When the Slayer of Two Tails
is Given Up.

TOPEKA, Kas., Jan. 26.-The Alliance
forces will hold their caucus tonight for
the purpose of naming some one from their
number who can harmonic the discordant
elements of their party. If such one is
found the first engagement will occur
tuesday. ingalls, will be then elected by
the senate, there being in that body thirty
eight ingalls, men, one Democrat and one
Alliance man. If the Alliance men stick to
their caucus man. they will have SO votes
IL the house to "A Republican and s Demo
cratic ballots. Then on Wednesday will
come joint session when all will depend
upon the ability of the Alliance to keep
their forces together. If they succeed in
this, the session may end before nightfall.
Inc ingalls, mer are relying on the old
soldier element in the Alliance throwing
themselves on the side of ingalls, when he
Snail march into the house from the senate
chamber. Some of the knowing ones as
sure you that no caucus action on earth
can prevent this. One of these prophe IS
says: Tomorrow petitions will be read
In the house from every Grand Army post
In Kansas asking for the reelection of In
gals. These petitions will not come from
the posts themselves, but from leading

| The Ingalls, organization is in the hands
OF tive OF the shrewdest men that ever
went into a contest. Livingston, president

gals. He shows letters, said to be from
southern alliance men, in which they state
that when the Alliance comes into power
they Will cut off the pensions of the sol

mentarily at least.
Inc Alliance is preserving the strictest
secrecy, holding their meetings in dark
rooms, and II is difficult to get anything out
OF them unless you have the Alliance birth
mark, The Alliance grip and password.
FROM appearances it would seem Willetts
is the most promising one among their nun
Der Tor the senatorship. but they will not
| talk about him. Harris, of Leayenworth
is doubtless the ablest man in the Alliance
and represents every principle of the COM
blnatlon, but he is an ex-conIederate and il
is doubtful If the large soldier contingent
would support him for that reason. Con-
gresham Simpson is ruled out from the
contest by the Alliance resolution that nc
member-elecG to Congress shall be eligible
to the United States Senate.
Ingalls, forces seem more confident than
ever to night They are all working like
| beavers and the city is full of Grand Army
men all OF whom seem to be for Ingalls,
