TIE FIGHT ON The GOVERNOR.

From an article which We copy this morn
Ing from the Topeka Capital, the prohibition
organ Of this State. it will be seen that 1t j.
the intention Of the advocates OF the consii.
tutional amendment to incorporate plank
In the Republican platform this year making
this question an issue in the coming canvass,
aud definitely promulgaiing it as dogma OF
party creed. III this is the intention, II GER
tainly is move, and 4 shrewd enc, TO fur
ther the interests of Governor st. jchn and
promote his chance Tor third term. The
result will be that the friends Of the Govern
or " III go into every representative district
aud make a canvass in favor of the pro-
hibirion candidate for delegate TO the State
convention. urging that his election is i'm
peraiive to secure the necessary recognition
Of the law In the platform, and every such
delegate will be first, last and all the time
for third term for the little apostle of tenn
perance.
We predict that there will be lively time
in the next convention when the committee
on platform reports. There is no power on
earth that can prevent the temperance peo
PIE from ashtuS EtcoSultiou VI tbcit ptcui
lar idea in the doctrine OF the party, AND
then We will see how much nerve the oppo
nen,s of the amendment possess. If they
take a bold stand there will he war TO the
knife, but il they quail the st. John banner
will float VIGOROUSLY.
We also to-day print very bitter article
from the Topeka Comn,fnneaM against Gov
crnor st. John, and it suggests the though
TO us that mere abuse OF the gentleman from
johnson county will not suffice. IL his en-
einies expect to defeat him they must immc

Holiday, Bonebrake. or any one Of the 9th

WOR KING THE WIRES,
VIGOROUS USE OF ADMINISTRATION INFLUENCE
IN VIRGINIA AND MOTH CAROLINA.

VIGOROUS USE OF ADMINISTRATION INFLUENCE
IN VIRGINIA AND MOTH CAROLINA.
WAsHINeToN, October 5.-The influence
OF the administration in favor of the coali-
tloa and independent movements in Virginia
and North Carolina continues to be yipor-
ously used. Senator Malone is busily en-
gagged In making changes where they will
do the most good, and bis attention ia now
directed TO the postm ssters 10 his State. Re-
movsls and appointments follow upon his
recommendation as heretofore, and there is
but little doubt of the loyalty of those whom
ne permits 10 remain in Office He has thor
oughly searched the departments for clerks
credited 10 Virginia who do not belong there
and In every case he had them removed TO
make way for Virginia Readjusters selected
from localities where the exhibition of his
influence would be most likely to benefit
the cause. The postmasters at Crig-
lersville, Manassas and Union Mills
were removed, and Malone men APP
pointed. Could the influence of the Treas
ury department be secured to back I'D Ma
hone's ideas OF political necessity, there would
be nothing further for him to desire. The
refusal OF Secretary Folger TO resign since
MS nomination at Saratoga is a stumbling.
block IN this direction, and spoils the caIcu-
Iations OF many who were expecting hauge.
Secretary Folger does not readily acquiesce
IN ihese political plans and maneuvers, hence
tne desire 10 secure secretary more alive
to the necessities of the hour. Folger is
stubborn enough to remain, however, and
has announced that he will continue in the
Cabinet until election time, when if thew
want him out they will have to elect him
of New York. Whether or not he
can be prevailed upon to change his mind
remains TO be seen. The contest in North
Carolina is almost as close as that in Vir-
sinis, and the same influences are being
brought to bear there in the hope of ipfiu
sncing the final result Eight postmasters
were removed Monday at the re quest of lead |
ing Republican politicians, and more are
