lands cabinet the President.elect sent
the following note: $50 far as | know
not single word of truth in the stuff"
Mr. Cleveland had written the word
"aboye," hut scratched it out and sub
stituted "stuif" as more probably emA
phasizing his denial.

KANSAS DEMOCRATS TO FIGHT.
TOPEKA, KAN, Dec. 15.-The move
ment among the "stalwart" Democrats
to elect United States senator is
rapidly taking shape. The Democratic
state leaders have poured into town for
the meeting of the Democratic state CEN
trail committee this afternoon.
There are now five Democrats in the
field. Two of them, John Martin and
W. G. Jones, are Fusionists, and hope to
effect combination Of the Democrats
and Fusionists. The remaining three
are stalwart Democrats. They are
Bailey Waggener of Atchison, A. A.
Harris of Fort Scott, and Ed. Carroll of
Leavenworth.
The Republicans will meet in caucus
one week before the legislature con-
venes. A Republican will be nominated
for senator, and he will be voted for
until such time as some Democrat who
took no part in the Fusion movement
gets enough opposition votes to make
his election possible with Republican
assistance Then the Republican pro-
gramme is to abandon the Republican
candidate and elect the Democrat.
