the scene OF brilliant wedding, Theodore

THE IRIsH LEAGUERS.
Their Organs Admire the Manhood
of Cleveland.

buntoh L iObs
Governor Cleveland has too much
manhood and patriotism to be the tool Of
foreign and inimicsl nation. His letter
to the Boston meeting was PROOF OF his
Americanism. Mr.. Blaine was invited to
the ssme MEETING, but did not dare or
deign to send reply.
The Republic.
There was q marked difference In the
manner in which the invitation to sttend
the National League meeting, which had
been extended to both Grover Cleveland
and James G.. Blaine, was met by these
distinguished gentlemen. Governor
Cleveland not being able to attend in
person, wrote sympathetic and
manly letter of apology, which
has evoked the wrath Of the
bigoted London press. Mr.. Blaine
did not consider the invitation worthy
the honor of reply from the hand
which traced the Mulligsn letters, and,
like boor and a churl as he is, kept
eloquent silence on the subjsot Of Ireland
and the National Lssgue. Irish.Ameriosra
will please make note of this little
circumstance.

Of the indianapolis Sentinel in the Blaine
libel suit, and an answer to the complaint
pleading justification for the alleged

court for few days. In an editorial
regarding the ease the Sentinel to-day
says:
For the sake of Mr.. Blaine's family we
regret being forced to produce over
whelming evidence, which we will pro-
duce In the trial. 1t is evidence against

not actual existence.
John G. Shoemaker, publisher Of the
Sentinel, claims that he already has In his

which will support his charges. He says
that he will require the presence Of both

other about five hours later.

Edward Jeneruon's Death accidental

Friends of RdwRrd Jefferson, who died
from an overdose Of opium st Atlanta,
Ca, last week, are emphatic in the
expression OF their opinion that the fatal
dose WAS not taken with suicidal intent
From What has recently been learned, it
appears that the deceased was despopdent
and nervous and had been in the habit Of
taking an cpiate to quiet his nerves. The
theory that Jefferson took opium and in
mistake swallowed sn overdose ia be.
lieved to be the only correct one advanced.

.jOrIty by the Minority.
TOPEKA, KAs., Aug. 21.-The re.sub-
mission convention assembled last even
ing and made the temporary organization
permanent. The committee on Tesolu-
tions submitted long platform, the sub.
stance Of which is the assertion that the
msjority Of the Republican party of
Ramsay has determined to coalesoe with
and adopt the degmas of the prohibition
party, and that in pursuing this course 1t
has departed from the true faith
OF Republicans. We have repeatedly
protested against this suicidal course
and In spirit OF oonciliation and concord
have appealed to them In the light OF past
experiences to consult sgain the will OF
the people on the vexatious question Of
prohibition. That request was contempt
ously refused and our warnings have been
answered by sneers ond opprobrious cpl
thets. Now in the name Of the national
Republican party Of this country we ar
raign this prohibition majority faction of
this state as untrue to Republican
principles and an enemy TO
Republican success. We arraign
II as an organization that Is plotting and
uUubplTluk hlt uNoE tho UuuEbty w uotoht
the Republican ticket. In Kansas they
remain nominally with the Republican
party solely because that party can be
used to carry their pet hobby. Such
being the case, and declining to accept
their doctrines, we prefer them as de
olsred enemies rather than treaoherous
friends. We condemn the oowardioe and
hypocrisy Of those Republican leaders who
have permitted this foreign and false
Issue to he thrust uron the party in this
state. On their heads shall rest grave
responsibility, We indorse the platform
OF the national Republican party and
pledge our unqualified support to it's
nominess-James g. Blaine and John A.
Logan.
We especially endorse the action Of the
national convention through Its commit
tee in rejecting the sbominable doctrine
Of prohibition, and we hold that the
action of said convention upon that as
upon all other questions, constitutes the
controlling rule Of action for all true
Republicans throughout the country,
and that while supporting Blaine and
Logan, we cannot consistently support
the odious doctrine which was expressly
rejected by the convention which placed
them In nomination.
