Personal AND POLITICAL.

Mr.. st. John will stumble second
time over the same straw.
1t is very manifest to the public now
why Mr.. BeechSr is Cleveland man.
The Republican idea of civil service
reform Is to keep the Democrats out,
and it Is very good one.
st. LOUIS Globe Democrat: 1t will
take just thirteen alibis to prove Grover
Oleveland's good moral character.
It is moderately safe to predict that
Mr.. Cleveland's letter Of acceptance Will
contain no allusion to Maria HalpiA.
The Democratic leaders are still
bowling about 1.-The var taxes" The
very meanest thing parent can do is to
repudiate its offspring.
Readers of the New York Sun arc not
SO sure. after all, that Chas. A. Dana
has given up the intention of breaking
into the Republican party.
If any additional proof than that al
ready offered were needed to confirm the
Buffalo story about Grover Cleveland,
his pictures as published in the illustra-
ted papers would readily furnish it.
The next time that George William
Curtis goes sklrmishing around for 9
representative of spotless personal and
political purity, he should be careful
so select a subject that can at least look
the part.
Fredonia Citizen: Judge Chas. B
Graves, of Burlington, was nominated
for reelection by the Republicans of the
Filth Judicial district, last week. OF
Course he will be again elected as he
truly deserves to be.

Mn NOT EXPLAIN.

New York Tribune: Mir. George
William Curtis was the chief figure In
the Democratic dependent conference
and read the formal address or statement
OF principles, but he lett something uu-
explained. He did not explain why he
himself now intends to vote for Mr..
Hendricks, whom in 1876 he denounced
as the ally of slavery, and q candidate
acceptable only to cOnfederates, copper
heads, iDfiationists and bypOcritical re-
formers. He did not explain why he,
the acknowledged leader of civil service
reform, should desert the party which
had followed Mr.. Eaton's advice and en-
acted the FIRST practical me assure for re-
forming the evils OF the ciYil service,
He did not explain why he should de-
sert that party the day after It had
adopted in national convention q civil
service plank framed by his own hand.
He did not explain why he had gone
oyer TO the Democratic party, after hav-
ing repeatedly denounced it as incap-
able of accomplishing any practical re
form or of serving any useful or patriotic
purpose party that is Every hungry
and, as You may well believe, very
thirsty" and Is held together only by
greed for spoil and the hope of plumber
He did not explain Why he had bclted
nomination which he himself had
helped to make the unanimous voice Oi
the convention. Finally. he did mol
explain the real secret of the bolt, which
he had cOnfided in May last TO Mr.. J. A
KitzmIller. "Tbe Independents are
anti-prote ction, and whoever We dc
| elect must favor revenue reform"

VICE president on the Democratic ticket,
walked up hornets nest when he stated
in q recent speech that $50, 600 had been
stolen by officers connected with the
navy since the Republicans came into
power twenty-three years ago. Not
only did Secretary Chandler dress HIM
down in very good shape, but the follow
ing list Of defalcatious in the navy de
partment was prepared for the
perusal of candidate Hendricks
and everybody else who is seek

which Mr.. Henricks touched upon. The
facts are taken from the department rec
ords. aud cover period OF only SIX
years, from 1854 to 1860. when the last
Democratic administration was IN pow

OVER THE STATE.

A woman at Junction City gave birth
last week to three children, all of whom
are alive and kicking as vigorously as
George w. Martin.
The national prohibition tickes IN
1880 received seven votes in Kansas.
And the candidate for president didn't
paint his muStsche. either.
The largest increase in the value Of
taxable property this year over last

crease in that county is So 579, 662 SO.
1t is estimated that the cousins of the

81. LOHN,R M0LLY

We have always given Ex-Governor
Sc. John credit tor sincerity in his tenn
perance principles, but We have at times
doubted his judgment aud thought him
too much under control Of bis ambition.
1t was ambition that led him to make the
fearful mistake for himself and the tenn
perance cause Of allowing his name to
be used e. . candidate for third term
Is governor. In allowing himself TO be
come q candidate for president, a. the
nominee of the National Prohibition
party his ambition has led him into
another Inexcusable blunder. 1t Ia the
worst thing he could have done for the
cause which he PROCESSES to have at
heart The reason he gives for his course
IL that the Republican National Conven-
ton failed to recognize prohibition in
its platform. 1t seems 70 US that if he
had exercised proper Judgment he
would have seen at once that this could
not now be done-that the time has not
yet come for that, even from mis- stand
point. Had Lincoln issued his emanci-
patton proclamation the first year of his
administration he would have ruined
everything. Prohibition could not now
be made a national issue. In attempt
ing TO force It upon the people ST John
lays himself open 70 the charge Of being
controlled moro for the qualification of
ambition than for uHselfsh devotion TO
principle. Such . course by 3
champion Is always hurtful
TO his cause. The Republican party Is
the oOly one that has shown any respect
for or given any attention TO the de-
mands Of temperance people. The Re-
publican party put prohibition in the
constitution and laws Of Ksnses and
Iowa, and Acknowledges its claims IL
their platforms for these states. After
doing this, the prohibiiionists turn and
slap the Republican party in the face
and nominate . ticket, which action can
only inJure the Republican party. They
make war on their best friend.
st. John is more responsible than any
other one man for leading the RepublI
cans Of Kansas to their present position
on Temperance. Getting them there h
deserts them and goes of after q foolish
dream for fame. They made him whai
he is because he was the representative
Of an idea He could have done fal
more good for temperance as a leader II
Kansas than he can as = candidate of |
"torlorn hope" If be supposes he il
going to disrupt the Republican party
In Kansas he is mistaken. The pro
hibltiOnIsts believe they can do NOR,
good with the party that has giveI
them all they have gained, rather thai
Is a faction. They are fighting no
for Mr.. st. Johns personal schemes
but for the principle.

FACTS rs. THEORY.


The college presidents and professors
who support Cleveland in preference to
Blaine because the former Is a free ira d.
er and the latter q prOtectionist, have
not taken time to study the wonderful
progress of the industrial and agricul-
tural interests OF the Republic 80 fOrci
bly, depicted by Mr.. Blaine. The facts
are invincible, and count as q lOcOmo-
tive against baby wagon IN controver-
sy with their theoretical doctrines upon
commerce and industry, which
would stop the wheels OF
Industry in our country
and set in motion as many more In Eu
rope, especially In England. Their
theories per BE may be correct enough
but conditions are not considered. They
strongly overlook the fact that Europe
was engaged hundreds of years IN estab-
fishing her commerce under tariffs that
protected her industries, and that the
United States has no resort but protec-
lion TO equalize the situation. The pro-
fessors might as we'll tell US that the
merchant with 100000 capital, and hi.
clerk are equally strong in the market.
They strangely overlook the fact tba
the American workingman cannot make
himself intelligent and stand proudly a.
an independent citizen if he is COM
PEELED to compete on equal terms with
the cheap labor Of Europe. The genius
of tree trade in Europe was developed
in the reduction of the price OF labor
and impoverishment of work
ingmen. The practical genius of pro
lection in the United States. in defiance
of all the school theories of free trade
has demonstrated that a tariff, gooC
wages and prosperity can and 90 rur
together. We do not care for the fines
theories and ablest arguments in face o
the practical facts as exhibited in every
part of the country under protective
laws, even II they are not nicely sd
| iusted.

ANoNG THE WoRKTNGKEN

AMONG THE HORhING.HEN.
Much has been said about the disaffec-
ton among the Democratic Working
men of New York city At the nomina-
ton of Cleveland. To get at the real
feeling. the Irish World sent its report
ers into the chops and factories among
the workingmcn themselves, with in
structions to give reports exactly as they
found them. Some thirty i've or forty
establishments were visited, which en-
pIoy over 5000 men. Most Of these are
Democrats. and the large majority Of
them Irishmen. They found the men
outspoken in their opposition
to Cleveland. While few
said they would not vute
at all, aud others said they would vote
for Ben Butler, at lie Ist three fourths de
clared openly they would support
Blaine. The manufacturers as well
IS the workmen expressed themselves
very positively against the free trade
tendencies OF the party. This wAl
especially th case with those from for
eign countries who have had a taste o
European free trade as practically ap
piled to business. There is no doub
but that the tue has fairly set in agaIns
the Democratic patty among the grea
industrial classes, and the indications .
this time are that it, defeat will be over
Whelming.
