at requires a majority of the votes Of
the electoral college to make candidate
president, and if the Peoples party can
get the balance Of power and keep both
the Republicans and Democrats from
having a majority, the election will be
thrown into the house of representatives.
As the present house is Democratic. Grover
Cleveland, of course, would be the man
elected. The vote in the house of repre-
sentatives in case the electoral college
failed to elect would be by states, and not
by representatives in congress. Each state
would have one vote. and the way that
vote would be cast would be determined
by the complexion of the representation.
The state that has twenty representatives
in congress, nine of them Republicans and
eleven of them Democrats, would cast its
vote for the Democratic nominee. AS some
thing like thirty of the forty-four states
are Democratic looked at from this stand
point there could Of course be but one re-
suit. The law provides that in case the
electoral college fail to select, the house
shall ballot on the names of the three men
who received the highest number of votes.
This would prevent the choice of rank
outsider. In the senate, where the vice
president is elected in such an event as |

would be therefore as follows: President,

CONGRESSMAN SPRINGER.

Springer is AT the Palmer house. on his
way TO his summer home AT Traverse Bay.
1.-The result or the Peoples party con-
vention at Omaha may cut considerable
figure in the November election - ssid Mr.
Springer. In many of the states of the
south and west the new party viii have so
strong following that the electoral ticket
may be lost 10 both the Republicans aud
Democrats. In fact, in some OF the states
where the Democrats are in hopeless
minority, they Will not put up an electoral
ticket, but Will put the Peoples party
electors on the regular Democratic ticket,
in the hope that they may thereby prevent
the Republican electors from getting a
majority of the votes cast. Ii this can be
done in enough states there will be no
doubt as TO the result of the election and
as To who will sit in the White House
after March 4th.
"The new Peoples party is not the old
Farmers Alliance alone. 1t Is a coalition

SENATE

WASHINGTON, June 30.-When the SEN
a tie adjourned On Wednesday 1t was with
an arrangement fixed up by unanimous
consent that the bill for the free coinage
OF silver would be voted on at 2 O'Clock p.
m. on Friday: but when the senate ad-
journed today that arran cement had been
entirely broken up. and the prospects for
final action on the bill appeared to be as
remote as ever.
1t was Mr. Mcpherson who wrought the
change in the situation. When the bill
was laid before the senate he repudlated
the unanimous consent OF the day before,
because it had been made in his absence,
and in the absence OF every mem Der of
the finance committee, and because it was
in practical violation of the agreement
made before the Minneapolis convention,
that no vote would be taken on the bill
until after both conventions, which meant.
he contended, until the senators who had
been attending them had returned to
Washington, which they had not all yet
done.
Mr. Morgan denounced Mr.. McPher-
sons unwiliugness to abide by the unani-
nous consent of yesterday as Il violation
OF good faith. but declared that the policy
of delay would not succeed, but that the
senate would pass the bill and send it to
the house for that body to pass, and that
the president would be compelled to sign
it.
A motion to recommit the bill to the
finance committee was pending when the
senate adjourned.
The conference reports on the naval.
District of Columbia and agricultural ap-
preparation bills were agreed to.
In view of the fact, which IS without
precedent, that not single general appro-
priation bill has yet been sent to the presl-
dent, although the fiscal year expires to-
dav, the joint resolution TO continue the
appropriations for the expenses of the gov
ernment for fifteen days from the enc OF
the fiscal year passed by the house was
also passed by the senate and sent to the

FARM HANDS WANTED

KANSAS CITY, June 30.-WIlliam A.
Coates, general agent of the Arkansas
Valley Town and Land company, was in
the city today, having just completed a
tour OF the state of Kansas in the interest
OF his company. He says that the Kansas
farmers are having great trouble in
securing sufficient hands to harvest the
enormous crop of wheat in the state, most
OF which is now ready for cutting There
Is an alarming scarcity of farm hands, and
the farmers are Offering high wages to
secure sufficient help. At all the stations
along the Santa Fe railway the trains are
daily besieged by farmers trying to secure
men to work. They offer from 81 to s. Il
day, with board, wages which have never
been known to prevail in the state before
Last years wheat crop was 81 OJj coo
bushels, and the yield this year will prob
ably exceed that of any previous year in
the history of the state. In the central
and northern portions of the state at least
10000 farm hands can find EMPLOYMENT at
wages ranging from 81 to 50 n day, with
board during the present harvest. The
corn crop, too, promises very large yield.
The acreage Of corn exceeds any previous
year, and the crop will probably exceed
any former yield, providing, of course, 10
general disaster overtake il before harvest
time. Conservative estimates place the
total yield in the neighbOrhood of two
hundred million bushels. ArrSng gements
are being made by the Santa Fe railway to
relieve the desperate situation as regards
the scarcity of farm hands. The road will
make low excursion rates to Kansas,
which, together with the high rate of
wages prevailing, will probably induce
enough men to come to Kansas TO insure
the speedy harvesting of the crops.
