Cherokee Sentinel: The eyes of the
nation are upon the new Kansas ALI
ance members of congress. They are
an uncertain quantity in the minds OF
the people. Even the people OF Kan
sas who elected them are not satisfied
in their own minds as to their ability,
or the position they will take on the
questions of the day, or that the policy
on which they were elected will bear
the strain of reason. Kansas has here
tofore been represented by men who
were intellectual giants, and when
they spoke on the questions of the day
they commanded the respect OF their
hearers, and they were among our
foremost Legislators. But the new
men are untried and they have their
regulations to make; to prove wheth-
er they are really statesmen or mere
adventures. 1t is a trying position,
and the future success or failure OF
their party depends much upon their
actions,
