KANSAS DlS6RACEO.

If Governor Geo. w. Click can
bring disgrace upon, anything, he
brought it upon the state of Kansas,
in his speech at AtchisOn, last week
when he alluded to a respectable citi-
zen of Kansas-his political opponent.
as murderer" The facts are. that
this respectable citizen, when young
man lived in Illinois, and had an ac-
complished and much loved sister
who lecherous scoundrel seduced.
As soon rs the fact come to the knOwl.
edge of the brother, he hunted up his
sisters destroyer and killed him, and
every respectable man in Illinois and
every one in Kansas will say he did
right, and Gov. Click will never con-
vince any decent man, that for that
act he rs murderer"
Now, years aud years after this
event, and because this gentleman was
a political opponent, and had severely
eXcoriaied Gov. Click for what hun
dreds of thousands Of good people
condemn him for, ia order to "get
even" the governor of Kansas de.
nounces him in political speech as q
murderer" Shame. II would have
been bad enough for a pot house bully
TO have been guilty of such conduct
but such a course by the governor OF
the state is a disgrace to the state and
his off cial position, and proves Gov

Philadelphia Press: Republicans
everywhere will commend the wisdom
of the party in Kansas in making Col.
John A. Martin its candidate for gov
ernor. No Republican in the west has
a better rccurd than Col. Martin. He
is The founder and editor of one of the
ablest Republican papers in that sec
ton, the Atchison Champion, and has
been prominent in state and national
politics for nearly thirty years. His
services daring the war were marked
also by many acts of conspicuous gall
lantry. The Republican party in
Kansas, which expressed its dissatis-
faction with the unfortunate nomina-
ton of St. John in 1882 by electing a
Democratic governor, will be united
again under the Leadership of Col.
Martin.

AGAINST CLEVELAND.

The influential Roman Catholic or
gan OF New York, the Freeman's Jour
ual, thus sets down on Cleveland:
New York has no candidate. 1t was
a bIunder TO name New York man
for president New York has no one
of her state who is to be seriously
thought of. Mr.. Grover Cleveland,
governor, has made a bad record. His
ruling that rich moneyed corporation
by buying up one legislature consti-
tuted itself high contracting power
in treaty with the state, in place Of
being, as corporation, subject TO
the state. showed that the passable
mayor of Buffalo, failed as governor,
and wsuld be disaster as presiden-
tial candidate. Whether John Kelly
and Tammany vote for him or not.
Mr.. Cleveland. in many matters, has
shown himself for favoring concentra-
ton of power that Democrats, by hum
dreds of thousands, will refuse to sup
port him, on the ground that he is not
in harmony with Democratic senti.
ment. John Kelly for him or against
him, MIR. Governor Grover Cleveland
is SO generally disliked, and what il
worse, despised, that he has no show
of carrying this state against james

Chicago In.er-Ocean: The Repub-
licans Of Kansas are to be congratu-
lated upon The election by scclama-
ton of John A. Martin as their candi-
date for governor. A brilliant and
conscientious journalist, he has also
rendered the party excellent service
as member of the National Republi-
can committee. He is every way
worthy the high honor bestowed upon
him, and under his leadership the par
ty is sure to restore the prestige of the
Republican party in Kansas.

WHAT AND VINO IS ne 2
Who is Grover Cleveland

Who Is Grover Cleveland
First of all, he is politician by
accident.
lie is inexperienced in statesman
ship, of mediocre ability rs lawyer,
of questionable reputation rs man.
lie has never held Legislative office,
state or national.
He was defeated for district attor-
new of Eric county. lie has been
sheriff and mayor of Buffalo, and gov
ernor of New York. -
lie was elected governor by Repub-
licans in moment of irritation against
the party managers.
His strength at the polls consisted
wholly in the fact that he was un-
known beyond his own county.
He has never formulated his views
on the national Issues. 1t is doubtful
whether he can state them with the
precision of knowledge.
What has he done!
He has written messages that hAye
inspired ridicule as essays At states
manshlp.
lie has alenated large portion of
his own party by factional measures
and appointments.
lie has alienated the labor interests
by a series of vetoes in the interest OF
capital. D..
lie has alienaied the anti-monol. d
lists by appointing nominees OF The
corporations as railroad commission
ers. by placing the canals in the hands
of a railrosd contractor. and by his ve-
TO of the elevated railroad 5 cent
fare bill, andof the horse car drivers
bill which limited their hours of labor.
He has alienated the Irish element of
the Democratic party, which is impla-
cably hostile to him.
He has alienated the reform element
in both parties by his refusal 10 sign a
portion of the Roosevelt bills, when
he found that they conficted with the
powers and enrichment f his own
henchmen.
What does he represent.
The most INSCRIPTIONS, yindictiye,
and ,yrannical machine known 10 the
political annals of this state. In its
behalf he has made ami refused to
make political appointments, attempt
ell to indicate the persons who should
or should not represent various dis
tricis in the Legislature snd has ALSO
lutcly dictated to stA'e oonven-
tious the constitution of state
tickets against their own desires.
How was he nominated
BY the interposiiion of the gag law
in the shape OF tho odious unit rule,
and by tie presence and active partici-
patton in the deliberations OF the ma
tional convention Of the entire body Of
Off cials of his own creation. he wss
nominated by the machine.
Who did he defeat

John Hay, of Cleveland, says: 1--WE
are asked to believe that man like
Blaine is to be defeated because Mr..
Beecher says that scandals have been
attached to his name, and General
Schurz does not think him an unset
fish and patriotic American. Ii will
take more than this to undermine that
robust reputation.

oh, THE SPOILS OF OFFICE.

The wall of the Beacon would prove
pitiful indeed but that it is ridiculous.
The Captain had been to Chicago, and
we all expected reflex of some high
and lofty inspiration gathered from
some old time admirer of Jackson or
Jefferson who, perchance, had hung
about the Hobbies of the hotels or the
galleries OF the convention hall, but in
stead of that il seems he only listened
to the providers who devoted the first
half OF their declaration of principles
TO abuse of the Republican party and
the last half To All ill-disguised cry for
Office. So the Beacon this week in.
stead of filling up with ennobllng
thoughts and such words as would
tend to lift party politics above The
idea of a mere scramble for office,
follows the lead of the Democratic
platform by devoting .one-half of ms
paper to the abuse of the Republican
nominees and the other halt To be-
waiting the fact that the Democrats
have had no show for twenty-five
years in the petty federal offices. To
this end it gloats over the threatened
strike Of the coal miners aud the next
thing he will be rejoicing over
bank failures and other finan-
cial disasters. The truth j.
disaster Of ANY character is a Demo
cratic sign of promise and health, and
abundant currency big crops and gen
eral prosperity their particular abom-
nation. They would rather the chol-
era and yellow fever with Il chance to
get their clutches on Uncle Sans
money bags than peace, health and
plenty, and be forced 20 longer wand
or around in the wilderness of dispsir
aud moss covered hopes. And in al
these things the captain faithfully re-
fleets the party that nominated d
hangman as lis leader.
