TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 12-Ths Republi-
can state central COMMITTEES has issued the
following address to the members of the
party:
ITO the Republicans Of Kansas:
''The battle is over, and in cur defeat we
have won great victory. The combined
opposition. with its leaders hungry for
spoils and a majority Of sixty thousand
behind it, couEi barely win the state
ticket and the legislature. The Republi-
can party never before contended against
such odds in any state in the Union with
any hope Of success, and to the Republic
cans of Kansas full credit is due for their
earnest. united and magnificent efforts.
There have been no divisions. but, on the
contrary, every loyal Republican has
stood shoulder 70 shoulder with his party
fellows for the good cams of Kansas, and
our defeat can III no way be charged TO
their negligence. An enormous majority
has been reduced to almost nothing, aud
victory has been so nearly achieved that
for several days there has been doubt as
to the result
"When we consider the states which
have been removed from the Republican
column in the struggle just concluded, the
remarkable gain we have made is the
more pronounced. The battle has been
fought by Kansas Republicans alone, with
practically no assisLancs from outside
sources. aud TO Kansas Republicans alone
Is due the credit. We caunot close our
work without extending our thanks to
Republicans all over the state for their
efficient work and very intelligent advice
and Judgment. Had we won the victory
u would have been yours. 1t seems, how
ever, that we are defeated; but to the rank
and file of the Republican party all over
the broad plains of Kansas belongs the
credit 0f a alD,Osf DihiIof,,,n
which in other states would have been
deemed impossible to overcome. For the
next campaign We have 100, 600 intelligent,
earnest, loyal and energetic Republicans
in line. and anxious only for the battle TO
begin. Respectfully yours,

March, 1898. twenty-five seats in the

beginning of the Fifty-third congress will
have as many senators as the Republicans

A CONSUMPTlVE COW.

TORONTO, Nov. IA case of tubercu-
losis has been discovered in a COW in one of
the city dairies. DR.. Cooper, "a veterinary
surgeon; DR.. Mackenzie of the provincial
board Of health, and DR.. Allen, a medical
health officer, have been working on the
case for some days. When the affected
cow WAS discovered there was some doubt
as to the nature Of the disease, and it was
not until the animal had been inoculated
with koch's tuberculine that positive
conclusion was reached. This is the first
occasion on which tuberculine has been
used here. The veterinary surgeons are of
the opinion that new light mas been ac-
quired, whereby tuberculosis can now be
diagnosed beyond the shadow OF doubt.

In reply Mr.. Depew said: s'Brother

Brother Depew. you are good orator and
are good enough to make speeches for the
party, but you must not do any managing
Brother Platt thinks l an an amateur
when it comes to politics. On the other
hand he believes and so do l, that he him
self is an expert and experienced poll
tician. II was therefore agreed that
Brother Platt should manage the cam
paign. He was allowed the task of run
ming the machine, and l was put of at
speech-makin2. Now Brother Platt is a
shrewd and competent engineer. and ran
the machine as well as it could be run.
He did all the work in the city and state.
and did it better, perhaps, than. any one
could have done it. But then, as he was
managing and conducting the machine, l
don't think he can lay the blame for the
collision on me.
."We just ran into lands sliie-that was
it plain and simple. Brother Platt was at
the throttle, and wide awake, too, but he
could not avoid the accident. The engine
simply plunged into the obstruction aud
we ought to know the result. Early in the
fight Brother Platt insisted upon my con-
fining myself to orations instead of engag-
ing actively in the machinery department..
He preferred to do this himself, AZ he had
had more experience, SO went forth as a
speaker. Between us we evolved the end.
The result could not be attributed to any
one person or party of persons New York
alone did not effect the result. 1t was the
whole country. The people wanted a
change of policy more than of individuals,
and they will have it. They want to try

opportunity to try it, hope.
