CHARLES NOT IN IT.

Charles Hatton is the last man to desert
the sinking ship of the Citizens party.
Last night he sent the following card to
the EAGLE which explains itself:
To the Editor of the Eagle.
81 Will not be candidate for the office
of member of the school board at the April
election.
Il desire to say in addition that since
became voter have invariably voted an
unscratched Republican ticket. and in the
language Of your reporter, am not 'look-
ing for strange gods.
CHARLES HATToN"
The fact of the matter is Charlie Hatton
was never in the race as Demo-POpulist
candidate. Many OF his friends wanted
him to run independently, but even this
he would not do as he believes that the
ticket nominated by the majority of the
party in convention assembled should be
given every Republican vote. and as he is
and has been since his majority voting the
Republican ticket straight, he could not
desert it now. It was unnecessary for
him to state that ne was not the candidate
of a belligerent combination, for his many
friends knew, without a word from him,
that he was not a bolter.

HARNESS THIEVES.

There are some very clever thieves in
Wichita and il the second hand men who
purchase their booty wers as slick as
their customers they would be better of
financially. Yesterday Mr. A. ". Div er
sent his stable boy up town on some err
rand that necessitated speed and the boy
mounted a pony and of he went On re-
turning Mr.. Oliver asked him to hitch to
the phaeton to take Mrs. Oliver and the
children to the depot. On arriving
at the stable he found that the
harness had been stolen Notwithstanding
he had been absent only fifteen or twenty
minutes. He Immediately remembered
that while coming back from his errand
he saw secondhand man hanging out
some harness which looked like Mr..
divers. He hastily rode back, and there
sure enough he found the harness, which
the second hand man had just bought.
The theft had been committed, the har-
ness sold and the property recovered in
side of half an hour, and the only man
out by the operation was the secondhand
dealer. A description of the thieves was
furnished to the officers. but they had left
town, taking the southbound train.

THE CAMPAIGN OPENED.

The Republican city campaign has
formally opened and the forces are all
in splendid shape for to win one of the
greatest victories, comparatively speak
ing, that has ever crowned the efforts of
Republicans in Kansas. While there is
practically no opposition, nevertheless the
campaign will be fought as aggrissively
us if the enemy was worthy of Repub-
iican steel. The business men arg inter
ested, and political commentators may
say what they please, but when business
men enter the political arena they Will
carry a force with them that cannot be
successfully resisted. 1t is to tie interest
OF the business men to see responsibility
attached to the city government, and they
know it and will act accordingly.
John w. Adams, Esq, the chairman
Of the city committee, has made his
plans and made them in such way
as to attract the support of the respectable
element and Wichita is one city where 1t
cannot be successfully consended that the
respectable element Is not largely In the
majority mo mud singing" is his
motto and he proposes to adhere to it
although it is probable that the other side,
# they ever get organized for battle. will
use no other weapons. Mr.. Adams makes
a first-class committeeman, his methods
are honest, square and candid and as he
has the ability and the activity required,
it will be found after the election is over
that he will have conducted one of the
hest, cleanest and most successful cam
paigns ever waged in this section of the
country. The other members of the COM
mittee are also first-class men who will
give the chairman valuable assistance.

expression. "Durand's Valse" was per-
formed by Miss Merle Churchill in "A de-

STALWARTS MEET,

Representatives of the Stalwart Democ-
racy of the county held an informal meet
ing in Joseph Coates Office in the Sedg-
wick block yesterday to talk over the
situation and to suggest plans for a thor
ough reorganization of the party in this
county at last. Several of them were
present and the meeting was harmonious.
and as they expressed it profitable. Some
very encouraging letters were read
both from state and national
politicians which indicated that
when the Kansas Offices are to be divided
the stalwarts will not be forgotten. 1t is
said that Cleveland. personally, is partial
to the Kansas straight-out's and that he
has expressed himself. This understand
ing naturally buoys the spirits of the
straight-Outs up. At any rate they are
confident that their fealty to what they
call principle will not be over looked by
President Cleveland who is considerable
of a stalwart himself.

ANOTHER THOMAS,

A few days ago the EAGLE made note
OF the marriage OF Thomas j. Irwin to
Miss Fowler, and that mote" has caused
no end of trouble and nearly a dozen
breach of promise suits. Scarcely was the
paper out of the press when the Office of
Thomas }. Irwin. secretary of chs board of
education, was besieged with ''big broth
ers" by the dozen who thrust the paper
under his nose and wanted an explanation,
many of them threatening him with all
kinds of punishment in the breach of
promise courts. Tom was too astonished
for utterance, but when he got an oppor-
tunity he hunted up the EAGLE reporter,
who explained to him that this world was
large enough for two Thomas j. ,Jrwins
and that the other one had perfect right
to get married If he wanted to. This sat
isiied him in u measure; but he is still
sore, for it served as an expose of the
fact that he had too many outstanding
matrimonial promises on the market
