His Views on OkIahOma's Admission, Re-
publican Success, Ingalls, and Silver.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-s'I am not in
clined to believe that congress will admit
Oklahoma into the union as state until
the land occupied by the five civilized
tribes is joined to if, and can come Into the
union as a part of the state" said Rep
resentative-eI elect kirkpatrick of Kansas.
"If law were passed making it pos
sible for the Indians to withdraw from
the tribes l think there would be rush
among the Indians to take advantage of
this opportunity. Seeing that the oppor-
tunity was at hand for other Indians to
withdraw from the tribes and to receive
a portion of the land and of the funds
held by the government, in several ty.
each Indian would fear that if he delay
ed accepting the offer the best land
would be taken up and he Wonld be the
loser.
81 have no doubt we will carry the state
next year." continued Mr.. kirkpatrick.
'From present indications, l am inclined
to think there will be a combination be-
tween Democrats aud Populists in that
state. At least some of the leaders in
both these parties appear to be working
energetically to that end. But if this
combination is effected itiwill not be pos
ihIsts4saazthe FasssE aaaet4ss of sae two
parties to the polls on a com bined ticket.
There are too many Democrats who do
not take kindly to Populist doctrines. and
many Populists will not indorse Demo
cratic views. If this com bination is
formed both parties will lose, while the
Republicans will be strengthened by the
com bin alton"
"Are the prospects now in favor of Mr..
Ingalls, return to the United States SEN
ate?"
THAT is matter that cannot bs deter
mined by any one at this time. There
is no doubt that Mr.. Ingalls, will be a
very formidable candidate. think that
ex- Representative Peter will come out
as a candidate, although ne has not YET
done So"
"How is the drift of sentiment in Kan
sas on the silver question:" Mr.. Kirk
patrick was asked.
"There is not so much talk about silver
in Kansas now as heretofore, though
there is very strong silver sentiment
which is not confined to the Democratic
party, many Republicans feeling favora-
BILE to il"
Speaking of the house organization,
Mr.. kirkpatrick said that while the Kan
sas delegation is supposed to be in the
combine, he was satisfied that there had
been no agreement among its members to
pledge the delegation and ne proposed to
vote for General Henderson for clerk of

CAN'T RESUBMIT.
George L. Douglass Shows the
Figures
Why ResubmisSiOn is a FOrlorn
Hope.
THE LITTLE COUNTIES
Have Nearly as Large a Repre-
sentatiOn
As the Big Populous Counties
Favoring ResubmissiOn.

Wichita, Nov 26-Geo. L. Douglass
says that resubmission is an impossibility
in Kansas as the present legislature is
constituted. To a Wichita Beacon re-
porter he said:
''Some people hereabouts have no idea
whatever of the difficulties in the way of
resubmission. They imagine that by
making a noise in Wichita they are pro-
gressing toward rssubmission. As a
matter of fact every breath expended on
the subject in Wichita is wasted. Resub-
mission can only be had by two-thirds
vote in both houses of the legislature
1t requires "a votes in the house 10 re-
submit Sedgwick county can furuish

"The basis of repres entation in the
house is a tremendous obstacle to over

which Except Morton) is constitutionally
entitled to at least one representative.
This leaves just 21 extra representatives
to be apportioned among the larger
counties on the basis of population.
The following table shows the 104
counties which have representatives,
their population, and their representa-
ti0n in the house:

man, Stanton, Stevens, Thomas, Trego,
Wallace, Wichita and Woodson."
"Here are A counties with 161,099
people Gust about as many as live in
Atchison. Leavenworth, Wyandotte and
Sedgwick) and they have A votes in the
house-more than enough to block any
amendment to the constitution until the
crack of doom if they choose. OF course
some of these counties are for resubmis-
sion. But how many? Aud how many
of the remaining counties are for it?
Most of them have been considered
strong prohibition counties.
"The question is where are the neces-
sary "a votes to be gotten? 1t is easy to
figure up where about 20 or % might be
gotten; but how about the 81? The truth
is that the great bulk of them must
come, if at all, from what are supposed
to be strong prohibition counties
Under these circumstances resubmis-
sionists should waste no time in Wichita,
but get out and convert the communities
which will control the vote when the
test comes; for every man in
Atchison, Leavenworth, Kansas City,
Ft. Scott, Wichita and even Topeka
might be standing on his head for resub-
mission; and yet the vote of representa-
tives from the smaller towns and rural
districts could snow it under ten to one
ne 1act is the people on the farms
and in the smaller towns like Marion,
Mcpherson, Pratt, lola and hundred
others, have got the bull by the tail, and
unless they let go or enough of them can
be pursuaded that the law should be
changed GAS applied to anti prohibition
communities, in the interest of temper
ance and morality, they can delay the
business indefinitely.
preference is some times made to the
change effected in Iowa few years ago.
But there is NO comparison between the
situation in Iowa and in Kansas. In Iowa
it only required q bare majority of the
legislature to change the law. There
was no such overwhelming inequality in
the basis of representation between agri-
cultural and city population as exists in
Kansas, and there were also large towns
scattered all over Iowa, not only in the
east part of the state, but in the center
and west as we'll. The man who imag-
ines that change can be brought about in
this state in the same way that it was in
Iowa simply doesn't know anything
about the situation"

FIRM AGAINST CLEVELAND.


Gov Stone Says Democrats Must Rspudi.
Him to Win.
SEDALIA, Mo-, Nov. 26-The Sunday
morning Democrat prints 1000 word
letter from Gov. Stone to a prominent
Democrat of this city, who had written to
the chief executive asking his views on
the political situation in general, and in
Missouri in particular. The letter says
in part:
1.-Two years ago we were a compact.
distinct, vigorous party; today we are
little better than q discomfited, discard
ant mob The cause of this amazing
metamorphosis you know and l know.
There can be but one explanation. The
un- Democratic financial policies of the
administration are almost wholly re-
sponsible for our misfortunes."
To avert defeat in 1895, the governor
insists that the Democratic party must
repudiate Clevelandism and come out
squarely for free coinage. He says:
with this object in view l favor begin
ming where we left off-at the old ratio
of 16 to land see if the parity cannot
be established at that point l am as
sincerely anxious for harmony and sue
cess as any Democrat in the state, and
am more than willing to make sacrifice
to secure them. but if harmony means
that am to doff my Democracy and put
on the livery of the plutocrat object If
the alternative offered be the abandon
ment of party principle or the atfliction
of party defeat, if l must surrender in
the open field or be shot from ambush,
why then prefer to stand by the old

who holds the keys, to turn the church
over to them.
Mr.. OIden's side of the case was that
Put Out church members bad no right
to the properly.
Justice Guy certified the case TO the
district court because there was a dis

tween two rival boards of trustees.
The Put Outs showed that since the
old trustees had been put out Rev Mr.
Oden had changed the name of his or
