VOICE FROMCOLORADO
The Denver Republican Says PETER
Ought to be Senator.

The following is from yesterdays
Denver Republican:
The Populists have complete control
of both houses of the Kansas 1egisla-
ture, and there is no doubht that they
will select a man of their own party as
successor to Senator PETER, whose term
expires on March 4th.-
There are half a dozen candidates or
more in the race, but most of them are
virtually unknown outside of Kansas
and some of them are cranks of the
worst kind.
We are strongly of the opinion that
Senator PETER should be reelected as
his own successor. Barring his whisk-
ers which have caused a good deal of
amusement both at home and abroad
Senator PETER is really a very able
man, and his experience in the senate
during the past six years would I'M
doubtedly be very useful to him during
a second term. His speeches on all
public questions have been conserva-
tive, thoughtful and instructive. He
devotes a great deal of time and atten-
ton to the preparation of all public
utterances, and there are very few men
belonging to any party in the senate
who can present an argument more
clearly or more forcibly.
ne mace d careful STUDY Oh the great
economic questions now occupying so
much public attention in this country,
and his arguments showing the good
effects that bimetallism would have
upon our agricultural interests, and
indirectly upon all our other interests,
have not been surpassed by any other
member of congress.
If Kansas must have a Populist sena-
tor-and that seems inevitable from the
composition of the present legislature
by all means let it be PETER, for he
is ADLER, fairer and saner than most of
the Populist leaders in this country.
and he really compares very we'll with
the best of his colleagues in every
thing that goes to make a wise, honest
and far-seeing legislator.

Protection for Mortgaeees.

The law for the. punishment of mort
gagorS selling or transferring mOrtgaged
property will probably be repealed at this
session of the legislature, and act sub
stituted which will make the punishment
much more severe. A bill introduced by
Senator Matthew's (Rep., Mcpherson
county,. in reference TO this matter has
been considered by the judiciary commits
tee and will be refeFredNback to the SEN
ate. with but few minor changes, with the
recommendation that it be passed. The
bill makes the punishment for selling or
transferring mortgaged property a lar
ceny instead of a miSdemeanOr. AS the
law now stands the offense is punishable
only by a fine of $500 or six months i'm
prisonment. The proposed law will make
the offense punishable by penitentiary i'm
priSOnment.

POWER OF EUGENE HAGAN.
All Appointments From Kansas Die
tated by the Topeka Lawyer.

Washington. Jan. 20.-The appointment
of Alpha r. Young as postmaster of
Caldwell, Kan, is still hanging fire in the
senate. The explanation given is that
nothing will be done until the return
either of Senator Wolcott, who is the
chairman of the committee, or of Senator
Mitchell, of Oregon, who is the ranking
member.
1t seems that all the appointments for
Kansas are now dictated by Eugene Ha-
gan, the chairman of the state committee
of the national Democratic party. When
the vacancy occurred in the Caldwell
out Young. who had been in Texas during
the campaign. and was not considered as
a free silver advocate. which it is alleged
he really is. Hagan's endorsement to
Youngs application was obtained and he
was appointed.

Good Health

And a good appetite go hand in hand.
With the loss of appetite, the system
cannot long sustain itself. Thus the
fortifications of good health are broken

l.. Sullivan, VINO was taken i'll with
tonsilitis here a few days ago, and who
last evening developed alarming symp-
toms, is today pronounced out of dan
ger. An operation has been performed
upon the patients throat. Sullivan
began to have difficulty in breathing
last night and later strong symptoms of
heart trouble were noted. DR.. Rey-
nolds of Providence, who was sum-
moned, found the sick man in a condi-
ton which neceSSitated his remaining
with him all night. This morning Sui
Ivan was better and DR.. REYNOLDS de-
cided to lance his throat. The opera
ton gave much relief. Two hours
later the dangerous symptoms disap-
peared and the ex-pugilist was rest

home in Boston as soon as he is able
to stand the journey.

HARRIS OR KING.
One of These the Probable Nom
inee of TOnight'S Caucus.
King Led Last Night-Harris
Men Working Hard.
25 BALLOTS TAKEN
Last Night Without Any Nom
inatiOn.
Is BALLOTS TAKEN
Many Prominent Men Compli-
mented During the Contest.

After twenty-five ballots, including
the informal nominating ballot, and a
ballot which was declared illegal, the
Populist caucus to nominate candi-
date for United States senator adjourn
ed last night at ten minutes before II,
without having reached an agreement
The last ballot stood as follows:
L. P King .......35. J w Breidenthal 8.
W A. Harris 80. John Madden. 2.
e. C. Little .22. w. A. Peffer.... 2.
A w. Dennison. 5.
The managers of the various factions
pretend to be confident of success for
their particular candidate, the general
sentiment is that the race will narrow
down to Harris and King tonight.
The adjournment was secured last
night after several attempts. the first
of which was made by the Harris for
ces. When the effort was made one of
Kings supporters exclaimed:
We've got the Harris fellows fiutter-
ing
One of Kings supporters said early
in the evening that their only hope was
to prevent an adjournment and ham,
mer out the nomination last night.
In the Little camp it is claimed that
Harris and his followers will go to
them rather than to King. This is de-
MED by the Harris men and the claim
is made that Ed Little developed all
his strength last night, and it is inSis-
ted that under the surface may be
the compact which the Little men will
make Harris nomination wholly respon-
Sible to that crowd.
The political guessers today very
generally say that lit looks like Harris
would win out"
On motion of Representative Charles
L. Brown of Cowley the caucus cast an
informal ballot which developed the
following candidates:
w. A. Harris, L. P. King, John w.
Breidenthal, E. c. Little, w. l.. PETER,
