finely under him. It is another case of

From the Twenty-secOnd Kansas.

The Twenty-second Kansas has
passed an uneventful week meath the
shadow of the pines among the old
Virginia hills. The weather Is some
thing Of an improvement over that ex-
perienced at Topeka, although it has
rained a couple Of times Just as it does
in Kansas-straight down and all at
once. The health Of the camp is fairly
good, reports to the contrary nOtwith-
standing, especially among the Kansas
men. The main cause Of sickness
among our troops was the abominable
water, but as we get more accustomed
to 1t, sickness decreases.
We are encamped between q New
Jersey and an Indiana regiment.
The Kansas coyote which company c
brought with them to Virginia came
near being the innocent cause of a
stampede Of the whole New Jersey reg
iment One of our boys circulated the
report among the Jerseyites that the
coyote was loose, and soon the entire
camp was awakened by loud cries of
Corporal of the guard" and those east
ern guys actually put five men on each
post. One Jersey man said "he'd be gol
sQuashed if he'd stay there alone with
that coyote loose in the woods"
The coyote was still an object OF in
terest to them viewed at long range. The
only way we can retaliate with them
along the curiosity line is to ask to see
Jersey mosquito if they brought one
along. These Jersey fellows are of the
opinion that the Twenty-secOnd should
be in the cavalry service because we
'are all cowboys and toughs." One or

Peffer for Governor.

The Prohibition State convention at
SEmpOria last Wednesday nominated ex-
Senator w. A. PETER for Governor. The
platform declares for prohibition, law
enforcement and woman suffrage. The
war with Spain is also indOrsed The
other candidates are: Lieutenant Gov
ernOr, r. T. Black, Lyon county; Secre-
tary of State, ]. B. Garten, NeOsho
county; Treasurer, J. BiddisOn, Lyon
county; Superintendent, Mrs. r. N.
BuCkner, Brown county; Auditor, H. H.
Hurley, Geary county; Congressman-at-
large, M. Williams, Leavenworth
county.
In an interview, Mr.. PETER said:
"The platform adopted meets my
views in all Its declarations, and at the
proper time l will formally accept the
nomination that has been rendered me.
Il knew that my name would be pre-
sented to the convention, for Samuel
M Dickie, of Michigan, had assured me
of the fact at the conclusion Of con-
ference in which had told him that l
was willing to make the race providing
the platform was confined to the prOhi-
bition issue. The platform adopted Is
in response to my request, and can
heartily indOrse 1t. l take no new
ground in my advocacy of either pro-
hibitiOn or woman suffrage, for my sup
port Of these principles is lifelong.
Il accept this nomination not as
third party Prohibitionist, but as a cit
izen of Kansas, interested in the en-
fOrcement Of the Prohibition law. be-
lieve that that law has been too long a
dead letter. believe that it is time that
the State of Kansas enforce the law or
wipe it from its statute books.
Il believe that the people of Kansas
should be aroused to the necessity of de-
claring their sentiments on the liquor
question. I will urge vigorous cam
paign for the ticket nominated at EN-
poria, and am willing to do my part in
the campaign.
1T has been long time since Gov
ernor of Kansas has made sincere at
tempt to enforce the law. Humphrey
did not, Lewelling did not, Morrill, did
not, and no one will have the temerity
to say that the course of Governor
Leedy has been different from that Of
his immediate predecessors.
Il am in favor of the use of every pos
sible means of enforcing our present
liquor law, and believe that the metro
politan police system can be made
valuable aid in that direction. l am
consequently in favor of the retention of
that system"
When Mr.. PETER was asked the effect
on his relations with the POpulist party
Of his acceptance of the nomination he
said emphatically:
Il have no particular relations with
the POpulist party as at present cOnsti-
tuted. am POpulist, for / believe
in the original principles of the party.
1t was my belief in those principles that
caused me to do what l could towards
organizing the new one. am as earnest
an advocate of these principles as l ever
was but l believe that the present Pop
ulist party will inevitably be absorbed in
the Democratic party In the campaign of
1900. am not a Democrat and can
not follow the Populist party into Dem
ocratic ranks"

with their classes to the various manu-.
