Endorsement of the Farmers Mutual Benefit
Association, but it was not sufficient to Sc
cure their election.
Later returns indicate almost beyond a
doubt that Fithian (D.) has been defeated in
the Sixteenth District by Reeder, the nom-
alton. This will make the delegation eleven
Democrats, eight Republicans, one Farm
ers' Mutual Benefit Association.
Later-This evening Congressman Fithian
telegraphs the Associated Press. asserting
that complete returns will show his re-elec-
tion by 800 plurality. A dispatch from
kankako also indicates the probability that
complete returns may show the defeat Of
Payson.
Congressman Joseph G. Cannon sends the
following to the Associated Press, in re-
ply to query as to the election: Most OF
the members of the Farmers Alliance voted
with their respective parties. but enough
farmer Republicans threw away their votes
to weaken the party in this district. The
school question told against the Republic
cans heavily The Democratic candidates
for the Legislature made all the pledges
Democrats that they did not mean
anything by it. The pledges gave
them large vote, especially from
the Germans, who voted the straight Demo-
cratic ticket. The Mckinley act, on discus
sion. was approved by the Republicans, hut
the campaign was so short all could not
be reached to counteract the Democratic
and mugwump Misrepresentation as tU its
provisions and effect. With these, other
forces were sufficient to work our defeat.
The tariff law, as its effects are felt. will be
a tower of strength instead of weakness.
The Republicans. especially the farmers. be-
lieve in the American system of protection.
The Republicans .will clear the decks for
action in 1892, and carry the country. The
Democrats annot succeed second time by
fraud and falsehood.
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-At late hour tonight
tine returns in Cook County were still in-

KANSAS.
The Farmers Alliance Scores q Signal
VICTORY


KANSAS CITY, Nov. 1.-The Republican
candidate for Governor has been prob
ably beaten, ak out OF seven of the
Republican Congressional candidates have
been defeated and Senator Ingalls, re-
election is a subject of grave doubt That
is the situation in Kansas.
There was landslide. a regular avalanche
in Kansas when an $1,000 Republican major
ity was overwhelmed by, resistless force
The Farmers Alliance did it, and it was a
genuine surprise. Every political prophet
predicted great strength for the alliance,
but only the most Sangulne OF rural seerS
regarded its success as even a probability.
The chances for the Democrats seemed much
brighter. The Alliances strength depicting
to an enervating degree the vigOr of the
Republican party, for the first time in
many years the Republican Congressional
delegation is broken, and broken to fTag-
ments Only one Republican escaped the
wreck and that was Funston from the
Second District. The Democrats were sue
cessful in the First. electing Moonlight over
Broderick (R) by 1000 majority. Morrill,
R.), the present incumbent, declined the
nomination in this district The Farmers
Alliance carried the other five districts,
electing Clover over Perkins (R.) in the
over Phillips (R.)in the Fifth. Baker over
McNall in the Sixth, and Simpson over
HUlloNell in the Seventh. Tie Kansas
delegation will stand: Republicans /,
Democrats /, Farmers Alliance 8.
Another surprise lies in the possible de-
feat of the reelection of Senator ingalls,,
whose term expires in 1891. The Farmers
Alliance and Democrats waged bitter CAM
paign against him, and majority of the dis
tricts contained one of their candidates
against the Republican candidates. The re-
suit is the certai n election of 95 Farmers
Alliance and Democratic legislators against
thirty Republicans. Some of the Farmers
Alliance men and Democrats may vote
for ingalls,, but his opponents claim
those newly elected, who oppose him, to-
gether with the opposition hold-overs, will
surely give ninety votes, or a majority OF six
against him. This looks to be the correct
statement of ingalls, situation. but it is lit
Bile to modification.
TOPEKA, Nov. 6.-At midnight the Re-
publican Central Committee conceded the
election Of the entire Farmers Alliance
ticket, with possible exception Of Willets,
the candidate for Governor. The committee
comedies that the opposition to ingalls, in the

THE ARMY.
Recommendations Of Major-General How.
ard in His Annual Report.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 5-Major-GeneraI
Howard, commanding the Division of the
Atlantic. in his annual report, dweIls as
length on the necessity of continued activ-
ity in the matter of sea-coast defenses. He
earnestly hopes that efforts will be con-
tinued to organize three branches of the
army into regiments of twelve troops, bat
teries or companies, offieered by the number
and grade OF officers now authorized for the
cavalry regiment. The present maximum
of 25,0 600 enlisted men results in severe re-
striction, and TO keep the organization up TO
25, 900, the maximum allowed should not be
less than 81, 900.
General Howard says the effect of having
an organized army in 1866, with officers OF
nearly the same age who had already suf-
now working a serious injury to the ser
vice. The number of disabled officers far
exceeds the limit of the retired list. Such
officers as are above GA years of age should.
by legislation. be transferred from the lim-
tied to the unlimited retired list. In the
case of enlisted men, thirty years service is
too long before retirement, and twenty-five
years is suggested.
Until last September the mortality among
Indian prisoners was excessive but 1t now
appears to have been checked. A new vii
lage should be constructed for them in place
of the present temporary shelters. The
idea of making these Indians self-sustaining
day been allowed those who work for the
post, with result of ameliorating their dis
content.
In conclusion, General Howard suggests
some system of school battalions of boys
from II to q years of age, TO be organized
commissioned officers for the army and
militia.
