law which said he must not come at
them fer third term.
The chairman next introduced
HON. ISAAC SHARPE.
Of Council Grove, whom he said ran for |
governor Al the wrong lime. Mr..
Sharpe spoke in light. jovial strain all
through and much amused the audience
he said he had been in Emporia of and
on for the past twenty-five years, aud he
had never felt good here until nov.
HON. JOHN MARTIN
followed Mr. Sharpe and said be was
not a stranger 10 the people of Emporia,
and many pleasant memories fingered
with him concerning this place and
people. He thought it rather peculiar
that city once containing so few Dem
ocrals should nominate the first Demo
cratic governor Of the state Of Kansas,
and then hold such grand and glorious
jollihcation as This was.
In speaking Of the platform on which
Click was nominated and fought in the
campaign, he said il was one of true and
grand principles, and one that could be
honored and supported by all good citi-
zens all over the state, and the result OF
the election was such as to show that
the campaign was fought or the correct
principles. The people, ne believed,
were not in sympathy with many OF the
laws enacted by the followers OF St
John, and they would eventually
be stricken from the statute books, and
laws in accordance with their wishes
would take the place OF those now SO
obnoxious. Prohibition and woman
suffrage were questions that would
never come up again as issues in a
campaign with either party in Kansas
They were dead issues, as they ought &c
be, for the people had said as much a
the polls week from last Tuesday.
AS did those who preceded him, Mr.
Martin said that Clicks election wal
not a party triumph, but victory o
the people over prohibition, woman suf
irage, bossism, third termisn and al
other isms. At the conclusion 0
his speech he was presented
with basket Of beautiful
/ flowers, the gift OF several ladies. IL
, accepted the gift in short speech
paying woman. kind in general glow
ing tribute.

was one that would not go down
T SO he did not undertake TO swal

TO help jollify with him and his friend
over the success they had achieved. II
