The election last week settled the populist party in Kansas. They lost everything. The returns show that counties that gave a populist majority of 500 two years ago, re- versed the order to the republicans by large majorities. Upinthis part of the country thieves content themselves by steal- ing horses. It the southern part of the state they take harness.
