LONDON, Sept, 20.-The Chronicle and

course in arresting Messrs. O'Brien and
Dillon, Assuming that the object of
the government is to prevent the Alneri-
can mission, they say the desired re-
suit will not be accomplished by the
detention of these prisoners Other
Nationalist will be sent to America in
their stead, and what the delegates of
minor fa1ue lack in eloquence and logic,
will be more than compensated for by
the story they will be able to tell of per-
secution aad injustice.

SOME ASPECTS AS TO OTHER CANDIDATES
FOR STATE oEFrCERs.
The other candidates on the peoples
state ticket, other than Mr.. Willis, had
pluralitles In the five counties Of Elk,
Kiowa, Morris and Pawnee.

han he had, and in DOniphan county
where he was 735 votesahead Of Mr.. Ives,
here WAS 1929 majority against the pro-
libltion amendment TO the constitution.
indeed, in these twenty-ohe counties that
Mr.. Kellogg carried there was only 1913
majority In favor Of that amendment 10
1880.
Governor Robinsons vote was greater
han that Of Governor Humphrey in the
counties Of Barton, Ellis, Ellsworth,
Ford, Geary, Leavenworth, sedgwlck

The vote Of the state has decreased

republicans can show a lessened vote Of

prohibitiOnlsts, $500, and II the union

It is patent to the close student Of af-
fairs, that the republican party is In as
poor a state OF political health as was the
whig party under the Taylor Fillmore ad-
ministration Of 1850. Benjamin Harrison,
is as abnoxiOus TO great mass Of men
who voted him into the presidency as
was Millard Fillmore to a large body Of
his whig supporters In the autumn Of
that memorable political year, 1850.
"The ere.enactment Of the fugitive slave
law Of l708," on September tS, 1850, was
no more repugnant to a large body Of
wings than was the Mckinley tariff act
Of November 1, 1880, to a great mass Of
free men within the ranks Of the repub-
lican party. Hence, the republicans
might now, with asagscious wisdom-did
they but give any visible evidence Of hav-
ing any--remember these forcible words
Of the poet statesman, William Cullen
Bryant:
Truth, crushed TO earth, shall rise again,
The eternal years OF God are hers:
But error, wounded dies with pain
Amid its blinded wOrshIppers.
The last two lines are slightly parOdied |
SO as to apply to the Buchan, Humphrey,
Hudson and Ingalls, republican managers
of Kansas in 1890, whose body Of syco-
phantic followers is growing weakly and
weekly less, as ''the grand old party" is
unconsciOusly, from appearances march
