MR.. ST. JOHN.
Did He Leave the Republican Party
or Did the Party Leave Him.


Ex-Gov. st. John is reported as having
said at a recent public meeting. that he left
the Republican party June IA, 1884, at p. m.
Assuming this report to be correct we accept
the unusual definiteness of the record, but
regret its incompleteness, and find that it
seems to devolve upon us to show when the
Republican party left Mr.. st. John, which
appears to have occurred at an earlier date
than above named.
In 1880, John P. st. John was nominated
by the Republicans of Kansas as their candi-
date for governor, and according to Apple
toms Cyclopedia for that year, ''his main
strength consisted in his ardent prohibition
proclivities"
On this basis of ardent prohibitionism he
received the enormous vote of 115, ,204, while
the Democratic candidate had 63,577 votes,
the Greenback candidate 19,477, and there
were 602 scattering The record seems to
show pretty conclusively that Republicans
supported their candidate very Loyalty.
At the same election the vote on constitu-
tional prohibition was: For amendment
93,2O2; against amendment, S4.304; and for
presidential electors the Garfield ticket had
121 ,529 votes the Hancock ticket had SO, 729
votes, the Greenback ticket had 1915 votes
The banner Republican State of the ma
tion was thus recording its vote for constitu-
tional prohibition, and giving plurality of
more than $4,000 votes for a candidate for
his ardent pro6ibitf8if pff consisted in

first originated" What opportunity Mr..

with others of the family. By Williams

when his nomination for Congress was an

August II, 1910, and, of course, was between
eight and nine years old when he fitted him

President and Secretary were in search. 1t

GLOUCESTER, Aug. 31.-Schooner Legal
Tender arrived today. Capt. Devine tells
how he came near being seized while in
Canadian harbor on the way to the Banks.
He called at Shay Harbor, where he and the
crew belonged to see friends, and shipped
two men. The Custom House being at Bar
rington, five miles distant, he did not enter.
Learning that the cruiser Terror was at
Shelburne, he did not remain long, but went
on the Banks, where fare of fish was pro-
cured On the way home he called at Bar
rington for water, entering at the Custom
House. The crew, who belonged in that
vicinity, going home to see friends, did not
fill the water tanks until morning, when a
boat came alongside as she was getting under
way. containing two. men. One came on
board, representing himself to be customs
officer, and saying that the vessel was seized
in the name Of the Queen for shipping in
violation of the fishing laws. The vessel
then being under way, Captain Deyine told
the officer if he did not leave he would carry
him TO Gloucester. When about two miles
outside broad arrow was put on the main
mast and the officer, finding they were in
tending to carry him away, left, saying he
would seize the vessel IL she ever came into
the harbor again, Six of the crew who We're
at home seeing friends were left and took
the steamer from Yarmouth to Boston and
arrived here Monday. Water could not be
obtained or the vessel would have been
seized The vessel was spoken and supplied
with water on the way home. Capt Deyine,
who lives at Shay Harb0r, says the people
down there are sick of the abusive laws, for
they are inflicting great injury on them.

Gas as a Motor.
To The Editor of the Press !:

10 Lhe Eult0f OF Ne ET6SS.
Gas is good thing, but in green hands it
is liable to explode with mischieyous re-
suits. This has been exemplifed by 1.-THE
rising statesman of New England" other
wise called w. III. Clifford, who seeks to
promote the interests of the laboring men
by their giving him a seat in Congress. Al
ready there have been three disastrous explo-
sions. First, while the President was IN
search of solicitor general, an effusiye
despatch was sent out from Washington,
Clifford being there, that his name was
under favorable consideration for the posi-
ton. But the President pricked that bub-
BILE, and decided that the solicitors office
could not run by gas. The explosion was
heard all over the country, because Clifford
has "a national reputation" and similar
dispatches have been sent to various parts OF
the country.
But gas as motive power was sucn a
prime factor for promoting the public good'
as seen by its employer, that other expert
| ments soon followed.
The next was this: Ccntemporaneously
