LYMAN NJ. HUMPHREY,
NOMINATED FOR THE GOvERNORsHIP
OF KANSAS.

There is hardly the possibility that
Mr.. Humphrey, now state senator OF
the commonwealth of Kansas, can be
defeated in his race for the governor
ship. His opponent, Mr.. John Martin,
is a popular man, but the odds in
party advantage are greatly IN favor
of the republican nominee.
Mr.. Humphrey is one OF the IRE
pressible Ohio men. He was born in
Stark county, that state, on July %,
1874. He was school boy at Massil-
lon when the war broke out. At the
call for volunteer soldiers he enlisted
in an Ohio regiment, of which he was
soon made first lieutenant. He was
only twenty when he assumed the
rank of captain. Mr.. Humphrey
fought in the battles effort Donelson,
Pittsburg Landing, Corinth, partici-
pated in the siege of Nicksburg, and
had part in the struggle at Chattanoo-
ga, and at Atlanta and in the neigh
bOrhOod. The young soldier was
twice wounded i'll the field of battle.
With the return of peace Mr.. Hum
phrey resumed his studies, entering
Mount Union college. At the end OF
his course there he went to Ann Ar
Dor, Michigan, as a student of law in
the university located in that pretty
city. In the year 1868 he was adj
mitted to the bar in his native state.
He afterwards removed to Shelby
county, Missouri, where he engaged
in newspaper work. His next move
was migration to the state which is
about to honor him with the rank of
it's first citizen. He settled at indie
dependence, Montgomery county, in
February, 1871 one in a partnership of
two formed for the practice of the law.
This connection lasted until 1875,
since when Mr.. Humphrey has been
without business partner.
His active political career began in
1876, when he was elected member
of the house in the state Legislature.
Mr.. Humphrey was two years mem.
Der of the republican state central
committe. He was elected state SEN
ator in 1884. Last year he was chosen
to ill! vacancy in the office OF lieu
tenant-governor, and was subsequent
ly reelected to the office by a large
majority.

Looking After His Hedges.

FnllsueIpnl1 fTtsS'
The democrats see that this open
assault upon the industries of the
country is driving thousands out of
the democratic ranks. They see that
in o battle between protection and
free trade there can be only one re-
suit. And so the word that is passed
along the democratic headquarters is,
hedge, hedge, hedge-and the only
explanation of Mr.. CIeveland's unpre-
cedented delay is that he is getting
ready to hedge.

Vessels That Have Piowed the Seas for

A halo of glory surrounds our old

the vessels of the mercantile marine.
The average life of merchant ship is
from ten TO fifteen years. Many sur

painful old age No matter how favor

and her end is pitiable- Her early

Laden with fragrant teas and simmer

apace and she is sold at last to the Nor
