The Index isn't in this representative
fight and doesn't propose to get in, but
as matter Of news it will do no harm
to say that the Cresset's criticism Of Hon.
Samuel Griffin arraignment Of the ma
chine is sufficient to cause one to smile.
Evidently, the Cresset editor was too busy
to consult theHouse Journal else he would
not have given the reason he did why
Representative Gesner voted against the
primary bill at the regular session and for
it at the special session. The reason as
signed for his voting as he did was on
account OF the clause relating to the sem
atorial nomination. 1t may interest the
Cresset to know that the Stubs bill
adopted by the House in the regular
session and the bill by the same author
at the special session were verbatim IN
this respect, yet, as Mr.. Griffin charges.
Representative Gesner voted against the
bill at the regular session and for it at the
special session. Our guess is that during
the interim Mr.. Gesner got his ears close
to the grass roots and heard that distant
rumbGng which has now developed into
disastrous political volcano and this, no
doubt, decided him to turn a somer-
sault. The Cresset's justification Of Ces-
ners vote on the ant-pass measure is
really ludicrous. AS matter of fact
Gesner stated In the last campaign that
he was opposed to an ant-pass law and
his opposition to the measure should prob
ably not be held against him, but to saw
that It was on account Of protecting stock
shippers is foolish. Every shippers con-
tract contains this provision and has no
relation to an ani-pass measure, but If
Cesne. thought an anti-pass law would
deny shippers the night to accompany
and care for stock, It would have been
easy for HIM to have offered an amend
ment covering his ideas. But Bl forsot.
We think when Sam asserts that BIN
voted against al the important measures
that the people Of Kansas wanted he has
