S. S. Cox was named Sunset" from
pretty article he wrote for the Colum-
bus, Ohio, Statesman on "a Glorious
Old Sunset The Clrcleville Herald
burlesqued the article, and Cox has
borne the appellation Sunset" ever
since.
The Abilne Gazette says: "Gov. st.
Johns course has been so discreet and
fair that many Republicans, who at first
thought they would not vote for him,
have determined to support him. They
can see no good to result from voting
against him."

Mr. Vest two years from now. Mark
the prediction.
Both branches of the legislature of
Oregon have ratified the proposed wo-
mans suffrage amendment. The vote
in its favor was unexpectedly large, it
being 81 yeas to nays in the senate and
AZ yeas to nays in the house of repre-
sentatives. The resolution had pre-
viously passed the legislature of 1880. II
now goes to the people.
Ohio is getting sympathy from every
quarter. The Cleveland Leader says that
: q prominent Republican in Fremont re-
ceived the following from his daughter
in a western state =" Father, what in
the world IS the matter with Ohio? Can
it be possible that Ohio has gone into
the hands of the Democrats? pity
you all, and may the good Lord have
mercy on the stated"
! The New York Tribune is happy be,
cause, however dissatisfied Republicans
=, may be with regular nominations, none
of them are going over 10 the Democra-
, ICY AS there are number who are SO
, far across that line that for all practical
, purposes they might as well be entirely
, over, we do not see much cause for jour.
nal protesting to be Republican to exult
Some of the Democratic organs in the
I west are so elated over the Ohio victory
I that they lose all discretion IN comment
5 ing upon it. The Lewiston Democrat
the party's organ in Fulton county, Illi-
nois, frankly credits the victory to whis-
= ky, and then says: "Now, hurrah fol-
the three Ds-the Democracy, the Dutch
and the Devil" As the Chicago jour
nal says, the dutch" ought to appIeci-
ate the compliment,
The Fort Scott Monitor has been in
formed by ian anti-St. John Republican,
who knew whereof he spoke" that the
, actual membership of the anti-St. John
club of Topeka is one hundred and
twenty. We have been informed that the
club is composed TO u large extent OF
Democrats and personal liberty OF
beer-jerking Republicans. The MEN,
bers seem possessed with the idea that
, they nonopolise all the honesty and
virtue in the Republican party, and that
they carry Kansas in their brooches
pocket.
r 1t is asserted that Congressman Ander.
, son pays his railroad fare, and will moi
accept railroad pass from any of the
commonwealth.
: We know he pays his railroad fare,
, and has done so in majority of instan-
. ces since he has been in politics. We
will be fair to the railroads and say that in
: great many instances the pass business
/ is simply blackmail on the part of the
= politician. Anderson never obtained
, passed. for single delegate to any of his
conventions, and those of the delegates
5 who may have had them, obtained them
on their own account, or through some
other source. Anderson is the only
public man in Kansas who has had an
active, earnest and determined contest
with the railroads, with a view to max
( ing them act fair, and who seems de-
, termined to keep it up.-Atchison
Champion.
