His Standard.

There is a good story told of an old
darby in one OF our southern cities.
He was standing on a street corner
with Il white man from Massachusetts
who had invested some money in the
neighborhood. While the white man
was questioning the negro about the
country the son of the negro's former
master passed by. and as he passed the
old darby snatched off his hat and
said, Good evenin'. Marse Charles"
why" said the man from the north.
do you take off your hat and call that
man Marse Charles? Don't you know
that you have as many privileges as he
has: that you can vote as we'll as he
can? You are every bit as good as he
it,"
"Oh. no. sir" said the old darby:

good as yol, is. but deed ] amt nothin'

Mike Sutton, of Dodge City, once
said that the power OF the republican
party would increase until the party
became SO pulled up with its own
greatness that it would go to pieces.
The troubles in the party at this time
would seem to indicate that the time
had come. The last split chronicled
is in the Doniphan- Brown senatorial
district. Each county had ten dele
gates and it was Browns turn to have
the senator. Doniphan agreed that a
Brown man could have the nomina-
ton provided they were allowed to
pick the candidate. After two ad-
tournaments had been taken the Brown
delegates took snap judgment on the
Doniphan people and nominated their
man before the latter had arrived on
the scene. and the Doniphan men, un-
der the leadership Of King Cyrus, de-
clare that they will name candidate
and then the contest board win have
something to do.
