THE RESUBMISSION ORGANS.

The Wichita EAGLE has finally come
out flat-footed for resubmission. In a
long article on the 10Th. headed ''Re-
submission Kansas must have another
vote Oh the prohibition question:" it
favors resubmission policy Dy the
next legislation, and C concludes rs fol-
lows:
As Republican party measure. there

ment, good morals and the well-being of
society, We adhere TO the opinion expressed
by us few days since, that the quickest.
most satisfactory and altOg ether the most
honest way to determine the true status ct
this whole question is by another vote of
the people, taken not as a political or party
question. but as moral factor purely.

WHOOPED MIN DOWN.

The EAGLE was not talking unad-
visedly when it said that the Resub-
mission convention was but a blind in
the interests Of Democracy into which
few good Republicans had been in
weighed. AS was seen by our dispatch
es of yesterday, that convention r.
solved long, loudly and vchemently
that they were the only true blue Re-
publicans 10 be found in the stale. But
the secretary had scarcely finished
reading the platform before motion
was made to raise committee to con-
suit with the Democratic convention
as to what was next best to do. On
this question Hon. Reuben Playford,
of Usage, essayed TO speak, when he
was hOwled and whooped into silence.
Without even giving this misguided
Republican an opportunity to explain
his position the chairman ruled Play
ford out of order, amid the jeers of
the Democratic mob. Good enough.
That gathering Of malcOntents and
political loafers was no place for an
honest Republican.
