According to the aggregate unofficial
returns there were II, 100000 votes cast
for president at the recent election for
the three leading candidates, Cleveland,
Harrison and Weaver. The latter polled
$50, 900 votes and carried % electoral
college votes. The Harrison and Cleve-
land votes stand: Cleveland. $500, 900;
Harrison, $4,000 a difference in
.Cieveland's favor of 600,0 When Mr.
Cleveland was elected president eight
years ago he had only G., 673 more than
Mr.. Blaine, and in 1883 the popular vote
for the candidate stood: Harrison.
$40, PIG; Cleveland, 5,53S, 233. a differ
ence in favor of Cleveland of 9S,017, or
So, 34i larger than in 1884, when lie was
elected. These figures would seem to
indicate that the Democratic party is the
majority party of the country even in
defeat. but the solid south explains the
situation.

WHAT DOES II MEAN?

The official ret urns to the secretary of
state on the proposition for a constitu-
tional convention show that the vote is
very close, with n proba biiIty that ma
Jority of the votes cast on that question
were in favor of it. The total vote of
1872 counties-Brown, Linn, Rocks and
Graham not having been receiyed-is
found to he as follows:
For the convention lis. 600
Against the convention........ ia, 000
The four counties yet to hear from are
probably evenly divided, and it now
seems that the amendment will carry by
majority less than 1000. All the
large cities gave a good majority in
favor of it; the more sparseiy settled
counties were against it. 1t is question
able whether the convention will be
called, because of an Obscurity in section
2 of article IA of the constitution, which
provides for such convention, leaving it
in doubt as to whether majority of all
the votes cast or only a majority of the
votes cast upon that question are neces-
sary, and which reads as follows:
whenever two-thirds of the men,
bers elected to each branch of the legis-
lature shall think it necessary to call a
convention to revise, amend or change
this constitution, they shall recommend
to the electors TO vote at the next cleo
ton Of members to the legislature, for
or against convention; if a majority of
all the electors voting at such election
shall vote for convention, the legis-
lature shall at the next session provide
FOR calling the same"

Woman suffrage advocates cite, as an

Woman suffrage advocates cite, as an
argument in favor of that innovation, the
fact that the women of New Jersey voted
for president from Washington to
Adams. when the privilege was taken
from them. They also use this last cir
cumstance as an additional reason for
the experiment now. They say that if
the experiment should prove to be I'M
wise and improbable the privilege could
he taken away from the female voters.
But tbat is altogether uncertain. 1t
might work like case of purging the
membership of a church, that occurred
over in Illinois several years ago. A
number of the truly good and devoui
members undertook to turn out several
others who lad made themselves very
offensive by their waywardness, but
when the time came to take the vote on
expulsion those that were arraigned had
a majority on their side, and unceremo-
niously gave the Others the bounce.

Harry J. Bone of Ashland, one of the
leading politicians of western Kansas, in
speaking of tie situation, says: III is
time the people should stop talking of
western Kansas as a region stricken
with calamity. We are not. We
neither practice it nor preach it. Bv
reference 10 the returns it will be seer
that the western part of the state gave
a good Republican majority. We are
not calamity stricken out that way, and
have no use for it. Our farmers are not
beggars nor tramps, but despite the diff
culties under which they have labored.
they are a. prosperous as in any other
portion of the state. No. sir; you MAY
put it down that western Kansas Is not
on the verge of material. moral aor po-
Itical ruin, and the man who says she is
hasn't the regard for the truth which
should characterize the average re-
former"

The Democratic leaders are in hole,
and a very deep one. They carried the
elections but they are puzzled as how to
dodge carrying out their platform.
Cleveland, who is a gold bug from away
back and the IDOL of Wall street, preached
free raw material and protected products
to the manufacturers, while his plat
form squinted at free silver, promised
squareiy against protection. Already
some OF the southern states are getting
ready 10 issue their own money and
there is lots Of serious fun ahead.

Jay Gould'5 signature.

from the 1oOeka JouTfAi
No one in Topeka who ever saw Jay
Gou!d's signature. ever guessed whose
name it stood for; it looks more like the
ticket that the Chinese laundryman
hands you for your clothes than any
thing else. One letter, the capital u, v
can be read. The rest looks no more like
what it is intended 10 represent than
nothing at all.
Clerk Sharrits of the circuit court,
couldn't read it himself, aud had to have
it Autographed for use in printing the
court Papers where GouId's name was
used, until he found an acknowledge
ment before a notary IN which Jay
Gould had signed his own name and the
notary had written il in legihle hand
Some of the court officers once had q
Autographed copy Of Gould's signature
printed On postal cards and sent them
over the country offering box of cigars
20 auv man who could read il. Il was
two months before the reward was
claimed. and the man who claimed il
was ! clerk IN an eastern railway Office.

The EAGLE desires to again call the at
tenlion of Reublipcan leaders 10 the fact
that many Republican nominees in the
state would have been saved had the
Prohibi.ionists voted the Republican
ticket. Il IS no use for that crowd to
say that they were under no political
or moral obligation To do SO, they know

A recrudescence of the cholera has
occurred in several of the localities in
Europe, where it RACED so fearfully dur
ins the early fell. This fresh outbreak
of the dread disease causes no little APP
prehension that il may continue spas
medically through the winter and break
out with renewed force and virulence
next spring. The circumstances and
probabilities in this direction are suffi-
cient to justify tins government in re-
doubling its surveillance of all immigra-
ton to this country and in maintaining
it indefinitely.

Winans of junction City presented a
petition, which is being circulated
among all the woman's clubs in the

smoking compartments in the sleeping

one car in the train in which to smoke,
and that is enough. This is righteous
move.

Notwithstanding the chronic obiec-

true that more money is spent to con-

only a very little more than that has
been given To modern missions since
their beginning.
