The cry raised by the democrats
that l.. u. Humphrey was engaged
in the banking business was squelehed
rather suddenly by the capital retail
ating by showing that John Martin
owned about 100000 worth of mort
cages OF course, it is nObody's busi-
ness how either candidate has his
money invested. If they choose to
invest it in mortgages or bank stock
they have just as much right to do so
as the farmers have to invest in cattle
or hogs and it is a very weak and silly
argument on the part of the demo-
Gratis, who raised hue and cry againt
Governor Humphrey, because by indus
try and good business management he
has accumulated a few Thousand dol
lars and invested it in bank stock. The
truth is Governor Humphrey came to
Kansas like the most of us, a poor
man, but by industry and close atten-
tiOn to business he accumulated some
money and invested it in land, which
i'll the course of time, advanced in
value until he sold it a few years ago
when he found himself with a snug
little fortune, which he put away in
the bank, and being q prudent and
careful business man. he was chosen
president, and that is the sum total OF
that democratic yell about the banker
andidate.-Baldwin Lecger.

to-day. the subject of union with the
Canadian Church came up. At the
CLOSE of the speeches pro and con, q
series of .resolutions were read, declar :
ing the union contaminated and all th {
conditions fulfilled, and that the
general conference will support i!
as strongly as possible. When the
vote came to be taken by yeas
and nays, many voters desired to ex-
plain their position or to favor the
nnion. but not the clause which said
all the conditions had been fulfilled.
The audience was in continuous up
roar, and owing TO the number of ex-
plantations made, the vote proceeded
Slowly. When Bishop Payne was
called, he said the union was based on
deception, suppression and absolute
lying, and voted against it. This
created a sensation and some Kisses
were heard. ALI the rest of the bishops
voted yea and the resolutions we're
adopted.
