A dI.natch to the Kansas oity

Times from Topeka says: The
republicans of Harvey county,
the home of Judge Peters. are
leaving st. John in droves. They
have now circulated petitions
and received over 600 signers
calling q boilers convention to
meet at Newton on the I'd of
September, for the purpose of
seeing what can be done in the
way of defeating st. John and
the republicans who are support
ing him. The total vote OF Har :
vey county at the last election
was not over 1900. If all those
who signed this call votes the OPP
sition it will give a majority
against st. John in the county
of over 200. There is also an anti
st. John movement in Sedgwick
county.
A prominent politician of the
southwest, who is also one of St
Johns generals, stated at the
Windsor yesterday that If the re-
publicans in Harvey county con.
tinued their damnable bolt
against st. John that the st. Johr
men in the Arkansas valley vii
scratch Judge Peters and snow
him under.

The Democrats of Chatauqua
county last Saturday intheir con-
yention adopted the following
resolutions:
Resolved, that the principle
underlying the act now on the
statute book known as the prohi-
bltlon law, is in direct conflict
with the true principles of free
government, and the fundamental
doctrines of the Democratic party.
We are now as ever unalterably
opposed to the assumption OF
governmental powers which make
the citizen q ward of the state
and declare that individual liber-
ty should be restrained at that
point only where it damands Ii
cense 10 trespass upon like liber-
ty of others, or seek to infringe
upon private nights, or public
peace and safety.
Resolved, that we demand a re-
submission, of the sO-called pro-
hibition amendment to a vote of
the people. and are in favor OF
substituting therefor the right of
tho people to local option, on the
question of whether or not, the
license system, shall govern the
sale of spirituous and fer
mented liquors, in their respec-
tive localities with such prudent
legislative guards, as will abate
nuieances, preserve public order,
aud promote genuine temperance
by every ard, which experience
has proven TO be prudent and wise;
but whatever system be adopted,
ne deny the right to prescribe to
the citizen, what he shall eat
drink or wear, and insist that the
safety of the state is best insured,
by securing to her citizens, the am
pie personal liberty, compatible
with good government and coun-
table for all violations OF just
laws.

Gen. q. w. Blair, of Fort Scott.
wrote q letter to the editor of the
HoltOn Signal the other day, a
part of which the latter.took the
liberty to publish. The writer says
that he is unalterably opposed to
the Democratic party, in conven-
ton, taking any position on the
question OF prohibition, for two
re sons: one that it is not within
the domain of partisan politics,
and second that the Democratic
party is by on means a unit on
the question. "Whiskey," he
writes, "is not a blessing, and Isee
no reason on the merits of the
question, why action should
be taken. Whiskey is certainly
not a national blessing to the ex-
tent that we should cling to il
with such desperate and unyield
ing tenacity that we cannot re-
linquish our hold upon it, even
in state conventions. The saloon:
bring US no revenue, yield US nc
financial benefit, and they are
surely not such invaluable in
strumentallties of civilization
that for their sake we are willing
to forego party traditions, and ar
ray themselves against the en-
forcement OF the law" Genera
Blair is in favor OF giving the pro
hibitiory law a fair trial by from
three to five years enforcement
If, at the end OF that time 1T ad
vances the interests of temper
ence and good order he is in favor
of continuing it, and if not re-
pealing. it.

Of the intense crankism that pre-
