OAK ota. He did nothing there until this
Farmers Alliance movement came up and
then he jumped into the fray on the side of
the farmers and advocated their theories.
He had no idea of being Senator and had
decided to leave the Dakotas and move to
Boston. His household goods were packed
and at the depot when he found that he
had been chosen to the biggest Office in the
gift of his state, that he had the right to be
called Senator Kyle and that his wages for
six years to come would be nearly one hun
dred dollars week, he thereupon decided
to stay and he Is now ct Washington ready
to earn his salary. MIR. Kyle is tall, thin
and angular IN appearance. He looks likaNlr.
Canady, the old Sergeant alarms of the
Senate. He is twenty years younger than
PETER and he has o whiskers at all. Sen
ator PETER prides himself on his whiskers.
Like Sampson his muscle has gone into his
hair and the rest Of his body is tall and thin
in consequence. He has the students stoop
and, as Ingalls, says, he talks with Derpet-
ual cough. Neither he nor Kyle are dan
gerous and they are men Of peace rather
than OF war.
BAD MEN FROM THE SOUTH.
The two fighters among the new Sena-
tors come from the far south and they are
more or less allied to the Alliance party.
Carolina is renegade and that he has gone
back on the Alliance and become Demo-
GRAFT. The Democratic party are counting
on his vote and, whether Democrat or not,
he promises to cut something of figure
here. He has the reputation of being q
fighter in South Carolina and it is said that
he was at several times ready to engage in
duels there, and that he went around with
his pistol in his pocket and fire in his eye.
/ He had one or two shooting scrapes and
after one left the state for time. 1t is
certain that he is no coward and it may be
that there will be some lively fighting in
the Alliance camp if he remains in 1t. Sen
ator Irby had, 1t is said, duel while he
was at Princeton in 1871 but the pistols
were not loaded and no one was hurt.
Senator Chiffon Of Texas comes from the
state of bold, bad men. He is a straight,
| fine looking fellow and wears when at
home great sombrero and during q part
of his career has carried a revolver on his
hip. He is q much stronger man than the
average, and starting life with nothing he
has made reputation as lawyer and q
speaker. He is appointed to the Senate by
his old friend Governor Hogg. The two
were boys together while working at the
printing trade in Tyler and they slept I'M
come governor and he gives his old play
mate the best offer in his power.
SENATOR a1BsoN's APPOINTMENT.
Another curious appointment was that O.
Senator Gibson, of Maryland. Gibson ha
been in Congress for several terms and b,
was about to open campaign as candi
date for the clerkship of the present House
when he received a note from Senator Cor
man asking him to call at his house before
half past nine o'clock one morning. Gibson
is living on his country seat on the eastern
shore of Maryland and this letter of Mr.
Germans was sent to his wife who for
warded it to him here. He had just abou
engaged his rooms for his clerkship contes
when he received it. He at once went t.
Senator German, and German told him tina
Governor jackson intended to appoint hin
to the vacancy in the United States Senate
Shortly after this Governor jackson cam
in. The matter was talked over and Glib
son said he would accept it. He then lef
Senator Germans and shortly after thi
Jackson called upon him at his hotel an
formerly rendered him the appointment
His Office will last for only a few weeks, a
ssthe vacancy which he fills is short one
