The following letter from Massachu.y
sets dated October, 9th was received
some time since but is still good
enough to read. and Mrs. Smiths
friends WILDE glad to hear from Hgf.
L. l.. Blank;-Dear Sir;
= * *t My paper has come very
promptly, and look for the local items
first thing, as ! feel very much litter
ested in the people there.
Am glad to know by the papers that
the farmers are getting such good
price for their grain, forit means more
comfort the coming winter for their
families and it will encourage every
one.
We have had the coolest SUMMER
here in New England, that remem-
Der. Have had but few very warm
days since the last of June. Frost
came early in September, and damaged
the garden some. Last week Wednes-
day we had a few Show flakes, mixed
with rain. We are all hoping for a
fine "Indian Summer 1t has been so
cold.
Enjoyed my trip to the mountains ia
August. But it was cold enough for a
fire most every day during the two
weeks l spent there. The trees are
fast losing their greenness, and the
naples, are growing bright with their
Autumn dress. Very soon we shall
look out upon our two, mountains; Mt.
Tom and Holyoke; and see them cold
and bare. The foliage has seemed
finer this year and very heavy. Every
thing has had gteeher appearance
than is usual in summer months.

Senator Plumb
Hlawatha Werld.

Hiawatha World.
The term of Senator Plumb viii ex-
pire on the fourth on next March.
Our legislature viii meet in January
and every republican member viii
vote for senator Plumb, thus re-elect-
ing him by a very large majority
His campaign for that election is
going on now. And every sen
atOrial convention held in the state
and all but three or four have been
heId-has instructed its candidate for
state senator to vote for the re-elec-
ton of Senator Plumb. This instruc-
ton, to all the counties, carries with
it the instruction Of the candidates
for the house Of representatives.
Thus we see, in effect, senator re-
elected before his term expires and
without the lifting ola finger by him
self to secure the result. And the re-
election would come with the same
unanimity had no instructions been
voted
Preston B. Plumb has done the
state great service and his Iabors are
fully appreciated by the people of
Kansas. His career began with the
beginning of Kansas, first as an edit
or, then as a soldier, then as a MEM
Der Of the legislature and speaker of
the house, and finally, in natural
ascent, to his present high position.
The United States senate is a body
Of distinguished men, but even in
that assemblage, Plumb is a giant.
No other man there has his versatility. !
his great intellectual range over the
whole field of public questions.
Plumb is the companion and peer of
the men with the biggest brain, not
in the senate only but in the United
States. IF he aspired only to money
making and social distinction, he
would be another and a stronger
Chauncy NJ Depew and receive a
hundred thousand a year for his ser
vices. But Plumb's mind, purpose.
ambition, has always been in the di-
rectiOn Of public affairs; in political
leadership. He handles great public
affairs and questions, and large bust
ness transactions with GOODNESS and
ease, receiving the intellectual graft
icatiOn that comes to kingly men.
He has not a spark Of the vanity and
pride that go with small natures. He
would as soon eat dinner at a lunch
counter as in a palace, and would
talk as freely and learn more from
the people on the counter stools than
from the bedizened palatiaI guests.
Senator Plumb suits Kansas exact
ly because he is Kansas embodied.
He came here a poor printer and
hard worker. He has had ups and
downs without whlmpering and has
always pushed ahead with amazing
energy His legs are as impetuous
and tireless as his brain, and the Kan
sas farmer and soldier who goes to
Washington to visit the departments
IS hOpelessly stranded before the.
journey is half over in trying to fol-
low Plumb. And the senator who
tries, half an hour afterwards to fol-
low the lightning talker and reasoner
in the senate chamber comes to a like
hopeless defeat and standstiu.
Kansas viii keep Plumb in the
senate as long as he will stay there.
The only man who can beat US Is Ben
Harrison, of Indiana. If he makes
Plumb the Secretary Of the Treasury
we will be glad as citizens of the ma
