Judge Hines Acquitted.

Our news columns have chronicled
the rompt acquittal of Judge James
K Hines, by Washington county
jury, before whom he answered ths
charge preferred against him. Judge
Hines was ind oted for larceny after
trust, and he claimed that it was per-
sonal persecution, aud from the m }.
ment the indictment was drawn he
demanded trial.
The writer of this has been per.
sonally acquainted with Judge Hines
for thirty-dve years, and The Con.
stltution believes that he is incapa-
BILE of a breach of trust.
VS. are likewise satisfied that poll.
Tics id not fl cure in the slightest de-
gree in the prosf cution of the case
and Judge Hines vindicates the
Dem Gratis of Washington county Of
this charge, which has been indu,tri-
ously cirau ated by those who have
sought to give political turn to the
affair. Judge Hines calls attention
to the fact that his acquit:al is re.
ceived from the nands of a inry
composed of those who differed with
i'm politically.
The "a that the news develop.
ment of the sse appeared in many
of the newspapers of the state does
not show that 4uch publications were
intended to prejudice the public
against JUL Hines. The same
pub lcity would have been given had
any other pubic man, Populist or
Democra, been pl sc-d in the same
situation, however unjust might have
been the charge so preferred. The

That Secret Circular.

We print again that secret circular
1t is reported that five cents apiece
is offered for them in NJ ICON. OF
course an effort is being made to
suppress them.
The Democratic press is trying to
make it appear that the circular was
written in defense of the Governor
AS to the Adolphus Duncan clause,
no one had attacked the Governor on
his action 10 that case. 1t may or
may not have been in accordance
with the evidence. 7 crime in the
whole matter is not 80 much that he
pardoned the man, but that he should
use this act of his as bait for the
negro vote.
AS it occurs in the circular there is
no reference to any thing connected
with the case, just the loose state
ment:
ale pardoned Adolphus Duncan,
negro who had been twice con
victed of rape on white woman,
and had been sentenced to hang"
AS the Democratic papers who
were brave enough commented on
these circulars as coming from Dem
ocratic sources, and as no high Official
in Democratic ranks denied that the
party is responsible for their exist
ence, the public will not be deceived.
AS m latter of fact Chairman Gun
ningham haa been patiently waitip1
for such denial, as he has over
whelming proof as to who is respon-
sible for this insult to the people OF
the State.

elsewhere in this paper, has caused
sensation in this state, and viii, no
doubt, be read with interest all over
the Union.
1t was bold and fearless and will
have tremendous influence for

AS he predicted, it has raised a
storm among that class of newspa-

but it has caused thousands Of honest
men to array themselves on the side

methods in politics.
The campaign opened with a
moral question to be decided.
Sam jones' letter makes it plain
to all who will read, that question
of common decency is now involved
and every voter must array himself
on one side or the other.
There are no comments that we
can make that will add to the
strength of Mr.. Jones' letter, or
make palmer its meaning, but there
is one phase of the situation that Mr.
Jones has touched on that we think
not only demonstrates his keen per

itself on every member Of the re

G. G Citmens' in the Evening
Journal of the 18th inst, empties
seven walls of wrath UPON the head
Of Hon. Thomas E w atson. His
interview as given to the Journal
WAS of a Bowery breezy kind and
1oes no credit to man OF Mr.. Gle

ter the style OF language heard in a
dancing hall or fourth rate saloon
and ccm pg from any other person
would merit only silent contempt.

Mr.. Clemens claims he was in St.

his report when he returned was
true, the Southern delegates would
not endorse Bryan IN ess W Atson
was nominated for vice president.
After hard fight Watson was nomi
mated and our delegates returned

MIR. WATSON did not force his
nomina ion on that convention, bu
the entire south stood for htm.
Now that he has been placed on
the ticket, backed by the ou'hern
AMI western states, even by Illinois,
because he comes to Kansas and
asks only that we dc what we pledg al;
comes as the candidate for vice pres.

A NEW POLITICAL PARTY

The disgruntled populists fPull-
man, and others who favor cheap
money have on foot the organiza-
tion of new political party whose
main issue will be the free and un-
limited coinage of iron at ratio Of
16 to I. The proposition which is a
very feasible one is argued along
the same lines that the free silver
question is with the exception
that it has the advantage over sill
yer of being very much cheaper
money, and this of itself the iron
ties claim is sufficient reason for
forming a new party.
The free iron arwument, which
seems to be a clear and logical
solution of the monetary problem,
is given in another column.
