The news was sent broadcast over the
land that the populists aud democrats
had been showed under in the county
contests throughout the State that the
republicans had made sweeping gains
and the presidents policy had been
approved uy the people of Kansas.
All this claiming did very well Tor a

sort The republican gains have
dwindled across the line into losses
and the fusion forces are Iubilant.

THE excitement over the election Is
dying out gradually and we haven't
heard of single fool pretending to
want 20 wade in blood, for a week. The
story that Gov. Bradley has surrounded
himself with guard is denied and was
never believed by those who know the
governor. With reference 10 the
charge that he is wedding the demo-
Gratis from the military company at
Frankfort, the governor said IL was
false, that before the election the com
panys ranks became depleted and an
effort To muster IL TO the full quota was
unsuccessful. The members OF the
company thereupon asked that 1t be
mustered out of service, and the gov
ernor Gays that is what he is now do
ing, instead of preparing 70 call them
into service, as exported.

THAT truth is stranger than hctiot
has just been again demonstrated and
the Enoch Arden story laid in the
shade. Twenty-six years ago w. j.
Gilmore, now business man OF Kan
sas CITY, left his bride OF four months
In their little Kansas home aud be
came a sailor. He was never heard OF
after till recently, when learning that
his former wife was drcssmaker In
Covington, he came thither and they
were remarked, the wife having mar
ried under the suppo:ition that Gill
more was dead, aud become a widow
The daughter born to Mrs. Gilmore al
ter her first marriage Is now the lead
ing lady in "Courted In Court" aud Is
said to be very promising actress
She is IS years of age and her en-
forced absence from the marriage OF
her father, she has never seen, was
the only drawback to this very strange
story

The action Of Judge Brown in com.
pellipp the election commissioners OF
Knox county to certify the vote OF the
county was high handed outrage,
which is severely censured by demo-
Gratis and other fair minded men. II
gave the county commissioners abso-
lutely no discretion and robbed them
OF all their powers, but Judge Brown
can't act so "ficety" with the State
board, we are glad to say. Hon. James
d. Black says that the judges action
and the tactics of the republican lead
ers were the most shameful ever wit
messed by the people of that section OF
the State. The commissioners were
proceeding quietly with their work
without intimation 10 anyone OF what
they intended to do in the matter OF
throwing out votes, when the repub-
licans sent runners all over the county
to bring 10 a mob TO intimidate them,
and had their circuit Judge come over
from London and issue a mandamus
compelling, no, the counting OF the
votes of all parties, but of all the votes
cast for republican candidates. Such
usurpation of authority is as disgrace
full as it is sure to be rebuked.

w. p. WALTON.

THERE is nothing new to report
about the State election aud the pros
pect is that until the State election
commissioners meet, which will be not
later than Dec. I, and decide the mum
erous contests, the suspense Will not be
broken. Mr.. Goebel has a clear plural
ity of the uncontested vote and we are
sure will be declared elected. or the
contested votes TAYLOR has about an
equal plurality. The State board Is
certain to take cognizarce OF the frauds
and intimidation in Knox and In other
counties, where it was so pronounced,
and may throw the vote oil ali oil them
out. Taylor is seeking to have the courts
compel the Nelson county commits
sioners revise the returns and declare
the votes cast for w. p. Taylor for him.
The only thing for people to do now
is to possess their souls in peace and
wait for the meeting of the State
board. There is no danger that the
eminent gentlemen will do violence to
their own consciences and to the re-
publican party, by doing anything that
they should not and it is foolish to get
mad and make silly threats, that scare
no one and which are not made with
the intention of carrying them out.
Meanwhile IL any individual republic
can wants 10 fight he can, we oplne,
find democrat to accommodate him,
so II they do not mean business, let
them keep close watch on Their
mouths.

The Lexington Herald prints the
silly story that Mr.. Goebels support
ers are fast leaving him on account Of
the extreme aud bare-faced methods he
clings 70 in order 70 change the returns
so as TO favor himself. IL further says
that he rarely il seen outside his own
room at Frankfort, and very few OF his
closest friends are even admitted there.
IL is reported that on account of the
severe strain OF the past few weeks,
Goebel is on the verge Of nervous pros
tration. OF course this IL a bare-faced
lie, manufactured out OF whole cloth
and is no better for being told by a
pretended follower OF the meek and
iowly Nazarine, who mas broken other
parts of the Ten Commandments In
his day besides the 9th.

IN a letter To the Courier Journal,
President Milton II. Smith, OF the
Louisville " Nashville railroad, says
that his company has not controlled,
aud does not control, any newspaper
published 10 the State; that II has not
at any time owned, or had any interest
in, any newspaper, either as bond or
stockholder, or creditor; that no officer,
attorney or employe representing the
company has written, or prompted any
thing for publication in any newspaper
in the State during the pending cam
paign, except three communications,
two signed by the chairman of the
board and one by the president. Mr..
Smith does not say that his road has
not contributed to the support of GER
tain newspapers, without outside sup
port, one at least would have long since
gone TO the wall. But since Goebel is
elected and will be inaugurated, 1t is
not matter of as much importance as
it might have been.

New York, September 12,-The
World publishes dispatch from
Gibraltar giving an alleged interview
with Admiral Dewey, just before the
Olympia sailed for New York. The
Worlds correspondent says he asked
the admiral for a statement OF his
views as to the Philippine policy, and
that Dewey replied;
1--WE little to say untn tne recon-
mendations Of the commission, of
which / am member, are laid be-
fore President Mckinley
did you read what Mr.. Schurmnn,
one of the commissioners, had to say
upon his return from the Philip
pinesp"
"As he is quoted in the newspapers,
I quite agree with what Mr.. Schur-
man says"
"You may add this" the admiral is
alleged to have said, with great earn
estness. IT have not changed my
opinion which ! stated in the early
days nt Manila, then speaking OF
knowledge of both peoples, that | con.
slider the Filipinos more capable OF
Self-goverument than the Cubans.
II took the keenest interest in those
Filipinos who were employed at the
arsenal in Cavite and often I was sur
prised by their intelligence. With fair
and properly directed opportunities
there are great possibilities in the
Eilipnos."
