LIFE OF SENATOR KYLE.
Twice Elected to senate, by Different
Parties, In Hard Fights,

James Henderson Kyle was born near
Xenia, O., February "a. 1854. He en-
tered the University OF Illinois in 1871,
taking q course in civil engineering.
Entered Oberlin college in 1873 and was
graduated from the classical course IN
1878. He prepared for admission to the
bar, but afterward entered Western
Theological seminary, Allegheny, Pa,
graduating In 1872. During these years
he was teacher Of mathematics n en-
cheering and later engaged for sew
eral years in educational and minis
terlal work in Utah and South pa
kota. He has been pastor OF churches
at Ipswich and Aberdeen, ~resigninS
to become financial secretary of Yank-
ton college. He was elected to the
state senate as an independent in 1890,
and the succeeding winter was elected
TO the United states senate to succeed
Gideon G. Moody. taking his seat In
1891. In 1897 he was reelected, this
time by a combination of republicans
and populists. The first time he was
elected by a combination OF popuiist
and democratic votes. His current
term will expire March 3, 1898.
In the legislature elected in 1890 the
republicans controlled by n narrow
margin. but through mismanagement
lost the organization II the demo-
Gratis ap1 poulists combined, unseated
republicans and control. Then
the contest was between Trip, demo
crat; Loucks, populist; Campbell, pop
ulist: Wardell. populist, and others,
Loucks being the leader. Finally after
unsuccessfully balloting several weeks
a combination was Ia whereby the
populists and democrats concentrated
on Kyle and elected him, with the un-
derstanding he would align with the
democrats.
Beginning OF Fusion.
In connection with this fight there Is
an interesting political story. The
tional committees OF the democrats and
populists got together, for the first
time, to produce practical results, and
out OF that beginning many believe the
fusion OF 1896 really grew. 1t came
about In this way. In the Illinois leg
islature there were a few Dopulists and
they would not ge. tcgether with the
democrats, though the combination
would have controlled. John A. Logan
and John M. Palmer were the repub-
lIcan and democratic candidates. The
winner must have the populists. A
deal was made whereby the populists
In Illinois agreed to help elect Palmer,
a democrat, in return for which the
democrats in South Dakota should help
elect Kyle. a populist. The zeal was
carried out in both legislatures, and
Palmer and Kyle went to the senate.
Senator Kyle faithfully carried out
the program and although ne had been
II republican till u time very recently
before his election to the Legislature, lie
acted with the democrats during his
first term in the United States senate,
as agreed. IN the campaign of 1896 ne
was regarded practically as the candi-
date of the populists In case the legis-
lature should go that way. The result
was a sweeping victory in the legisla-
ture for the populists. The relations
between Senator Pettigrew and Kyle
were very bitter as a result of personal
differences developed at Washington.
