The Humboldt Inter-state, one of the brightest democratic papers in southeastern Kan-Bas, thuseutliusisticalty greets the Democratic state ticket: "The State democratic ticket, headed by the gallant and veteran Thomas Moonlight, together with all the officers thereon, presents to the people of Kansas the best ticket that lias ever been put into the field. Every man on it is an old soldier, and for representa tive, progressive and stalwart democracy it challenges the admiration of all who read it; and especially do the colored voters of Kansas feel proud of the signal recognition they have received by the democracy, and honestly disbeliove in that party which heretofore has kept them out of office, through false promises, never fulfilled pledges of the republican party, which prejudiced mankind against every one that did not bow to its dictation, usurpation and hypocritical use of the colored vote to feather their nest'of monopoly, class legislation, land grant robbery, favoritism and enslavement of the masses alike without regard to color or previous condition or independence.

"To say that this ticket is not to bo victorious is but to repeat the stereotyped echo of the good old party, whose political corpse lies buried in the crypt of every human being that has been lash-od with the whip of aristocratic, gold bug moneyed politicians. This ticket stands upon the grandest platform of principles ever uttered by any party. And to-day republicans are accepting it, praising, and when the sun goes down on election day it will be adopted and the standard bearer of the pure democracy will be elected and inaugurated as governor of Kansas. "We heartily support the tioket and recommend its entire adoption and election by All the voters of Kansas, without any regard to party, or previous conviotions, practices or declarationt of opposing conventions. It is right, it is good, it will be elected." Reserve your work for Shiv-ely, the magnetic tooth Is one of only two counties in the World that over produced 50 bushels of corn per acre.
