Speculations Concerning the Next Senatorship and Govern- orship. : Senator Plumb and Gov. St, John the Only Candidates for the Former. St. John to Mako the Fight on the Antl> Monopoly aud Prohibition Issucr. The Present Delogation of M. 0.'s All De- sire Ro-cleotion, and 80 Oppose Reapportionment, Candidatos for the Gubernatorial Chair—Activi- ty of tha Groenbackers—Formatton of Farmars’ Alliances, Speetal Correspondence of The Chieago Tribune, 'Toreka, Ras., May 2—Some lnteresting speculations are now being indulged cone cerning Kansas politics, There are rumors of nll sorts of combinations—n perfect sntur- nalla of rings—for tha control of alt the pros- peetive vacancies In offices and the indlea- tlong point to n aplrited contest all around. Although there are no important elections occurring until 1882, the soveral asplrants for tho prinetpal places sre already mapping out 2 progrun, giving directions na tothe manner of making the canvass, defining the isstes, and throwing out skirmish-lines, Under the arrungement for biennial sessions of tho Legisiature, the State Senators elected last fall hold over, and particlpate in the clec- tion of A UNITED STATES SENATOR to succeed P. 1, Plumb, in dantary, 1885, Members of the House who take part In the Senatorial election are to be chosen In No- vember, 1892, 1t is conceded thnt the State Senate will be yery closely divided between Mr, Plumb and Goy. St. John for United Stntes Senator,— there beng no other enntidates named, 80 far, for the succession, It wes thought at one thne that ex-Goy. Thonms A, Osborn would be a formidable contestant for the place, but since lis transfer to the Brazilian Mission it ts not probable that he will Inter- est hilmself Jn home affairs. ‘This leaves the contest squarely between Senator Plumb and Gov.-St. John, who are very equally matched in all tho‘arts and “strange devices” of pol Stes, and who have about an equal distribu- tion of patronage with which to cement their respective forces. “ A Senator Mumb has made one of the best representatives the State has ever had at Washington, and has worked Indefatlgably for the interests of his constituents and for the party. He is well‘Iked by the people xenerally, and is understood to be fn es poelal favor with the present Administration, Jie will stand for redlectlon upon his con- sistent record as oa Republican and his acknowledged fidelity to all the trusts imposed upon him by the peo- ple since IMs advent «Inte public life, which dates back to the curllest settle ment of tho State, ‘Thera Js no particular issne upon which Ils canynss ts to be made, as his position and sentiments upon all pub- Vie questions are well tnderstood, and aro Delivved to bo In accord with the party which honored him with hls present station, According to the bast Information obtaina- ble, GOV. ST. JOIN will»go before the people upon the Anti- Monopoly fssue, together with whatever prestigo he may be uble to secure by reason of his advanced views upon the Prohibition auestion, whieh he has ugitated here during the past eighteen months, It isnot known how far the Protibltion movement will enter Into the Senatorlal election, butit!s prestuned that the Governor will not fail to remind his friends that he promfsed them, when called to the Gubernatorial Chair; that he would carry the bauner of Prohibition to the front in the State; and that, having proved faithful to that promise, hie wll, if sent to the Senate, minke the Prohibition question a Natloual one,—Prohibition an issue in the country at large. His main rellance, however, will be upon the growing sentiment in opposition to monopolies, There 1s a strong feeting among the agricultural classes agalnst tho present Taiirond system in Kansas and in the whole country. Rates are suld to be exorbitant, nnd tod much diserlmination Is exercised fn Favor of certain polnts, ta the detriment of the farmers, ‘The prominent defects tunid abuses in railway management are held to be: Construction of raflroads upon credit; watering stock; rings,—rings ment, rngs in construction, Hoes. ‘The remedies prope Jecislation to establish rates; equitable re resentation In the direction: fair and earned dividends; prevention of unjust diseriinina- tlon; prevention of teasing ronds when it Is done to avoid competition; prayontion of Tailrond compunies from engugtne in other ‘Duxiness; and making it an offense for public oflicers to accept free transportation over railway lines, THE RAILROAD QUESTION hos figured extensively in the last two Leg istatures.
