Very Few Flies on Kansas.

from INC SdIIna hepuDIICdh.
The Chicago Inter Ocean says that
while there are no flies on Kansas now,
yet she will have to suffer and be hu-
INFLATED in congress for sometime to
come. This, we do not believe. Every
one knows that it was not Kansas fault.
These men will undoubtedly disgrace
and humilate themselves, but Kansas is
too well known and has been too well
represented in the past to be injured by
such pigmies. 1t is our misfortune and
we will overcome it as we have other

Advocate, Senator PETER. Congressman
Simpson, State Secretary French, w. II.
Utley, Frank McGrath and others will
attend the grand council of the Alliance,
which meets at India apolis on the 18th.
A well informed Alliance man, speaking
of this meeting, today said: Neither
Doster nor Weaver, of Iowa, can be
elected to succeed Polk. They are both
lawyers, and could not belong to the Al

the Citizens Alliance, which has
no representa- on at the meeting.
Polk Is very popular and will probably
