Pennsylvania and Kansas.

It Is not to Kansas that an Eastern caudi-
date for the Democratic nomination would
naturally look for support. The crude So
ciallstic ideas which are embodied In the
Farmers Alliance. and arc still preached
fanatically in the Sunaower State. might be
thought to have had their effect upon the
Kansas Democracy, aud filled 1t with sus-
plcion and mistrust OF the East, the land Of
mortgages and capitalistic sharks. Tho
Democrats of Kansas are. In fact just re-
covering from their fusion with the Alliance,
an experience In which they were sadly
duped. Theyhelped the Alliance elect men,
bers OF Congress and members OF tho Lcgis-
lature In consideration OF its promise to
labor for tho resubmission OF prohibition to
the people. The promise was broken. and
the Kansas Democrats have done with
fusion, and Will stick to their own party Or
gauization In future. The Democratic edi-
tors OF Kansas held their annual Convcn-
ton at Topeka this week, and marked the
Democratic opposition to the Alliance pro-
0ramme by resolutions against the Sub
Treasury scheme and othor hayseed whlm-
sizes. But the most interesting work Of this
Convention was this despatch:
sTorsxA, Kan. July 81 1891.
"Cor>rnor Robert z. Pdnfson. Hrrrisburo. Pa:
ih, Dsmoc ratio editors Of Kama, to day In eonvsu
ton assembled send you greeting aud conGrAtuats you

Fable Naturalization. Long live the exponent OF the
people and the victor OF AArr QUAY"
To the deep sorrow OF the dsvotees OF the
Claimant, Governor PATrIsON Is q candidate
for tho Democratic nomination for Presi-
dent The congratulations given him by tho
Democratic editors OF kansas seem to indi-
cate that no may find support In quarters
where neither no nor his friends would havo
looked for 1t. As unprecedented observers of
what Is going on In politics wo give
this PATT1soN testimonial without express
ing an opinion as to It's value or Importance.
As tribute from the West to the East it Ia
at least worth mentioning, and 1t appears to
be In the nature OF evidence that the West
is not irreconcilably opposed to an Eastern
candidate who has not taken upon himself
to be Its pedagogue.
There will be so many Democratic booms
that their progress will DO difficult to follow.

Joy Among tho Boys.

The turning OF JOEL BISMARCK ERHARDT's
picture to the wall by BENJAMIN HARRISON
has given Joy to the local Republican mag
mates who have been getting crumbs instead
OF loaves at the Custom House employment
bureau Of partisans ever since DANIEL
MAooNE cast the dust Of the establishment
from his shoes in 1889, and departed, grip
sack in hand, back to Oswegatchie.
The Hon. BERNARD BIGLIN. for whom the
handsome features Of the Collector never
possessed the impalpable charm OF allure
ment, declares himself tied to the choice Of
ERHARDrs successor, FAssETr. He says:
"The best possible choice that could have
been made! It will meet the hearty approval
Of every Republican. Since the announce
mont Of Mr.. ERHARDT's resignation I have
heard no other name than that Of FAssErT
seriously mentioned as his successor. That
shows that the Republicans preferred
him to any other man. 1t does my heart
good to hear this news. 1t is glorlous!" A. B.
HUMPHREY, the Secretary Of the National
Republican League OF Clubs and Trumps.
0jaculates: Count me for FAssErT for any
ONCE or position he may wish to FILL His
appointment to the Collectorship will infuse
new life among the young Republicans OF
the city and State. am delighted; yes.
moro than delighted"
But the good to the heart OF BIGL1N and
the delight to the spirit OF HUMPHREY are
only part OF the results growing out Of the
change In the Custom House. JOHN SMITH,
another League boomer and the Chairman
OF its Sub-Executive Committee. AYERS: "No
mistake has been made In naming Mr.. FAs-
sETT. We all know and love him." JOHN
KENYON says: "Quote me as saying any
thing that may help the people OF New York
to realize how much thcy already owe to
Senator FAssETr, and how much they GER
tainly will owe to him before his term ex-
pires." Between grins and chuckles the
voice OF the Hon. THOMAS COLLIER PLAT is
heard in expressions Of hilarity and joyous.
ness. mo man." declared a Republican
chronicle yesterday, was moro gratlfed
over the news OF Senator FAssETTs appoint
ment than THOMAS G. PLAT"
But there Is fly in the amber. From the
mouth Of Statesman VRooMAN, one Of the
old stand-bys. proceed these words: my
only disappointment ut the news Of Mr.
FAssErTs appointment is in the fact that he
cannot be our candidate for Governor"
1t is sad reflection. 1t shows that
still another name has been added to the list
Of Republican decllners which now includes
DEPfw, SCHROEDER. MILLER. BLISS. TRACY.
BECKER. and FAssETT. But little thing
like that need not mar the enjoyment ofthe
local Republican leaders. to whom hence
forth tho side door OF the Custom House
will be ever open, with the latchstring hang
ing on the outside.
So tho open, manly, resolute and hand.
some features OF Col. ERHARpT are turned
to the wall. and an Elmira man succeeds
him as Collector.
