POOR OLD RRPURLICAN PARTY.

As an evidence Of the unexpected de-
cay of useless political organizations to
their most ardent votaries, it might be
we'll to look back nearly forty years ago,
and notice the disappearance Of the whig
party, 80 much a matter of surprise to
The advocate., 1890-10-29

A partial review OF the decadence Of
the whig party Of Massachusetts may
serve as a lesson 70 the grand old repub-
lican party OF Kansas, 80 lately thought
by Its managers TO be absolutely irwin
chile.
In 1863 Judge Emory Washburn, the
whig candidate for governor in the old
Bay State, received GO,472 votes. Bishop,
democratic candidate, had 35,254 votes.
Wilson, free soil candidate, had 29,545
votes. Wales, bunker candidate, had
0,105 votes.
The whole vote OF the state that year
reached for governor, 13l ,4OG. The vote
Of the state In 1864 was 129,0O7 Cover
nor Waahburn's vote dropped from co.
Az In 1853 to 27,270 in 1854. Bishops
vote dropped from 35,254 to l3.472 in one
year, and Henry Wilson's vote fell from
20,545 to 6,493, while Henry j. Gardiner,
representing a political movement not
known in Massachusetts, in 1868, had ST.
SOB votes, which gave him majority
over all the candidates Of 33,009.
Let II be remembered that the wings
lost 33,l93 votes in one year; the demo-
Gratis lost 2l,792, while the free soilers
lost 23,062 votes.
In 1866 the whig vote declined from
1854 to l4,454 a loss of 1895 votes. The
democratic vote went from l3,472 to a.
02O, gain Of 21,44S votes. Governor
Gardeners vote was nearly 10000 less
than 1t was in 1854, while there was a
new republican vote Of 36,521.
Now who can estimate the smallness Of
Humphreys vote In Kansas in 1890?

HOW THE LAW Is TRANPLED on.
To the Editor Of THE ADVOCATES
AS the republicans Of Kansas are bid
ding for the prohibition vote, think It
would not be amiss to give your readers
a few facts for them to consider. Last
spring the citizens Of Cheney elected a
mayor and council pledged to the en-
forcement Of the prohibitory law The
first step that was taken by the new
board was Immediately followed by a
midnight riot. The toughs Of the town,
led by the jointists, made the night hid
eous with their unearthly yells, such as
would have made the hair turn white on
a Comanches head. They ended their
orgies by setting fire to the city iail,
which was entirely consumed. AT an
other time they made preparations to tar
and feather the writer, who was the act
ing mayor at the time. Sometime later
on they broke into the school house and
mutilated and destroyed the property be-
longing to the principal Of the school,
for no other reason than that he was try
ing to enforce the laws. AS he is the
mayor he was merely doing his duty.
On the 18th Of last September two of the
principal toughs Of the town were con-
victed Of violating the prohibitory law.
One of them was back in twenty-four
hours attending to his business, and the
other one commenced driving a beer
wagon In Wichita right under the nose
Of the assistant attorney general and the
police commissioners. Neither Of them
lost more than twenty-four hours from
their business on account Of the convlc-
ton. We have tried to discover the rea-
son why sentence has not been passed on
them, but TO no avail. The whole busi-

DWARD II. FUNsTON's COMPLIMENT
TO SENATOR PLUMB.


Congressman Funston, while recently
making q campaign speech at Spring
Hill, Johnson county, was inquired Of by
one of his constituents, why he voted for
the Mckinley bill, while Senator Plumb
voted against it. The characteristic re-
sponse of this plutocratic slave was
couched in the following language:
I've nothing to do with PLUMB. He Is nothing
but miserable coward, afraid OF an uprising OK
the people. PLUMB IN no republican or he would
have voted with his party.
SO II seems that Representative Funs-
ton is willing to read Preston B. Plumb
out Of the republican party. Perhaps
he does not remember that 150 members
Of the present Kansas legislature out of
a membership Of 1856 we're for Mr.
Plumb when returned for the third time
to the United States Senate.
AS to Senator John j. Ingalls,, who,
with Funston, voted for the Mckinley
bill, and also with him was opposed to
the free coinage of silver, what dispas-
slonate observer Of men and events,
would suppose that Ingalls,, in the legis
lature of 1891, will come within 100 votes
Of obtaining what Plumb had at the
hands of the Kansas legislature of 1882
Who will guarantee twenty counties that
will elect Ingalls' representatives at the
election on November 4, 1s9OS Who is
the man?
The advocate., 1890-10-29

would pronounce the hanging Of these
men Just. But the Graphic tools shed
crocodile tears over the widowed mother
and poor orphan children turned adriit
What widows and orphansY The wid
ows and orphans Of the twelve men killed
by Pinkerion thugs at the Pemberton
mills, or was 1t the widows and orphans
fired upon by the st. Louis militia, obey,
Ing the orders Of republican monopollstsY
And now 20 conclude: The republl.
can party has been false 10 les platforms
from 1862 10 1883 inclusive. IL 10 solely
responsible for the present financial de-
preston and deplorable poverty Of the
people. IL has robbed the masses, built
up classes, fOstered trusts and monopo.
lies. 1t has spared not the aged nor In
firm. It's path is marked by blighted
hopes, blasted fortunes, ruined homes. IL
has degraded and polluted the pulpit and
the press till they deal only in ialsehood
and preiudices, and pronounce a virtue
that which the Son of Man declared CO.
equal with murder and idolatry. They
have done all that Satanic malice could
conceive TO rob and despoll a law abid-
ing, country loving and God honorlng
people. All this and more has been
proven by eminent republicans. The
official records Of the country prove It.
Three-fourths Of the republicans Of the
country who to-day compose the peoples
party stand ready to prove II. IL re-
mains for a tlmeserver in the Graphic
office 9kulking in female apparel la j.
Davis, or crouching behind Minerals
skirts to enlighten the dear people.
Minerva Walker has not written the
articles to which her name has been
signed. In the first place she doesn't
know enough-didnt know the differ
ence between anarchist and socialist. In
the second place / refuse to believe that
one Of my sex deAled her mouth by the
low slang and vile language that appears
In the Graphic. In either case the pub
Iic may judge Of the unenviable position
Miss Walker has placed herself In.
And now in view Of the mlsrepresenta-
ions made by the Graphic, / again chal-
enge Miss Walker, the cowArdly skulk-
'rs In the Graphic Office, or any republi-
IAN in the state Of Kansas, or the United

Upper Peninsula Letter.
MARQUETTE, MICH, June Sd

MARQUETTE, MICH, June Sd. 1890.
FRIEND DEWEY promis ed some of
you a word, and | can say that my friend
Hon. j. M. BallOu and myself arrived here
at two p. M. today. We spent three hours
with DR.. WadswOrth and Is of his pupils
from the HOughtOn Mining School, who
are now here studying geology in the field.
The work was the studying the bikes, and
forms of igneOus and sedimentary rocks.
The rocks are piled up i'm semi-mOuntainOus
masses here and the general character is
Wild and rugged. Tomorrow we go to
Presque Isle and Partridge Islands to see
the class study rock formation and carry OH
surveying by triangulatiOn. We are dressed
with regular wooden winter apparel, and
yet found it very comfortable with a heavy
winter OvercOat while out upon the rocks.
Lake Superior is cold body of water and
the air is very bracing. Thursday morning
we go to Houghton, 100 miles north of here,
to visit the Mining School proper, and to
visit the great Calumet and Hecla mine.
The country north Of Bay City is very mo-
notonous, and seemingly with very few ex-
ceptions comparatively worthless until you
get to Marquette. Miles upon miles of
country i'm the northern peninsula is one
unbrOken swamp. We crossed the Straits
of Mackinaw this morning and got fine
view of Fort Mackinaw and Plank's Hotel
upon Mackinaw Island. As this letter is
growing long will reserve more news for
another time. Resp'y., j. w. SIMMONS.
