BLOW TO THE THIRD PARTY.
Crushing Defeat in Kansas - Large Repnl

Crushing Defeat in Kansas - Large Repnb-
IIcan Gains All Over the State.
TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. 4.-The power of the
farmer in Kansas politics is broken--for
the time, at least. The Alliance mes q
crushing defeat at the polls yesterday.
The general result Is best indicated by the
returns from the judicial districts. In only
one was the Alliance candidate successful
that district comprising the counties of
Kinaman. Pratt and Kiowa. where the
farmers elected William BashOre. That
was formerly a stronghold of the Union
Laborites, who joined the farmers when
the latter went into politics. Besides.
there were two Republican candidates in
the field there. which divided the Repub-
lican strength. In the nine districts remain
ing, seven of tho snccessful candidates
are Republicans and two are Democrats
In two of the districts the Republicans and
Democrats combined against the Alliance.
Democrats and republicans alike profess
TO believe that the Peoples party In this
State is out of power, to stay out, and that
the fight next year will be on the old lines
There is something touching IN tho greet
ing of the old party politicians who have
fought each other for years. A crushing
Alliance defeat il o common cause for Joy.
Dispatches received from all parts of the
State indicate Republican successes in
most of tho counties. The Peoples party
was successful in not more than six of the
counties reported. and In all of the State
there are large decreases of the Peoples
vote, while the Republicans made heavy
gains In most of the counties the Demo
Gratis had tickets in the field. End In few
instances they increased then strength
over the vote of last year.

NEW YORK. Nov. 4-When seen at his

result of Tuesdays election as follows:
"Of course. every one has q right to put
his own construction upon the result, and

it seems to me some things ought to be no
longer doubtful. Any man who still thinks
the tariff reform is a settled and obsolete
issue, or that the importance of sound and
safe money is question upon which the
people can be blinded, is either willfnliy

Senate is undoubtedly Democratic

ELECTORAL VOTE OF 1902.



Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Some interesting
figures have been made to-day on the
electoral vote in 1892. as affected by the
elections yesterdsy. If all the States which
had elections yesterday go the same way
next year and the States which did not
have elections go as they did in their last
general election the net result would give
the Democratic candidate for President 243
electors and the Republican candidate l9S
electors. This calculation divides the
electors Of Michigan equally between the
two parties on account of the method in
that State of choosing electors by districts
