THEIR CHANCES SLIM.
Senator-elect PETER and the FIVE Farmer
Alliance members-elect of the House from
Kansas have been trying to fasteu their
clamps on the Federal patronage in their
State, but so far thew have had practically
ltflr OF no recognition from the Admins
tra'i7n. and the chances are that they will
lot heallowed 20 have anything whatever
o. lo with the appointments IN Kan
So. The President Is said TO take the
Lr.1rd that when the Alliance mon set up
tickets Of their own IN Kansas, they not
only went outside % the Republican party,
ut jy forming combinations with Demo-
,-.t- and Independents they played the
mischief with the grand old party in
t.a STATE. and so upset things that IL IS eX-
ever again be able 90 get control Of the
I-Elslature as long as the Alliance insists
On taking a hand IN politics
HOW HARRISON REGARDS II,
Tooy have deprived the grand old
party" nos only Of Que senatOrship. but
thew have senr an almost solid anti-kepub-
l-1u delegation 10 the lower branch of
Congress. The President believes that
most Of the Alliance members Of the next
House Will either act with the Democrats
or else Will SO often vote against the policy
ot the Republicans that he Is shy about
giving them anything III the shape of pa
trouase for fear that the Alliance Will lie
S-Iii further strengthened in Kansas.
Without patronage he has an idea that they
vii not be able 20 hold together, ana in
l~tZ when another Congress Is 10 be
elected, 81 we'll as President and Vice
President. II is very important for the Re-
Tuol.cans 70 keep Kansas IN line.
NoFAIrH IN TaE DAKOTA SENATOR.
The President is also somewhat Of the
UpiHon that II Will not do 20 put any faith
~ Ssuatur-elect Kyle, of South Dakota,
lua-nuch az he has announced that he
VII probably take his seat on the Demo
cratic side Of the Senate chamber, and IN
view Of bis we'll known record in favor of
the free coinage OF silver and OF a low
t.rlf. II Is said that Mr. Kyle has not
t.t.l AlAhiNg any 0tiAALAS lNA siiOllNs hlAN.
derry Simpson has not worried himself
about this question 20 any great extent
either but the other kausans are reported
4 bee somewhat angry because they dis
covered DO indications that they are TO
control the appointments intbe.r districts.
A NICE PICNIC.
Senator Plumb and the two Republican
members from Kansas IN the next House
Will hgve O nice picnic in dealing out the
office. and as Harrison Will do his utmost
q secure denomination, and as Kansas
will be- q State that viii need close looking
after in 1892, the Offices viii be gwen 10
persons in that State whenever there IS
chance % put IN a man.
