AT TAMMANY HALL.
The noise and activity that have char
acterzed Tammany Hall for the last
month were missed this morning. U nus
ual quiet took possession of the wigwam.
The reason for this was that the scat of
war had been changed. that is all
A little machine that ticked in the cor
ner of Mr.. Croker's office. and connected
the wigwam with every Assembly dis
trict in the city, told that the battle was
still on, and was going at lively rate.
Tammany leaders of the districts were
missed at Tammany Hall, but the mes
sages that came over the wire to Mr.
Croker showed that they were all hard at
work.
An usually keen observer would have
canvass made an end and the battle of
the ballots began. Mr.. Croker was of
opinion that the voting was but con-
tinuation of the great fight that Tam
many Hall has made for the Democratic
National ticker.
WORKED ALL NIGHT.
In support uf this view he cited the fact
that Tammany Hall was open all of last
night. None OF the wigwam captains
were 20 be found mapping when the polls
opened this morning.
Mr.. Richard Croker did not stay up all
night. but he was out as early as the best

THE strongest argument in favor of
Senator Palmer's constitutional amend
ment making senators elective by the
people Of the states is that if it had
been adopted some years since the
democrats would now control both
branches of congress. The Illinois
senator did not express the opinion,
but he doubtless entertains it as a
mental reservation.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

FuSlOn means trade for pOut1cal
gain; a prostitution of principles for
the sake of Office. Our democratic con-
temporary is clamoring for fusion with
the peoples party, or in other words he
is for sale to the highest bidder. Does
any party want to buy him?-Beacon.
In STATE and congressional matters
fusion would mean partial success for
the peoples party and partial success
for democrats. A three cornered fight
means continued republican rule in
Kansas, and therefore continuation
of the evils which have so long beset
us. Cut these two items out and PASTE
them in your scrap book, and see, after
the November elections. which is right.
In limiting that the DEMOCRAT is ''for
sale to the highest bidder' Armstrong
simply judges others by the standard Of
his own corrupt thought; and had lie
just little bit of political sense, or but
the smallest grain of a sense of right
and justice, truthfulness, or profession
al,courtesy he would not charge us with
the foul intent above indicated. The
timeewill come when the people of this
country will be able to understand the
sole purpose of the existence of the man
who, by false promises and footing of
tin horns foisted himself upon the
farmers of Barton county. He is max
ing record for crankihess and bossism
that will one day cover him like a
black funeral pail; and as he pulls up
his plant and sneaks away, as he got
out of Wichita county when he came
here, he may reflect that to himself
alone can he lay the blame of his igno-
minious failures.
BY THIS time next week the laboring
men and mechanics will know who the
aristocricy and the money power has
selected as their candidate for presi-
dent. There is much Blaine talk the
last few days, but in our judgement
there is not much possibility of Harri-
son being squelched aud the tattooed
statesman showed to the front. He has
faithfully stood by the pledges made by
the republican party to the favored
classes; has vast horde of office-hold-
ers whose continuance in favored places
depends on his reelection, and it is moi
reasonable to suppose that any man
who is not in position to fry more
fat" from all elements than he can
will be chosen as leader on June 7th, al
time when .'fat" is so much needed
to buy votes for that party.

TOYS FOR THE TODDLERs.
The Christmas Tree of the Pioneer
Kindergarten Society.

Blessed old Santa Claus was good yester-
day to three hundred little tots belonging TO
the four kindergartens Of the Pioneer Kin
dergayten Society.
DE met them 10y appointment at o'clock
in living Hall and about two gorgeous
and wonderful Christmas tree loads of
presents that made baby faces rad.
liant with joy were distributed. A
kindergarten always seems about the
lovelest picture of childish beauty and
innocence on earth. and the scene In Irving
Hall yesterday intensely pleased the hun
dreds II big folks who crowded the sides OF
the hall and the gallery.
The little ones Were brought In omni-
bnses and carryalls from the respective
.kindergartens. All were neatly dressed
and looked bright and clean. All wore
pretty paper caps and eager faces as they
climbed the stairs in noisy hordes. Many
were not moro than "a years old and none
were over or years of age.
Each crowd Of babies was marshaled
into the hall by its teachers. and after sing
ing some very pretty motion songs, retired
to the stage to huddle together, squatted on
the floor Some of the performances were
loudly applauded and every one laughed at
the sweet awkwardness Of some Of the art
less little ones.
In the midst OF the exercises Mrs. GEN
eral Tom Thumb and her husband, Count
MaEi1, dIAiFeu W say something nice TO the
little folks. They mounted the stage.
where the cute little Count introduced his
wife, who told the babies that she hoped
they would all enjoy as many merry Christ
masses as she had done.
When the eighth toy balloon had burst
with loud report the curtain went up. and

splendent in gltttering things. opened little
eyes wide with establishment. Every little
girl got nicely dressed dolly. every boy
received tin horn, which be promptly be-
