While we are talking about COM
ments on party leaders by prominent
men of the same party ,0let us look up
the past months history.
On the morning of the day Thurman
was nominated for vice president in st.
LOUIS, Chairman W. Fl. Barnum, of
the Democratic National Committee,
said to st. Louis Republic reporter:
My choice for vice president is, and
always has been, Hon. d. NJ. Dickin-
son, of Detroit. In my Opin-
ion it is neither good politics, nor for
the best interests of the party and
country that Mr.. Thurman or Mr.. Gray
should be nominated-the former be-
cause of his great age, and the latter
because of his inability. /
respect no man living more highly than
Allen G. Thurman, but do not think
his nomination will be wise.
We might as well nominate corpse
and I'm not particularly favorable to
corpses on the National ticket.
The Thurman boom is now at white
heat, but l am afraid it will cool down
after the convention adjourns very
quickly.
The prediction made by Mr.. Barnum
is being verified by the feeling of today.
The red bandanna is not proving a
sufficient platform upon which to seat
the old Roman.

For the information of the Abilene
REFLECTOR we will state that John
Martin, of Topeka, will be the next
nominee of the Kansas democracy for
governor. Please bear this in mind.
l-[Gazette.
We shall be very much pleased if the
prediction of our e. C. shall prove true.
1t always affords the REFLECTOR pleas
ure to observe a reformation for the
better in any political party. Mr.. Mar
tin is neither the mullet-head nor the
hypocrite which has been domineering
Kansas democracy for the past ten
years. He possesses great many good
qualities which are unknown to any of
the former Democratic aspirants for
gubernatorial hOnors. His personal
life is fairly good and his judicial ca
reer creditable. He has long desired an
Office. His only opportunity to run for
governor came once in 1882 when his
party adopted platform which was so
unpatrlOtlc, dlSnOneSt and rOCten Cnat
Mr.. Martin would not stand upon it.
The same elements which adopted that
nauseous platform at Emporia in 1882
are still at the head of Kansas Democ
racy, and are now demanding that the
party shall take the same retros ressive
step that it then took. If Mr.. Martin
is nominated, it will not be because his
party is any better but because its lead
ers realize the fact that it is necessary
to keep in sight at least of the
progressive civilization of the day. If
Mr.. Martin is nominated, he will pos
sibly carry the strength of his party in
this State.

This is the worst that the New York
Times (mugwump) can say of the Re-
publican nominees:
Every good acknowledgements, Re-
publican, or mugwump- ought to feel
some share of satisfaction in the refus-
al of great party to make second
canvass for the Presidency under the
unhealthy conditions in which the Re
publicans, not unwillingly, allowed
themselves to be placed in 1884. Hav-
ing these reasons to be content with
the outcome of their convention, the
Republicans may also find some posi-
tive virtues in their candidate.
Albeit not great man, Gen. Harri-
son is a citizen of the Republic who
has done worthily such share of public
work as has devolved upon him. He
was, in the first place, a brave soldier.
At Resaca and Peachtree Creek he
won no meagre title to military re-
nown. There, if nowhere else, he has
shown himself worthy of his grandsire.

Encouraging Report OF the Kansas Crops Oh
All Kinds.
TOPEKA, Kan, July 4-The Kansas Farmer
presents reports from special correspond
ents in seventy counties Of the State, show
ing a very good condition Of things
generally among the farmers. Wheat is
the best since 1881 and is about all har-
vested and saved. Heavy yields are re-
ported in many cases and the average will
be fully equal to that Of the best year
twenty-five bushels to the acre. The corn
acreage is the largest ever reported in
any one year in the States his
tory, and the stand and condition are re-
ported good in every part of the State.
With favorable weather there will be ZOO
100000 bushels to show for the work Of
1888. In the new counties farmers are in a
happy mood as corn, millet and grasses Of
all kinds are growing vigorously, and gar
den vegetables are in luxuriant growth,
and alfalfa, sorghum, rice and corn
are in the best possible condition.
Rye is good everywhere A few 10
calities suffered from dry weather
and chinch bugs in early June, and an oc-
casional field of corn has been attacked
along the edges by bugs, but these excep-
tions are really very few. The truth Is
that Kansas as a whole is in excellent con-
dition with encouraging prospects all along
the line. There Is plenty Of time yet to
make up for all shortages in the earlier
mart of the season.

commIftaa Condemned.

CHICAGO, July 3.-The failure OF the Sen
ate Committee yesterday to recommend
the appointment of Melville W. Fuller as
CHIEF Justice has called out some warm
condemnation at his home here by mem
bers Of both political parties. The Demo-
Gratis are particularly severe, one Of their
leaders, Judge NJ. N. Tuley, saying: II
think the committees action Is disgrace
to them and to the Senate. 1t looks like an
attempt to postpone action until after cleo
ton. II the Senate comes to vote on the
subject do not doubt his confirmation. L
certainly hope here are enough Repu bic
an Senators who will rise above such de-
spicable action as that Of the committee.
II would be different If Mr.. Fuller did not
stand so high. Ii will be poor party policy
to hang up the nomination Of such a per-
fectly spotless man as Melville w. Fuller.

The magnificent forest eagle, which
was suspended over the presidents
chair in the Democratic National con-
vention, and which attracted so much
attention, was captured in Macoupin
forest, near Plainview, ILL.,, by Harry
Thomas, mighty hunter; was mounted
and arranged by Mrs. A. n. Yancey,
of Bunker Hill, and by her presented
to the Democratic campaign club of
Gillespie, who kindly loaned it to the
decorative committee of the convention
hall. The club will promptly bear it
at the head of its column in the great
contest of 18SS.-LSt. Louis Republic.
This is one instance where the proud
American bird was out of place. An
effigy of the lion and unicorn would
have been more appropriate. had that
eagle been in possession of all its fac
ulties we venture that it would not
have stayed in that hall five minutes
after hearing the Democratic platform
read.
