The Peoples Party Will Have Candidate
For President in 1892.
The Peoples party leaders have been
in consultation all day. One of the
matters discussed was the advisability
of forming a National political organize
ton. 1t met with the unqualified in
dorsement of every one of the party
leaders You can rest assured" said
Chairman Chase. that there will be an
Alliance candidate for President in
1892. We have received requests from
every agricultural State in the Union
for Kansas Alliance organizers These
requests include many Eastern States,
some of the most urgent coming from
Pennsylvania. We will probably send
some good workers out of the State"
''Will the Peoples party preserve its
organization in Kansas?''
The Peoples party chairman smiled
when the question was asked keen

Kansas will never go Republican again,

THE NEW PARTY.

Abh0ugh But Six Months Old 1t Is a Very
Lively Youngster.
The Independent Peoples party was
only born six months ago and for its
age 1T Is the most stalwart poll teal
youngster OF which there is any record.
Even If che Independent Peoples
party be overs zed in every Western
State this fall yet it will not be defeated.
On the contrary, the grand aggregate
OF the farmer vote will constitute the
very essence of victory for it will con-
tain the sure prophecy of triumph two
years from now
Farmers! Don't let the carpers and
sneerers tell you that you were foolishly
sanguine.
Remember, doubt never builds any
thing Hope is the great constructor in
this world.
There is no such thing as being over
sanguine in striving to do good works
just think once what a tremendous
army OF foes were banded against you.
There were both of the old party ma
chimes with their long years of careful
organization behind them.
Then there were the railroads, the
banks the trusts, the loan and invest.
ment companies the loan Shylocks, the
ehattel mortgage fends, the lawyers,
the newspapers, and last but not least
the selfish towards who should have
been in your ranks but dared not ven
ture.
And yet your six months bantling of
an Independent Peoples party nearly
scared the life out of the whole oano
At its past ratio of growth in two
years from now it can smash the entire
plutocratic crew with one hand.
This is time when every honest and
patriotic farmer should hold solemn
counsel with his own soul
Find out your individual duty to your
God, your family, your country and
your brother farmers, and do it
Men of sound conscienoes can not
shirk in this emergency. They must
feel and act out their belief that vic
tory to the united farmers can only be
wrought out by the brave toll of indi-
vidual farmers.
Every true man should work as IL the
outcome depended upon his personal eff.
forts alone, and it does so depend, for If
every farmer leaves the task to his
neiRhbor nothing will be done except
by the industrious plutocrats, and their
work will be putting chains on your
limbs
"Then let US be up and doing
With heart for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing

Alliance Aims and Purposes The Demoe-
raoy Upon Evolutionary Trial The TarifY
Only side Issue-Other Questions of
Vastly More Importance to BE Decided.
A late Washington dispatch SAYS that
Mr. l. L. Polk, president of the Nation
al Farmers Alliance, is very jubilant
over the result of the elections. In the
course of an interview he said:
THE Democrats and Republicans are
claiming every thing Just now but
when they come to SIT the chaf from
the wheat they will find that the Farm
eTF Alliance had something to do with
electing faiF proportion of the good
men who will have seats in the next
Congress Up to the present time it is
q certainty that Congress will contain
thirty-eight straight-out Alliance men,
and there are twelve or fifteen more
who are pledged TO US. These men arc
from the South and Northwest--two
sections in which most of our yorl, was
done. The Alliance in Nebraska Min
nesota and Iowa is not our organization.
has not amalgamated with US but a.
made the same fight and will ioin us
this winter. Our Alliance co-operated
with them; we will Cooperate with anv
farmers assoc alton, and in a little
while have grip on the situation in al
most every corner of the land.

form movement win not cease until IL
has impressed itsef indelibly in the
Nations history. Financial reform ia
the necessity of the hour, and it must
come The press and the voice OF the
stump speaker were our only assistants.
The Alliance had no campaign fund. no
boodle. If we had had money We wonld
not have used IT. The virtue and nat
riotism of the people were the things to
appeal to. Our methods were fair and
square and the whole world could see
what we were doing. The pr.ncInles
on which the Alliance is founded are
solid and corrects we must succeed. The
fight was no small affair. The EXTERN.
lists OF both parties attacked us bitterly
and gave no inch of ground. In the
South it was the Democrats who on
posed us In the North our most vioor-
gus antagonists were Republicans.

THE SENATE.

1t 10 More Than Probable That the Alliance
May Hold the Balance of Power In the
American House of Lords.
The election of eighteen United
States Senators depends upon the Leg.
islatures chosen at the late election.
The terms of twenty-seven Senators
eleven Democrats and sixteen Repub-
licans-expire next March, but the sue
cessors of six have already been elected
and in four other States the Legisla-
lures were chosen earlier in the year.
The present Republican majority in the
Sena tie is ten and there is no chance
of Democratic loss in mem bership The
Republican victory in Ohio comes too
late to capture the junior Senatorship, a
Democratic Legislature having already
elected Calvin S. Brice to succeed Sena-
tor Payne. Following is list of the
outgoing Senators:

California, Colorado, Connecticut Ne
Vada, Pennsylvani a, North Dakota and
Washington will return Republican
Senators. The new States, Idaho and
Wyoming, will send four new Repub-
lican Senators Illinois can not elect a
United States Senator without the con-
sent of the three Alliance members of
the Legislature. Kansas will send an
Alliance man. New Hampshire's Leg s.
lature is somewhat doubtful New
York will send a Democrat to succeed
Senator Evarts. South Dakota will
send an Alliance man and Wisconsin a
man acceptable to the farmers, though
Democrat, the farmers having prob
ably the deciding vote. If New Hamp-
shire's Legislature is Democratic the
SIX States we have just enumerated will
leave the Republican majority but two
only, with the Farmers Alliance Sena-
tors holding the power to at any time
give victory to the Republicans even
II two or three Republicans should vote
with the Democrats Besides this, the
Alliance will elect the Senators from
Alabama Georgia, North Carolina.
South Carolina and possibly Missouri.
Thus they will have a center BODY not
amenable to caucus rules, and within
one vote OF being exactly in the center
or dividing line between the two old
parties. If one Republican should vote
with the Democrats and Alliance Sena-
ators the Senate would be tie.

From the foregoing report 1t appears
that the next House will consist of 232
Democrats, 81 Republicans, Alliance
and Alliance Democrat with one dis
triet (the Second Rhode Island) in
which there was no election at the first
ballot The members from Georgia,
South Carolina and several other South
ern States that wers supported by the
Alliance are classified as Democrats,
and hence the actual All ance vote in
the next House does not appear in the
general summary.
The returns indicate the election of
two Alliance United States Senators be-
fore the 4th of March. one from South
Dakota and one from Kansas
The returns also forshadow the cleo
ton of Democratic Senators in New
York, Wisconsin, Mich gan and Illinois
to seats at present held by Republicans.
If this turns out to be the final result it
will reduce the Republican majority in
the Senate from IA to after the 4th OF
March.
