THE ISSrK, SQUAltKIA'.
In this ciiupaigu the issue is direct. Both
the Republican and Democmtic platforms
are explicit. There is no dodging 'r evas
ion. Col. Moonlight stands squarely on an
anti-prohibition platform, and Governor
31artin. who in iyS2 was a pronounced anti-prohibitionist,
is now the zealous advocate
of the present law.
No one will deny that a large clement,
possibly more than one-half of the voters
of Kansas desire resubmission. There is
not one valid reason why the constitutional
amendment should not ag:un ba submitted
to a vote of the people. A large portion off
the voters of Kansas demand resub
mission, and in no way can there be a
final settlement of this question but bv
again submitting the prohibitory amend
ment to a vote of the people. Kansas Deui
ocrat.
If Moonlight is "landing squarely on an
anti-prohibition platform," as you say, and,
Martin is a "zealous advocate" of the pres
ent law, and Martin should happen to be
elected by thirty or forty thousand ma
jority wiry don't that settle it? After the
voters have said that they want Martin and
prohibition instead of Moonlight and re
submission why not drop Uie subject? In
this country majorities arc sup'ioscu to rule
and when "that majority not only once,
twice, but a half dozen times speak em
phatically, that is enough. El Dorado Republican.
UNENVIABLE POSINGS.
Who is tho Soldier's Friend Moonlight or
Martin?
Moonlight finding thut the platform upon
which the Democracy has placed him smelt
too loud of whisky for Kans:is nostrils, has
almost wholly ceased his cry of resubmis
sion aud high licei se, and is undertaking
the difficult feat of posing as tho soldier's
special fnend. With any other man than
Col. John A. Martin in the field he might
make a greater success of his new role.
The people of Kansas in a marked way or
observable manner, delight to lienor the
ex-union soldier, and the people of no state
are so delighted with soldiers' reunions.
They are held every year, in every section of
the state, Last year Governor Martin had
for eieven weeks, from two to four appoint
ments every week at soldiers' reunions, and
never disappointed the people in a single
instance. This season has been so far a
repetition of last. Moonlight was invited
some three Aveeks ago to a reunion at West
moreland, Pottawattomic county. Govern
or 3rartin who never in his life violated the
proprieties of such an occasion by dragging
in party or politics, was promptly on hand
and delivered a most acceptable address to
everybody. Next day came Moonlight
with blattant Kelly, the Democratic negro
candidate for auditor. Kelly spoke in
the morning, and his rambling talk was
wholly of politics, lie insulted not only
the soldiers, but the memory of Lincoln,
just as he did here in Wichita. In fact he
makes but the one talk. Colonel Buckner,
chaplain of the grand army, who was
present, saw Moonlight directly after
Kelly's speech and protested sigain'st the
introduction of politics, and such politics
at a soldiers reunion. Moonlight spoke in
the afternoon, and he began his speech by
saying that he had not been in the habit of
attending meetings or reunions of soldiers
for the past fifteen years, and that he
hardly knew how to address such
an assemblage. After telling one
or two anecdotes he opened out
by declaring that he was the Democratic
candidate for governor of Kansas; that he
was more interested in the canvass for the
position than in anything else, and that
therefore he proposed to talk about the
political issues of the day, whereupon he
proceeded to deliver a democratic and
partisan harranguc in which he denounced
the Republican party, defended Cleveland's
vctos of the pension bills, and abused the
cause of prohibition.
Wc notice that again two weeks ago he
was present at a soldier's reunion at
Seneca, where an immense crowd
of soldiers had gathered. The speak
ers announced were 3Ioonlight, Major
Morrill, Tim McCarthy and Gov
ernor Martin. Surrounded as he was
Moonlight did not dare deliver his usual
tirade and excused himself from saying
anything on the grounds of a very sore
throat. Governor Martin, Major Morrill
and Tim McCarthy all delivered appro
priate addresses. That night, however,
Moonlight addressed for an hour and a
half a small crowd of Democrats on politi
cal topics. His throat most suddenly re
gained its normal condition when it came
to talking to Democrats with nobody
around to answer him. He played the
same game at a soldiers' reunion at Clay
Center a few days later,only week before last,
declining to speak to an immense crowd
in the park in the afternoon on the pretense
that he had lost his voice but speaking at
night in a Democratic meeting.
At the state reunion at Emporia hist
week he failed to put in an appearance till
the last moment. Twenty thousand peo
ple were present the first two days, yet he
avoided this gieat meeting of soldiers as
though they had the small pox in camp.
He only arrived and spoke at night after
the close of the reunion and to a Demo
cratic meeting.
All these meetings were simply called and
banked upon the fact that the people
who were there for a different purpose
might be caught for his purpose. When
forced to address the old uuiou guards, de
fenders aud preservers, he simply outraged
the proprieties; the other times he but at
tempted to turn such gatherings iuto Dem
ocratic meetings that he might talk his per
sonal aspirations and his political convic
tion1', if indeed he has any.
The Emporia Globe in referring to the
action aud attitude of Governor Martin and
Col. Moonlight at Emporia, on the occa
sion referred to, say:
"There was no enthusiasm for Moon
light whatever among the soldiers in at
tendance upon the reunion. The
fact is Colonel Moonlight avoided
Emporia while the reunion was in ses
sion, never putting in an appcar
auce until the afternoon of the last day,
when mast of the soldiers had gone home.
He refused to attend the reunion, although
especially invited, and wc learn h:id not
the courtesy to even reply to the commit-
l tee's invitation. He did not seem to desire
j to attend and make a non-political speech
i to the veterans of Kansas. He could only
I .itn ti tnlL- it 1Vnrrr?it nftpr tlu ;nliHirs;
had gone. The contempt with which he
treated Emporia, the invitation committee
and 30,000 soldiers, did not do the Demo
cratic candidate any good in the estimation
of the boldiers or auvbodv else.
How different was the case of Colonel
Martin, the Republican candidate. He
showed his usual interest in the affairs of the
people of Kausas by commgjicre anil ming
ling with the soldiers and people for three
days. He spoke on Wednesday as per an
nouncement, again on Wednesday night,
on Thursday afternoon and brieiiy Thurs
day night at the Woman's Relief Corps
meeting, thus contributing all in his power
to make the reunion a success in every
way. Th? soldiers know the conduct of
the two men en the occasion, aud ft will be
futile for Democmtic papers to attempt to
cover up Mr. Moonlight's shortcomings by
frothy ami lalse dispatcher to Democratic
papers. Such attempt to lolstcr up their
waning fortunes simply disgusts the public
in general, and will receive the proper re-
buke.
Senator Plumb in his speech at Osage
City Saturday showed the policy of the
Democratic claims to ascendency which,
ther claim because they had not paid the
southern war claims and only vetoed 113)
pension bills; the right to promotion be
cause they said they" would diminish the
number of employes and thereby curtail
the government expense, when in fact
they have increased the number of em
ployes 3,000 men. and the expense last
year was $4000,000 greater than the last
year of the Republican" rule, and $2o,000,
(O0 more than anv previous Tear since
1875.
WANTED. INFORMATION.
To the Editor of the Eagle.
I see in Saturday's Eagle an editorial
headed "The Rule of Anarchists would
Destroy Civilization," Would you or some
of your readers please inform ine what the
rule of anarchists means? I must confess
that I have never had the opportunity of
reading a statement of their aims and ob
jects, only what I sec in the Eagle "to
divide up equally with everybody who
might claim a share." This is too indef
inate for me to understand, or to be able to
read anything concerning them intelli
gently. Beside, why are they included in
your discussion of the labor question?
What has anarchy to do with the labor
problem, or the labor problem to do with
anarchy?
I have been an active operator in the
rank3 of labor in all its ups and downs for
forty-six years, and ought to be as able to
understand or discus3 the situation as any
one. But I need information concerning
these anarchists, so that I may not get them
mixed up with grangers, farmers' alliancos,
Greenbackers, anji-mouopolists, Knights of
Labor, trades unions, and eveiy other or
ganization of industry that is endeavoring
to obtain a measure of justice.
Thirty years ago the name "abolitionist"
was used as a holy terror to frighten the
voters aud round them up to the polls to
vote for the continuation in power of the
pro-slavery Democracy,
Their press and their speakers taught
the multitude that the aim aud object of
the "Abolitionists" was to steal niggers, to
incite the niggers to masacrc the whites, to
cut their throats in the night and give their
roofs to the flames. The abolitionist was
especially determined that a nigger should
marry his sister, and he was a fiend incar
nate on gcnerai principles. The hirelings
of the slaveoeracy swore eternal extermina
tion against the abolitionist. They im
prisoned and persecuted the Parkers and
Lovcjoys, and hanged. the Browns. They
shot down inocent men for arming them
selves in self defence, and arrested and im
prisoned honest men for conspiracy and
treason. While all this was going on I
was at a loss to know where I stood. But
when it was revealed to me that the object
of those who were termed abolitionists was
simply to overthrow the corrupt and arro
gant rule of the slave power, to secure
justice, and to advance to a higher plane
of civilization, I discovered that I, myself,
had been an abolitionist all the time. The
wrongs and outrages perpetrated upon the
people of those times are so vividly impres
sed upon my memory that I cannot for the
life of mc surprpress a lurking suspicion
that the same means arc being used to ac
complish the same ends. To say the least
there is a wonderful similarity in the meth
ods and tactics of the money power of to
day and of the slave power of thirty years
ago. This is why I want to learn what the
anarchists want to accomplish.
Wm. Ross.
One of the cardinal principles of the
anarchists, if indeed it is a principle, is op
position to capital, aggregated, incorpor
ated or otherwise. For an instance of the
success, progress aud standing of nations
under such an idea we refer Mr. Ross to
Old Mexico, to China and to India previous
to British rule. Auarchy means the de
struction of corporate and personal enter
prise and a mere dead civilization, uupro

ST. JOHN, KANSAS.
To tho Editor or tho Eagle.
The county Democracy met in conven
tion Saturday, and placed a full ticket in
the field: 31. B. Walker for representative,
J. Frank Guernsey probate judge, C. II.
Higgins county attorney, Charles Campbell
district clerk, Mrs. A. B. Wheeler super
intendent of public instructions and George
W. Vreeland commissioner. The ticket is
a strong one, and considering the split in
the Republican ranks, stands a good show
of election.
The Swartz wing of the republican party
under the name of the people's mass con
vention, also met and nominated a full
ticket Saturday last, with Hon. E. Ross
Swartz at the head for representative, Gen.
J. A. Cooper for probate judge, John W.
Rose county attorney, Wm. Dixon county
clerk, J. Salmon superintendent of public
instruction and S. A. ilartena commis
sioner. Four tickets now in the field, those above
reported, with Prohibition and a straight
Republican ticket. While the county is
clearly Republican, yet there is considerable
solicitation on the part of the straight Re
publican ticket. At bet it is a mixed
affair ith the odds in favor of Walker the
Democratic nominee or Swartz the people's
nominee for representative.
Notwithstanding the political "kickings''
St. John continues to prosper. Her growth
has been unusually rapid for the past few
months, having almost doubled her popu
lation since March 1, 1886.

THE WAY HUTCHINSON LOOKS AT IT.
From tho Hutchinson News.
Ilutchinson was honored this morning
with a visit from the most distinguished
railroad magnates this world has produced,
viz: Jay Gould, George Gould and A. L.
Hopkins. The party came over from St.
Louis in Mr. Gould's private car, and was
accompanied by Mrs. George Gould, who
was making her first visir to Kansas, and
the officials of the Wichita fc Colorado, in
cluding Col. Marsh Murdock, of the
Eagle. The whole party at once took car
riages for a drive over the principal Mreets,
and were loud in their praises of the Queen
city. Said Mr. Gould. "I am greatly sur
prised at what I irCti here, I had heard
much of Hutchinson and her wide
awake business men, but I hdd
no idea of the reality Cer
tainly Hutchinson is destined to make a
city. Wichita and Hytchiuson will be the
two large cities of Western Kansa.."
"But are not the two towas too close to
gether" "Xo. They will command dif
ferent territory. Wc expect to do much
for Hutchinson. It is properly located for
a wholesaling and manufacturing poinL"
Said Mrs. George Gould to ourwreporcr:
"I an. not an expert in manufacturing
business, but I know your city is most
lieauiifuliy and tastily laid out' Your
wide streets and avenues, with long rows
of trees betokens a taste that is
truly refreshing o a person ac
customed to the . narrow, pent up
concenis called streeu in cur eastern cities.
I sliall comfc to Hutchinson again when we
have time to pay rov a longer vint."
The directors and official of the Wichita
and Colorado had all buca here Istelv fave
Col. Murdock and A. W. Oliver. These
gentlemen were both pleased with the lively
appearance of things, and the Eagle man
Dredicu -d a population of 30,090 in eigh
teen months, tn fact Marsh ordered some
lots he bought for $o a dozen in 78 put on
the market at $2,000 apiece. The distin
guished party returned to Wichita.
