COL. POLK IN KANSAS.

One Thousand Three Hundred Ve-
hicles..Six Bands of Music..Ten
Thousand People--The Republican
Years Has Been Against the Farmer.
Especial Cor. STATE CHRoNICLE.l
EMPORIA, Kan, July Z, 1890.
EDITOR STATE CHRONICLE:-I was pres
ent last Saturday (the 9Th inst.) at the
grove near this city, and heard the ad-
dress of Hon. L. L. Polk, your distin-
guished fellow citizen.
An immense crowd was present. Thlr-
teen hundred vehicles were counted, and
hundreds of people came by the rail-
roads and upon horseback. Those COM
petent to Judge estimate the number at
not less than ten thousand.
There were six bands of music and
numbers of flags, emblems and mottos
carried in the great procession Of farm
ers.
The writer has resided here for twenty
one years, and during all that time never
has witnessed such an immense con-
course of people in and around the city.
Mr.. Polk was accorded most respect
full and attentive hearing. While the
Alliance members greatly prepondera-
ted, yet there was large intermingling
| of merchants, professional men, mechan-
| les and others.
The speaker was frequently interrupt
| ed by storms of applause and the words
"good," "strike them again." &c.
In my opinion his words of wisdom
and statistical showing will bear abund-
ant fruit in the autumn harvest.
| This county in the past has averaged
1900 Republican majority, and this ma
jority has been manipulated at times to
the great detriment of the public inter
est A nomination is equivalent to an
election, and incompetent and venal
men oft times have filed our most re-
sponsible positions.
The producer aud the laborer have
grown weary of the burdens that are
growing to be intolerable, and the cry
is change, anything for change
They are now realizing at last that legis
lation for twenty five years past has beer
in the interest of capital and corpora.
tions, to the detriment of the toiler and
the maker of bread.
Mr.. Polk met many Of our people so
cially as we'll as publicly and | hear
nothing but favorable comment from
all. North Carolina may well be prou(
of such son.

LONDON. July 12.-Henry nj. Stanley
and Dorothy Tenant were married at
Westminster Abbey at 12 o'clock. Mr..
Stanley walked up the aisle leaning heav-
ily on cane and looked unwell. The
abbey was densely crowded.
At 1:4O the members of Miss Ten
nants family, Mr.. Gladstone, Baroness
Burdettcoutts, and her husband Sir VIM.
McKinnon and Sir John Kuke, the Afri
can traveller, entered the building. AS
the hands of the clock indicated the
hour of l: :55 p. m. Mr.. Stanly looking
i'll and nervous, and leaning upon the
arm of his best man, Count D'Aroch. the
representative of King LeoI old, of Bel
GUM, entered the door. Mr.. Stanley
walked with so much difficulty that he
required the assistance of cane in ad
dition to the support of the Counts arm.
He was closely followed by number OF
his late African comrades.
The bride was attired in a magnificent
toilet of white corded silk, en- train,
with the traditional veil and orange
blossoms fastened with diamonds. She
also wore the magnificent diamonds pre-
sented to her by Mr.. Stanley as we'll az
the necklace with miniature pendan
presented to her by Queen Victoria.
Miss Tenant was extremely nervous
and tremulous during the ceremony
Contrary to expectation, IN view of Mr.
Stanley's illness, the church service wa
carried out in full, the bridegroom re
naming seated through the greater p.lr
of the time, while the bride stood by hl
side. The marriage ceremony was soI
emnezed by the Bishop of Ripon, as
sisted by the dean Of Westminster, an
Canon Farrar: The bride was give
away by her brother, Mr.. Charlie
Coombe Tenant.

Personal AND SOCIAL.

The Spanish mission, it is understood,
has been rendered to General Malone.
of Virginia, but the probabilities are
that he will not accept it. The reason
assigned for his expected declination is
that he does not like President Harri-
son, and will not for that reason place
himself under obligation to that gentle
man.
Rev. r. 81. Whitaker says we were
mistaken in saying yesterday morning
that he assisted in meeting in Chapel
Hill last spring. He did preach there
twice last fall, while DR.. North was as
sisting nr Gordon in revival meeting
here. AS to whether .'he won the
hearts of the people" or whether "they
were anxious to have him" as their pas
tor. as our article of yesterday stated,
Mr.. Whitaker says he does not know;
but he hopes and earnestly prays that
many hearts may be won to Christ, and
many, who are already trusting, may DO
greatly blessed during the few months

with the church at Chapel Hill.
