The Republican PARTY Of Kausa. Saved,


The supremacy Of the Republican party in
Kansas, established by the pioneers, and unbro-
ken until now, went under a cloud, last Tues
day-went there by Republican votes, for the
salvation of the party. The Republican party
had fallen into alien hands, and was controlled
by soft-headed prohibition cranks, hard-cheeked
women, and Methodist camp-meetings. Repub-
licanism was discarded, and the old-time Repub-
licans were commanded to swear fealty to church
creeds and the isms of bigsts and fanatics. 1t
conld be brought back to first principles only by
the defeat of the Old Man of the Sea, whe was
astride its back, with his clutch on its throat.
That has been done, and done thoroughly. Now
the party can rise once more, and resume its
former power.
Clicks majority in the State will be from 10 900
to 1000. Every County on the eastern line Of
the State, with the possible exception of Linn,
goes for Click. He carries every County between
the Kansas River and the Northern line Of the
State, as far west as Clay and Republic Counties.
From present indications, st. John does not carry
over ten or a dozen Counties. What terrible
fall, from the time when his partisans over
whelmed the State Convention, treated a respect
full protest with derision, and insulted every
one who would not bow down to the contempti-
BILE demagogue. They presumed upon the 10y
atty of the immense Republican majority in the
State, but they mistook its temper.
The Republicans elect the balance of the State
ticket, by the usual majority, and also the four
Congressman at large. The three District Con-
gressnen are also elected, with a close vote in
Haskell's Distrist.
The Democrats and Independent Republicans
elect majority of the members of the Legisla-
ture. As the old Senate holds over, this will
prevent the repeal Of the prohibtory law; but
as the Senate was n very reasonable body, this
revolution may induce them to submit to allow
ing the obnoxious aud outrageous features of the
liquor law being repealed or modified. But with
a continuance of the determination that carried
the day this time, entirely new Legislature
can be elected two years hence, that will not
only wipe out the prohibtory law, but will re-
submit the amendment to the people, which will
result in its defeat

= The Republican disasters in Ohio, Kansas,
Iowa and Indiana, can be traced directly to pro-
hibition crankism; but who can say that the
same thing was not the cause OF defeat in every
other State except New York and Pennsylvania,
and even in those States, to great extenti Re-
member that Senator Plumb, of Kansas, in At
of cheap demagogism, offered resolution in
Congress in favor Of National Prohibition. This
was warning that the whole country was in dam
ger of being afflicted with the Kansas bad dsor-
der, and the people, thinking prevention better
than cure, swamPed the party that fostered and
encouraged the nuisance. The Republican party
will now have all it can do to get on its feet
again, and will quit fooling with crankism, for
some years to come.

ts- Chester Thomas, of Topeka, is rs rich a
source to quote from as Shakespeare on the Bible.
The st. John fellows might draw upon him for
words to express their feelings ON the situation.
A few minutes after the dispatch was received
Announcing the performance of York and the de-
feat of Pomeroy, we encountered Chester in the
National Hotel, at Washington. Said he !:

II Perhaps some men will not agree with us,
bat it has been our idea that the resolution
adopted by the Convention that nomidated Mr..
Drennng for Representative, instrncting him
for Plumb for Senator. was not any advantage
to Dreaming. Three-fourths of the voters of the
District declared they would not vote a ticket
that had ST. JohI's name on it, even though the
name were crossed out, and tickets had to be
printed for them, without St. Johns name.
When they at the same time knew that Plumb
was not only stunpng for st. John. but was
making extreme prohibition speeches, the fact
that Drenning was instructed for Plumb, was
not calculated to make votes for him.

Concerning Click.
Why are short haired women weeping,
Long haired men through alleys creeping.
An sad and sicki
Just see them-quickl
They're the ghosts Of prohibition
Sinking of in sad condition,
Because Of Click.
Who comes there, amid hosznnas,
Beating drums and waving banners,

II We believe the Hiawatha Horld was pre-
serving the copy of the Chief in which we figured
out how it was possible, under certain circnm-
stances, to defeat st. John, and that the White

subject. They said they wanted to preserve the
papers until after the election, to see how we
came out as a prophet. Gentlemen, produce
the paper. We are willing to go on record on

THE CRACK OF DOOM,
An Earthquake Underground, Cyclone on
the Earth, and Comet Exploded
in the Heavens!

The whole country, North and South, East
and West, went Democratic with whirl on
Tuesday, surprising the Democrats more than
any one else. Properly, we should not say
Demoeratic-it was general uprising and re-
volt, to throw off burdens borne for years, "for
the good of the party" until they became un-
bearab,e; and one tremendous kick, all togeth-
er, did the business. Refusal to lessen taxes,
when millions of dollers were lying idle in the
Treasury, but extravagant and corrupt appro-
priations TO reduce the surplus; the hateful
tyranny of Bossism in some States, having muir
dered President of the people who stood in the
way of their ambition, and the Administration
of Guiteau having, by means of forgery and
fraud, placed one of its own Cabinet officers in
nomination for Governor of New York. in order
TO make the subsection complete, and that
officer still holding to his position while
asking election to another; the attempt to re-
ward a man with the Governorship of Pennsyl-
vania for having betrayed his constituents;
prohibition in Kansas and Iowa, woman suf-
frage in Nebraska, and general shystering and
hypocrisy here and there, were too much for the
grand old Republican party to pack, so it has
lain down to unload, and to crush the vermin.
New Hampshire goes sort of half and half,
with the bigger half on the other side.
Massachusetts elects Ben. Butler Governor by
about Is, 900 majority, and number of Demo-
cratic Congressman.
Rhode Island, among them all, stands firm.
Connecticut elects three Democratic Congress-
men out of her four
New York is simply awful Cleveland Dem
crat, is elected Governor over Foger, Arthur
and COnkling's man, by 200 900 majority. The
Democrats gain several Congressman, and have
a large majority in the Legislature.
New Jersey beats ex-Secretary Robeson for
Congress, and elects Democratic Legislature.
Pennsylvania elects Democratic Governor
by 81, 600 votes, gives gain of Democratic Con-
gressmen, and elects n Democratic Legislature.
The whole South went Democratic, with q
Republican or Coalition Congressman scattered
here OF there, except that Malone seems to hold
his grip in Virginia, which is no advantage to
Republicans.
Indiana elects the Democratic ticket, and
gives them gain of Congressman.
Michigan-eyen Michigan elects Democratic
Governor, and that party gains largely in Con-
gressmen.
