THERE is talk Of contesting
Reyille's election as senator for this
district. The principal ground OF
contest will be on account OF
Reville's name being printed on the
democratic tickets in Ellis county
This was authorized by the county
democratic central committee where.
by he became the democratic candi.
date the same as though he had
received the nomination in the
regular way.

So far as the republican party
of Kansas is concerned it is wholly
immaterial whether the alliance and
democrats combine on the electoral
ticket. The vote for attorney gen.
eral in 1890 shows this. Attorney
General Ives received the full vote
of the two parties. And, notwith-
standing it was an off year, and
outside of the alliance there was no
particular enthusiasm, the vote
shows that change of less than
$4,000 would mean republican vic
tory in 1892. In 1890 the alliance
was enthusiastic. Their organiza-
ton was almost perfect and they
voted straight-as they were told.
The alliance enthusiasm has sub
sided. To a certain extent their
organization is demoralized and in
many localities they cannot hold a
meeting. These are sure signs OF
disintegration. They have already
fallen off enough in membership to
more than wipe out their combined
majority Of year ago. According
to McGrath's statement, and he
ought to know, the republicans
would now have a larger majority
over the combined opposition than
the majority for attorney general
year ago. The late election con-
firms McGrath's statement and our
theory. The coming year will wit
ness a greater falling off in the ALI
ance vote than in the past. Next
year we elect president. Thous-
ands of so-called independent voters
who reserve the right, and exercise
it too, to vote as they please upon
local issues, but who claim to be re-
publicans, vii! all vote for republi-
can electors. This vote alone will
materially increase the republican
majority on the national ticket and
of course will cause a corresponding
decrease in the opposition. We dc
not consider that the issue is at all
doubtful in Kansas, neither can it
be made so, by any trade or combina-
ton that can be effected. We will
not have $4,000 majority, but 10000
will be no surprise. Theistorm has
passed, the clouds have cleared away
and, although sorely chastened fol
a time, the future success Of repub.
lican principles and Of the republi.
can party in Kansas is brighter thar
ever before, for never again, or al
least not within the life Of those
who are now voters, will the ALI
ance folly be repeated. Right vii
ultimately prevail and the principles
of the republican party are right to-
day as they were in 1861.

a PoKER-pLAYINo CAT.
Tho Wonderful Intelligence of n Gaua-
blcr's Feline Pot,

Tho Wonderful Intelligence OF n GAM
blcr's Feline Pct
In o high-toned gaming-house at
Wichita, Kan, q correspondent of the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat was lately
introduced to a sagacious cat that for
the past few years has proved q verita-
BILE bonanza to his master. The animal
belongs to professional gambler
known from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and goes by the euphonious name of
Pete
For centuries monkeys have made
not only their own living but have fur
nished many meal and countless
nights of good lodging, to say nothing
about the incidentals, for the swarthy
sons of sunny Dagoland, but it has
hardly been suspected that a cat could
take the place Of the monkey.
Pete plays cards, or Mt least takes
such part in u poker game as entities
him to rake off. When he was young,
obscure and waif tho gambler, of
whom he is now the constant compan-
ion, and who would as soon be without
his wad as without his talisman-for as
such he regards his pet-found him in
a gutter in San Francisco and adopted
him That was eight years ago.
The supcrstitious master, like such
distinguished poker players as the King
OF the Sandwich Islands, had an abid-
ing faith in the efficacy of stroking a
cats tail as means of changing luck,
and for this purpose Pete was con-
slant visitor to the gambling houses
frequented by the sport. Early in his
business career Pete learned what some
men never have sense enough to under
stand, and that Is, that it pays to be
both obliging and pleasant, and he
cheers many weary soul by the anus
ing way he has of strengthening up the
Thrown down" hands.
He invariably squats on the corner of
the table, and when it comes to q "show
down" and tho chips are raked in, Pete
then commences to get in his work for
himself and his master. He extends his
tail to the loser, who will, if he is q
genuine gambler, invariably take hold
of it and shake it. At the conclusion of
this ceremony Pete reaches r out his
paw, picks out n red chip if a white one
is lot handy, starts to the bank and
gets it cashcd and then returns to his
master with the tin"
BY this Napoleonic method of finan-
ciering Pete usually manages to rake
in from one dollar to thrce dollars n
night, and he has enough accumula-
tions to keep him in Incidence and
luxury during the rest Of his natural
life. While not dcpraved, Pete is fond
of his beer and generally disposcs
of couple Of glasses during q nights
session.

A Pathetic Story.

81 have heard and read many pa
6hctic stories," said Senator Hoar to q
Washington Star reporter recently,
"but none of them ever awoke so much
sad sympathy as one which Prof.
Gallaudet related the other day. The
professor has n favorite pupil, little
deaf mute boy who is exceptionally
bright. Mr.. Gallaudct asked him if he
knew the story of George Washington
and tho cherry tree. With his nimble
fingers the little one said he did, and
then he proceeded to repeat it Tho
noiseless gesticulations continued until
the boy had informed the professor Of
the elder Washington's discovery of the
mutilated tree and Of his quest for the
mutilator. When Georges father
asked him who hacked his favorite
cherry tree signaled tho voiceless
child, George put his Ratchet in his left
hand Stop interrupted the pro-
fessor. where do you get your author
ity for saying he took the hatchct in his
left hand2' Why responded the boy,
who knew nothing of speech, he needed
his right hand to tell his father that he
cut the tree. ~
