Kansas City Journal: Congressms

Kansas City Journal: Congressman
Morrill,, of Kansas, has recently been in
tervIewed concerning political issues In
our sister state. He is confident that
the Republican party will be solidly
United in the next contest. He would
like to see Col John A. Martin the Re-
publican candidate for governor, and he
does not think Senator Ingalls, will have
any trouble about reelection. MF.
Morrill, is very level headed as to both
Martin and Ingalls,. The Republican
party could not do better than to make
Col. Martin its standard bearer In the
next state canvass, and Ingalls, ought
MOTTO have any opposition in his party.
He has taken such high rank in the SEN
ate as TO reflect grOat honor upon Kan

COY. CLICK AND TIE MAORI


Topeka Commonwealth: A repre-
sentative OF the Commonwealth called
upon GoY Click for the purpose of learn
ing what action, il any, would be taken
regarding Slade, the prize fighter, train
ing in this state. The governor said that
he had no power beyond that of any pri-
vate citizen He could SIMPLY admon-
Ish the officers to do their duty and see
that the law was obeyed, and that had
been done. Following is the eommuni-
cation referred To:
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT.
TOPEKA. August "a. 1888.
Hon. Z. +. Cochran, County Attorney Of Atch-
ison county, AtchlsOn, Kansas:
DEAR SIR: Il is stated that Slade, one
of the parties 10 the proposed prize fight
which has been discussed in the news
papers for some time, has gone TO the
city of AtchlsOn to go into training for
the fight. | desire to call your attention
to section 2S2, page 367, Dassler's Stat.
ntes, of the laws of Kansas. This man
was driven out of Missouri for yIo-
lating the law in Missouri similar to our
own, for training for q prize fight
Would II not be advisable for you. a. the
law officer of Atehison county, TO take
immediate steps to see that he does not
prosecute the business OF training tor
prize eight in the state of Kansas? We
cannot afford TO have IL -aAad thai Mis-
souri, has driven from her borders aper-
son who was training for q prize fight
and that Kansas furnishes him an asy-
lum to prepare for such brutal and un-
christian business. ] hope you will
will look into the matter, and il yoa can
see your way clear, 1 ask that you prose-
cute Slade and all parties connected
with him or aiding and abetting HIM, TO
the full extent of the law, and save the
reputation of Kansas in this respect.
! am, sir, your obedient servant,
G. w. CLICK.
1t would seem from the above that
Mr. SIade and his associates are not to
come unmOlested 20 Kansas 10 prepare
for the fight. II they train in this state
is will probably have 70 be done on the
sly, and that will be nearly impossible.
The section which the governor refers
to, from Dassler's Compilation. Is chap
ter liz, session laws of 1871, and reads
as follows:
Any person who shall send or cause

plating q participation in such fight,

tor, hacker, umpire, trainer, second. sur

vile, Texas. from which it appears that
black small pox is prevailing with great
mortality in the towns of formation and
Purciacon. Mexico; that yellow fever Is
reported at TampIco and Panama.
Black small Pox is prevalent in Guate-
mala, the victims being principally for
eigners. There were 100 deaths from
cholera at SandiOnisto and Oxaia during
the month, and u deaths from yellow
fever in Vera Cruz for the same month.
Early in August there was q shower OF
thousands OF fishes in Matamoras, and
an earthquake at PatchekR, causing
twenty deaths and the destruction OF
thirty houses.
The result of the house inspection or
dered by Surgeon General Hamilton at
Pensacola, which was commenced this
morning, was the finding of two cases
of yellow fever in a sailors boarding
house on the east side of Fox street
warf. The surgeon general directed the
patients to be removed to the quEran
tine hospital on Santa Rosa island. The
bedding and clothing in the house were
destroyed, the house was fumigated anC
surroun led by guard. The cases wert
reported by acting Assistant Surgeon
White to-day. A boat was immediate
~ chartered by the collector of customs
and the cases were removed TO the quar-
antine hospital in accordance with the

The Iowa Democrats have been so
much disturbed by the declaration OF
their candidate for governor that he
wanted to see saloon on every hilltop.
on every roadside and on every street"
that they haYe forced him out with an
explanation. He cannot deny that he
made the statement, but he seeks to
change it by saying that he meant he
would rather have the liquor traffic car
ried on openly than in secret. This is q
lame explanation and puts the matter in
no better light for the Democratic can
didate. There must be some fatality
about Democratic gubernatorial candi-
dates this year. In both Ohio and Iowa
the party was proclaiming its eagerness
for an aggressive campaign. And yet
before the canvass is fairly opened, il
has been placed in both states on TIE
defensive by its standard bearers.
