ESPECIAL TO THE "NEWs.ul

washington, D. c., Jan. i9-The
House committee on postofices re-
sumed the hearing in the Graham
Smith Investigation today.
Representative Grosyenor appeared
and denied the statement By Represep.
tative Lenil that he (Grosvenor) had
said that as soon as the administration
had been charged with making this
appointment with knowledge that ap-
pointee was a polygamist he did not
let any grass grow under his feet.
Mr.. Grosyenor claimed that he told
Lentz that he dId not believe any
search would reveal any such papers
protesting against appointment OF Or
son Smith, as postmaster at Logan.
Mr.. Lent was present and reiterated
his former statement
Grcsyenor again denied this to be
true. POSTMASTER General Smith pro-
duced. however a letter from Rev. Mr..
clemenson. Of Salt Lake, dated Novem-
Der 2lst, 1897 addressed to President
Mckinley protesting against Smiths
appointment on the ground that he
was po)ygamlst.
II appears that this letter got In the
files OF the rostofice department, with.
out being seen by the fourth assistant

over the State and hurt his business so much
that he lost his Job.
With this sort OF feeling among the men OF
the Twentieth Kansas and their friends there
l. not much comfort for the orator who seeks
to attack their war record.
The Kansas towns are very short on halls
suitable for meetings in Presidential years.
Many county seats in counties of $4,000 have
no hall that will seat more than 500 people.
A a result the room Is packed To sunocauon
and many ARE unable TO gain admittance on
occasions Of general interest. Circus tents
have come into play for these times. and many
of them are being used for the speaking. They
make very successful places, except that the
speaker has to work hard. 1t is difficult
work 20 make an audience, filling a large tent,
thoroughly understand the words of an adj
dress.
Probably the best vote getter in Kansas
Is Charles Curtis, Congressman for the First
district. He does not make a speech II he can
avoid 1t, but he shakes hands and visits day
I'm and day out. Scarcely a farmhouse In his
district has failed to shelter him. and he does
not forget a face. lfo is always reelected
and even his own party rivals have not been
able 10 turn him down. J. X, Burton, n leading
candidate for Senator. has probably made
more speeches IN the State than any other one
man. lie Ia In demand all the timo and during
this campaign alone Is booked TO speak In every
one of the i05 counties. a considerable task
when It Is remembered that some are forty
miles from a railroad and have less than three
hundred inhabitants. But MIR. Burton Ia used

him and probably can call more people by
name than her husband. For the most part
women keep out Of the contest and at

generally failed. One woman when approached

| wish the women had no chance To vote on
anything and then thcy would not be bothered
As a fact II Is difficult TO induce the women
to vote at the spring election. They
prefer to remain at home and the Efforts OF
the candidates and committeeman 10 get them
TO the polls are amusing.
There Is little doubt that the Republican
orators have the hest Of II on the prairies. The
freedom Of the plains and the eager. nervous

| years AGO, there we're i9 Republicans and only
IS Democrats in the last Legislature. In North
Dakota there we're Is Republicans to 3 Demo
Gratis and u Fusionists in the last Legislature.
SO far from being. therefore. an element OF
strength to the Democratic party In the far
West. the alliance with Popullsts and Silver
ties has served TO deprive the Democrats OF even
the representation they had when their party
was In the minority in these states. Nor did
the alliance bring about much better results IN
some OF the states Of the Fast. The last si1ine
Legislature, for instance. had no solitary % M
ocratio representative in the Senate and only
rs Democratic members to the J2O Republicans
in the lower house. In Connecticut, following
the Presidential election of four years ago, the
Legislature was made up Of 2i2 Republicans
and only 20 Democrats. The last Vermont Leg
islature had 23l Republicans and ~ Democrats
and the last Rhode Island Legislature 50 Re-
publlcans and 10 Democrats.
Although the effect Of the Populist alliance
with free silver support has been To increase
the popular vote for Bryan and 10 add to tho
vote Of fusion candidates at state elections
since 1900, the gains 30 secured have been to n
considerable extent at the expense of the Demo-
cratic party as organized prior TO the last PTesl-
dental election. Many citizens who were
opposed TO the Republican party or its candi-
dates and who under other circumstances
would have voted the Democratic ticket have
found since 1896 an opportunity for protest
under more conGeuial political surroundings
by supporting the Populist party or the Silver
Republicans.
The most visible result Of the alliance be-
tween Democracy and the outside parties
has been the practical disruption Of the organi-
cation Of the Democracy In these Stntes. 80
that It is no longer possible To make nominations
under the former method Of putting M a ticket.
but it is necessary TO have tripartite conNen-
tions I'm which the disposal Of the several Offices
Is a matter of decker and negotiations among
the Democrats, the Silver Republicans and
the Populists. Many Of the Populists are former
Prohibiionists who have little tolerance Of
the views Of the Democratic party In govern
ment, others are former Greenbackers, and
the Democrats. deprived Of their former po-
sltion as tho chief party Of opposition. are
generally glad TO accept on fusion tickets what
recognition their allies. former Republicans.
are willing to accord them. The reduced
Democratic representation In Western and
Eastern Legislatures Is one Of the most marked
features Of Populst-Democrati alliance, and
illustrates the extent to which Democrats have
suffered fr ON an arrangement which outWardly
promotedtheir political prospects,.
