debauch
the voters Of the country by the I'M
stinted use of money. The Sun publishes
an authentic statement of the expeu-
ditures of money by both national COM
mittees which shows that the Democrats
have used about as much cash in the
campaign as the Republicans.
