we're started out. Aud Merritt went
forth and plesd-at the eleventh hour!
Why did he not ask for Inducements
here beforel
he wanted to sneak into the Office,
This is bad politics.
It is a bad precedent.
1t is shameful.
When County Attorney Tracy, Capt.
Ben. Huey and the editor Of The
TINES went to Topeka and protested
against Merits appointment, with
Chairman julie CoddiDg's indorse-
ment Of the protest, giving as the
reasons Of the republicans Of Potta-
watJmie county that Merritt was I'M
fit politically (he had done nothing to
earn the appOintment); that he was
morally corrupt-his fellow deacon in
the same church denounced him as a
periurer; and that the republicans Of
Pottawatomie county had noticed the
great desire he manifested for Office
the first half year he pretended to be
a republican, and that his home had
repudiated him by vote Of three to
one but year ago for the little Office
of mayor of Wamego, still Governor
Morrill, must hunt an excuse for his
appointment; and it was then that he
notified Merritt that somebody" must
Endorse" him at home. These in.
dorsements had never before been
called for! Why2 Simply because
Merritt had been slated by Oy. Lee
land, and now an excuse must be at
hand when the rank and file or more
than two Thousand republicans Of
Pottawatomie county, every one of
whom had earned more than this
bankrupt option dealer had ever ex-
pected TO, send up loud, long pro-
test against such rotten methods.
What encouragement can the young
republicans of Kansas expect when
the official patronage Of the whole
state is turned over to one msn-an
acting governor?
Isn't it disgustingl

A Rocking, Rotten Scheme.
The old-time, working republicans
of Pottswatomie county repudiate Cy.
Lelsnd's Endorsement and Governor
Morrilps appointment Of A. O. Mer-
rift, a schemlng renegade from the
democratic camp, as gram inspector
for the great state of Kansas. Mer-
rltt's record was given Governor Nor
rill by delegation from this county
when it dRwned upon our people that
he was likely to be appointed, aud the
governor cannot credit the appoint
ment to the republican party Of Pot
tawatomie county. Cy. Leland is
alone responsible, and the feeling here
among the old-time republican war
horses is anything but friendly to
Governor Morrill, for his weak action
What encouragement does this sort
of work give those who helped re-
deem the state? What excuse can
be offered for MerTitHs appointment?
None whatever. But few republicans
with whom we have talked had the
manhood to acknowledge that they
had Endorsed Merritt, man who
could not be elected to any Office in
Pottswetomie county, especially since
bis verv questionable transactions
with his deceased brothers widow be-
came generally known, aud which
should be ss thoroughly known
throughout the state rs here. We
warned Governor Morrill,, as did
otherp, all reliable men, but Cy. Lee
lands edict went forth and Merritt
had to be appointed-as Sol. Miller
had to he on the board of public
works. It's certainly sorry scheme,
for Morrill, must bear all the criti-
cisms.
Well, Merritt has made bis relig-
ious racket work-the lowest, mean.
est scheme that ever was followed by
a wolf in sleeps clothing. He ought
to hide his cheek in shame.

that be must have some Endorsements

crawl behind), A. s. Kemper, demo-
cratic chum, IA member of the demo-
cratic state central commtttee) and

EVEN Brother McNay, who hardly
ever finds fault with his party, says;
We are sorry that it has become
necessary for us to enter complaint
against the present administration in
some Of the very reckless and nom
American appointments that have
been made. At this time we will only
speak of the blunder the governor
made IN the appointment Of j. Eng
land Challenor as state accountant.
This gentleman came from England
only five years ago and took out his
last naturalization paper only about 6
days before be received his commits
sion from the governor and after he
had been assured of the position
should Le become a full Aedged
American. The ADVOCATE is down on
such appointments and cannot find
language to express its wounded feel
ings towards the chief ruler of our
great state in making such foolish
break. When au alien ia sought after
and chosen to fill an important Office
as against snch honest and capable
men as W. H. Nelson. OF Smith Cen
ter, one OF the best men Of the north
west who has gwen twenty years of
his life to the building mp of Kansas
and the republican party, W. j. Pat
terson, of Harper county, aud W. j.
Stagg. of Topeka, then We enter
vigorous kick and believe every loyal
republican IN this part of the state
will stand by us. Why the governor
should turn down these three excel
lent gentlemen, One of them being
an old soldier, and pick up an En-
gllshmaD, who ten days prior to his
appointment expressed desire and
of returning to his ma
tive country is more than even an an
gel can conceive Of or understand.
Neither Of the three defeated candi-
dates expressed desire or wish Of
leaving America nor even Kansas
when the black plague of populism
was abroad in our beloved land, when
the bright countenance Of Providence !
WAS turned against ms and the ID
with his forked tail proving around
like a roaring lion seeking whom he
might tickle under the chin. We are
Americans for America, Kansans for
Kansas and will fight it out upon this

ANOTHER howl goes up over the ap-
polntment OF a state architect.
For some reason says the Capital
the State Board Of Public Works sud-
denly decided to select State Ar
chitect Saturday afternoon and elect
ed I. II, Lescher of Topeka to sue
coed Seymour Davis, which he will
do today. Mr.. Davis is ready to va
cate the Office.
The members Of the board an
nounced Thursday afternoon that
they would elect an architect the first
OF next week when they would meet
with the executive council and con-
slider the appointment. A reporter
for the Capital asked Hon. John Sea-
ton yesterday why the members had
changed their minds and he SAID they
had decided to relieve the suspense.
1t is publicly charged that Mr..
LesCher is populist, A prominent
republican said last night that he had
heard Lescher boast that he had paid
$500 to the populst state central COM
mittee campaign fund. Others charge
that Lescher is u democrat and the
consesensus Of opinion places him in
the ranks of the demo-pops. There
is much criticism on account of the
appointment,
The position IS worth $4,000 per
year and 3 cents per mile for travel
ing expenses.

IT IS now certain that several men,
bers of the administration will take
prominent part in the political cam
paign over the money question that
will be carried on in different states,
The invitation Of the Chicago bust
ness men to President Cleveland, ask
ing him to make an address in that
city on the subject of the currency
has been followed by intlmations from
other places that the mewbers Of the
cabinet were wanted to make similar
addresses in order that the position
Of the administration may be placed
before the country in a most forcible
way. The president has not yet ans.
wered the Chicago invitation, but If
he finds it impossible to go, it is ex-
pected that he will decline IN a letter,
expressing clearly his views on the
5unJecb OF money
The campaign within the demo-
cratic party against the free coinage
movement will no doubt take its key
note from the presidents letter, and
the speeches which may be made by
members Of the cabinet The cam
paign will be directed against the
free coinage Of silver at 16 to !, and
the assertion will be made that such
coinage would mean silver monometal-
lism, and would be disastrous to the
business interests Of the country,
great and small, and extend to every
class and condition, no matter in what
pursuit engaged.

The reception given to Gen. j. B.
Gordon, of Georgia, by our citizens
last Tuesday was commendable. The
city schools were excused and the
scholars and teachers turned out in a
body. The processirn formed at the
depot headed by the cornet band and
marched to the public square and
around the east and south side to the
public school building, where the
General gave those that had as
sembled short, but an apprecistive
address. BY $3.50 p. m. the large
opera hall was filed almost to its full
capacity. The orchestra composed of
II. NJ. Hicks, Leonard Wilson and II.
d. Van Horn rendered two or three
most excellent selections after which
Post Commander j. II. Carter intro
duced the speaker who held the au-
dlence almost spell bound for over
two hours. The address was MASTER
ly aud his eulogy of both the generals
aud private soldiers north and south
was most complimentary. The lee
ture was literary treat to our peo-

Now that the attention Of the pub.

irrigation, the people of Phillips

hear the question discussed by some
of the most practical and successful
irrigationists of the state. The
speakers will probably be:

editor of the Irrigation World;
JUDGE j. S. EMORY,
National Irrigation Lecturer;
e. R. MOSES,
of Great Bend, one of the most sue
cessful men in Kansas;

GREAT TRUNK LINE.
DESTINY OF THE UNION PA
CIFIC.


New York, Oct. ia special to the
World from Washington says the report
# the government directors Of the I'm
on Pacific Railroad company has been
II the hands of the secretary Of the In
erior for the past three days, and 1t Is
understood that 1t will be made public
to-da. Its recommendations will act as
cold bath to the plan Of reorganiza-
ton proposed by the reorganization COM
mittee. That plan seems to have been
constituted practically without regard
to the government debt, while the report
Of the government directors proposes n
plan whereby the government may be
reasonably sure Of the payment of a
large percentage, If not all, of the debt
due it., by not only the Union Pacific,
but by the Central Pacific.
The basic proposition on which the re-
port Is made is the consolidation of the
Union Pacific and Central Pacific rail-
roads into II single trunk line. extending
from Omaha to San Jose, California,
thus connecting the Pacific coast with
one of the principal railway centers of
the Mississippi country by the
shortest line In existence, and with am
pie terminal facilities at each end.
1t is held that the lease Of the Cen
trail Pacific by the Southern Pacific can
be broken and set aside. This done,
the way will be clear for the plan of re-
organization, with the two roads tdeat-
ed rs one. 1t is shown that even In the
year Of the panic the net earnings were
about S7,50O,00O, sufficient to pay . per
cent. of the S100,O00OO0 of bonds, and
leaving $2,500,000 for distribution
among the shareholders. If this show
ing can be made with the Central Pa
cifc, worked solely for the profit of the
Southern Pacific, and the Union Paciiic
consequently starved by deprivation of
its rightful sources of income, 1t Is ar
gued that with the two roads worked
in harmony, the enormous traffic that
would Immediately pass over them
would at once increase their earnings
to figures equal to, If not In excess of.
those Of their prosperous days.
1t is pointed out that under the pro-
posed consolidation the interest of the
Eastern trunk lines centering at Omaha
will be at once gained, and 1t is suggest
ed that II an open proposition were
made by the government TO lease or
sell tile combined system to that trunk
line or combination of capitalists which
would pay to the government the largest
amount on the combined Indebtedness
of the two roads above minimum fixed
at. 1t Is suggested SI5,OOO,0OO, there
would be strong competition TO secure
control.
This plan, as outlined by the govern
ment directors, has been pronounced
feasible by high officials of the Union
Pacific. In California especially has the
project been strongly Endorsed within
the narrow circle of those to whom 1t
could be submitted in confidence prior
to the publication of the report.
A bill has already been drawn by one
of the government directors 10 carry out
the object sought, and II will he sub
mitted to the secretary of the interior,
the secretary of the treasury and the at
torney general for approval. If favored
by them II will be introduced early In
the coming session OF Congress.
