From nearly every county in the state
reports come announcing that the Dem
ocracy is throwing new interest into the

years ago the party did not take the

considered worse than useless. and
where democrats could only be elected
by combining with independents, now
may he found perfect organizations. In
many counties democratic newspapers
have been established and are being
well patronized. All this in Kansas,

A Former Citizen in Trouble.

The Chicago Tribune of yesterday gives the
following account of the troubles of N. r.
Smith, ormerly a well-known merchant here:
Morton R. Smith commenced an action In
trespass in the Superior Court against Jonathan
B. Taylor and o.. G. Waterman, partners as
John B. Taylor d Co., to recover $4,000 dam
ages for alleged malicious prosecution. lie says
that last Wednesday ne was arrested at the In
stance of the defendants and taken before JUS
tice Hammer on q charge of embezzling $91. 90.
He gave bail until yesterday, when the case was
heard and he was discharged. Smith thinks the
arrest was unjustiiable, and that his reputation
has been damaged to the extent of at least $780,
900. He was a travelling salesman for the tirm
last fall, ana while out on the road ran short,
and by permission of the firm sold some of his
samples to get home. He kept on with the firm
until February last, they knowing he was owing
them 800 when he quit, and it was not until a
few days ago. when he voluntarily told them he
was going TO Texas to engage in business, that
they took any steps to have him arrested. JUS
tice Hammer thought the scheme was only an
attempt to collect a civil debt by u criminal ao-
tioD, and Smith was discharged"
