We Must Be Cautious.

there is great need Of wisdom and care
lest great blundsrs are committed.
There is or should be very general
feeling Of kindness on the part Of our
people toward the democracy Of Kansas,
There can be no doubt that their coop
GRAFTON with us in the late campaign did
much in this state towards the removal
from power Of one Of the chief instru-
ments used by the money power for the
oppression and enslavement of the people
1t is always good policy in war to Concen-
trate forces and attack the enemy at one
rather than at many points, when it il
evident that the attacking party is una
BILE to make q successful assault ell along
the enemy's lines. We have now time
to reflect in the temporary lull Of the
great economic struggle, and it is, in my
opinion, Of the utmost Importance that
we do so.
In bringing TO our aid SO many demo-
cratic voters in this state we did not sur
render a single vital principle Of our
platform; we did not fuse; we only
opened our ranks to receive and use q
battalion Of reinforements, which, from
the peculiar status Of the battle-ground,
and the forces on either side, thought 1t
best for their own future prospects to
cooperate with us at present, rather
than stand idly by or aid the entrenched
and common enemy. One of the imme-
diate results is
First-The Peoples party is now in
possession Of the state, have named the
presidential electors, and are reasonably
well assured Of permanent state control,
at least so long as we stand manfully by
and maintain those grand economic
principles that won US the triumph.
Second-The democrats now are en-
titled to and have our aid and sympathy
in their claims upon the incoming ad-
ministration for the federal offices Of
this state. And here the deal, as it
seems to me, closes for the present.
If any democrats, now that they per-
haps more fully comprehend our princi-
pies, feel like remaining permanently
with us, we bid them hearty welcome.
But now q word as to our own status
and duty. We stand before the world a
giant, who, having finished our first ma
tional fight, comes forth from the conflict
with more glory, more abundant lsurels
than any and all former combatsnts sim
ilsrly conditioned. In briefly reviewing
the struggle up to the present, the intel
ligent eye sees in OR immediate front
the Infinite One whose smiles and bless
ings alone have given US such wonder
full success; smiles and blessings that
will be vouchsafed to US 30 long and
only 80 long as We continue to maintain
inviolRte these principles of equity and
humanity. Let these be as the apple Of
the eye to US; and let us never forget
we commit fatal blunder whenever we,
through any false policy, place in front
as standard bearer any man whose
past conduct does not give the most un.
equivocal assurance Of his steadfast
fidelity, even under the severest possible
tests.
Whatever blunder may be committed
by policy serving leaders whose anxiety
TO become popular may lead them to
compromise in the slightest degree with

Errinp Mrs. Oshorne.

The London Sunday Sun announces
that Mrs. Osborne who disappeared after
the exposure OF her guilt in stealing and
selling Mrs. Hargrave's jewels, has, since
her flight, been delivered Of child. 1t
was on account Of her delicate condition at
the timc of tho trial that so much sympi-
thy was felt for the erring woman, ana it
is possible that this had something to do
with the ease with which she slipped out
of sight without interference from tho
authorities, Her exact whereabouts are
still unknown to the public. The bank
notes which Mrs. Osborne received In pay
ment for the gems, and which she indorsed
with her maiden name, are coming to light
here and there. The police are able to
discern by means OF the Endorsements
thereon that the money was paid out by
Mrs. Osborne chiefly in liquidation Of

In consequence, there Is serious trouble

The opinion of the court in tho case was
