When the police force Of this city
undertook to break up the Topeka club
the most RristoCratic joint in this city,
did you approve Of their attemptS Did
you, as q true prOhibitionist and as min.
lister Of the gospel might be expected to
do, come to the support of the police
force and JOIN your influence with that OF
these officers to suppress that high-toRed
joint, or did you join with others, some
of them ministers too, in oondsmning
that undertakingi When your good
Judge johnson and Judge Hszen, with
Judge Humphrey called in TO divide the
responsibility, released the members Of
that club who had bean arrested, and Of
whose guilt no one familiar with the
facts can doubt-released them upon q
mere technicality Of their own invention,
did you, or did you not, approve Of this
act? When these same judges in
their judicial decision in that case went
80 far as to map out plan by which
clubs Of this character might supply
their members and their friends with
liquors and escape the penalties Of vio-
lated law, did you, or did you not, sp-
prove Of that decision? The Christian
people and the prOhibitionists OF Kansas
would like to know your position in this
matter.
Some time in January last three men
were arrested charged with violation Of
the prohlbitory law at HisWaths, Brown
county, who pleaded guilty to the charge
aud received the sentence which the law
imposes. I fud that you we're one Of
the men who sought pardon for these
offenders Of this governor whom you
now dsnounce for his failure to enforce
the prohibitory law. I find the follow
ing letter to him respecting these cases:
"ToPEKA, KAs., February 5, 1894.
"Hts ErCsllenCy, the Hon. L. d. LelOelIinO, GOU-
erGOT Of Kansas:
"MY DEAR SIR:-I understand that an
application for pardon, is being made to
you in the cases Of L. r. Yates, Messrs.
PotteDgsr and Pyle Of Hiawaths, KsS.
DR.. Yates 10 a prominent and useful
member OF the Methodist church OF that
place, was neighbor during the time l
was pastor of that church, and is in
every way an estimsble and correct
gentleman. Messrs. Pottenger and
Pyle lived near me at the same time and
are stsunch and solid citizens. While
these gentlemen have been guilty Of the
violation of law whose regular and con-
sistent enforcement / am very anxious
about, I feel it a duty to say that this
is in my opinion q fair case for the exer-
else Of executive clemency, and that I
am anxious to see it done.
"From all that know OF the parties
personally, and can hssr OF this special
matter through Trustworthy persons, it
is clear to me that the guilt OF these
gentlemen is Of the letter aud not Of
the spirit Of the law.
Further than this I Rm informed
that this conviction, unless pardon be
granted, carries with it loss Of member

by the name Of Jessie Pennel. who was
standing on the platform waiting TO take
the train for New York city. The man
was cut about the head in several places
