The fact that FItz John Porter must

A votary OF the national game was hit
at Indianapolis the other day in the pit
of the stomach with hot ball, and died
in a few hours from the effects OF the
accident. To what base ball uses do we
come al last.
An exchange says that not q single
lady attended the recent Democratic
convention at Saratoga, New York. We
had received the impression somehow
that George William Curtis was present,
but It appears we were mistaken.

THE WITHDRAWAL.

We were not surprised 70 hear OF the
withdrawal Of Judge Scion o. ThAcher
from the gubernatorial contest. The
Judge did not desire to make the run in
the first place, but yielded TO the solicit
ations Of friends. We regard Judge
Thacher as one OF the ablest men in the
state, but 1t was evident from the start
that the people wanted Martin for gov
ernor this time. The last time Martin
ran for the Office he made so gallant and
clean q fight, and won . victory which
was only wrested from him by one of
those political trades incident 10 politics.
and he had been 30 useful to the state,
and SO honorable in ali his
public and private career,
that his friends all over the state were
determined he should run again at the
first opportunity. The opportunity did
not occur till this year. Long before he
had thought Of the matter seriously
there was strong sentiment for him in
every quarter, and as the canvass sp-
preached this began to cFystalize into

Is evidenced by the returns from those
counties which have already elected del

Under the circumstances Judge
Thacher has done q sensi.

Many good temperance men have 81
FAR withheld their support from Mr.
Martin largely on account Of the mis-.
representations of his position which
the Democratic press and q few Repub-
IicaD papers hav persisted in making
from personal and other selfish reasons.

acquaintance with Col. Martins rec or
for many years. that II elected governor

Wichita Eagle: The withdrawal OF
Judge Scion o. Thacher from the GU
bernatorIal canvass surprised but few.
1t was evident months ago that the Re
publicans of Kansas had determined to
right wrong, and Col. Martin would
haYe secured the nomination had he
never spoken word or written q line.
This was evident to many from the first,
but as soon as the county conventions
commenced to meet everybody saw it.
Judge Thacher Is one of Kansas great
est men, so recognized by all, but on the
other hand his claims on the party and
state are not Of the weight or character
which would justify the party in ignor-
ing so faithful and so competent a man

Marion Record: The Emporia Repub-
lican has not treated Col. Martin fairly
in this contest. The garbled extract
from a Champion editorial. for instance,
which seemed to oppose the enforcement
of the prohibitory law in Atchison, but
which careful reading discloses to be
a mere statement of facts, and which we
know was followed bya vigorous express
sion OF sound sentiments, the very oppo-
site of what was sought to be conveyed
by the Republican, was q piece of jour
nalistic iugglery of which we thought
the Republican incapable. 1t always
pays, in the end, to be fair.

TILE VETO.

The veto Of the Fitz John Porter bill
ls endorsed almost unanimously by Re
publicans in Kansas, and the president
is warmly praised for his independence
and back bone in the performance of an
act which is so infiuentially backed In
to his views. This kills the
measure for the present. and it is hoped
forever. 1t Is true the house promptly
passed the measure oyer the veto, but is
it hardly within the range Of possibili-
ties that it can pass the senate in like
manner. The Fitz John Porter bill
has been about as tenacious Of
life as the Tichborne claimant IN Eng

MO THIRD TTCRET.

New York Tribune: The notion that
q third ticket this fall may possibly con-
fuse things, and plague the Democrats,
gets currency only through Democratic
sheets. If there were a possibility Of
securing the electoral vote Of any Re-
publican state for third ticket, as there
is not, the only possible effect would be
to throw the election into the house,
where the Democrats would at once
proceed to elect the Democratic candi-
date. The election, 1t will be remem-
bered, would in that case be made, not
by the house that Is to be elected, but by
the present house, which is strongly
Democratic.
But this very fact will prevent the
success of such q third ticket In any
state which the Democrats could moi
carry without 1t. No voter who has
common sense, if he does not mean tC
elect a Democratic president, will throw
away his vote on any third ticket undel
such circumstances. There Is no es
cape. The men who do not wish TO b.
responsible for the election of Demo
cratic president will haYe to vote TO

The Eureka Herald presents q rather
singular reason why Mr.. Clogston, of
that city, should not be nominated for
attorney general. 1t fears that he will
not "fill the measure of the man requIr.
ed IN that position" and in the next
sentence says one of the reasons why his
nomination Is desired there is that the
lawyers want to get him out of the way
as he controls the lions share of the
