Saturday said: 81 do not think there
we're TO exceed 1000 Democrats IN
Kansas who voted the Republican
ticket. In Atchison there were not
more than half dozen. 1t may be
safely said that the Peoples Party
ticket polled practically the combined
vote Of the two opposition parties.
never had any doubt that II would be
otherwise"
This Is an important admission. II
true 1t il n confession that materially
strengthens the Republican party's
claim regarding its increased strength
over 1890. II only 1000 Democrats
helped the Republicans in the tight the
opposition lost so 900 votes since 1890.
The conclusion is irresistible. II the
statement Is true the Republicans have
learned lesson that they should never
forget. Whether exact in its figures or
not 1t IL SO approximately correct that
there can be no question IA to the
general trend Of the Democratic vote.
1t may as well be admitted that the
Democrats did not vote with the
Republicans TO one quarter the extent
they were expected to. Mr.. ingalls,
was eminently right when he said that
the Democrats vote the Republican
Ticket In Octpbpr INT not In November
When the day comes to cast the ballot
the old auimnsity between the parties
causes all but the most liberal minded
Of the Democrats to hesitate before
supporting a Republican for Office.
The Republicans of Kansas ran O
tally campaign as regarded the Demo
Gratis. IL il doubtful if Il single Demo
crat was deceived thereby. Everyone
knew why 1t was done, what IL wgS
done for and ac.ed according. But the
"mandarinsn 50 decreed aud it went.
The campaign y result has certainly
resulted IN the Republicans, overthrow
temporarily. The result has shown
that the Democrats claim the victory
AS their own, IL is freely predicted
that two years hence the fight in Kan
sas will be straight Democracy anC
straight Republicanism with no People,
Party worth mentioning. The indica
tions are that such will be the case.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 22.-The sixteenth
annual session of the Knights of Labor
will soon be placed on the record of the
has beens" Yesterdays work en-
braced practically all that remained to
be accomplished, and unless something
unforeseen comes up to be attended to
to-day the body will finish its delibera-
tons and adjourn sine die. Practically
all that now remains TO be done is to
select the place Of holding the next
years session and consider the question
of the disposal OF the general head
quarters ut Philadelphia.
At the morning session settlement of
the Homestead strike was the chief
subject of conversation among the dele
gates, and there was feeling of regret
ut the defeat OF the Amllgamated asso-
citation. A very general idea prevailed
that the men will have to adopt some
secret form of organization.
The following resolution was unani-
mously adopted:
Resolved That 1t is the sense OF the general
assembly Of tho Knights OF Labor that the
outcome OF the recent tremendous struggle az
L
reaching results In set ing, temporarily at
| least, great economic questions
Resolved, That IA tho declaring of OF tho

verge OF starvation; therefore, be II
Ordered. That the general executive board OF
! Knights Of Labor DO instructed to issue an ap-
peal for aid for these unfortunate people ami
distribute the same TO the best advantage OF
those who need help
At 4 o'clock a motion to proceed to
elect officers for the ensuing year pre-
vailed Mr.. Powderly was at once
placed in nomination for tho Office OF
general master workman. He at once
rose TO his feet and addressed those
present. saying he did not desire n re-
election and begged them to select some
one else. In order to leave tho dele
gates free to speak their minds he left
the hall while the vote was being taken.
A number of delegates spoke, the al
most unanimous sentiment being that
the order at large demanded and the
cause of labor acquired his reelection.
A secret ballot WAS taken and Mr..
Powderly chosen by a vote of 102 TO 6
scattering. Other officers were selected
as follows:
General worthy foreman, Hugh Cava-
naugh general secretary-treasurer
John w. Hayes; general executive
board-T. " Powderly, ex-ofiicio chair
man; A. w. Wright, John Devlin, John
Davis and T. b, Mcclure,
All of the forepoing except Mr.. Nc
CURE are reelected. The latter was n
member OF the board up TO 1888, when
he was defeated at Indianapolis. Since
1855 he has been acting as general or
ganizer for tho executive board and
will continue TO act in that capacity

court commissioners hold only tempo

created by the Legislature Of 1850 for
the purpose of helping the overburden-
ed supreme court. The act expressly
declared that "the said commissioners
shall hold Office for term of three l3)
years from and after March /, 1890. I"
Hence unless the Legislature sees H. by

there will DO no supreme court commits.

How Cardinal Gibbons Was In Contempt

How Cardinal Gibbons Was In Contempt
without the Court Seeing n.
When Cardinal Gibbons was bishop Of
Richmond, Va, he happened TO be the
defendant In relation to some church
property When called to the witness
stand the plaintiffs lawyer distin.
guished legal luminary, after vain en-.
deavors to involve the witness In con.
tradictions, struck upon a plan which
he thought would annoy the bishop.
lie thereupon questioned the right Of
DIR. Gibbons to the title OF bishop Of
Richmond, and called on him To prove
his claim To the office. The defendants
counsel, of course, objected TO this as
irrelevant; but the bishop, with quiet
smile, said he would comply with the
request II allowed half an hour to pro-
duce the necessary papers. This being
allowed, the bishop left the courtroom
and returned in twenty minutes with a
document which he proceeded TO read
with great solemnity, all the more sol.
emn as the paper was In Latin. The
plaintiffs lawyer pretended TO take
notes, industriously bowling his head
once in awhile as II in acquiescence, and
seeming perfectly convinced at the end.
When tho reading was finished he an.
nounced that the papal bulls just read
were perfectly satisfactory, at the same
time apologizing for his expressed
doubts The next day, says the Hall.
fax IN. 81 Mail, IL leaked ont that the
bishop, unable to find the papal bull at
his residence, had brought TO the court
and read a Latin essay on pope Leo

student and forwarded by the president
OF the college as n specimen Of the
young mans skill in Latin composition.
