AN OVATION TO PLUMB

who arrived home this morning from Wash

Chinese lanterns and blazing bonfires, and
everybody seemed to have turned out to the

took place. The carriage was drawn by
four white horses, and escorted by the En-

the Emporia band. The Wandering Stai
band was also with the procession. Arriv,

demonstration was stated by Mayor East.
man, who introduced Hon. J. Jay Buck, by
whom a very wcl-timed and felicitious ad.
dress of welcome was delivered, in which il
was stated that the present gathering was
composed of men of all shades OF political
belief, which was simply an expression on
the part of Senator Plumb's townsmen, of
their high regard for him as man and citi-
zen, and that the welcome thus extended to
neighbor and friend rather than to patriot.
The Senator in response expressed his graf
itude at such an out-pouring of their kind
regards, and of u very good feeling of man
ner, expressed his devotion of the now -four
ishing and beautiful city which he has seen
rise almost as if by magic, and then going
back to days when the little band of trusting
pioneers first linked their destinies with the
Young commonwealth and the new village.
He gave most graphic description of the
struggles of the early settlers in their battle
with poverty; the drouth Of 1850; the hOr-
rors of the war In which the crusade for
freedom on Kansas soil had precipitated,
and then drawing the contrast between the
Emporia of to-day and the little hamlet of
quarter of a century ago, he said it seems
incredible that what had once been but the
dream of a few enthusiastic land spectators
should have been so fully and gloriOusy

trust that l shall be able TO give some good
reason for my actions, even better than the
judge gave us on Saturday. The judge said
he could give us twenty reasons why St.
John should not be elected. but that he would
content himself with one. to wit: he St.
John, was in favor OF prohibition
1t is not my purpose TO bring in review the
whole OF the Judges speech. However.
there are Il few mistakes. or errors. to which
desire to call special attention. The first
one is as to how the prohibition question got
into politics. Judge Campbell says that it
was through the direct agency of ST. John
and his fanatical followers. And say that
it was brought about by the violation OF the
law by the liquor men of the State, and the
organization of clubs throughout the State
the members of which are pledged to work
for the repeal of both the law and the amend
ment to the constitution that if the saloon
keepers had obeyed, instead of violating, the
law, as they did and are still doing, not
prohibition splinter much less plank, would
have been found in the proceedings OF the
State convention there would have been no
occasion or excuse for it.
Thejudge stated that the masses are against
both st. John and prohibition that only the
crank politicians are for it Let us look at
this for a moment and see if the judge is
sustained by the evidence before us: The
question of st. John and prohibition was
raised and discussed in every county in the
State and delegates elected and instructed on
that issue. There were four men voted for
to fill the executive chair, to wit: st. John,
Thacher, johnson and Martin. Three of the
four, viz: st. John, Thaeher and Johnson,
viz: Martin, pronounced anti. OF the $3.50
votes east for governor, ST. John received
$50. Thacher 62, johnson -, and Martin =.

st. John 2S9, and against him -.
There is a reasonable presumption th;t
these delegates. in voting. carried out the
known wishes of their respective conStitu-
ents. and if so it seems to me that the judge
is mistaken and put his saddle on the wrong
mule. We shall see.

of thing is to be repeated in another canvass
quietly and peaceably disposed people, who
were residents OF the state in 1867, will be
likely TO seek refuge in some other locality

desire TO take such dose. If they do we
