DsCORD REIGNING AMONG THE HUTCH
TNsON REPUBMCANs.

When the Kansas republicans were
gleelully boasting Of their $4,000 ma
jority" they were apparently blissfulI
in their sweetly attuned harmonies
until President Harrison exhibited a
scanty disregard Of the pressing
claims Of his hosts Of Kansas patriots,
But since the very instructive cleo
tion Of November A 1890, these breth-
rem seem to speak right out in meet
ing, with a most wonderful freedom
OF speech.
Ralph M. Easley, Of the Hutchin-
son Nelcs, who is nothing # not inn
pertinent, jumps with a coarse bru-
tality upon Hon. George r.. Peck, Of
Topeka, accusing him Of "trying to
stand in with the alliance for sena-
torial purposes" Listen TO the fol-
lowing newsy denunciation Of Mr.
Peck:
The alliance would rs soon support Mr.. Mail.
vel or Mr.. Cable or Mr.. Gould as Mr.. Peck. II
the Santa Ne attorney would reflect q moment II
would come 20 his mind that the late campaign
waged by the alliance was three,fOurths Oft
against railroad corporations and laws formed In
their interest by Just such men rs George r.
Peck
Mr.. Peck may wear WlllIts badges after elec-
tlOn, subscribe for all the alliance papers and
send out passes 10 all Of the state legislature but
such work will hardly win this year.
Kansas has had entirelytoO much Pecklsm the
past ten years.
Pecksm has had more TO do with the defeat Of
the republican party In Kansas, than any other
cause, and nobody knows IL better than tho re-
publcans who voted this year with the peoples
party.
TWAS the very quintessence Of folly
for Ralph to have alluded to Mr.. Peck
is this connection, and should Mr..
Peck ever feel like 'letting himself
loose" such pigmy journalists as Mr..
Easley, who is still fighting with the
energy of despair, for the departed
Ingalls,, might not last very long un-
der his herculean blows
The Times-RepublicGm Of Hutcbin-
son, in greatly rebuking the Ne'cs,
puts forth the following interesting
matter:
There ls no man In this state who has heard
that Hon. George II. Peck II a candidate for
United States Senator. II isa we'll known fact
by every body that he is not and has not been.
Before republican sentiment In this state crystal
ICED for the reelection Of Senator Ingalls, Hon.
George r. Peck was said TO be q probable Candl-
date, but he wrote letter denying his candidacy
and every paper In the state either published II
or told its readers OF the fact No man has
since had any authority TO place him In any
other light. The whole campaign was made for
Ingalls,. He was endorsed by almost every re-
publican convention In the state from the town
ship caucus to the state convention, He was the
issue OF this campaign. Ingallslsm and republl-
Canlsm were synonymous. No republican was
tolerated for moment who did not worship at
the shrine Of IngalIslsm. But the election went
adversely and the republicans secured only
twenty-seven representatives, out Of o total Of i22
when in the last house they had i22. The cleo
tIOn Of the great Senator hung in grave doubt
and naturally other men were talked about. But
Mr. Peck was for Senator ingalls, and is for him
to-day, a fact which the Netos very well knows.
AS 'Tngallsism and republicanism
were synonomOus," and as "the whole
campaign was made for Ingalls," is
not the cheering fact that in a body
Of 125 members--the Kansas House
Of Ranraaantativas--thera will be
