THOMAS RROCKETT REED.

Kansas is supposed to be for the
brave little Ohio major, whose name
is so indiSSolubly linked with protec-
ton of American industries. He is
the ideal politician and statesman in
many particulars So the machinery
of Kansas was set for Major McKin-
ley. The men who fixed the wires
have not been in good repute with the
Prohibition element Of the state and
so they have set about to make them
selves solid. But there is no question
that things are brighter for Thomas
e. Reed of Maine, since Quay captured
Republican Pennsylvania and Plait OBJ
tanned full control of Republican New
York. These two bosses are not in
favor of either Harrison or Mckinley.
and there is now no earthly chance
that these TWO states casting the iarg-
est votes in national conventions VIII
give one of them 10 either the Ohio
or the Indian statesman. While these
gentlemen have been posing before the
country ever since congress adjourned

the papers. But he is acquiring the
machinery. nevertheless. and with
Flatt ana ouay in favor Of him when
the next National Republican conyen-
ton shall meet, he will he just about

Will. in al probability, name the next
Republican candidate for the nresi-
dency. The New England states will

THEY WONT DO 1T.

The State Temperance Union,
through its president, has determined
upon another raid against Atchison
for open violation of the Prohibitory
law. So says the Globe. which eX-
presses the hope that Governor Nor
rill will be fair and cOnsiderate. Nor
rill said in his inaugural address that
it was a difficult matter to enforce the
ProhibitOry law where not sustained
by public sentiment A much greater
man than Morrill, said that s'public
sentiment is the supreme of every
land" Anywhere and everywhere
this is true. However Atchison need
not worry. Wichita was singled out
as the victim, and Dawes has said it,
not only over his own signature, but
to his intimate friends, that he would
bend all his energies to bring Wichita
to his terms at whatever cost. Nor
rill has agreed to such program
There is a plot and scheme behind
it all, and it is politics, Only in their
failure to run the next state cOnven-
ton and to name their delegation to
the next national convention, through
the aid Of the Prohibition element of
the state will they let up. Their fight
on Wichita is TO get the support of
the Temperance Union and the Prohi-
bitionists. They claim that they can
hold and manage the other fellows
To make a fight on the other towns Of
the state would be to lose more than
they would gain through their fight on
Wichita. SO they will not do it.
