Politics won't cut much figure i'll the
fight this fail for Governor. Prohibi-
ton will be the main issue, and the lib
eral republicans who refused to swallow
prohibition in 1882 will refuse to Swal-
low it this year. When it comes to
prohibition, the anti-prohibition repub-
licans and the democrats join hands.
Working together, the two will be ire
sistible, and there is fair prospect of
Kansas Kidding herself of obnoxious and
worthless legislation.

JOHN A. MARTIN will stand on a
strong prohibition platform, and GEO
w. CLICK, opposed to the prOhibitory
law and the unconstitutional spirit
back of it, will favor resubmissiOn.
Who can doubt the result? Prohibition
is just the same fraud as it was in 1882,
and just as unpopular, and thousands
of intelligent, Independent republicans
will vote for CLICK. The young blood
in the republican party is FESTIVE under
the prOscriptive lash.

be betrayed and forsaken.
Does anyone admire the monumental
morality of those republican prints and
individuals who are bowling at Gov.
CLICK for doing his duty?
Principle and honor may be sunk for
good, and MARTIN may be elected by a
JANUS faced policy, but if he is the in
tolerant spirit which prohibitiOnists are
showing to Gov. CLICK will be intensi-
fed toward those who may be guilty of
violating the law.
But independent voters will not elect
MARTIN. They will not like his stand
ing on a strong prohibition platform,
and they will vote for Gov. CLICK who
is always honest, courageous and GER
tain of his position.
The hypocritical JOHN A. MARTIN
racket is too thin 10 win this year.

Every body busy.
Harvest at hand.
Binders of all kinds running.
Wheat in most cases good; yet, once
in a while complaints of cheat are made
but OH the whole last years crop will be
thrown in the shade.
Corn and oats never looked better.
Every body is looking forward to the
Sth of July, hoping that no mistake will
then be made, but that the angel of
peace will hover over the convention
that is to name the next President of
the whole people. Blaine, the cOrrup-

Highly Amusing, But A Little Bit Off
Color.

Some of our stiff prohibition friends
are busy just now denouncing Gov.
CLICK. As with NARCIssE, the people
''fairly revel in the eloquence, pathos
and rhetoric of the denmciation.
ST.. JOHN comes in for his share of
abuse, too. But he is denounced for
uphOlding the principle which Gov.
CLICK is alleged to be trampling under
foot. This is a funny world, sad
world, and hypocrisy has existed in it
since the beginning. But hypocrisy is
no more popular now than in the days
of JUDUS IsCARIoT, BRUTUS or AR
MOLD; and no person, no party, gains
the respect of the people by posing as a
mOralist and acting as a sinner.
