A Democratic paper has the fol-
lowing "Suppose Kansas is Re-
publipan State, and elected Repub-
lican governor by something less than
twenty-five thousand majorlty-that
don't in the least affect the soil and
climate. Just as much wheat, corn
or barley per acre will be raised in
Kansas next yerr as if Tom Moon
light had been elected governor. The
Lord, who controls the elements, the
rains, the dew, the sunshine, has mt
got thing to do with politics. He
looks over the efforts of the husband
men, and rewards them in his own
way 1t Is observed however that
Democratic papers in Kansas always
suppress paragraphs of this nature
before election.

Gen. Chas. ". Blair says that the
Democratic party OF Kansas has re-
solved for the last time against pro-
hibition. Judge John Martin says
the same thing. These gentlemen
propose to take q full hand at the
next Democratic State convention,
and see that the Moonlight whisky
gang does not run things, as it did in
the last convention. Gen. Blair and
Judge Martin very sensibly say tsaat
if the Democratic party has no better
platform than whisky, and has for its
object only the re-establishment of
the saloons, it is time that it should
die.-[Champion.

In 1860 there were only ten towns
in Kansas having a population of 500
each only three having 1000 each,
and only one having 5000 inhabitants.
In 1880 there were 80 towns each
having population in excess of 500;
Sc towns had each over 1000; six
had over 5000 and three had over
$4,000. In 1885 each of 154 towns
had over 500 each; 81 towns and
cities had each over 1000; 12 had
each over 5000; six had each over
10000; four had each over $4,000
and two had each more than 10000.

he decided in favor of the former by
issuing proclamation organizing
Morton county and designating Rich
field as the county seat. Ever since
the election these towns have had
representatives in Topeka presenting
their claims. The organization of
Morton county leaves but four coun-
ties unorganized in Kansas, and it is
quite probable that these four will be
organized within the next year, or at
least before Governor Martins second
term expires.
