As soon as possible the Oiegon epiess

left on It tor the scene of tho lobln-iy.
When iho robbiis left they stmted away
on tho engine of the Southern Paeltio mull
This they toon abandoned, and It rollel Into
Lodl half an hour litei, going very tdowly,
with no one on board, nnd registering but
fotty pounds of steam. Ceorgo Androws.tho

after which In tired two shots at tho rob

Hied at him. Tho men thriutened again
to blow tho car to pieces with djuumite If
It was not opened, and tlio ei-press mes
senger then compiled with their demands.
Tho men got lusldo, taking us with them,
and ransaeked the ear. All tho money was

The Jon rnll is in receipt of the follow
ing letter from Governor Stone, which re
quires no Introduction:
JelTeison City, Mo., March S, 1S03.
To the Ildltor of tho Jotirn il
I nsk cpacn In the Joiirnnl for this
communication. You nitty reg.ml this as
n. rather umistinl requost for a Demo
cratic olllcliil to make of a Uopuhlirnn
Journal; but I do so partly hee.iuso there
Is no Deniocr.itlo paper published in
Kansas Cltj', nml partly because, al
though. In my opinion, the .Tourn.it Is
sometimes moto extreme in partisan ut
ternnco than It should be, It Is nt least
edited bj" gentlemen. For tliee ionons
1 ask thin courtesy at your liands.
I li.ivo been wantonly nsoallod by the('
Times nnd Star. I nm iiwnro that Mr.
McDonald, temporal lly of the temporarj
Times, and Mr. Nelson, of the Star, are
ndeptu In tile- low nit of, defamation, nntl
tint thny tno cnpiuli of descending to
nn- deptii of meanness; hut tho sudden
ness of this recent conceited attack upon
me, made ntteilj- without benso, provo
cation or excuse, anil tho mendacious
scurrility with which tliej have prose
cuted it, lias, I confess, somewhat sur
prised mo. To confess that I could be.
surpilsed nt anything; these men might
do will no doubt convict me of an unsus
pected fclmpllcl t. and mnv cxclto ome
solicitude on tho part of friends, but It
1b none tho less true that I did feel a lit
tle, Just a little, hiirprlsed.
And what Is nil tills savage beating of
tho tom-toms, this tempest in a teapot,
this ferocious comedj", about? A police
commissioner, whom I regret to say I
reluctantly appointed to a responsible
otllce, not out of regard to his mciit, but
to gratify Ills ambition nnd as a conces
sion lo lmportunltj-. omploj-s tin attornej
to write n letter of resignation for him lu
which ho seeks dolibeiately lo cieate
wroiis impressions, and which he in
stantlj' takes occasion to Rive to these
mugwump newspapers lis tho basis of a
scurrilous attack upon ono who had con
ferred an honor upon him, who had fa
vored him against his own Judgment,
and who had nlwaj-.s treated him with
tlio most frlondls' courtesy nnd consider
ation, Tho BUlistnnco of the charge is
that f floored tho removal of tile chief of
police at Kansas Cltj-, I liavo never ad
vised tho removal of tho chief of police.
The question of his removal was dis
cussed, but it was agreed that In no
event, unless somo new nnd extraordi
nary occasion should nrlso therefor,
would nnj' change be mado, at least un
til the expiration of Mr. Speers' term in
Maj Thi3 question ot n change did not
originate with me. near that In mind.
It was brought to mo bj- tlio commis
sioners themselves. Tho only thine I
had over asked of tho commissioners, or
ever shall ask, was to glvo to tho people
of Knnsas City an honest and eltlcient
polico administration
Tho newspapers and hundreds of peo
plo In Kansas City wpro denouncing; tho
polico as being everything but oillciont.
The Times nnd Star had Indulged In re
peated vituperation, nnd Mr, Mnj-or
Davis had added his clamorous com
plaints to tho general din. Tho public
wero Informed almost dnlly that policy
shops and other forms of gambling wero
being run In open defiance ot law; we
were told almost dally nlinut padded reg
istrations and stuffed ballot boxes; Find
lej'. Kline, Mtij', and men of that ilk
weie mado tlio texts for editorial phillp.
pics leveled at the police, and the per
formances of theso light-fingered gnntry
were paraded for the delectation of the
public; highway robbery was declared
by tho piess to he almost a safe em
plojment. If not a pastime, In Kansas
City; riots occurred at publlo meetings
nnd nt election, ami men were shot at
and shot down; timing tho strlk last
summer I was nillclally Informed that
Commissioner Conigau wub obliged
to tuka practical charge the
polico In order to ppneii -op-orty
and preserve, the iti . or
g.mteed bands of thugs s, , from
ward to ivaul and nveiiuii pi pit
rmileo; elections were rhuraet. ?d by
illegal respiration, Illegal votln -tufted
ballot botes, lorgctl leturni ami raudu
ient certifications.
The pi ess and people of Kan as City
have been complaining far j'tnis of a
condition of lawlessness. I heard of
lluse tilings, or many ot them lung be.
fuir I became governor, and the same
st.ry has been rung In. my e.iis ever
since. I determined to put nil nd to
theac outrages on publ.o order and de
cency. I had a right to Insist that the
police force bhoubl da, lis duty, I had a
light to expect its hearty co-operation
and support. It vai out of tho discus
s'on of buch mattcioAhat thu quest! 'ti of

proposed ns sultabl men for the place,
hut neither th proposition to rhnnRe, nor

Willi inn All this mm uroititht to me from
the lie.inl. t till not originate It. The ef
ficiency of tiie forer- y as the prlnrlpnl sub
ject of dlscitfi inn, and the qUfStion of
ehtitiRlng the chlnf was only Incldeht there
to The commissioners did not netv. The
pipTs and tlm piople Were forever com

stantly criticised, and t was brotlBht Iter-sonnllj-

I liai e n.'ver been able to Understand how

Can be east by ptofesslounl repeatets; bow

ness that smirks of lnimttnltv; how pollcj
shops, i rap games nnd otliet forms of Ram

without some rusf.il being imurIu and sent
to the penitentiary. Hut nil this tlilnps
