The Populiat caucus found very
satisfactory and creditable solution of
the senatorial problem In the nomination
of Col. w. A. Harris of Leavenworth
county last evening. He has the conf
dence and respect of conservative people,
and will make an honorable record in the
SenatS. He is IL leading representative
of the principal industry Kansas, and,
while a P3pulist. has never been identi-
tied with the extreme element of that
party, and will not cause humiliation to
his stats by the Introduction Of sensa-
tional financial bills or by foolish political
haranRs. Col. Harris has never belonged
to the calamity faction Of his party. A
successful man himself, he has believed
always in the state and It's people. In
Congress his record was free from the
boorishness of Simpson and the fana-
ticlsm of John Davis He won the good
opinion of his colleagues by display of
courtesy, conservatism and good sense
that were painfully lacking IN the
balance of the Populist delegation.
