Gov. ST. JOHN, of Kansas, has
published an article correcting an
erroneous impression regarding the
prohibition law IN that State, when
is to take effect the 1st of Nav.
He says the law does not interfere
with the sale Of any tinctnre or
compound used solely for medicinal
purposes, MOI does the law prohibit
the manufacture of perfumery that
is not used rs a beverage; nor does
it directly OIL indirectly prohibit the
use of wine in the sacrament of the
Lords Supper. All reports to the
contrary are instigated and %circnla
ted by the whisky ring to try and
break the force OF the law.

Glen. III. p. Hurst, q native Missis-
sippi Republican, has written n letter to
the President in which he asserts that
the combination formed between Re-
pnblicnns and Creenbackers in his

the Federal offices for the leaders in
the coalition; that these leaders haye
no substantial following among the
white voters of the State, that they
look only to n consolidation OF the ne
gro vote, and that nothing OF impor-
tance to the State or TO the country can
come of the movements IN its present
hands. H5 thinks only t@o plans are
open for The chance Of ultimate snc-
cess. These he Describes as follows:

Young men oil nerve, character, nntried
ability and INFESTED strength; young
men who have always been favorable
to the party. but have never appeared
prominently before tie puhlic as Re
publicans owing to the fact that they
have never bold nor wanted an Office,
and therefore have been a little modest
in asserting their political belief in a
State where it has been no honor to be
known IA a Republican. Such men

backed strongly by influential white
friends. would disarm BouTbonism OF
