WEAVER, THE GREEEBACKER, GOING
TO NEW ENGLAND.

A special from Washington dated Au-
gust 20 says: Gen. Weaver, the Green
back candidate for president, who ar
rived here yesterday, left this morning
for Boston and Maine. He was asked
regarding the statement that he will op-
pose the Greenback- Democratic fusion
in Maine, and make that opposition the
burden of his speeches. He replied !:
'There are number of reports about
me. You will have to wait until my
speeches are made. They will show
what advocate
He was asked, How about Ala
bama 81 and replied: "As to that, have
no hesitation in saying that there is no
prospect whatever of a fair count and
an honest election in Alabama without
the Intervention of federal supervisors
at the polls. The Democrats down there
make no secret of the fact that they
counted out votes in opposition to their
candidates. Before the election they
made an open boast of doing this, and
then reported majority of $50, 900
which can not be explained in any other
way"
what is the relative strength. of tho
parties in Alabama9"
THE Democrats have not, upon the
most liberal estimate, more than 20, COX
votes, and yet they gave 5000 msjori
ty. The thing is absurd. The total
vote is about 700, and the combined
opposition to the Democratic party, i
il could be polfed and counted, woult
have a majority of over 2,000."

STEWART'S CHARITIES.
A Fine Lot of Gush and Arrant Humbug

A Fine Lot of Gush and Arrant Humbug
New York Cor. Troy Times.
If any proof were wanted that this is
an age of humbug itmay be found in the
so-cailed Stewart charities" The mer-
chant prince, who was hardly known
through long life of prosperity to per-
form deed of beneficence, condOned for
this parsimony by the promise of a
woman's lodging house. The public
well know what degree of performance
followed, The poor women of this city
were tantalized by expectation, but the
word of promise whispered to the ear
house was opened by judge Hilton and
Mrs. Stewart with prices double the
ordinary earnings of many a working
girl. Indeed, not one-tenth of Stewards
| female employees could afford such an
abode. To make the barrier still more
| formidable, the use of sewing machine
was forbidden, and no trunk was TO be
kept in any room. Pet birds were also
put under the ban. Such were the &C
| commodations offered to the working
women OF this city at SO per week fol
room without board. This was the grand
charity given the city in the name of thS
merchant prince, A. T. Stewart. Nc
| wonder the women of New York treated
the thing with scorn.
| Next came the good news that another
munificent charity was in store for the
public. Mrs. Stewart and Judge Hilton
had, it was said, set apart So, OOO, 600 foI
an educational institution at Garden City
Great numbers of young people who
though poor, were ambitious OF educa
ton. were cheered at the prospect of 9
cheap institution. Three million of dol
lars ought to accomplish much toward

| Should the reader, however, be desirouS
of learning the grand result, it is giver
in the circular now sent abroad by the
Rev. Stafford Drove, warden of the new
institution. He offers its benefits for thu
modest sum of $500 year. And this is
charity? Yes, complete repetition OF

ficence at good round price-after The
usual pattern of Stewards selfishness

young people for advice with regard to
education, and as special request has beer
made to me concerning the Garden City

mentioning its terms and at the same
time to express my conviction that the

THE STATE TICKET.

Our specials from Topeka yesterday
reported all the nominations on the state
ticket save that OF Mr.. II. G. Speer, of
Junction City, who Is the candidate for
superintendent of state instruction, and
Is reputed To be one of the best educators
In the state. The ticket, considered
throughout, Is one OF unusual strength,
and will command hearty support at
the hands Of Republicans throughout
the state. In saying this, We are not
obllvious of the factthat there has exist
ed feeling of strong antagonism to the
denomination of st. John, and that there
are many loyal and earnest Republicans
who would have been better satisfied had
the convention decided to place some
other candidate at the head Of the ticket.
Mr.. ID. w. Finney, the candidate for
lieutenant governor is we'll known
throughout the state, and is gentleman
whose ability and popularity attest the
wisdom of the convention in selecting n
candidate for that Office.
Judge Valentine, Auditor Bonebrake,
Secretary Of State Smith and Treasurer
Francis are too well and favorably
known to need any recommendation at
our hands, while w. A. johnson, the
candidate for attorney general,
and II. c. Speer, The candi
date for superintendent of state
instruction, meet the entire approval OF
the Republicans of Kansas and will
have their unqualified support.
There is much ut stake in the result Of
the election in this state this year, and II
behOoves every true Republican to put
aside all personal prcjudices and go in
and work with a will for the success oi
the ticket. The only question of course,
is as to the magnitude of the Rcpubli
can majority, and concentrated effort car
make this the largest that has ever beer
returned in the state. Let US all goin TO
a sweeping victory in November anC
sustain our proud reputation as beingth'
banner Republican state in the union.
