A CHANGE IN KANSAS
Republican Chances Damaged by Recent
Events.
Senator Martins Influence ENerted In
Favor of Lewelling - Democratic
Votes to De Given to POpulists.
of The Evening Star.


TOPEKA. Kan, October "a, 1894.
Within the past ten days very marked
change has taken place in the Kansas pollt-
teal situation October came in with bright
nrcspects and encouraging indications Tor
the republicans Sentiment and enthusiasm
were with that party. This condition con-
tinued until the goth, when high-wateF
mark was reached, and since that time IN.
nopulists have been rapidly gaining, bu,
these gains are mostly from the demo
Gratis who begin to realize that there is
no longer a democratic party in this state.
The thing which checked the republican
enthusiasm was the declaration by Senator
Martin that the party must be beaten In
state legislature ana congressional as
tricts. He defended the present state ad-
ministration against the charges of Doodle
and corruption, made by republicans, ana
declared that Governor Lewelling and his
associate state officers are pure men ;, ms ~
position of Senator Martin was notice to
the 1000 democratic postmasters and their
assistants that the only way the republican
party could be beaten was to vote Tor the
ropulist candidates. 1t has had the erect
intended and today every federal official
in Kansas who owes his appointment to
Senator Martin is outspoken for lowering
and the populist ticket: III VIII take 2,ooo
votes from the stalwart democratic ticket,
headed by David Overmyer for governor,
and add that number to Lewellng: 1t may
also carry many hoaterS over VINO would
have voted the republican ticket because
of the belief that it would win.
The last week of the campaign will be
contested with increased vigor by both
parties Martins stand has shattered the
democratic forces, and 1t is believed that
the state ticket will not receive over 10000.
The republicans have relied upon the demo-
cratic vote for victory. They have figured
that they could elect their state ticket If
the democrats polled 10000 for David Over
myer for governor. But since Senator Mar
tin Ex-Governor Click and other leading
democrats have deserted the stalwarts and
declared for Lewelling it surrounds the
entire situation in doubt, and 1t is probable
that neither party will have to exceed 5000
majority.
Eject on Congressional Elections.
This change will have a marked effect on
the congressional elections also, and Is al
most certain to give the legislature to the
populists. 1t is hardly possible, as things
now appear for the republicans to elect
more than four Of the eight Congressman.
To do this they will have to carry the state,
because one Congressman is elected at large.
In the first district, where Henry Solomon

crat, withdraws in favor of Willard, popu-
list-a deal which Is now or, with even
chances of contamination. Reports from
the third district show remarkable changes
toward the populist candidate, Rev. j. u.

waite and Tom Johnson are doomed Gov
Mckinley carried Mr.. Outhwaite's district
by something over GOO, and Mr.. Johnson's
by nearly 5000. To oppose Mr.. Cultivate
the republicans have nominated Mr.. D. X.
Watson, who served several terms as at
torney general Of the state and is one of
the most popular men in Ohio. 1t is gen.
orally claimed that he is personally more
popular than the governor, and will run a
stronger race in the district A COOL deal Of
dissatisfaction has been manifested toward
MIR. Cultivate by his own party, i'm addi-
ton to the general dissatisfaction that pre-
walls. The republicans claim that there are
many things which will operate against the
democratic candidate this year, and in
favor Of Mr.. Watson.
Tom Johnson's District.
Tom Johnson Is pronounced free trader
but the people of his district do not incline
to his peculiar views. Mr.. Mckinley car
rled his district by. 6,OOO, and there are
good reasons for believing that the changes
made last fall hold yet as against Mr.
Johnson. The republican candidate, Mr.
Theodore Il. Burton, is a believer in pro-
lection, and the battle is being fought out
on that line. The effort of Chairman Thur
man to inject free silver as an issue, to
the setting aside of the tariff, has not met
with favor in any part Of the state, and es-
pecially in the district of Mr.. Johnson In
that district the depression in business AMI
the long days of enforced idleress are the
prominent features in the campaign. the
party in power getting the blame, as is al
ways the case. Hungry people do not stop
to reason very long.
The same thing operates, but not to so
great an extent, in the third district, and it
is very doubtful if the republicans can sue
coed in defeating Mr. Sorg. The republi-
cans assert that they will hold their own
in the ten districts now controlled by them
and VIII add at least six to their delega-
ton, and possibly eight.

CONGRESSMAN GEARY.
some Comments on Him by His Home
Paper.
[From the Eureka Nerve.

From the Eureka Nerve.1
The remark attributed to Congressman
Geary, which has been wired across the
continent, that "our Chambers of Com
merce out West play penny ante and talk
peanut politics." may or may not have
been made. Mr.. Geary was given charge
of the North Bridge bill, which certain
parties wished to have constructed to
connect New Jersey with Manhattan
Island. The New York Chamber OF Com
merce opposed the bridge unless a single
span was used, so as to allow of uninter-
rupted commerce. This, it is alleged,
was the occasion of Mr.. Geary's slurring
remark. If the remark was made, it
illustrates the true caliber of the man.
He was made hero Of by the Chamber
of Commerce here; his portrait has the
place of honor in the hall; he was thanked
by resolution, banQueted, toasted and
doomed" to a much greater extent than
Senator FELTON,, who did equally efficient
that be has continued high regard for
having honored him above his merits"
Mr.. Geary is quoted as saying that the
organization plays penny ante and talks
peanut politics." The Geary Club, we
believe, did very unwisely, injudiciously
and clandestinely hold several committee
meetings in the hall of the chamber to
talk over the political situation and de-
wise ways in which to insure Mr.. Geary's
reelection, and this may have so con-
taminated the chamber that we are not
disposed to contradict Mr.. GearY's charge
as to the peanut politics"

John 7. Kelly, the well-known Irish
comedian in the farce comedy, "McFee
of Dublin" had a good house at the
Metropolitan Theater last night. He has
surrounded himself with very capable
people, especially is Miss Adelaide Ran
dali clever actress and singer with a
good voice under excellent control. The
piece hinges upon the laughable adven-
ture of an Irish butler who, in his mas
ter's absence, assumes his place and title
and relinquishes it with regret when the
owner appears; but it happens that the
latter desires to remain incOgnito, and so
seconds his servants scheme for awhile.
The story is very slender, the thing
ridiculously absurd all around, and full of
the most absurd and impossible situa-
tions. But what is farce comedy for, If
not to be incomprehensibly ridiculous
and foolish? The people in the troupe are
very comely as to the women and merry
as TO the men, and all lively lot full of
mirth and music, and among them are
several clever character specialists. Kelly,
who has often, been here. is, as of old, the
same broad, unctious, rollicking Irish
man. If he would not attempt to sing;
if he would only rasp down that dialect
just little, so as to reduce the effort
necessary to understand him; if he would
let his troupe have more of chance and
give himself less prominence, the play
would show him to better advantage and
greatly more please. 1t is full of fun,
keeps the audience in a merry vein, and
last night received generous applause.
The same piece tonight, and for the last
time. There will be no cutting OF 1t; 1t
will given in full, as the night train is to
be held sufficiently to enable the troupe
to leave by it easily.

James O'Neill, who is great favorite
here, and played the longest engagement
in Sacramento that he ever had in Cali
farnia, is to reappear here March 10Th
and 10th at the Metropolitan Theater
Mr.. O'Neill is a greatly better actor now
than when he won his first laurels in
Sacramento, years ago. But let him give
us something else out of his rich store Of
good things, than "Monte Cristo." He
has given it here several times. Grismer
has played it here four or five times, and
a lesser actor than either ran it for
week since then. "Virginius" is a new
venture on the part of Mr.. O'Neill, and he
has succeeded in it, but Warde, McCul-
lough and others, have played it here
While it, like all standard works, is al
ways welcome, still Mr.. O'Neill can and
should give the public something with
which it is not quite so familiar. to
demonstrate his versatility and dramatic
capacity.
