CLOSE OF THE CONVENTION.
Last nights Meeting. st. JOhI

Last Nights Meeting. - st. John
Speaks.
Al O'Clock in the evening a large
crowd assembled in the park to hear the
address by ex- Gov J p. st John. After
the torches had been lighted, the band
played few airs aud all the people had
seated themselves who could, Governor
st. John took the stand and opened his
address. The governor proceeded first to
that the Rep lbl'cau party was the
mother of prohibition. He endeavored
TO show that in season and out of season
the Republican party had always opposed
prohibition, and he CHALLENGED any one to
prove to the contrary. The Republican
party was partner in the liquor traffic
that IL, the party had passed revenue
tax of 90 cents Per gallon. 1t was sold
for $1.l0. Hence the government, in the
hands of the r. publicans, too. was an IN
terested partner to the extent of nine
elevenths-the disiiller owning only
twc-elevenths. He told mis- experience 81
Washington in folding liquor in both
house and senate restaurants of the capitol
-48 kinds in the senate and 80 in the
house.
The speaker said that when he was gov.
ernor of Kansas the government issued
only 1887 liquor licenses per year in Kan
sas. Under his successor, Click, 2,773
while under Republican Martin the fig
ures were 1854.
We had now the Republican drug store
In place OF the Democratic saloOn-anotheH
interesting development of Republican
motherhood Of prohibition. We now had
snake bites in January.
And then the governor paid his atten-
ton to John A. Anderson and his sue.
cessor Wilson. Here was case of polit
icsl evolution under the motherhood OF
the Republican party from Anderson to
Wilson
He next paid his attention to the recent
Republican convention where g resolution
by ID. X. Anthony to suppress the liquor
traffi; by search seizure law was ignomi-
nously rejected. "Oh, such a motherI"
"God help The child "
Yes, he b I'd been called trailer, and
otherwise abused. Was Plumb a traitor

permits, how long would it take to make

G. vernon St. John was followed by Mr.
Lincoln who talked on the labor reform
idea. His remarks were apt and to the
point on that question. He is an interest
ing speaker and was attedtively listened
to by the large audience.

BASE BALL an ABILENE.

The following card sppeaied IN the Ali
lene Gazrtte this morning, and will proba.
bly, be read with interest by those interest
ed In base ball matlers:
To TIE PUBLIC: The undersigned di-
rectors of the Abilene base ball club re-
gretfully apologize for the poor playing
exhibited by certain members Of our
club during the last four games played
We had spared no expense TO strengthen the
nine for the Emporia games. We have de
cided that It was tor the best interests of the
club that Messrs. Burke and Eames should
be released from their contract and we
have done so. We hereby pledge ourselves
topresent to the people wIthin short time
q much stronger team than We could here
tofoTe boast of.
HENRY LIFTS,
q. o. STERL,
+. e. DEWEY,
L. II. FAULKNER,
w. H. SMITH.
These men are the late battery for the
Abilenes, who played last season at Atch-
ison and Clyde, when they fret came here
and played ball IN every sense of the word,
the club winning eleven successive games.
Lately they received an offer Of q slight
increase in salary from Delphos, Kansas,
and have been playing for their release.
There are dark rumors rife of rottenness
and throwing of the game by Esmes in
connection with the last Wakeeney-Ab-
ilene game in which he was batted out of
the box, and hardly q man being struck
out by him.
In the third game of the Emporia-
Abilene amateur championship series,
which was won by the Emporias, Esmes
was again batted out of bis box. The
second game was lost to the AbileDes by
errors of Burke on the third base and
Eames on short stop. There is great in
dignAtion among the citizens, and many OF
the stockholders of the club threatened to
repndiete their stock IL they we're allowed
to plaV another game.

DEAR DoCToR-I have this day In.
spected our county Jail and find It In az
good q condition as the building will
| permit. All the cells have recently been
| sEhiteWashed, dislnfected, and otherwise
in as cleanly condition as they could
possibly be put. It IL true the building
| Is inadequate, and IL so arranged archi-
tecEually that proper ventilation cannot
be obtained, but In order to improve the
present condition radical alterations
would have TO 6e hiade ii the building
and l do not think 1t advisable at this
| iuncture to recommend the county com.
| missioners to go to any very great ex-
pense as the question Of erecting q new
court house and jail is at present under
discussion by the people Of Lyon county.
All Of the people seem alive to the fact
that q new building Is needed and there
/ is no doubt that before long they viii
have one. Very respectfully yours,
