lance man, so he can carry the party down
with him. | Just received letter from
Farwell at Osborn, and he says
that their representative does not
like the alliance candidate and would
vote for some good republican but not for
Ingalls,. FarwelI wants to know if |
want his vote He thinks it can be had.
Saw Senator Berry, of Marshall, here
yesterday; he is positively opposed to
Ingalls, but will vote for him if there is
no other republican. Judge Perkins
asked me to talk to him in his perkins }
interests, and | did so. | told
him to talk to Wilson. of Hays City, as |
thought be felt as Berry did. | shall write
Wilson tonight and ask him what he
thinks about the possibility of my cleo
ton. l have no money to spend in
the fight If | succeed could
and would put up $780, but it is difiult
to use it that way; yet you may have
some friends who would be willing to
take such a scheme. Now
will leave the whole matter with you and
Wilson and abide by the result, with
content. Unless ingalls,
gets the same allowance of
votes he will go in with 60, who
will vote for him reasonable number of
times, but as soon as tkeir instructions
are completed they will leave him. Some
| tlliance candidates may expect to get
some republican votes. When they leave
Ingalls, that would keep all OF them in the
field. Codding thought he could get re-
publican vote when Ingalls, was
out of the way. Of course the alliance
caucus would name the man and thus
settle it. This letter came to McGrath s
office with others, and was opened by his
confidential clerk, who turned it over to
Chairman Chase. of the alliance legisla-
tive committee. Copies were made. and
the original was turned over to
McGrath. The alliance leader then asked
McGrath to give the letter to the public
and clear himself of suspicion which
might attach to the proposition contained
in it. He refused to give the letter to the
chairman for publicity, knowing moth
ing Of the copies having been
made. Chase then turned over
his copy of the letter to the
editor of the Advocate. Accompanying
the publication is a note by the editor, Dr.
McLallin, saying: 1--WE regret the posi-
ton in which the publication places the
president of the state alliance and the
member of the executive board (Codding).
We leave then. to make such personal ex
planotion as they may have to make.
The schemes that are unfolded
in this interesting document are
of some consideration at this time
| We expect this publication to lead to other
developments which we shall give to our
readers as the plot unfoldS. y
McGrath tonight said the alliance Off
GERS were at liberty to inspect all his let
tiers; he could not prevent the people from
writing him; further he would not talk.

BERLIN, Jan. 10.-The recihstag resum-
ed its sitting yesterday, but Legislation in
the state is in suspense owing to d continu-
ance of the conflict between the conserva-
tive majority and the government. the
communal reform bill is still in the hands
OF a committee The chancellor ap-
pealed to their sentiment o. fidelity to the
throne and the promised concession
in favor OF the agricultural interests of the
country In other government measures in
return for the acquisence in local reforms.
He warned them that persistent opposi-
ton would create serious difficulties for
the monarchy In SPITE of this, however.
| there are no apparent signs of compromise
yet.
A number of members of the old Cartel
party are endeavoring to arrange the for
nation of a Bismarck group in the
Reichstag or Landtag. They asked Bis
marcks formal sanction, in reply he sent
word that he would not prevent the men,
bers from following his known policy, or
from using the authority of his name
so long as they upheld his opinions. This
qualified sanction is interpreted as mean
ing that he will not seek at present pub
licly to lead the party, although he
would willingly direct their parliamentary
operations. The liberal organs generally
see in this an early dissolution of parlia-
ment.
! Prof yirchow's Opinion.
Under the Influence of the unfavorabl9
opinion of Prof. Virchow and other promi-
nent physicians regarding the Koch
remedy, the government has come to a
pause over the proposed bill making the
lymph the property of the state. Minister
Van GGssler has postponed the introduce
ton of che bill, and this leads to
rumors of the ministry's desire to recon,
slider the arrangement made with Koch
The Klein-Journal says it is doubtful il
the ministery will now adhere to the
agreement. The Koch circle on the other
; hand, states that the relations between
Koch aud Minister Won Gossler is I'm,
: changed and that the introduction of the
bill is delayed because the apparatus fol
the state production of the lymph is still
: incomplete.
The court talks turn upon the emper
or's remarks to the high dienataries Of
the court concerning Bismarck. The
emperor said, it is desirable that he bt
made to understand that his time fol-
politics has passed; he ought not to at
tempt to play any role especially
that of opposition. Every body
knowing him intimately see that he
does not see this The emperor's word:
referred directly to the encouragement be-
ing given by Bismarck to the conservative
!. opposition. The latest interview accorded
to Bismarck which was given to Journals
Max Bruer exhibits him as absorbed IL
the enjoyment of domestic life. On thu
subject of France, Bismark's most
incisive utterance was as follows: st i
impossible to exterminate the French
Germany will never wage merely prophi
