The Oli Parties Coubiim and Clean it up in Kanhas-Iehenting the Arrogance of the New Party Leadlers-'rcoldent Polk Says it. # aD Bight. LEAVENWORTI, KAN., Nov. 5. The combining of the republicans with the democrats against the people's party in ninny parts of* Kansas Tuesday really began in the last legislature, where the two older parties, in order to accomphs i anything, were forced to combine. Be fore the election last fall it was tacitly agreed between the leaders of the demo. cratic party and the alliance leaders that if the democrats should nominate the old war governor, Charles Robinson, of Lawrence, for governor, the alliance convention would indorse the nomina tion and in return the democrats were to accept the man the alliance selected for lieutenant governor on the democratic ticket. The alliance con' ention and the det -ocratic convention were held the same day in Wichita, but the alliance, instead of nominating and indorsing Rob ison for governor, named J. T. Willets, a comparatively unknown man. The alliance leaders may have intended to keep faith, but un -nthuslastic delegate proposed Willet's name and that settled it. L. W. Humphreys was reelected gov ernor, by the republicans, an( Willets came in second in the race. The demo crats were incensed and :n the alliance. which had cut their 80,000 majority down nearly half, the republicans saw a "lusty foe." The third party then be came the common enemty of republicans and democrats alike, and the battle in the legislature, which was almost over whelmingly alliance, r14ulted. Follow in this caine Ingalls's defeat by Pfell'er, whose election has done more to hurt the third party than anything it has done before or since. ;: Before the campaign this year sections of the repudlicati and democratic party in this State coquetted with the alliance and talked fusion but tle third party, proud >t Its strength, refused to listen to these proposals and a general meeting ol the democrati,- editors in Topeka in June resented these proposals, as far as the democracy was concerned, and decared bitterly against the alliauce. The deleat of the alliance Tuesday last was the result. In a-', interview today. J. Ralph Bur. ton, of Ahelene, a noted repubhcau cain paigner, said: "The only elections of national importance were in Ohio an(d Kansas and there the repubhcans carried everything. In Kasas it. was a perfect avalanche. Tile issue was whether the vdgaries of a set of' visionaries were to be fastened olt the state and the vote of the people said they were not. "Then you regard the result of' the election in Kausau as a total defeat for the allinuce?" "Utter. But. it was not defeat, it was annihilation. They are swel) from the lace of the earth. Ilardly a vestige re mains. There is not enough left of tihe alliance in Kansas to reform a respecta ble greenback party. Last year out of 424 principal county ollices In the State. the alliance got three hundred and soii. thing; this year only 125. C. K. IIolliday. of ti Topeka Demo crat, a successful editor mid shrewd politician, said: '"From a diemoarat ic stand point it's a gloiou~ts victory. W e beat the alliar.ce b)ody, soul and breeches, and that it enough to make any one feel good in Kansas. "While KansaR has not, as many dem ocr'ats as sonme States, yet we have had * a consider'able degree of' stuccess in tie piast, and there is no reasonx why we may not have in the future. But, iif Kansas dlemocratis accomlish any thing in the future they will have to quit, dividing up tr? light men and all go ini togecther w ith a grandt putll loi' the prinicples of dlemoc. racy." "You are not in full accord with .some other Kansas dlemociat as to thme piolicy of' the plarty, are yota" "I am not,in accord with the members of the State central c,mimittee by a bi majority. They want to fuse with the alliance. Why, ini Jleno county the straight dem(cr'ats got to'gether' and put1 out a democrat,ic ticket. but tbe c'omitt tee would't reccognizie them and in~etd on fusion with the allimnee. Thle re(sult is that county went ov'erwl.elmingly~ republican. ThiWs is teachiing the fusioni (democrats a lesson, andi they arc all get' t'ng mighty sick of' fusion. ' .WINIFREn, Kan., Nov. 5.-In this, Cowisy county, the peo)ple's pai'ty was born. In 1889 the rep-iblican efehat was overwhelming, owim;. to local matters. Out of' this victor'y a few men con. nected with the F'ar.niers' Alliance con ceived the idea of ai peoples' party lorn the county andi thed for' the State. IL H. Chav'er, who was afterwards elected to congress by t,he alliance party, was al that time preside.'it of the Statelalliance, and lhe succeededt in gett.ing a State or ganiz.ation of' a new party. The resuli was t,hat the (dmlocrats joined( the ali ance movement and eleted a legislature that (downed ,John ,J. Ingalls. This (lone the alliance par .y boldh announced Its antagonism to renubilcati. ism and democracy alike, and openly in, suIted deniocrats who daredl ask for,a share of' the honors won in a fusion can. .paign. In the present campaign in this coun. ty, as in a miajoiity of counties In '.hit '-tate, the alliance boldly asserted its in. dependence and the democrats in the towns, findimg that the brethren In th< country were liable to ioin the "calatmit3 howl," lintd the republican forces ant A ~ administered a shippinlg the alliance -- will not soon forget. lion. John A. Eaton, who was electet as a democrat fro a this city to the leg, islature, and who wvas the democrat,k candidate for congress in 1888, said to, night: "The su-treasury, government loaning of money and bovernment own. erihip of railroads was thought by dem tecrats to be dangerous. The leadhers o the alliance, which advocated those measur 's, madle It a point to go furthei and misrepresent the con lition of Kan Sats, one of the most capable and grand est agricultural States in the Union. "It became necessary, in the mmids of leading democrats, to give this alliance party a 8etback that would teach it con servatism at least. The democrats have taught the alliance party that arrogance and intolerance should not and must not be taught in reforn politics.'' Captain Gray, la.e democratic candi date for sheriff, says: "I did not ex pect a large vote. Crankisin and intol erance has gone to such extremes that good sense is no longer exhibited by the leaders of the Farmers' Alliance. That organization needed a dru>bing. and tile democratic farmers went to the polls with republican farmers, shoulder to shoulder, and 'settled the hash' ofa par ty not called for by any issue." John Rt. Sumpter. chairman of the republican central committee. says lie was sure the democrats would vote the republican ticket, on accotut of the wild theories advanced by the alliance speak ers, each of' which "had a plan," and no two of which were alike. Sol Smith, who conducted the cam paign in this county for the people's party, says lie was surprised at the re sult, as lie thought a democrat would vote anything rather than a republican ticket, but has formed a now opinion in regard to democratic proclivities. Many other leading politicians express similar views. This country gave From 400 to 800 al liance majorities in 1888, from 30 to 200 in 1890, and thus far gives the republi can ticket pluralities of from 900 to 1,00 and the democrats are rejoicng with the republicans. WICHITK, KAN., Nov. 5.-There was no union of democrats and republi. cans in this county or judicial district against the 1ariers' Alliance. Each party had a straight ticket in the fied, and the republicans won the (lay. In the adjoining districts where there was such fusion it was entirely due to a belief that in that locality the alliance had a plurality ol the votes, and tha the success o1 that, party of despair meant new accession,s to its ranks and a pi olongation of the ruinoas policies in ataiated by the late alliance legisla ture and which have proved so disaq Lrous to the credit and welfare of Kan swi. The visionary land loan and sub treasury scheme promulgated by alli ance le;;slaLors, the class legislation de IMandRed, tie monopoistic I.CIdecy of the body, as scen in their twenty mil lion dollar mercantile trust.. which pro poses to establhsh farmers' co-operative stores of all kinds, and the generally Wild vagaries and dangerous doctrines of the secret, oath bound alliance have aroused men of all other political beliefs to a sense of the destruction 01 business -'id credit bound to lo low in the wake of' alliance success. 11, is the general bel'cfthat the deleats of last Tuesday will inaugurae a disin ;e.ati3n Of the alliance men ill Kansas, which will leave it an uninpotant fEt. tor in politics a year hence when its members will be distributed among the old parties, the greater per cent. going to the democracy as the exponent of many measuies that, vitally concern the people. COLONEL POLK ON TiE ALLIANCE. Col. L. L. Poik, president of the Na tional Farmers' Alliance. said: "The allianl C has not been weakened. It is as siron-r as ever.

TIlE GREAT VICTORY. GOVERNOR HILL TELLS THE PEOPLE WHAT IT MEANS. It EmUphanize1 the Iepudiation of Ite publicau Principles and is the Fore runner of Triumph for the National De mocracy. ALBANY, N. Y., Nov. 5.-The Demo crat of Albany and the Buffalo Club serenaded Governor Hill to-night. Governor Hill spoke in the open air, addressing the crowd on the mansion lawn. le said: "The victory over which we are now rejoicing is of pre-eminent importance. It not only establishes the control of the Democratic party in the executive and other departments of the State government for the next two or three years, but it emphasizes the repudia Lion of Republican principles. The campaign of our opponents from its inception to its close was on of brag and bluster. It was not characterized by sincerity. There was no real con fidence In the issues which they sought to make. They announced their desire to discuss State issues exclusively, and proceeded to conduct their canvass upon that basis, and now they simply wish they hadn't. They themselves virtually repudiated the national prin ciples of their party by a cowardly re fusal to discuss theni before the people. Our position in regard to State matters was as impregnable as the rock of Gibraltar. For eight years we had an nually carried the State upon the ques tions presented by the administration of our State affairs, and our opponents only exhibited their rashness and ex treme indiscretion when they appar ently eagerly sought a conflict upon the very ields where we had often routed them and where we had so frequently won so many signal triumphs. "The people were satisfied with Dem ocratic rule in this state, and did not desire a change. Our party had faith fully fullilled its pledges. We had re duced the state debt from $7,000,000 to $1,000,000. The credit of the state never stood higher than now. Econo my and retrenchment had been the watchwords and policy of the party. No scandals had pertained to the ofli cial conduct of any state oflicer. The laws liad been faithfully and impartial ly executed. The state taxes were the lowest that they had been in thirty-six years. Our state treasury was full and overilowing. The people had been given good government. The State was prosperous and the people were contented. Our opponents, therefore, only exhibited their fool-hardiness when they attacked us upon lines which were the most strongly entrenched. The returns from the rural districts show that the silly cry of the 'Tam many Tiger' was without effect. The lion-hearted Democracy of the interior ;Lro not afraid of an alleged tiger or any other animal which is the outcome of the imagination of our Republican friends. "This victory means the vindication or the Democracy [cheers] in State and nation. It is the victory of the Demo crati, pIty, W. had no entangling alliances. It was a straight party fight upon the issues raised between the Democratic and Republican parties, and the people decided in our favor. The Republicans said at the outset that they wanted a speaking campaign, and now they say their candidate talked too much. Ile said he wanted to 'turn on the light,' and the light was turned on, but it exposed the utter insincerity and worthlessness of lepublican pretenses. Our chances steadily improved under the strong light of intelligence and de liberate discussion. Our opp)onents ranted; we arguedl. They indulged in personal abuse and vilification; we avoided such methods, but p)resen)ted facts andt figures. Tihev appealed to the prejudlices of the people; we ap pealed to their judgment. They coni ducted a cam paign of' enthusiasm; we calmly relied upon the justice o1 our cause andt upon our pierfect organiza tion. They grew wveaker and weaker as the contest progressed; we grew stronger every hour. Another camn paign, and we would have had a ma jority nort,h of Harlem river. "This election has rebuked those who hiad no arguments to present for their cause, but who foolishly insisted upon calling reputable men murderers and thieves. It has demonstrated that local andl municipal affairs (10 not constitui e a suflicient issuie for a great State elec tion. 1t settles the question of the in tention of' the people of the rural dis tiets to allow the citizens of Ne w York city the privilege of govering them selves. 1 believe that, we have fairly carriedtl h1I branches of the Lep.isia tire. 1i the final retu rns corr'obowrate this view, then indleedl may the people of the State rejoice, because it insures ai dleliverancle from Repubjlican legislative isrule hiereaftei-. Our opplonients have only kept possession of the Legislature hieretof'oi e because of t heir deliberate refusal to obey the constitution. T1hey have kept control by unworthy mean's and violated oaths. They have rel used an e'tnumeration of the inhabitants and a reapportionment of the State solely be cause to do so would deprive them of power. if our victory shall be comnplete, the people will have a fair and just representation in the senate and assemn bly. We shall have an impartial con gressional reapportionment. We shall have a much needed revision of the ex cise laws. WVe needed the revision of the excise laws. We shall have a new measure of relief for the tax payers and still ->w( taxes. We shall have wise and practical legislati'm in the interest of labor. We shall have measures of home rule for municipalities, and we shall in all things legislate for the inter ests of t,he people. "Our triumph in New York will strengthen our cause in the nation, It will give hope to every D)emocrat for the great contest next year. It is the foreruner of a groat D)emocratic victory then.

WAsHI'NTON, -Nov. 7.-The general feeling hero is that t tie elections this week and their results have sioothed the way for a Democratic victory in 1892. The president, Mr. Blaine and other members of the administration see this and they do not conteiplate the figures of the last election with any. thing like satisfaction. They have seen the free coinage and Farmers' Alli ance scares falling out of sight and tar iff reform standing out boldly as the is sue with the certainty that a proper mnau that Will be th noiminee of theI Democratic party on a sound platform.

C unpbell has been compelled to take, but there is ackiowl edged much in that result, in the way of prolit if the .)emocracy will not close their eyes to it. It holds te N epublicans to the rob ber tariff as an issue for which they must contend, and it promises to elimi nate the free coinage or silver idea from the light in '02. Thus sunlight can be seen through the only ])emocratic re verse. While the administration linds no solace anywhere, the N ew York Sun in an editorial leader prophesies that Blaine and McKinley will be the lie publican ticket in 12. It is thought here that the large Iepublicani major ity in the Ohio legislature will intvit e a bitter light between Sier man and -or aker for the senate. A n insolin t. Speech.

I see by Thed ievs and Courier of today that Mr. G. V. M. Williams has written you a let er which reflects upon me and to which desire to reply. It must strike your Excellency its omiewhat strange that Mr. Williams is hampioning the cause of his client's, aptor, and is trying to aid him in re- t overing the reward offered for his Ices.

Mr. Williams ays: "Col. Aldrich was by some means rought into the case to assist mue in ,he delelhce of McFail." This language C . usually employed to indicate that a awyer has insinuated himself irregu. arly into a case, and I have no doubt ,hat lr. Williams intends to create .hat impression notwithstanding that, ie knows that I consented to assist him 6 )y the request of McPail, his father -Amd 'i WVilliamns himself, which writings from .

The result of Gen. Pope's investiga mns are contained in the following itement presented by him to Governor liman yesterday morning: His Excellency, 1. It. Tillinan, the jovernor of the State of South Caro a: VoUR EXCELLENCY-Iu response to ur letter of the 7th inst., requesting to personally superintend, on this y, in liarnwell, an examination inte s recent occurrences touching the re ird oflerea by you fur the aprehension W. L. lcFai, charged wih murder, d while evading arrest for said al. 'ed crime, I beg leave to report: 'hat on this morning I proceeded to irnwell and made an investigation of e matter referred to me, with the fol wing result: 1. 1 became thoroughly convinced that o cause of good government In this ate required that an indictment for nspiracy should be preferred against e elder McFall, G. IV. M. Williams and If. 11111. 2. 1 was equally satisfied that indict nts for porjury should be handed out ainst G. W. M. Williams and A. Mc ill. The indictment referred to in e first and second paragraphs of this mmunication will go before the :and Jury of Barnwell county tomor W. 3. The conduct of the sheriff, Mr. Lan ster, which you requested me to in stigate at the same time, was inquir into, and 1 an satisfied no steps ould he taken against him, for in the -it place he tried to arrest W. L. ,lc til, even going go far as to offer the im of SWO from his own means to ac inpling this result. In the second ace no act on his part in relation to e alleged arrest of W. L. McFail by .11. Hill could be objected to except e giving of a certificato of said arrest, id in this last matter he declined to ve such certi(Jeate until his attorney, very highly esteemed and gifted law r of the Barnwell bar had recommend - such a course for his adoption. Un ,r such circumstances, I repeat, no oceedings should be had against him. I would illy discharge my duty in the emises if I neglected to bear testi ony to the cordial co-opperation of e most worl hy solicitor of the Second reuit, lion. W.

This as done at my request, and if there as anything wrong in It, it wias an er r from tho head and not from the art. Now, in order to stop this un rtunato newspaper warfare, and to it a speedy end to it, I make no fur er claims to the reward. Yours, itli preat respect, It. ii. HILL.
