PREsIDENT POLK'S MESSAGE. To the Oficers and Members of the Supreme Council of the N. F. A. and Congratulating you, and through you the great organization you represent -- on the hopeful and encouraging aus pices under wYhich you have this day assembled, I beg to submit for your earnest conilderation such thoughts and suggestions affecting the present and futurb of our great order as may conduce t the successful prosecution of its nobi and patriotic purposes. The pulic mind is naturally directed to this meeting with anxious interest, if. not solicitude, and you cannot be unmindful of tho importance and re sponsibility that attaches to your ac tion as represctatives. Comig as you do from States and localities, remote from each other, and differing widely from each other in their material and physiological characteristics,and mark ed by thele social and political differ ences wh ch must necessarily arise under oul form of government. It is your gri< Nus privilege, as it shall be your cro% ing honor to prove to the world by . harmonious action and thoroughl ternal co-operation that yAjur supi purpose is to meet the demands t, patriotic duty in the spirit of equity - nd justice.

However urgent and emphatic may he our de- p man(d8, exp?rience teaches us that they di are of no avail unless supported and d enforced by such practical methods as tl will convince the law- making power of p our determination and ability to prose cute thei to a successful issue. Let ti this supreme council, representing all a parts of the country, and that great n: interest that pays over 80 per cent. of u1 all taxes of the country, assert and al maintain its dignity and its solemn pur- n pose to protect and advance the inter- tI ests of its constituency by declaring co their legislative needs, and by showing ci to the American Congress that when fj its demands on paper are ignored, it ti can and will vindicate and maintain its claims at the ballot-box. tj Our recent experience with that body, e as well as with the leaders of the two C great political parties of the country, P should admonish us that the time has g arrived when the great organization t should take bold and determined ac- fr tion. To this end, I respectfully recom- n mend that this council authorize the organization of a body to be known as s the National Legislative council of the P Farmeas' Alliance and Industrial un- n ion, to whoim shall be committed the a charge of such legislative reforms as a may be indicated by your body. P I would respectfully suggect that the legislative council be composed of a your national president, who shall be a ex-olicio chairman, and the presidents C of all the Statem repr(sented in the c supreme council, and that this body i shall hold its annual meeting within sixty days alter the adjournmt-nt of the supreme council. E Not only would its service be poten- c tial for good in securing harmony and v unity of action among the people, and I by crystalizing and concentrating ac- h tion upon any desired measure of re- tj form, but the natural and harmonious y, blending of the moral force of such a body, with the influence of the reform r4 press throughout the States, would es- n tablgh and solidify a power which p V0 lot fail to exercise a most bene- s -Ifect upon public affairs. inmend, if it be practicable and c, ', that the office and duty of o be transferred and merged ti )if the secretary.

Were it the design of the framers ti of our organic law to inpress our mem- t, bership with the responsible and pa triotic duty of reaching the exalted P standard in citizenship to which all s American freemen should aspire, and u to assert that our organzation was pol- N itical in the highest sense of that term, F1 they were fortunate in adopting the language used in this declaration; but r while our organization is political, it 8 cannot be partisan or sectional in its a action. In support of this declaration b we proudly point to our whole past re-. cord and to the recen t popular election, ~ and particularly to the noble and pat- t riotic bearing of the brotherhood in the t It is as needlless as it would be crinm inal to attempt to disguise the fa :t thatr as an erganization we have reached a critical periodl in our existence. Insid- ci bous andl powerful influences are seek- ci inir to divert us from the high purpos es and granti objects for which we weres organized. Flushed and elated with sueccess marvelous in many of its ats p)ects, the most remarkable in the poll tical history of' this country, let us noth imnpair its prestige and power by indif feireeor inactivity on the one hand,.e and by grasping for the impracticable or unattainable on the other, strong asc we are, and strong as we must becoinen -strong enough, if united, to render our lines imipregnable to any open orb opposing force, yet we are not strong r eniough nor can we.be to withstanril the intrigue and treachery of foes within. Our princip)les must find their "city of refuge" and our cause its citadel of safety in the loyal hearts of a devoted mom be rship. Let our primary bod(ies barricade ti their dloors against unworthy and deC- T sighing men, and, If such be found al- 'I read(y within the gates, let them at a once be furnished safe and speedy exit f< to the camp of the enemy. Let these C primary bodies, standing as a sent,inel tl at the outer gates, be constantly on the ni alert, and wvatch with -ceaseless yigil- d ance lest they admit dangerous emis- ti saries from corporations or political or hi imonopolistic combinaations. Let us as h an order adopt as our rule of action the inflexible teat of loyalty to Alliance ir p)riniciples as the first and n,ost esseni- p tial p)rerequisite to membership, and to tl our confidence.

Place no a mlan on guard who is not a loyal and faithful iriend to our cause Hlerein lie's our strength and our safety, a Let -us stand unitedly and unflin- c chingly by the great principles enu merated at our St. Louis meeting. In the light of our recent ox perience the important work of discus ng and elui cidating these principles must dev olve upon us in congress, on the hustings, in conventIons and in the partisan press c of the country. There was a signifi- t can t silence on these principles, except f and only in cases where we forced their c discmsion. All propositions presented o by us look to financial reform, and not- s ably the measure known as the sub- si treasury plan, was ignored by congress, km and even the discussion on this plan e was a twtsada the 'a n mg I.. Address o etitions of hundreds of thousands c ur members forlinancial relief. In this direction neither of the grea1 Aitical parties of the country, nor in ,ed did the 1Waders of these parties in icate a favorable inclination to hee ie demands of these millions of o ressed and long suffering farmers. A cereful review of financial legish on by congress for the past quarter o century, together with the disregar anifested by that body to the just an rgent demands of the people for fi Icial relief, has fixed upon the ptbli aid the alarming apprehension tha ie sedntive hand of monopolistic an )rporate power has lifted the Amer mi congress to the dangerous eminenc om which they can no longer het le cry of the people. But the decree has gone forti. th As dangerous an(d threatening stat r things cannot much longer exis ongress must come nearer to the pec le, or the people will get nearer to coc ress. Let us not be diverted throng ie machinations of political intrigi ,om the great and paramount issii :w before the American people. 'FinaneJal Reforn"-Let this be th ogan and the rallying cry of the pe( Le, until relief shall come. We cai At hope for relief if we accept the Ii1 acial policy adopted and practiced fo quarter of a century by the two gret Dlitical parties of the country. Never in the history of the countr 'as there such universal interei mong the people and such urgent di and on the political parties for finar al reform as characterized the recen impaign, and yet the great effort i ie leaders of each of the parties an r the partisan press was to give ove lawoding prominence to questions an sues partaking largely of a partisa laracter to the exclusion of the or ital living issue-financiel reforn adeed the evasion of this great issti as been prominently characteristic < ie two great parties for the paFt 2 ears.

President Polk then reiterated th -mands of the Alliance, arged til trmers to stand by them.

Reliance Placed in a Contest of the lee tion if Alliance Men Cannot be Crowded Out-Itesorting to the United Stat 2e8. ate. Tor i:,A, Kan., Nov. 29.-The claim of Senator Ingalls that he will be United States Senator from Kansas to succeed himself appears to have good found tion, if his plans or the plans of his friends prevail. The preliminary steps have already been taken for a contest in the Senate, it being certain that the Alliance will command more than enough votes to elect. There are 106 Counties in the State nineteen of them havingbeenor anized since the last apportionment of mem bers of the Legislature. These Coun ties are without representation in the lower 1Iouse, although the Constitution specially provides that ever organized County casting 250 votes shall be en - titled to a representative, and In no case shall the number of members ex ceed 125. There have been two sessions of the Legislature since these Counties were organized, but they were not pro vided for, the Eastern Counties having iore than one member refusing to surrender theIr representative. The mnieteen Counties unrepresented have, by courtesy, been allowed delegates wio draw neither pay nor mileage, and who have no privileges on the floor of the House except to sit there and watch matters pertaining to their own Counties. They have been regularly elected at each general election as rep resentatives, but have not been recog nized as such. A few days ago a delegate named Lobdell, from one of these Counties through his attorney made a demand upon the State Canvassing Board that a certificate of Action as Representa tive be issued to him. The board re fused to (1o this, recognizing only the legislative district as provided by law. Notice was given that an application would be made to the Supreme Court for a mandamus compelling the issuing of such certificate, Lobdell under the Constitution, being entitlea to a seat as a member. Nothing was thought of this until to-day, when an attorney, who advised Lobdell to take this action re vealed the reasons to a supposed friend. lHe acknowledged that the alliance would elect a successor to Senator Ingalls, - having 92 votes, 9 more than enough. The Ingalls plan is to compel the See - retary of State to issue certificates of L election to the extra eighteen members, one of the Counties not having the re iiisite number of voters, in which case there would be 143 members, making the vote, uder a decision of the Su. premne Court, illegal. 1here are counted for Ingalls 24 votes i th Iiouse and :1 in the Senate, to which the plotters add the eighteen extra inembers, although but elevrn of them are itepublicans. This would give In galls 7f votes. Six Democrats are count ed as likely to vote for Ingalls, making - his strength 82, or 1 less than enough. m If the delegate members are seated it is Li, pro)osed to go iltO the United States Senato with a contest upon the claim ill that the alliance has illegally elected its le Senator by bringing in 18 votes. It is i argued that upon this showing Senator ingalls will be seated. in case the Supreme Court should re fuse to issue its writ of mandamus, the schemers propose to make the contest ipon theshowing that eighteen counties r- have b)een thrown out, although under e- the (Const itution they should be entitled Y, to vote for Senator. In the joint ses sion, whein the Senatorial vote is taken, each (delegate will rise and de:nand the ,privilege of voting. Some of the In -galls workers profess to believe that the <s Eelepublican President of tihe Senate will ml recognize thiese delegates, but lhe is a fair man and will hardl do so. le Failing in both of these plans, the le schemers propose to have the Secrerary -of State, in making up his list of mem brofthIouse, include these eighteen (t dlelegates and drop tihe names of eighteen ~-Alliance nmembers just elected, as lie 1- can make up a roll of but 125 members ,- when lhe organizes tihe IIouse. They say te that if he (lees this they can organize >r the I louse and retaini their seats, and the ,gaining over of two or three Alliance mnembhers formerly Republicans will be a e coimparatively easy matter. in that case rno conltest wold be necessary. .Secretary IIiggins was questioned up. onm his probable action in tils case, lie -saidl: "1 am an Ingalls man and will do what I canl (10 honorably for his election 0 but I will not 1l1nd myself to any such. Sscheme. 1 hlave no power to disfran chise any district provided by tihe laws -of thne State, nmor do I propose to attempt e aniy such highi-handenl outrage. I shal. ri organize the IIouse with the 125 mem bers electedi under the law, even while.e believe an injustice hlas been done thee eighteen Counmties. Senator Ingalls must be re-elected fairly or not at all, and I confess I do not see how he can be with 92 votes against him, when only 83 are . Inlcase the Supreme Court orders the " issuimg of certiicates of election to the 0 eighteen delegates-for Lobdell is mak. img the fit for all-Mr. il' nsde '-. cines at this time to say what hjoul do. iIe would, however, probably din.. - ly, leaving tile House to detrmine ,v what it should (do. The plan was enter .tained of making the llouse vote illegal :by increase of numbers, and of then de malnmg.of Governor Humphrey the athdmug of the certificate of election a of tile Alliance Senator, it was thought e the Governor could then be forced, as il soon as the Legislature adjourned, to h appoint Senator Ingalls to filli the sup. e jposed vacancy. lBut it was soon learn >- edi that Governor IIumiphrey would not it entertain any such plan nor would he 1. have anythling to (10 with such1 proceed .n inigs. iIe would( cause to be issued the lf certificate of electionl to tihe man the Al ie liance with its majority on joint ballot, ah namued as thne nlext United States Sena, ip tor'. Thlerefore, the plan now is to pro. or for a contest in the United Senate.
