He now descends from his high pedestal and says that he will fight Mitchell or Jackson in the order named, or, if they be not agrecable, man in the world next fall “Until very recently he maintained that he had the exclusive right to fight when and where and whom he pleased. In this way he could hold the championship fore quisite which he seemed to think his per- sonal property and to which none could make ny sort of clain. By his recent action in agrecing to meet Mitchell, Jackson or any he tacitly admits that his former position was wrong. So far, so good, “I now maintain that his present position is also untenable. As champion he cannot pick his adversaries. Jackson, Goddard. Mitchell or any other pugilist of first ¢ standing, who a challenge accom- panied by a substantial forfeit for a battle within a reasonable period from the date of the chumpion's last conflict, is entitled to consideration. The champion cannot call his battle He cannot No, I won't flght Jackson or Mitchell or Goddard; T will fizht Sheedy.’ That is what he is practi- cally pursuing, and is ridiculous, A cham- pion should not hold his laurels foreve “One word in ing, and I think it_will use painful surprise to Mr. Corbett.

Of course, three cannot now go into publican joint convention. and them the republicans can muster orly cighty-one members —two short of a Joint session quorum. The republicans will, therefore, be unable to elect 3 senator and John Martin will, without doubt, be the only applicant for recognition before the federil senate. The republicans, of course, claim that his election is illegal, inasmuch as it was participated in by a house whose organ zation they allege to be unconstitutional That question, however, will have to be settled by the United States senate when Mr. Martin appears with his credentials Judge Martin has been a leading democrat of Kunsas ever since thero were any demo- crats in the state.
