Along with many other people, I believe that had Mr. Ripley or the writer been in tie United States senate, either would have exercised enough judgment to at least have secured the appointment of a crossroads postmaster, aid and also had sense enough to hav: voted for one os the many good measures offered in the senate. I further believe that both Mr. Ripley and mystll compare as favorably with the peope as some of the "great lights" whose cause is at present being espoused in Kansas aad elsewhere by the senator.
