A LACK OF LEADERS.
One OF the Fatal Defects of the Third PartJ
Movement.

One OF the Fatal Defects of the Third Party
Movement.
One of the fatal defects of the third
party movement, which has collapsed
in Kansas, was the want of capable
leaders. While there were some mod
erately shrewd men among the orators
and managers, there was not really
brainy leader in the whole group.
From Polk and PETER down there was
not single person identified with the
new party that possessed the first ele-
ments of craftsmanship. The most
able men the alliance could muster
were sent to this state to speak, and
yet none of them were a match for our
ordinary every day republican takers
Senator PETER is perhaps as able a de-
batter as the third party can boast, and
yet he was literally fayed by poll
garded as specially strong. Suppose
the ablest republican orators of the
nation had been brought here to meet
these alliance logicians-such men. for
instance, as Blaine, Col Ingersoll,
Sherman, Mckinley, Reed? Where
would PETER, Simpson, Polk and VIII.
Its have appeared in contrast?
In order to succeed, political move
ment must have men of intellect and
reputation at the van--men in whose
wisdom and guidance the people have
confidence. You cannot take man of
a village dry goods box and by any sort
of magic suddenly transform him into
a great and experienced statesman
The thing is a sheer impossibility.
Men may sometimes lay down the plow
to lead their countrymen in battle;
but men totally without experience in
public affairs, who have managed their
own private business with difficulty
and indifferent success, cannot in a
year or in half a dozen years become
national statesmen and financiers. It
is as impossible as to take bank clerk
and make him a competent locomotive
engineer ina week.
The force of this truth, when it finally
dawned upon the average farmer, did
much toward convincing him of the alb
surdity and hopelessness of the new
party movement A party, like loco
motive, to run successfully must have
not only carefully adjusted machinery,
constructed by skilled hands, but must
be managed by competent and expert
enced engineers. The alliance party
was run by amateurs-raw men seek
ing to experiment upon this great gov
eminent with their crude theories, and
its wreck was only a matter-of-course
result that ought naturally to have been
overwhelmingly Republican.

indignant for utterance. Then, turning
the full glare of his piercing black eyes,
which fairly snapped beneath their

tones:

tell me that you think for a ruoment

The widow was spared an explana-
ton, for at that instant the door opened
and Mrs. Wilkins entered bearing in
her arms the child, whom it seemed as
though fortune had sent at this critical
moment to plead her own claim to SYM
patty and protection. She was dressed
for bed, and looked like some sweet
vision of innocence in her muslin
mother-hubbard with EN- embroidered yoke.

she kissed them each good night; and
