Fusion Felicity.


a monkey and parrot episode is re-
ported at Americas Monday afternoon,
on the occasion of Mr.. Lynn's so-called
expose of the alleged judicial fraud in
this district. While pouring out the
Yials of his wrath upon certain parties
in this city. who, he said, were working
against his election, Mr. Lynn made
the statement that he had been duped in
the matter of the bond suit, which, he
declared had. in his Judgment, been in
stituted and carried on for political pur-
poses, and that the parties which had
been instrumental in its prosecution had
sold him and his partner out, through
the agency of Snoddy, whose business
it was to cali off the dogs when
the purpose for which the proceedings
had been instituted, had been accom-
plished- As this everlastingly knocked
the wind out of the fraud yell
with which the "reformers'' in
the present canvass have been hound
ing Sedgwick, Mr.. William A. Ran
dolph, the candidate for county attorney
on the Fusion ticket, who CHANGED to be
in the house, arose and accused Lynn of
selling him out and trading with Sedg-
wIck's friends. whereupon scene en-
sued which is characterized as double
distilled richness by those who were so
happy as to be there TO see. While the
editors of what is denominated by Esk-
ridge, Randolph & Co. as 'vile, lying
sheet" may contemplate these ardent
amenities among the mongrel candidates
with much the same degree of compos-
ure with which the Indiana woman
noted the progress of the. struggle be-
tween her husband and the bear, the
public viii doubtless be soreIY afflicted
to learn that the unselfish measures in
stituted by the Fusionists to unearth the
fraud and corruption Of the "ring'
are not marked by that effective
measure Of harmony and singleness of
purpose which should characterize all
purely reformatorv movements

HnlInu ZEN at CnIdees

The merry and time-honored festival
of hallow cen was very pleasantly cele-
brated at Culdees, the country residence
of w. J. Higgins, on last Saturday
night, by party of Emporians who
avai.ed themselves of the hospitality of
their kind entertainers, and yielding TO
the mirthful spirit of the occasion en-
joyed happy evening in the practice of
all those amusing vagaries which have
attached time immemorial to this an
cient anniversary The matrimonial
horoscope was cast for the young folks
of the party, one stately bachelor was
converted into burnt-cork end-man by
a mysterious process of mesmerism, and
many other laughable diversions were
crowded into an evening which will
long be remembered by all who particIpa.
ted in its festivities as one OF rare sport
and thorough enjoyment.

the pit of his stomach, and yielded up
his last hope in the salvation of the

snd their GraEd Triumph in Enporia-
While hints have been given, from
time to time, of the ladies temperance
organization to which they have given
much Of their time during the last two
weeks, the real work they have been
planning and systemizing has been kept
com paratively quiet; but when the day
for the battle had come, the end toward
which their deliberations had tended
was plain.
We are informed that at their meetings
the advisability of several different
methods to aid in carrying the amend
ment was discussed. but true to their in
stlncts of intelligent ladies at the time
of a crisis, less effective plans
were voted down and the Drawer
one OF going into the center of the fight
was adopted. Accordingly, shortly after
the opening of the polls yesterday, a
number of our worthiest, most intelli-
gent and leading ladies took their places
at the polls and went quietly and eaI-
nestly and we believe prayerfully to
work for the amendment, and that alone.
In their minds the Second and Third
wards and the voting precinct at Fow-
lers were the places most likely TO give
3 majority against il, and right into
the midst of whiskydom they went. And
it is the verdict of all right minded men
that we have never had so orderly an
election day; at the polls where drunk
enness and profanity have heretofore
prevailed more or less, good order and
sobriety were noticeable. The ladies say
they heard not a profane nor otherwise
rude word during the day. And We
wish every true man in town had
witnessed the dignifled bravery of these
ladies, some of whom are proverbially
modest and timid. But this cause was
near to their hearts and give
US a true woman for effective work
under those circumstances. There
was quite a number out as it was, and
reinforcements were coming in at diff
erent times of the day, but the supper at
the hall, and duties aud sickness in
many homes kept many away whose
hearts were in the work.
The credit of the large majorities for
the amendment at the doubtful polls Is
unanimously accorded the ladies who
worked them.
After what we saw yesterday, we feel
constrained to say that we believe Kan
sas works against her own interests by
not extending the right of suffrage to
intelligent ladies. Let US have, first, an
amendment making educational ability
the qualification for voting. and stand
ing beside it, one to extend the right to
qualified ladies. We should like to see
Kansas take the front rank in this next
great step that is sure to come. B.
