sAs. FRIDAY, OCTOBER pa. 1890.
THE SAME OLD CAMS.

In Kansas the Republicans have
gone at it in their usual way. relying
| on the Willingness of farmers to wear
on estilous necks the yoke of party
name For year the politicions have
watched the rebellion of the voters
/ against the saciifice of western inter
ests at the shrine of eastern manufac-
tnrers and banks. The Kansas dele
cations obey ed their caucuses IN
Washington and derided the suggestion
that they would be punished at home.
! They looked forward in easy coniid-
euce to u few weeks illumination about
| The old flag and stirring up of issues
not at stake. They calculated upon
| carrying the old Republican, vote with
| grand sweep away from the tariff
and contraction of the currency to the
war.
The programme is in course of exc
cution. The machinery is in motion.
Tile big politicians ut the principal
meetings and the little ones ut the out
yiHg places, all under the same orders
are covering mp the issues which con-
ceru the cost of living, the taxation,
the incomes and the happiness of citi-
zens and are kindiing the flames OF
prejudice. For Republican, resubmis-
sionists they howl about the war. For
prohi5itionist alliance members they
stoOtst tu6 VI AnCJ
claim all the patriotism that exists iii
addressing the one element and all the
morality i'll addressing the other. The
verbal capacity of the scores of week
ly papers held i'll hand by the state
house ring and of tho drilled banks of
hopeful ufficeseekers is strained tn
overMheim public opinion on living
gu eStiOns with ii teni orstry eXItement
over faded remnants of past con-
tests.
An issue. is presented which goes
deeper than even the decisi IN of the
state on The Mckinley bill or the bull
lion buying silver bill. 1t is whether
the agricultural vote of Kansas is
eternaily to be Il newer of wood for
Republican ring politicians. If
cJucSa of hypOcriticai state government
and surrender of state interests in
congress can be atoned for by two or
three weeks of fiatulent defamation
pending an election, the farmers of
Kansas are what ingalls, and his INIT
ators think they are-creatures with
out mind or spirit, tools for cunning
adYenturers to use and worthless for
an honorable man who entertains Il
impe nf leading independant fellow
citizens to IL victory for the good of
their homes.
Are pledges of Kansas TO tariff re-
duction and currency liberation idle
talk to be swept away by the appear
ance on the stump of politicians whose
betrayals drove the people to make
tile pledges?-Er.

The scramble for the place left va
cant by the late Justice Miller is al
ready quite lively among the Republi-
cans. Attorney. General Miller, Ola
account of his personal relations with
Mr. Harrison, has the inside track but
it is by no means certain that he will
get the prize. Secretary Noble would
GLADLY tahe it, but Corporal Tanner
says he will not, if his soldier infiu-
ence can prevent it. Senator Edmonds
would not object, although he would
only have about eight years to. serve
before he became eligible for retire
ment, but they say the east isn't iii it.
Senator Spooner and several other
gentlemen have friends here working
i'll their behalf, and the Indiana folks
who are opposed to Attorney General
Miller are trying TO do something for
Judge Gresham. Before Congress re-
assemblies the number of candidates
will be largely Increased.

Republican audacity MIR. Harrison,
after q rather stormy discussion in
which his cabinet was nearly equally
divided, has reached the conclusion
that it would be certain defeat to his
party at the Congressional elections
for him to issue n proclamation con-
vening Congress in extra session for
the sole purpose of passing the Force
bill and the Congressional .apportion
ment bill, two measures intended to
perIetuate the power of the Republi-
can party. This conclusion is another
victory for MIR. Blaine over the Reed
wing Of Ills purty-Mr.. Blaine. has
never wavered in his opposition to the
