Hon. N. II. Murdock Editor Of the Eagle:

Hon. NJ n. Murdoch. Editor Of the Eagle:
WICHITA, Kan, Sept. %.
DEAR SIR-Will you please publish the
enclosed resolution and. greatly oblige
the Wichita Republican club:
Very Truly,
II. IMBoDEN, Pres.
Whereas, At a recent convention called
by the Republican central committee of
Sedgwick county certain candidates were
nominated for the various county offices,
aud platform was adopted embracing in
one of its planks a policy directly opposed
TO the prohibitory policy of the Republican
party of Kansas. and
Whereas, Said candidates have been re-
spectfully asked by this club TO state their
position OH this question, as well as
whether they intend TO support the nomi-
nees of the state Republican convention. TO
which reasonable request these gentlemen,
asking for Republican votes, have re-
manned absolutely silent and have not
shown to this club even the courtesy of a
reply, therefore, be it
Resolved, That we. the members of the
Republican club of Wichita, do hereby de
clare that we are not, either collectively or
individually, under any obligation what
ever, in party sense, to support any of
said candidates. We do hereby reaffirm
our feaity to the Republican party of the
state and nation, and its platforms, and
pledge our support to its nominees.
Resolved, That this resolution be pub
lished in the Wichita Daily EAGLE

Apropos of the recent numerous tenn
pests and cyclones all over Europe, The
Boston Transcript gives some very inter
eSting facts about the great tempest of
1903, which extended over the whole of
Europe and continued for week with
unparalleled violence-more especially in
England. 1t reached its eliminating
point ON Saturday November p, of that
year. The losses in London were COM
puted at $4,000, 900: the streets were en-
numbered with the ruins of houses; the
number of persons drowned in the rivers
Thames and Severn and in the vessels
which broke away from their anchorage
and which were never heard of after
ward, was by estimation 5000, besides
which twelve ships of war. with 1,S00
men and 525 cannons foundered within
sight of land: LOO trees in Kent were
torn up by the roots, and on one estate
in Worcestershire 600 trees averaging
eighty feet in height were uprooted in a
space of five acres. The Eddystone light.
house was destroyed, and large num-
Der of cattle persisted.

One thing John j. Ingalls, succeeded in
doing by his Pittsburg speech, namely, in
preventing the most remote possibility of
his receiving one Democratic vote in the
legislature next winter for United States
senator-Topeka Democrat.
Bless your unsOphisticated soul, the
senator didn't and doesn't count on sup
port from that quarter for a reelection,
for he knows full well that he would
never get it in any event. But if it
amounted to anything in the Kansas
Legislature worth considering as to
strength and influence, he would still
not hesitate to speak his mind; he is not
constructed on that principle.

REsUBMIsSION REPUBLICANS.


The Republican County convention
this fall, in response TO a large majority
sentiment Of the Republicans Of Sedgwicl
county nominated a county ticket on
Resubmission platform. The convention
could not have done otherwise with ever
q ghost of a show for the success of the
excellent and tried men named for the
ticket. Republicans on every corner, II
business places, in the board Of trade
rooms and on the farms, were recalling
and citing the causes of the Republican
defeat of last fall, and all the while In
sisting that the delegates should recog'
nize the wide spread demanded plank
providing for another vote on prOhibi-
ton. knowing that the convictions
and decisions of the state party
leaders were averse. and knowing, too,
the Alliance and the Democrats
and the third party Prohibitionists would
all be against the Republican ticket, the
convention in the mildest manner SIM
ply stated the attitude of the Republi-
cans Of Sedgwick county, and instructed
their nominees for representatives to
vote in the legislature for resub-
uniting the prohibition question to
the people of the state should the
opportunity offer. From resolutions
found elsewhere it would seem that an
other element. and one directly from
within our own ranks, We're threatening
TO oppose a ticket the names and records
of whose candidates have not even been
mildly criticized. much less disapprobat-
I'D. In the mean time the Democrats
are using all the sophistry at their COM
mand, every catch-word of which they
can think, and every prejudicial story
that they can invent, to get the promise
of the votes Of the very Republicans
whose behest the county convention so
strictly obeyed.
Now, whatever, or for whOmsoever,
the Alliance may vote, or the Democrats
support, or the Labor Unions advocate, or
the Prohibitionists bolt. the Resubmisson
Republicans Of Sedgwick county are in
all honor and by every pledge of party
and political faith, bound to stand by the
ticket Of the Republican party
which so strictly carried ont their
desires and wishes. If these Re
submission Republicans will not
udmit the right of the Prohibition wing
10 bolt, they themselves surely can find
no excuse for scratching a county ticket
whose nominees, without question or
protest of any character, accepted the
places assigned them, and who in making
their arduous and expensive canvass
are, in all good faith reasonably
expecting the vote and support of every
man who endorses the platform upon
which they Were placed. In their fail
IRE to DO this, honestly, earnestly and
enthusiastically the Resubmi5,ion Re
puhlicans not only stultify themselves,
sacrifice the men who accepted their
word in perfect confidence. but they will
say to the Republican party of the state
that the Republicans of Sedgwick county
did not know what they wanted. or
knowing, lacked the backbone to back
their own actions or to stand by their
own ticket.

Mr.. Blair bobbed up serenly yesterday
in the senate and insisted that the MEM
bers should sit still and listen to the
reading of his prohibitory amendment to
the constitution of the United States
Mr.. Blair was, of course convinced that
the senate would do nothing whatever
with his resolution except to let it die
quietly, and he wanted TO punish the
senators as much as possible. He is a
great success at inficting punishment,
not only upon the senate, but upon the
country at large.

The Globe-Democrat says: Mckinley
has the distinction of preparing the
worst tariff bill ever drawn up in a Re
publican congress. This bill is so bad
and 50 unjust that no Republican state,
congressional, dis riot OF county conven-
ton dared endorse it. The worst
feature connected with the matter Is that
after amending the bill as it passed the
house by eliminating or changing several
of its Objectionable features the senate
shows signs of weakening on its amend
ments, and the chances are that if the
bill is passed it will be substantially as it
originally passed the house. The EAGLE

One of the most interesting subjects
on which the census will throw light. will
be the comparative growth Of states and
cities, as it will show what proportions
this tendency of population moving
cityward" has reached in the last ten
years. The official figures of the popula-
ton of Connecticut, as quoted by the
Boston Transcript, show that though the
combined population of the three cities
of Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport
is about One-fourth the population of the
whole state. yet the increase in these
three is nearly one-half of the gain of the
entire state. This urban drift of popula-
ton will doubtless be shown in every
state, proving the growth of states to be
principally due to the growth of cities.

Misfortunes Never Come singly.

Railroad accidents always come in
triplets, say those who have noted the
matter. The accident on the Reading
road occurred Friday evening. On The
same day ten people were killed in a
railroad accident IN Mexico. Saturday
night occurred the wreck on the Chica-
go, Burlington & Quincy road, in which
eight We're killed or seriously wounded.
People who believe that misfortune
never come singly but that they come in
''threes, have their belief fortified in
this case at least.

To such an extent have the people of
Kansas been educated in the matter of
liquor drinking during the ten years of
prohibition in Kansas that should the open
saloons be again restored in the state the
probabilities are that nine out of ten of
them would fail for want of patronage.
