Kansas Chief: Thousands OF people
In Kansas will be panied to hear OF the
sad fate of the venerable Col. John G
Vaughn. He has been sent to the poor
house In Cleveland, Ohio. He ID toe
old to work, and has wealthy daugh
ter IN that city, who refuses TO support
her old father IN his last days. Col
Vaughn had one of the best intellects in
America. lie once edited the old Gin
cinnati Gazette, in the palmy
days of the Wing party, when
the paper was a power IN
the party. He afterwards, in connec,
ton with Joseph Medill, now Of the
Chicago Tribune, established the CIeve.
land Leader, which became the Free
Soil organ of Northern Ohio. He al
one time came within one vote OF re.
ceiving a caucus nomination for United
states senator, which would have in
sured his election. He came to Kansa:
in the early days of the territory, to fighi
the battles of freedom, and remained
until about year ago, when he re
turned to Cleveland, to live his few re
naming days with his daughter, who
has now trundled him of to an aims
house.

GOOD AND MAD.

The Albany Times, a Democratic
newspaper, is very wrathy at the hide
pendents. whom 1t accuses of going
back on their agreement. From mass
of lamentatiOn and imprecation we take
the following:
THE Independents, 1t is true, fingered
unreasonably for q time, but finally,
headed by the New York Times, New
York Evening Post. New York Herald,
Harper's Weekly, the Independent ire
ligIous weekly, Carl Schurz, the Young
Mems Republican club of Brooklya,
Henry Ward Beecher, and Cn their
own estimation) a mighty gathering,
they wheeled into line, and assumed the
immediate command of the whole party.
The New York Times promptly empha.
sized its suppoTt-a decided novelty in
Its case-by condemning the whole
Democratic party because its national
committee reelected William Fl. Bar
mum as its chairman, position he had
held tor eight years. The Evening
Post, New York Herald and Harper's
Weekly opened their bounding cam
paign by reading Tammany out of the
party, and caricaturing q race of men
who, as q general thing, have bestowed
their sntfrages warmly on the
Democratic party. Henry Ward
Beecher felt pious shock at some foul
charges made against the candidate,
became faint-hearted-the innocent lamb
and said he would have 70 back out
He was treasured, however, so far as 70
change his mind again, and then again
he fell back SO far as to now be uncer.
tain. Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew d.
White and Henry Cabot Lodge, who
were also expected to JOIN the throng,
quietly glided back into their camp, and
Roosevelt, in an excess of gratitude, &C.
tually denonnces the governor as not q
reformer. But the Independent party
excellence-the one which was appar-
emily to weld together the whole enor.
nous force OF the Independent host for
the candidate-the Independent (relip.
ious weekly)a paper which circulstes in
10000 Republican families of all de-
nominations, it was the great allv that
was TO render Cleveland's campaign an
assured and easy victory. Now this H.
dependent comes out IN an editorial de-
cIaring that 1t retracts everything il ever
said IN favor OF his candidacy, and that
1t can not and will not support him
since the Buffalo disclosures (proved by
one OF its own editors to have been moth
ing but single dereliction long ago
atoned for) and demands of the party a
new convention and q new candidate.
Here is the record and the outcome of
that great independent vote which was
so much to be desired. The record Is
the old record, never reversed, OF un-
meaning promises and ready treachery.
