TOPEKA, Ran, Feb. 2.-It is said that
the Alliance leaders are already beginning
to talk of Senator-eect Pieifer as the A.
lance or third party candidate for Presl.
dent in 1892.
Speaker pro tenn. Marchatt remarked
that such thing would not be at all ont
of the question.
Said he: "Kansas is going to be a lead
er in the Alliance movement. The cleo
ton of a United States Senator and FIVE
Congressman before the party is a year
old is a greater victory than was ever
achieved by a new party in any State
ut pnts Kansas in front in this great
movement and this State may be called
upon to furnish presidential candidate.
If Kansas names the leader In 1892, it IS
probable that it would be the new United
States Senator.

-Four Nails More ia rs Coffin.
Mr. Aldrch, 10 ga iatsrgiov at PsoYi-
dence, is quoted as say ing chat the cleo
tions bill is not likely to come mp again
that so long as eight Republican Senators
continue to occupy Che position they DO
there is nothing to hinder both houses
from going on with their regular BUSH
ness for the rest OF the session.
This is good news, and, conins from so
authoritative a source as the distinguish
ed originator Of the cloture resolution, 10
may be considered entirely reliable.
But The Post not only has tho pleasure
Of seeing Mr. Alduch's eight Senators,
but Of going the Rhode Island statesman
four better. It may now be stated, upon
authority equally as satisfactory ard con-
clusiye as his, that were it possible to put
the force bill upon its passage in the SEN
ateit would now be autagonr7cd by four
recruits from the Republican siie of the
chamber who have hitherto been counted
as its supporters, and twelve instead OF
eight Republican nails would be driven
in its coffin.
Mr. AldrIch managed his case with a
good deal cf adroitness and ability--with
a zeal worthy Of better cause-but his
galyanic battery wasn't powerful enough.
The bill was moribuud when he took hold
OF it, 1t now sleeps the sleep that knows
no waking. Washington Post.

Cleveland and Tammany.
TIE CHASM BETWEEN THE TWO SAID TO
HAVE BEEN BRIDGED OVER.
Washington Post

The Cleveland Democrats In Washing
ton are iubilaut over the fact that the ex.
Pr sident aud Gov. Hill, who hal not
previously met for two years, have come
together at last with all the outward sem
blance. at least, of friendship. Nobody In
WASHINGTON believes that the dinner In
New York last Saturday night, when the
two great rival candidates met and smiled
pleasantly at each other, was a merely
impromptu affair." arranged without fore
thought or without a purpose J. Is not
supposed that tho two men were decoyod
into each others presence simply 90 obllge
q mutual friend and cause tle politicians
to vaguely speculate.
Asa matter of fact according TO The
view Of Cleveland's friends here, he din
ner means that Cleveland's nomination
for The Presidency at the next national
Democratic convention is now certainty
They say that Hill accepted the United
States Seuatorship at the suggestion, If
not the dictati0n of Tammany Hal, and
that. on the other hand, Cleveland has
gwen TammaDy the assurance that II
elected President that organization shall
name the men 70 fiji the biz Federal
Offices in New York city. Tammary
would have made the same combination
with Fill and given him their support il
lie conld have shown the same possibility
of being nominated as Cleveland does TO-
day. tt was fonnd, however that the
Democrats OF the country did NOT mani
fest the same enthusiasm for iiill as they
did for Clorcland, and Tammany there
fore Joined bands with the latter. The
New York Democrats feared that to con-
tinue the frud between Cleveland aud
Hill might result IN New York passing
entirely out Of the Democratic column
and certainly would destroy the weight
which New York now has In Democratic
courcils. Harmony. therefore, was brought
about as matter of selt-prOtection.-
The result, if the politicians here are
correct, will be a solid New York delega-
ton for Cleveland, and Gov. Hill will
stay in the Senate until 1855.
1t is also significant that Democrats
who arc anxious for an extra session, in
order that the silver question may be
speed ly settled, are Cleveland men and
have been in conference with the Demo
cratic leaders in New York.
