We are free to admit that to assume the editorial responsibility of two separate and distinct newspapers of opposite political faith "at long range" would subject Mr. CockerelFs peculiar nervous temperament to a mental strain not easily withstood; and then, oscilliating as it were, from one with a view to a later political advantage. No doubt acts which will not bear too close scrutiny have been done by the strip officials, but we hardly think the situation is as grave as the Journal's reports would lead ono to believe.

That tho opening was bunglingly managed, we have not a particle of doubt, but we cannot believe that the cold-blooded cruelties charged by tho Journal correspondents are true. If they are, a lot of those fellows ought to hang. Tiit; ticket nominated last Thursday by the Republican county convention is a good ono and one too that can be elected if the Republicans dy their duty and make a dignified campaign without entering into a campaign, of vituperation and abuse. There is nothing gained by bitter personalities in a local paign, and the result of bitter personal attacks upon individuals frequently result iu their election by votes cast to rebuke that style campaign. abled Union soldiers and sailors, tneir widows and dependants; not only as a duty we owe the brave old soldier, but as a particular duty this great Nation owes its defenders.

The Republicans of Cherokee county met in delegate convention at the opera house in this city to-day and nominated a ticket to be voted for at the November election. There was a large representation arid every precinct of the county was represented by a full delegation except PleasantView.

The call of the convention was for 274 delegates and of this number 260 were present. The greatest enthusiasm and the utmost harmony prevailed throughout the entire deliberations, The convention was called to order precisely itt 11 o'clock by A. S. Dennison chairman of the central committee and the call for the convention read by the secretary, J. C.

Atkinson. The tetnporarv organisation was form but the Kansas City Journal has revived it in one of its regular growls at the Times, and other papers in the ulver section?

When the convention had completed its labors, Hon. F. Dawes, oi Clay Center, was Introduced and talked for one hour and forty-five minutes to an appreciative and highly delighted audience. Time forbids special mention nere, but as a great marly of the people of Cherokee county have heard him they will know that he did his whole duty. At the close of the speech three cheers were given Mr.

DaweS that fairly shook the house. Before adjourning the following resolution was introduced and adopted, with a cheer equal to that given Mr. Dawes; It reads: We, the Republicans, of Cherokee county, In delegate convention assembled and citizens send our congratulations to Col, Hughes for his dishonorable discharge from the militia by the despotic Lewelling usurpers.
