A BAD BARGAIN.


The kind of bargain the Democrats
have picked up in Cleveland may be
inferred from the following extracts from
the eastern press:
The Boston Pilot says OF the Demo
cratic staBdard-bearer:
Cleveland represents the narrowest
and most selfish class IN American so
cial and public lite. He Is of those who
distrust the common people. He ad-
vises only with the wealthy aud the con-
servers of wealth The work
ingmen of his OWE state dislike and die
trust him, and will not vote for him
He knows nothing of important public
life or men. He has not a single quality
large en- ough to fit him for the presiden
cy of the United States"
The Brooklyn Eagle says: Our es-
teemed contemporary, the Herald, de-
clares that twenty Democratic states
that never heard of the five-cent fare
bill may want Governor Cleveland for q
candidate. That is not improbable, be-
cause our reform governor is a man who
has done well IN his office; but the ques.
ton is: would the twenty Democratic
states want him for q candidate at the
risk of losing the votes of 10000 or 40
600 working men in New York city?
The New York Irish World remarks:
Turning to Cleveland, we find in him
a candidate who has done enough dur
ing his term of office as governor of New
York to show that be is not In sympathy
with principles in the triumph of which
nine-Lenshs OF the rank and fllc of the
Democracy are interested. Do the Dem
ocraiic managers and wire-puliers of
New York suppose that Governor
Cleveland's veto of the five cent fare bill
Is either forgotten or forgiven by Demo
cratic workingmen of New York City,
whose votes will have To be relied on to
carry the state of New York tor the DEM
ocracY next November? Bad as the veto
was in itself the principle on which 1t
was based was still wOTse."
The Rochester Union observes:
"The veto Of the fiYe-cent fare bill was
against and directly in the teeth of con-
| stitutional principle and public policy.
The constitution of the state of New
York expressly declares as q condition
precs dent of the formation of corpora
tons, that the charter of every cor
pOratlon shall be held subject IA altera-
| tion from time to time, or repeal by the
| law making power; and the court of APP
| peals OF the state of New York and the
| supreme court of the United States have
affirmed the right of the law-makinG
power to so alter or appeal. Every Gu
gagement entered into, and every contract
made by q corporation created by the
state of New York is subject to the tx
ercise of this law-making power. The
constitutional reservation is the very
flrst condition of any such engagement
and of any such contract. The princi
pie of the veto denies this, aud argues
In favor of the corporation theory thai
charters or corporations are in the ma
ture OF contracts between the states anc
the corporations. and that the corpora
4 tons. not the state, are master. Their
is not an anti-monopolist- is not |
true Democrat IN the United States wh'
can approve of that veto and doctrine
or support for public Office any man witt
approves CT them.

raE srArE CONveNrION.

AdyIces Touching the Political Situation
1T Topeka.
Special Dispatch TO the Daily News.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 16.-As Is usual
at Republican state conventions there is
large attendance Of the people. The
weather Is pleasantly cool with slight
rain.
For Associate Justice, Secretary OF
State, State Superintendent and Attorney
General the number of candidates is 80
numerous that it is impossible to guess
with any degree Of certainty as 10 who
will be successful. The contest
for these positions ID in q chaotic state.
The following of Judge Buck, however,
is strong. He has votes from all parts of
the state and is universally recognized
as the best fitted man on the track for as
sociate justice.
A strong feeling has been developed
against Horton for chief justice and ef-
forts are being made this morning to or
ganize to beat him, but 1t Is probably too
late for success.
The principal trouble, contrary to ex
pectatlon, Is the platform. There are
various shades of opinion as to what
ought to be said about prohibition. The
anti prohibition sentiment is stronger
than was anticipated in the convention.
Most all day yesterday and last night
until eleven O'Clock, the State Temper
ance Union was in session, and
the lesdisg outsiders were In con-
sultation trying to frame a pro-
hibition plank for the platform II
has not been settled at this hour, and
some of the ProhIbitIonIsts feel some
alarm at the situation. Many of the
suggestions are cowardly. Our opinion
now is that the result will be all right,
and that the expression on this question
will be sound. The delegates and visi-
tors from Leavenworth, DOnIphaD, At.
Gibson, Sedgwick, and several other
counties, want an "Il' or q straddle, but
certainly this will not be allowed.

BLAINE AND LOGAN CLUB.


Address of Hon. H. Richie at the Court
House Last Evening.
The meeting of the Blaine and Logan
club Tuesday was a decided success
Col. David Taylor presided, and L. s.
Page acted as secretary. The meeting
was held in the court house, which was
entirely filed.
The important feature of the meeting
was speech by Hon. H. Richie, of
Council Grove, who enjoys the reputa-
tion of being one of the ablest campaign
speakers in the state. His reputation in
this line was fully sustained, to his own
credit and the satisfaction of his friends,
by last nights effort. His address was
plainly and forcibly delivered. pre-
sentiDg an array of facts
relative to the histories of the Republi-
eau and Democratic parties, which are
unanswerable except by their admission.
Many of his arguments were illustrated
by pertinent and we'll put anecdotes,
which served to call out repeated rounds
OF applause, az well as TO add force to
the points in question.
Mr.. Richie pronounced the Republi-
can party, of all parties ever existing.
the grandest in its origin, the grandest
in its principles, the grahdest in its his
tory; and the Democratic, the party of
magnificent professions. He said
he was tired of hearing the
cry of fraud from the party
that had reduced ballo:-box stuffing to
. science and showed, defying refuta
ton, that as long ago as 1874 Clay was
defrauded OF the presidency by the
skillful manipulation of this same eel
ence in New York and Georgia. The
speaker had lived at Burlington, Iowa,
away back in 40, under the beauties of
Democratic free trade, when bushel of
wheat was worth % cents and corn slow
sale at 8 cents, and when il took the
price of one bushel of the former and
three OF the latter to get letter ont OF
the post Office, and had remained there
till under the Clay protective system OF
1912. Wheat in two years raised to &C
cents and corn TO 25 cents per bushel.
He continued the review of the par.
ties down to and through the war, show.

plOYed by HIM In conducting his can
