Crawford Might Consent.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-As the days
go by the loss which Kansas has lust
sustained grows more apparent. Mr..
Justice Brewer says it is ''irretrievable.'
Other senators do nots hesitate to say
that no man in the body was SO contin-
lusly doing for the people of state.
There is no ordinary interest felt ere in
the question of succession. The govern
ment departments are full of Kansans
whose Influence" was Senator Plumb's.
The departments are full Of Kansas
business which Senator Plumb was push
ing. Before the congress are manifold
would have cared for. The man ap-
capacity and willingness. Among the
Kansans i: Washington there is a good
deal of talk about Ex-Governor Samuel
j. Crawford. Governor Crawford came
to Washington. and spent some years
other claims of Kansas. He was very
successful, and recovered for the state
Upwards of 50, 900, 900. Governor Craw-
ford has been appealed to by friend to
to allow them to urge his name upon
Governor Humphrey, but he declinedt to
considered as a candidate. His plans
are laid for travel and rest, The Kan
Sans here belieye that if asked in the in
terest of the state to take this vacancy
until the Legislature meets a year hence
Governor Crawford would lay aside his
own plans and devote himself to carry
ing out Senator Plumb's work. But
they say he would not undertake more
than this. He would not re-enter poll
tics and be a candidate for election by
the legislature. IL he did accept the an
pointment, it would be only with the
understanding that he would give the
next twelve months to the protection Of
the states and the peoples interest, and
at the end of that time SOME one else
should be chosen to fill the rest
Of Senator Plumb's term.
