The nomination of Hon. John
Brehdenthal for governor dEs ONE of the
pest selections ever made by any par
ty IN thus state. He is a popular bust

takes his chair as governor of Kansas
he will be entirely free from any obM.

When a man comes i'm our Office,
smoking a cigar which costs him five
cents for fifteen minutes, without
benefit or enjoyment for his family,

DON'T do that way, friends, we are in
cl6ned to look on the funny side of am

we can't work good. Every man has
perfect right to stop a paper ait AMY
time without making any excuse, but

of excuse, make one that don't Leak

When Goebel was murdered in
Kentucky the republicans were loud
I'm their praise of Taylor. It was
noticeable, however, that whein it
came to nomflna ting again they over

The battle has been won. The tick
ct named is one for which no honest
self-respecting citizen will have to
blush. No apologies no excuses. no
explain atIons need to be made. From
