The Democrat two months ago predicted
that Judge Martin would be nominated
by reclamation for governor. We now
predict that he will run 10000 votes ahead
of Cleveland and Thurman in this state
Topeka Democrat.
He may do that, though we doubt it,
and he will still lack as many or more of
an election. The cheap satisfaction of the
distinction and prestige with the party
is all the recompense there is in store for
any Democratic candidate for state Of
fee this year. Clicks luck, which was
mere matter of accident, will not be re-
peated again for a decade or two at
least,

Were Judge John Martin. the Demo
cratic nominee for governor, more a
demagogue, and had he permitted the
silence of the Democratic platform on
the subject of re-submission to remain
unbroken, he would no doubt have re-
ceived considerable number of prohi-
bition votes, by reason of his course in
enforcing the prohibitory laws while
judge of the district court at Topeka
(The instrument was framed especially to
fit the case in view of the certainty of
his nomination in advance But after
the adoption of the platform and his
nomination the judge made an occasion
to announce his hostility to the the pro-
hibitory amendment and statutes and his
determination to do ali in his power to
defeat both-as uncompromisingly op-
posed to prohibition on principle. The
judge may be sincere in his declaration.
but good many people suspect he had
in his minds eye the anti-prohibition
vote outside of his own party, which he
counted to be larger than the prohibition
he could hope to receive.

The free traders continue to harp On
the declaration Of Ex-Mayor Low, of
Brooklyn that he does not favor the
high ground the Republican party took
in its platform on the tariff question,
but they are as dumb as clans concern
ing the public announcement made by
Ex-Mayor Grace of New York, a few
days ago that he could not stomach
Cleveland and his free trade notions and
would support Harrison and Morton.
That was test of fairness that is too
severe for the average Democrat.

Kansas Democrats find particular de-
light, in the absence of any personal dis
qualification, ip prating about heredity
in the case of General Harrison, the Re-
publican nominee for president, utterly
oblivious to the fact that their own state
ticket embraces a candidate whose name
and claimed relationship to the tail of
the Democratic presidential ticket was
his chief recommendation for place on
the state ticket. There is this difference
in the two cases, however: General
Harrison is known to fame not only on
account of his lllustrious ancestry, run
ming back through centuries, but on &C
count of his own distinguished services
to his country, both in military and
civil capacity, and his own distinguishing
fitness for any position within the gift of
the people, while their ideal statesman
in embryo was wholly unknown outside
his own bailiwick prior to his nomina-
ton, and was taken up by his party
solely with the hope that his name might
lend the party and its ticket little
strength. Their acts in this last connec-
ton are as demagogical as is their cry
against Harrison.

Mr.. EDIToR-It would seem from the
re?ding of the card in vonr last issue
signed John R. Nelson, that he had ac-
tually slandered Capt. Crockett. Now
I want it distinctly understood, that he
does not acknowledge any such thing:
he says he was very much ilTitated over
The tri1ing manner of Capt Crockett in
tile bargain and sale Of that piece of land
there. and possibly he said more than he
ought to have said. as being members
of the same church, but as to saying
anything that any one could construe
to mean SANDER he did not, and had it
not been to crafty some personal re-
venge in some outsiders there would
have been nothing more CT it. And l
will here say, think l have had a
chance to hear about as much as any one
else. and l will testify before the high
est tribunal in the country. that have
never heard him SANDER Capt Crockett
in my life. It is only natural that Capt.
Crockett should feel offended and even
injured at hearing such reports, and he.
John II Nelson, wishes to say. that if
he did say anything in the heat nf pas
sion That he ought not to have said, lie
would ask his PARDON. or make any con-
cession that is honol able and right.
