John y. Martin is on the anxious
seat; he has no rest; the bent pin of in
consistency is on one chair; the bent
pin of prohibition in another; anti-pro-
hibitiOn is probing him on every hand:
his hands itch with burning to grasp
the hand Ofhis party which offers no full
hand; the people are weary of the don't
know where to find him; the prohibition
lists are shy of him; the ants size him
mp in the same category as the Irish
mans flea; all is confusion and chaos:
fanaticism is getting delirious to the
fanatics, and making nervous the
wOuld-be conservatives. Whittier are
we drifting? Electors of Kansas want
this foOlishness stopped. Kansas wants
an Executive with convictions and
nerve enough to stand by them-a plat
form of principles and not of inconsis-
tencies. John ~, you are ratified and
Kansas is ratified, but common sense
and good judgment will prevail and the
nominee of the Leavenworth convention
will be the next Governor Of Kansas.

THE ORPHANS, FAIR.
1t Still Runs with Constantly I'm
creasing Attendance.

The Catholic orphans fair did not close
last night, as an afternoon paper stated it
would for the reason that the attendance
has been constantly growing and much
more interest is manifested than during the
first few days. The sale of admission
tickets has been large for two or three
evenings past, and unless the rush ceases
additional ticket sellers will have to be Sc
cured. The young ladies running for the
various prizes have many friends, and when
the total number of votes they have received
is made public it will surprise all except the
Young ladies themselves McGill still leads
Mayor Ames in the gubernatorial race by
some fifty votes, but this is no indication of
how the contest will end. The ''blind
vote" is what is going to count, and the
mayors friends are confident that he will
win. Several ladies have Interested them
selves in his behalf. The ladies having for
sale bouquets are true artists and are reap
ing golden harvest. 1t is highly probable
that the Ancient Order of Hibernians will
turn out in full regalia and attend the
fair before it closes, as it has
been done in times gone by.
The board of managers Of the orphan asy-
lum complain of the absence OF many
wealthy residents of the various parishes,
who seem to manifest no interest whatever
in the success or failure of the fair, at a
time when funds are absolutely necessary
to meet the expenditure of building the
new asylum. They expect to sect hem all
do their duty before the close of the fair,
and in the event of their non-attendance a
conspicuous place for future reference will
be allotted them on the black list of alb
sentees.
