CONVENTION. PLATFORM. TICKET.

That was a great ticket nominated by
the Republican state convention; grea'
in the character of its individuals. IN the
fitness of each nominee for the position
for which he was selected, and great IL
Its sectional representation.
No convention ever assembled in the
history of the state'was like 1t, either In
composition or in the manner of 1T:
work. And never was there as much OF
ability and experience. With nine hun
dred delegates composing it, like num-
Der of alternates and as many visitors,
and forty-twO candidate headquarters,
there was less confusion, boisterous hi
larity, display and buncombe, than IN
the average county convention. There
was little or no drinking and no drunk
enness or political rowdyism. From
Monday morning till Thursday midnight
an air of serious and earnest business
prevailed everywhere and marked every
proceeding of the convention. The va
rious delegations were courteous to
each other and to candidates alike.
The usual button-holing gave
place to consultations by delegations and
individual preferences of members were
subordinated to the Judgment of his
delegation which as such determined
where the county representation should
20 as whole or for whom divided.
With such great number no other line
of action was possible. The result was
that not only were the comparative t1t-
ness of each candidate dispassionately
discussed, but the claims of each section
of the state TO representation kept
strictly in view.
Thirty-five candidates of the forty-four
offering, necessarily had to submit to
defeat and disappointment, but if there
were heart-burnings they were not
evidenced, if denunciations they were
not public. Doubtless there were in
dividual members who thought that the
ticket could have been made just as
good and as strong by the substitution
of name here, or another for the other
place, but Enthusiastically majority of
the two or three thousand representa-
tive Republicans in attendance believed
beyond the peradventure of a criticism
that it would have been difficult to have
named a better ticket as whole.
The platform is Republican, pure and
simple, being in advance of the national
platform only in a single plank, which
plank expresses the convictions and de-
sires. of the west as to the protection of
the silver product and its preservation
as mouey,
The candidates are SO well known, all
being men backed respectively by
records of successful business life and
service, that it would be supererogation
to either define or praise. Three of them
have won fame and name both in war
and in the civil service of their country.
Every one of them, from Major Morrill,
and Capt. Blue down to Prof. Stanley,
is clean of life and of irreproachable
character. OF their individual deserv-
ings and abilities respectively there is
plenty of time in which to tell of them.

A GREAT RESPONSIBILITY.

From Golden Days.
Only short time ago the attention
of the whole world was concentrated
in admiration of the magnificent repre-
sentation of the worlds wealth and in.
dustrial and social progress at Chicago.
Nothing had ever made the life of man
at this epoch appear so prosperous,
happy and beautiful as this great ex-
hibition of art and industry made IT,
Within few weeks a very different
spectacle was to be presented at Chi
cago.
In one night more than eleven hun
dred houseless men went to seek shell
ter from the cold in the city hall, and
all these men lay down to rest over
night on the stone floors of that build
ing.
1t was estimated that at the same
time there We're in Chicago one hun
dred and seventeen thousand men who
were out Of employment, and who saw
nowhere any good prospect of obtain
ing work.
This was because condition which
has made itself felt throughout the
country is especially aggravated in
Chicago by the drifting to that city
during the worlds fair of many thou
sands of working people.
The close contact of so much mag
nificenoe and wealth and so much
misery is an admonition 10 those who
have TO a great degree. through their
wealth and prominence in the country's
affairs, its welfare in their hands. that
they have a terrible responsibility in

INCOMPETENT THIEVES AND LIARS.

Hon. w. F. Rightmire, the Populist
lawyer of Topeka, sends the EAGLE an
epistle which is not at all billet doux.
Its great length, linked with our indiffer-
ence as to what one Pop thinks of an
other must stand for an excuse for the
non-appearance of the delectable on
slaught. MI. Rightmire being on the
ground floor ought to know what he is
talking about. He boldly charges the
Pop state board of railway assessors
with being either incompetent negligent
or the tools of the Pullman Palace Car
company, and then cooliv proceeds to
prove that they are all three of these
things and more.
OF course the Populist party has
gathered to itself all the political irrecon-
cilables and calamity ants of the state.
and is therefore an aggregation of UNI
congenial elements and discordant indi-
viduals. Rightmire's letter is fair re-
fiex of the spirit of an ti-administra-
ton demonstration held in Topeka on
Wednesday night last. The purpose OF
the meeting was, it seems, to give the
fellows who had failed to run things an
opportunity to howl. Nothing like it
ever happened in this state. or probably
anywhere else. AS the Gins" were IN
for it. they were on hand, and loaded to
the muzle. There was, we should judge
from the report published of the wall,
not solitary level-headed or conserva-
tive man present. They called
each other liars, thieves and robbers
from start to finish. When one of the
principal orators of the evening was
proven himself to be a liar, he replied
that that fact didn't mitigate the foul
jobberies and unblushing outrages COM
mitted by the state house crowd in the
name of reform. Mr.. Rightmire's letter
is but a piece of the same cloth. While
we believe all he charges against his
commonwealers and brother walters, we
are Just as thoroughly convinced that
what they say of him is also true, and
we respectfully refer him to his own or
gans when he wants to be heard, where
his charges of corruption will be more
highly appreciated, while our readers
will be saved being told what they al
ready believe and know.

TIE EAGLES EDITOR MIsQUoTED.

The editor of the EAGLE has been
placed in a false position, by some of its
contemporaries. On the silver question
his liberal views, as freely expressed to
representative men of his party at To-
peka the past week, were twisted into
very radical ones. He did not advocate
nm endorsement of free and unlimited
coinage nor the naming Of a ratio. He
only declared that silver would be the
great question in the next national Re
publican convention and that the Re
publican party of Kansas In his judg-
ment being already for the free coinage
of all American silver, that the fact
ought to be affirmed in the platform.
He does not believe that parity depends
solely on the ratio. The fiat of the
governments credit would have very
much TO do with maintaining parity
were such free coinage restricted TO the
American product. The platform as
adopted expresses our convictions very
distinctly. The Republican party being
n party of protection and preservation
must necessarily and logically protect
its silver. y tariff on silver
equalling the difference between
the, price of foreign bullion and
the amount of the metal in our coin
would leave America with about four
millions per month of silver TO coin
which was the amount purchased each
month under the Sherman act. Our
conviction is that America is going to
have free coinage of silver whether the
balance of the world agrees or not and
that within very short time compara-
lively. England closed her India minis
solely for the purpose of deferring free
coinage IN America. Reed, Lodge and
Sherman see that with the eastern fac
tory protected the western producer will
demand protected silver, and they are
setting their sails accordingly, Reed
now says protection and silver are to-
gether. The republican party with pro-
lection for the east and silver for the
west will sweep both east and west.
With silver protected to the restrictive
point and all bills under five dollars
called IN, hundreds of millions of silver
would go into the circulation aud all
minor transactions would be with the
dollar of the daddies.
A year or two ago, in discussing this
question, We were not understood. The
Topeka Capital went so far then as to
say that we were for fiat or uusound
currency. The fiat of solvent govern
ment equals in purchasing power the
credit of that government No more
no less. The EAGLE is for the silver plank
adopted at Topeka, and was advocating
exactly that plank when the Journals
reporter. by mistake, put Us down as be-
ing for the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver at 10 TO /. Bimetallism does
not mean unlimited gold and limited
silver and the Capital and all other single
standard Republican papers will have TO

POLITICS GETTING SERIOUS.

The Northwestern University of Hi
nois invited Governor Altgeld to be
present at its commencement exercises.
1t also invited Judge Horton. Tue
Judge, who is a man of sense and prom
inence, refused.
He said frankly that he would not sit
on the platform with Governor Altgeld.
1t now turns out that a number of the
prominent men who have been invited
have refused to take part in anything
with which Altgeld has to do. Many of
the patrons of the school threaten to
withdraw their support from the uni
versity because Of the prominence Alt
geld is to be given.
This is Indicative Of wonderful
change in American political life. 1t
shows that political feeling is becoming
intense. Fifty years ago political opin-
ions and convictions were dearer to a
man than anything else. He believed
in his politics and would fight for it and
other side and avoided him. When
Henry Clay was beaten for the presi-
dency many a man in Ohio and the
older states wept bitterly and expected
the country to collapse at once.
In late years all that has changed.
Political opinion has been a thing TO
flaunt on the rostrum and in the news
papers and in good-natured contro-
yersies. But it has been cast ont from
social life, and the man who Whites an
other politically one minute, can meet
the same man in a social way the next
minute and clap him on the back as
friend.
But the political differences are be-
coming so strained and individual ad-
versity as a result of party policy so
universally common that this custom of
loving a man socially and hating him
politically may go down with crash.
Governor Altgeld is an enemy of the
republic. He panders to the dangerous
foreign Anarchist. Every public and
official act of his has shown that he does
not understand the fundamental prin-
ciples of this country and its purposes.
He is a foreigner by birth and he is a
foreigner still, respecting neither the
legislative or Judicial branches of our
system. Self respecting citizens are
right iii refusing to sit on stage with
him either in his capacity as state
executive, or as a plain citizen.
