MOB.
Topeka,Ka*., Nov. 7—This
city last night was wild with
excitement over the election
returns, and tho suspense of
both Republicans and Demo-
crats was great, Both parties
marched the streets yelling
and cheering, and the returns
were favorable alternately to

est indignation is expressed
by Kansas Republicans at St.

of John P. St. John, Novem-
ber 4, 1834." A rope was
•hrown over the cross-bar and
the effigy was soon swinging
from the top of the telegraph
pole. Colonel P. H. Coney,
who was conspicuous as one of
tho Irish orators in the Ohio
campaign, then addressed the
assemblage in the following
words:
Follow Citizens:—/The just
indignation of the righteous
and loyal people of Kansas is
here expressed by the public
execration and final destruc-
tion of that carpet-bagger,
John P. St. John. Ho has
violated every trust and confi-
dence and deserves no con-
sideration. Parade hiui! bang
him! burn him! But be sure
and clear Kansas of his dis-
graceful name."
At the conclusion of his re-
marks a match was applied to
the effigy and it was soon
burned, amid the shouts snd
jeers of the populace, and the
National Prohibition candidate
for President went to destruc-
tion in effigy at tjie capital of
his State and in the city where
he lived during his four years
of administration as Governor

A LETTER FROM CURTIS.

Washington Star says tha
following reply to an inquiry
sent to Geo. Win. Curtis by a
government employee her^
has just been received:
"West New Brighton, N. Y.,
Nov. 14:
"Dear Sir—I hive your
letter of the 12th. There is
no doubt Mr. Cleveland will
encounter a tremendous de-
mand for a clean sweep. But
I think that, while changes
will and changes ought to bo
made for perfectly legitimate
reasons, he will respect tho
letter and the spirit of the re-
form law, and that non-po-
litical officers, who have been
he nest and effective in theAdis-
eharge of duty, and who havo
not misused their positions
for party or political ends,
will not be arbitrarily dismiss-
ed for political reasons. Of
course, I have no authority to
speak for Cleveland. My faith
is founded on knowledge of
his character and convictions.
Truly yours,
Geo. Wm. Curtis."
