Brother Watterson was very much
easier to placate than was generally sup
posed. He announced publicly and on
many occasions that he would oppose
the nomination of Cleveland to the last,
but having secured something Of a per-
sonal vindication and triumph in the
selection of his man Owen for temporary
chairman of the convention, Henry's
vision was at once cleared sufficiently TO
discover that the popular demand of the
party throughout the country was over
whelmingly for the ex-president, and he
withdrew his antagonism and supple
mented it with pledge of hearty sup
port for the nominee with true, genuine
Kentucky suavity. Anybody as don't

THE MANNER OF MEN.
From the Newton Kansan.

From the Newton Kansan.
The Kansan, after a careful review OF
the political field, is convinced that the
man who, beyond peradventure, can
carry the requisite number of votes TO
elect him governor, is the Hon. Marsh
Murdoch. We take no narrow view OF
this question; his election would be no
endorsement of any particular question
of morals or politics, but would be the
result of a firm conviction that the bust
ness interests of the state, and the rigid
enforcement of all laws, demand the
election of man whose past history
proves him a thorough Kansan and
lover of good government. The voters
of Harvey county, as shown by the re-
turns of the last general election, are in
favor of the nomination and election of
a man who will prove himself to be
above the petty political prejudices so
common to the ordinary candidate, for
which reason the Harvey delegates
should vote solidly for Murdock's nomi-
nation

The resolution of sympathy for Hon.
James G. Blaine and his family adopted
by the Chicago convention was very
generous expression and is fully appre-
ciated by the distinguished American
citizen and his close political friends and
admirers. The act was not meant or
expected to have any political influence.
The most implicable and vindictive
enemy could not be so devoid of decency
as to sieze such an occasion to offer an
open insult as an act of that kind would
be if taken with any but an honest pur-
nose.

The choice of Hon. J. r. Burton Of
Abilene by the Republican convention
of the Fifth district as the party's nomi-
nee for congress was the wisest perhaps
that could have been made. Mr. Burton
is one of the best equipped men in the
state for handling from the forum the
great economic questions that divide
the parties. There is not a man in either
of the other parties in the district that
approaches him in point of ability on
any part of the ground. He is 4 clean
man as to character and record, and will
receive the enthusiastic support of all in
the Fifth district who place competency
and character above sentimentality.

was nominated for reelection by his

Their aged mother. almost heart

she was, was fearful lest her other sons
should stain their hands with blood.
Vengeance is mine saith the Lord; l
will repay" and Mrs. Poston was an

abstain from personal vengeance. And

From the Engineering Magazine,
The higher value of American labor as
compared with that abroad andits con-
sequent higher price is well shown by an
incident in the sheet-metal stamping
trade. A manufacturer in advertising
his drawing presses abroad based his
statements in regard to capacity upon
the speed, 120 strokes Ter minute, habit
ually used in America. The foreign pur-
chasers complained that they could not
make half so many articles in a minute
as he had promised. Visiting the shops
in person he found no difficulty in feeding
the blanks to the presses at the guaran-
teed rate of speed. But he found that
the cheaper workmen employed could
not keep up such a rate. After that the
guarantees advertised abroad were only
half as large as the capacity of the ma.
chimes in actual work at home.
