While protectionists graduate from the school of iolitical deme- ptues," would have come nearer Mum the difference. Protection a- monj the producing ctaucs even with Republican, is beinj: rccognied as a chestnut if we may be pardoned for ning the term, and their references to it are al.ty carefully modified, or not made at alt, as in the case of this and the most of Kansas counties this year.

1 ne kind of protection they arc to want is against prices that are extortionate to icbbcry, that are filling the confers of the rich and depleting their own poc'-iCts which self same prices they ari beginning to learn are maintained and made pos-' sible by I'm sarr.c protection that has been howled into their cars as being a panacea for all their foublcs.

Mahonc by the Virginia Republicans will be the means of relegating to the shades of oblivion that fester on the body politic. It will be remembered that Ma-hone rode to the front with the issue of repudiation-or what he called re adjustment' of the state debt, and the negros can vote, but whether he can vote as he pleases.

They are like that other c'ass of Republicans who have ben f'ghting the war over ever since it closed, but x.hn invarbblv at home taking care of the babies while it was going' on. say this ot those who have been fighting the war over since it closed, and not cf those who went to the front, for they got all they wanted at that time.

At the head of this coN umn will be found the invincill John Sherman, JohnJIngalls and James Blaine, a trio who let up on the bloody shirt only when public sentiment compelled them to.
