Democratic Convention, and Matthew Can

JUSTICE FIELD.
NEW YORK, June 27th.-The Journal
prints an alleged San Francisco special
which says: The friends of Judge Field
have widely proclaimed that the hoodlum
clement run the Democratic Convention
when the fact is that Fields worst and
most bitter enemies are the Changers, who
are an organized power against him and the
railroads. 1t can be proved that Field
sought aid from the hoodlum element in
the Convention through ex-Eeutenant-
Governor Johnson, who, being repulsed by
the rural delegates, sought council with
Buckley, whose tactics were thereupon
changed. Field is universally unpopular
on the Pacific coast"

that Rosecrans as the second-place man
would be an excellent offset to the strength

would add greatly to his strength.

be one of the most closely contested
struggles we have ever had. Cleve-
land will carry the state, but We
shall have to fight for it. Tho

in good trim and equal to the emer-

"Do you look for Clevelands

carry the country, but as in Indiana
it is elsewhere-there will be great

"What effect will Buffers action
have?"
ut will not effect the national
ticket, I think. He will be felt in
certain localities only. The fight
throughout will be between Blaine
and Cleveland, and neither will b

"It is feared by so,ne," was sug-

EX-GOV. ST. JOHN OF KANSAS,
THE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE
OF THE PROHIBITION PARTY.

We have heretofore presented
our readers with portraits of the
Presidential candidates of the DEM
ocratic, Republican and Greenback
parties, and to complete the list of
candidates in the field for the great
office of the Presidency we here
with publish an excellent likeness
of ex-Gov. st. John of Kansas, who,
with William Daniel of Maryland !,
will lead the Prohibitionists in the
coming campaign.
John P. St. John, nominated by
his party as its Presidential candi-
date, was born at Brockville, Ind,
Feb. 25, 1888, and is in his 51st
year. His father was a farmer,
somewhat addicted to intemperate
habits; and young St. John, after
spending his early boyhood labor
ing upon his fathers farm, engaged
himself as clerk in a grocery, in
which capacity he served until
nearly 20 years of age, employing
all his leisure hours in hard study
of the lower branches of education.
California now attracted the young
man to the Pacific Coast, where he
spent several years in such occupa-
tions as wood chopper and
steamboat hand. During this
period St. John made voyages to
Mexico, South America, and the
Sandwich Islands and a tour
through Central America. In 1852
and 1853 he enlisted in the war
against the Indians and was serions-
ly wounded in two engagements.
In these years of hardship young
St. John managed to gain a very
respectable knowledge of the law,
AID in 1860 he engaged as clerk
with a law firm in Carlton, Ill. In
a short time he became a partner
in the concern, but at the outbreak
of the war he patriotically enlisted
as a private in the 6Sth Illinois
Volunteers. At the close of hostili-
ties he had risen to the rank of
lieutenant-colonel. He now settled
at Independence, Mo-, and began
the practice Of his profession, but
in 1869 he removed to Olathe, Kan,
and here began his active career in
politics. In 1872 he was sent to
the State Senate, and in 1878, and
again in 1880, was elected Governor
of Kansas. He was elected in these
years as a recognized leader of the
Republican party, but his extreme
views on temperance legislation
and prohibition have caused him to
forsake tho former party and be-
come an ardent worker in the ranks
of the Prohibitionists, whom he
now leads as their national candi-
date.
Mr.. St. John is a man of fine
presence and unimpeachable char
-acter. His convictions are main
tained with a vigor and ability that
command admiration from all, if
not a full endorsement Of the op-
