NTELLIGENCE OF KANSAS REPUBLICANs.

ports political intelligence from some Of
the distinguished Republican statesmen.
He thus gives the utterenses Of Mr..
George r.. Peck, saying, "lIe is known To
every two and iour-iooted beast In Kan

The Senate is Republican and will not lot

THE GOVERNORS SECRETARY, W. W. AD-
MIRE.
"rhls young man Of the unAlnching
sort, said:
The old soldiers Of the Union seem dead
TO the memories of the war. Those who
are in the Alliance, pensioners, some Of
them, fraternize with the rebel soldiers and
say the war, the north are dead issues. But
the bigotry Of the Alliance on some other
things is foreboding. Down here at EN-
poria, where Senator Plumb lives, they re-
fuse 10 take the Topeka Capital (newspaper)
from the mails, and IL stood stacked up
shoulder high, while they received and de-
voured the three or four anarchistio sheets,
which make war on property, law and
patriotism.
THE HIGHLY LEARNED UTTERANCEs OF
THE GOVERNOR.
The intelligent (H) chief executive
thus delivers himself:
We have 100000 veteran soldiers in Kan
sas, and yet large portion of them have
joined secret organization Contrived in
Texas, Tennessee and other southern states,
and show no signs Of weakening; but, on
the contrary, are getting ready TO make
thoroughly organized campaign in Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa and Ohio. The state Of Kan
sas has an enormous Illinois element in IL.
What has taken place here might be re-
peated further east. The dry rot has struck
agriculture everywhere. The reasons for
the decline Of the farmers lie partly in
change Of habits which accompanied the
war, but low prices, high freights, short
crops operate everywhere. In my town Of
near 1000 people in Ohio there was not
single piano, l think, when I went TO the
war. Now you will fnd pianos In the sod
houses Of northwestern Kansas, where the
family lives in peat or turf houses like the
Irishman's hut. Pianos and decorative pic
lures are on the wall. You praise their re-
fnement, but feel the iDConsistence. In
deed, Kansas has very merourial popula-
