In speaking of the Breckenridge-Clay-
ton imbroglio the Leavenworth Times
thinks Mr.. Breckenridge should have re-
signed at once when the contest came
up and thus save all this bother and
scandal. This is asking or expecting too
much. If he was not elected to the seat
it was not his to resign, and to have quit
at the beginning would have been vir-
tual acknowledgement that he was at
least particeps criminis in the affair,
which is unnatural and not expected
however guilty he may be. To our
mind the course and the result of the
whole proceeding was the only reason
able one that could have been pursued;
and yet as to the final outcome it was
but pro forma proceeding, as he will
no doubt ask for an endorsement from
his constituency and it will be given

At the time of his death, General Ere
mont was engaged upon paper for the
Century's forthcoming series on the
California gold-hunters. Finding Paths
to California was not only to deal with
the several exploring expeditions, but
to narrate the writer's intimate connec-
ton with the events which led to the
conquest and occupation of the territory.
A first draft of the article had been made,
and the work will be completed by Mrs
Fremont, who has already written an
introduction for It, as well as a supple
ment describing her life at Monterey in
1910

publican principles at the present time
The Farmers, Alliance are referred to it
with the positive assurance that it pro
vides for all their wants and meets all of
their demands. The Democrats, too, are
completely disarmed by the broad and
catholic provisions of that superb instru-
ment. But somehow or other neither
the Alliance feilers nor Democrats are
falling over each other in the scramble
to get on the aforesaid platform. But
that's ali right: if they don't want it they
don't have to take it: there viii be plenty
of Republicans to occupy all the avail

excerpt from the Republicans columns
Will give a more accurate idea of its

Plumb did the same thing, and the same

that Senator Plumb is not openly fight

A Sort OF a Political Topsey

From the Pratt Register DemJ
The convention which framed and
adopted that platform and nominated
HallOwell for congress was nothing more
nor less than a caucus-a party gather
ing for a specific purpose. Every doc
trine that it enunciated pertalned to
economic questions-and it permits the
candidate to repudiate them all. Mr.
Hallowell is not the Republican candi-
date-he is the candidate of no party,
represents no idea. stands upon no plat
form. and can make no demands upon
party feaity for support.
