According to this forecast the republicans
will elect their candidates in the first, sec
ond and fifth districts and member at-large,
giving them four representatives instead of
two. as at present, the gain being in the
second and fifth districts and one at large,
losing one in the fourth, Curtis old district,
from which Shawnee county has been ger
rymandered into the first, where Curtis is
now running
OF course these estimated gains in the
second and fifth districts and at large are
in the face of adverse majorities two years
ego. but relying on the present prosperity
of the country, and especially the state, as
compared with the hard times of two years
ago, this prediction is justified. Also count
ing on the feeling friendly to the national
administration at the end of a successful
foreign war. all of which, the republicans
argue, helps them and weakenS the popu-
list opposition. These influences may be
| sufficient to carry the republicans through
in the sixth and seventh districts also, but
1t is hardly expected now.
The same fusion exists on the state
ticket in Kansas as in 1896. when Leedy,
the populist fusion candidate. was elect
ed governor over Morrill,, the repub-
lican candidate by 1900 plurality. Ieedy
is leading the fusion ticket again, while
the republican candidate is W. E, STAN
ley, comparatively new man in state
politics, but a strong man and a law
yer of high standing. W. A. PETER is the
candidate of the prohibition party for gov
ernor the same PETER who succeeded In
gals in the Senate, and in turn was lately
succeeded by Harris. an eX-confederate SOL

naturally go to Stanley, who is a man of
high character and stands well with the
reasonable prohibition element. For some
years the state prohibition ticket has been
receiving from 5000 to 5000 votes. PETER
claims he will get 25,0O0. If he gets 10000
It might weaken Stanley dangerously. In
this way only is PETER possible factor in
the contest. And notwithstanding him, the
chances all favor the election of Stanley
and the entire republican state ticket by
from 5000 to 1900 majority.

DENY the ReuueSt.

The District Commissioners have denied
a request of Mr.. c. w. Ridley for perns-
sion to pave the approach to the N street
wharf southwest with trap rock, from the
north side of the main entrance to and in
cluding the south side of the small gate or
driveway. The Engineer Commissioner, the
Commissioners state. has personally exam
ined the locality in question, and while
they are fully aware of the effect the pro-
posed grade would have on the wharf
property, they do not deem it advisable to
make any such break in the cross section
or transverse grade of the street as would
be necessitated by a compliance with Mr.
Ridley's request. and must, therefore, de-
cline to permit the pavement to be laid at
any other than the established grade.

In the seventh congressional district the

ry Simpson. as it has been since 1892. This

is called the big seventh" Simpson sur

dissensions in the district until he has

dissensions over post offices, which Were
left to the disposition Of republican candi-
dates for Congress who were defeated in
1896 Two years ago in the seventh district
Simpson beat Long by nearly 300 majority.
Long is making gallant effort to overcome
this majority and seems confident of sue
cess. So do most of his party friends and
workers. But to the careful. impartial look
er-on the chances appear to favor the re-
election of Simpson, and many of Long s

the republicans over Blue, and is making

by 5000 or 10000 over Botkin.

Are you sure that it is fresh?" said
Mr. Leitch
"Quite sure, sir, replied the butcher
Its perfectly fresh. "
Thereupon Mr.. Leitch, who was an
admirable ventriloquist, brought from
the sleeps head the rather confounding
ejaculation "Oh. what a leel I'm

Presently we sighted near a hedge a
very pretty woman dressed in white and
accompanied by child. Wilkie stepped
up to her and proffered his umbrella.
She promptly accepted it, and said to
him as she disappeared, That's the last
you'll see of it. He laughed and insist
ed that it would be all right. He lived
in Wampole street and had given the
young woman his address. Well, time
went by until one day we two We're

Suddenly hanson was halted along

been paying attention, with giving her

which had been epidemic in the neigh
borhood, had been communicated to her
by kissing her repeatedly while the de-
PENDANT was recovering from measles

My client pleaded guilty to kissing the
plaintiff, but said he couldn't "a helped
