tention; very commendable trait in
a public man. His theory is that a
senator is servant of the people, and
that the people have right to demand
consideration at his hands.
Senator Marion Butler, of North Car
olina, a populist who was elected by
combination of populists and repub-
licans last year, is young man who
has not yet taken his seat in the SEN
ate. l have never yet met with him,
and cannot now describe him. 1t is
currently reported that he will take
his seat on the republican side of the
senate chamber, and cooperate with that
political party on all matters not di,
rectly in conflict with the principles
of the populist party. He is reputed
to be man of varied intellectual ac-
quirements, strong debater, and a
man with the courage of his convictions,
Senator James Henderson Kyle, OF
South Dakota, is populist, and one
OF the youngest men ever elected to the
senate from any state. He was only 81
years of age when elected as an indie,
pendent, after a contest in the South
Dakota legislature lasting 81 days
His predecessor, Senator Moody, was
a man of splendid ability, who has
done much for his state, and who had
been largely instrumental in securing
statehood for the territory of Dakota;
but Senator Moody had made some
very bitter and determined enemies
in his own party, and failed of rcelec-
ton. Senator Kyle studied law, but
changed his mind and left that pro-
fession. He studied theology and was
graduated by the Western Theological
seminary at Allegheny, Pa, and entered
the ministry as Congregational preach.
er. He was in charge of a church al
Aberdeen, S. d., and deemed it his duty
to espouse the cause of the new polite.
al party. He made several speeches
during the campaign of 1890, and at
tracted such attention that his selec
tion to succeed Senator Moody was the
natural consequence, although he had
no political aspirations of that nature
when he went upon the hustings. He
is tall man, well proportioned, with q
kindly face and gentle manner 1 take
pleasure in counting him among my
personal friends.
Senator John p. Jones, of Nevada,
has been a member of the senate since
March 4, 1873, and has always been a
republican until within the past two
years. His state is practically unani-
nous in its advocacy of the principles
of populism, and Senator Jones has be-
come member OF that party, in order,
as he says, that he may properly repre-
sent the wishes of the people whom lie
has served so long.
Senator William Morris Stewart, OF
Nevada, is an out-and-out populist, and
is always fighting for free silver. His
voice is constantly heard in champion
ship of that cause, and he severely
scores both of the old political parties
He is now editing paper published en-
tirely in the interest of free silver. He
is 6S years of age, but as rugged as a
man of 30. His energy is bound
less, and his sincerity unquestioned. He
was poor boy and became a miner
with pick and shovel. When Nevada
was admitted to the union in 1868 he
was elected to the senate, and with one
intermission has been continuously a
member of the senate. He has always
been republican, and retains his seat
on the republican side of the senate
But two years ago he became popu'
list, and has left the republican party
forever, although he still entertains a
warm liking for his old personal friends
in that party. SAITH d. Fry.
