Infamous and Cowardly.

Even at this early stage Of the nation
al campaign the republican leaders have
been driven into their last ditch. Dur
ing the last week a certain class OF re-
publican journals have contained long
and sickening account of what pretends
to be a chapter i'll the life of GROVER
CLEVELAND, wherein his virtue and
manhood are sacrificed to amOrOus pas
sion. The reading is unfit for the de-
cent public, and if the campaign is
to be conducted on such a basis, the
American people have reached the low
est depths of degradation.
Unlike many others, we believe that
the private as well as the political char
acters of prominent candidates for high
public trusts belong to the people and
should be subjected to the closest Scru-
tiny. by their fruits We shall know
them, . is text as applicable to poll
tics as to the church. y man should
stand or fall. according to the character
of his life.
But this attack upon Gov. CLEvE-
LAND s record smells good deal of Bill
lingsgate. He ran for Sheriff of big
county. for Mayor of great city and
for Governor of the first state of the Ma
ton and these alleged facts were never
produced before. He has been before
the public long time, and it is strange
that this plausible story should be start
ed now at time when political feeling
has reached a high key.
The story is plausible because it is
connected by the art of clever writer,
but villiany is fair of face and smooth
of tongue. Until the charges are put
into conclusive shape, backed by irrefu-
table affidavits, they will amount to
nothing
If. however, they should be true, Mr..
CLEvELAND's chances of becoming
President will be greatly damaged. If
they are not true, the republican party
will suffer the full measure of contempt,
scOrn and loss of respect, confidence
and strength which such base and
cowardly attack deserves.

st. John Nominated.

Kansas once again FORCES to the front,
and JOHN PETER ST. JOHN is the
unanimous choice Of the national pro-
hibitiOn convention for President of
these sin cursed United States. He
was nominated by reclamation.
Will the prOhibitiOnistS of Kansas
support Mr.. ST. JOIN?
To be candid and honest. we are
afraid that they will not. But we can
safely say that the prohibitionistS will
never succeed SO long as they continue
to put their trust in the republican
party. After all, however, the strength
of a mans devotion to the principle of
prohibition will determine whether or
not he will support Mr.. ST. JOIN.

Different Men.

Judge JOHN MARTIN, of Topeka, is
a democrat and a district judge. His
democracy, however, is not quite so
pronounced as his rather questionable
devotion to prohibition.
Col. JOHN \. MARTIN is the editor
of the Atchison Champion and the re-
publican nominee for Governor. He is
known as late though jealous convert
to prohibition, and by an intense and
all-devOuring desire to be Governor. 1t is
believed by many that he became pro-
hibitionist for the purpose of securing
the republican nomination, and he Sc
cured it.
Then, JOHN MARTIN and join 4.
MARTIN are different men, although
possessed Of similar characters.
Our readers, who have heretofore
mixed the two men up together in a
manner alarming to both, will do well
to remember ''who is Who"

Logan and the Negro.

STEWART, the colored orator from To-
peka. stood before his audience last Sat
urday evening and said that he was a
shining example of what the republican
party had done for his race. Judging
from the orators speech, the republican
party ought to be ashamed of its work.
But in the Illinois Legislature, on the
9th day of December, 1859, JOHN a.
LOGAN supported the following resolu-
ton and used these wOrdS-JOHN y.
was a so-called democrat then: You
call it the dirty work of the democratic
party to catch fugitive slaves for the
southern people. We are willing to per-
form that work. Here is the reSolu-
ton:
IF a negro or a mulatto. bond or
free, shall hereafter come into this state
and remain ten days, with the evident
intention of residing in the same, every
such negro or mulattO shall be guilty
of high miSdemeanor, and for the
first offence shall be fined the sum of
fifty dollars. If such negro or mulatto
shall be found guilty, and the fine as
sessed be not paid forthwith to the JUS
tice of the Peace, the said Jutsice
shall, at public auction, proceed to sell
said negro of mulatto. ="
Has MIR. LoGAN's nature changed in
any remarkable degree since 1859? His
swindling attempt to steal lands from
the Zuni Indians few years ago,
would seem to indicate negative an
swer.
