The, Presidential Candidate OF the
Prohibition Party.
Last week we published portrait OF Kew.
8. D. Burchard, the alliteraaive parson
whose famous "Rnm, Romanism and
Rebellion utterance few days before the
election is believed to have caused Blaine's
defeat in New York, and to-day we present
a likeness of another man who was largely
instrumental in preventing the success of
the Republican candidate.
John p. st. John, nominated by the
Prohibition party as its Presidential candl-
date, was born at Brockyille, Indiana, Feb.
Is, 1888, and is in his ffty-frst year. his
father was farmer, somewhat addicted to
Incorporate habits; and young st. John,
after spending his early boyhood laborlng
upon his fathers farm. engaged himself as
clerk III grocery in which capacity he
served IN til nearly twenty 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 ID such pccupa atoms asa wood chopper
and steamboat hand. During this period
ST. John made voyages to Mexico, South
America and the Sandwich Islands, and
tour through. Central America. In 1852
and 1868 he enlisted in the war against the
Indians and was very seriously wounded in
two engagements. -
In these years Of hardship young st. John
managed to gain a very respectable knowl-
edge Of the law, and in 1860 he engaged as
a clerk with law firm in Charlton, Ill. In
a short time he became a partner III the
concern, but ct the outbreak of the war he
enlisted as private in the
Sixty -eighth Illinois Volunteers. AT the
close of hostilities he had risen to the rank
of Lieut. Colonel. Henow settled at In
dependence, Mo-, and began the practice Of
his profession, but in 1869 he removed to
Olathe, Kansas, and here began his active
career in politics. In 1872 he was sent to the
State Senate, and in 1875 and again in 1880
was elected Governor of Kansas. He was
in these years recognized leader of the
Republican party, but his extreme views On
temperance legislation and prohibition
have caused him to forsake the former
party and become an ardent worker in the
ranks of the Prohibitionists, whom he led
in the recent contest as their National can
date. His associate on the ticket was
William Daniel of Maryland, and they
polled vote very much in excess of any
heretofore thrown by the Prohibition party.
It is generally acknowledged that the bulk
of their support was drawn from the
Republican ranks, and but for their
candidacy Blaine and Logan would IN
doubleday have been elected.
Mr.. st. John is man of fine presence
and unimpeachable character. His con-
victions are maintained with vigor and
ability that command admiration from all,

naSs of their promn1Uation

Our Lii is six, and little May
Still lacks month of eight.
And, through the open play-room door,

'' Lii, run down stairs and get my doll.
Go quick, now-right away"
And Lille said-(and agreed
That May was hardly fair:
You might say please or go yourself

But, Lille urged the elder one,
Your littleiegs, you know.

DAVID B. HILL.
The Next Governor of New York
State.

The Next Governor of New York
State.
The election of Governor Cleveland of
New York to the Presidency makes it
necessary for him to resign his present
position some time previous to March
next. This will make David B. Hill, now
Lieutenant Governor of the Empire State,
ts Governor.
He was born in Chemung county, New
York, in 1913. At an early age he man
ifested great interest in politics and gave
his allegiance to the Democratic party. In
1864 he was admitted to the bar in Elmira,
where he then resided, and of which he has
continued to be an honored citizen. He
was elected member of the Assembly in
1870, and again in 1871. In his first term
sembly bill for the adjustment of the con-
tract system in the State prisons. 1t was
subsequently killed in the Senate. When
i'll 1875 Governor Tilden appointed him
member Of commission to provide a uni
form. Charter for the cities of thesState, he
declined On account of pressing professional
work. Elnira he's made him an Alderman
and later tbs Mayor of that fourishing city.
Mr.. Hill is an old bachelor, peculiar in his
habits, regular as clockwork, and, it is
stated, rather displeased than otherwise
with the promotion awaiting him. He
lives in the Chemung Canal bank building,
Elmira, and disIikes the idea of leaving
his sung quarters to make his abode in the
splendid Executive Mansion in Albany.
His parents are both dead, and he has no
sisters. That he should be necessitated to
keep house and entertain en- grand scale
in his lonesome condition, renders his re-
ported aversion to the change much less
surprising in the light of these facts. The
ladies are wondering what the poor man
wia do. Mr.. Hill is good lawyer, and
politician of experience and sagacity. His
chief recreations gre music and the drama.
The next Governor of New York is a man
of medium height. He wears tight coat
which shows his compact figure to adTan-
age. His head is a good example of the
bald brow of q bachelor
