RESULT OF FUSION AND PARTY ERRORS Combinations of Kolbites, Populists and Republicans. THE FIGHT ON DENSON es Correspondence of The Evenlug Star. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., October 16, 1804.

The situation ts so complicated that the best-posted politicians are unable to predict with any degree of certainty just what results the election will bring forth.

Not until yesterday, though, did the democrats make their last nomination. The democratic district congressional conven- tions all met on September 4, and nomina- tions were made in every district except the sixth. In that district the convention re- mained deadlocked for five days, when ad- journment was taken and a primary or- dered for two weeks later. It resulted in the renomination of Congressman John H. Bankhead. Where Democrats Lost Time. The democratic nominee in the fourth district was Mardis L. Wood of Selma. About two weeks after he was nominated he created a big political sensation by an- nouncing that for personal reasons he had resigned the romination.

This paper has been busy exposing Denson's alleged deals with Taubeneck, and is fighting him every day. At the meeting of the state democratic committee last week tne demo- cratic club of Cullman, which had appealed from the decision of the district committee that exonerated Denson, wanted the state committee to pass on Denson's case, but as the latter was not represented before the committee that body deferred action, and it is believed will not go on with the case at all. Many democrats in the seventh district are very sore on Denson, because of his populistic views and alleged affiliations, and as every county in the district gave a ma- jority for Kolb in the state election, the election of M. W. Howard, the populist nominee, now seems very probable. Capt. Kolb and his prominent Hteutenants are ali canvassing the district in Howard's behalf, and opposing Denson, who is also on the stump explaining his conduct and views, and fighting hard for re-eiection, The ninth, or Birmingham district, which has been regarded as doubtful, is also the scene of very active canvassing. Oscar W. Underwood, democratic nominee, is being assisted by Congressman Clark of the first district, Senator Morgan, and also expects peaker Crisp. All the prominent Kolbite and republican leaders are speaking for T. the republican nominee. This district went largely democratic two years ago, and democratic leaders feel reasonably sure of success this time, but by a reduced majority. The opposition is sanguine of success, too. B. B.

A POPULIST SURPRISE How the Kansas Chairman Has Colonized Legislative Distr Holding His Voters in the State—an Ingen Plan“for Electing a Populist Ldgisiature, Correspondence of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kan., October 16, 1894. There is a big su } in store for the republican managers of Kansas. Chairman Breidenthal of the fiopulist state central committee tricked them, completely two years ago, and he originated a scheme four months ago which will go down in history as the smartest political move ever made in Kansas politics. Two years ago, when the republicans commenced to make a poll of the state, Breidenthal instructed his county committeemen to say to the poll takers that six or eight voters in this and that precinct who had formerly affiliated with the repub- lican party had gone back to the old organ- ization, and that things looked very blue for the new party. This encouraged the poll makers, and they recorded John Smith, John Jones and others as returning to the republican party, and so reported to the state central committee. When the returns had been received from the 3,500 precincts of the state and the totals made they showed a majority of 18,000 for the repub- lican state ticket. This showing caused great rejoicing at headquarters. The close friends of the committee were notified of the situation and started out to get bets. Breidenthal had posted his friends to take all the ers offered, and the result was that thousands of dollars were won by the populists. Instead of 18,000 majority for the republicans, there was an average ma- jority of 5,000 for the populists. This year the republicans, who were in the thickest of the fight in 1802, are ex- pecting Breidenthal to spring another sur- prise on them, and they will not be disap- pointed. The populist ‘chairman has been working on a scheme for four months which may elect a populist legislature, and Iuay even pull the state ticket through. When ic was known that a complete failure of crops in western Kansas was incvitable Chairman Breidenthal, as early as July 1, comn enced laying his plans to hold the populist voters, who would be compelled to leave that country, He recognized the fact that two-thirds of the voters who would have to leave were members of his party— renters, and poor men who naturally absorb the populist id: He did not wait till the streams of emigrant wagons began to line the highways; he commenced business early and opened out in the state house the most complete information bureau and employ- ment agency ever organized in the state, mM ing the Populists. Breidenthal’s plan was to hold the popu- list voters in the state until after the elec- tion. He was willing for the republicans to so on to the Ozark regions of southern Mis- souri or northern Arkansas, Breidenthal aired a letter which he sent to the chair- of the populist county committee in every county in the drouth-st ‘ken district, instructing them to a their western brothers. To these commit- teemen he appealed for mes of well-to-do populist farmers, who had land for rent, stock to feed, corn to gather, or work of character that thed&n western Kansas could do. Soon letters began to paur State committee from tunate farmers nto the populist stern Kansas com- initteemen of farmers who s labor for their western Breidenthal would send en of committ rounties of n K where the republicans had who Would deliver the they ready to start they knev where to go, and the re- sult is that several thor nd’ popu t vot- ers have been locat ong the eastern border in heretofore rj bath rongholds, For example, in Arfersbn county alone western ‘Kan. pofulists have been lonized. 1 are living on farms or nd ville end aré gener- | ally ther pqulist farmers of | the county. 0 yeas iho the republ [member of the legisiatu m county by 2 The west- are colonized ion of a populist on the Missouri Lina elected a republican by one ma- county, ty in Ninety wi odusters are ter-porarily camping in that county till election day, when they will 5 to the Ozark region of souther!

They heve not yet learned that Breidenthal has set a trap for them. Under his instructions every colonized voter from western Kan- sas tells the poll-maker that he is a re- publican, hence the showing of republican “gains” at headquarters. GE DEE Ex-Speaker Reed Was Misquoted. 2x-Speaker T. B.

WAITS Misfortunes That Followed the Suo- cessors of Jim Lane. A SORT OF SENATORIAL “HOODOO? The Kansas Statesman Has His Eyes on Peffer’s Seat. CURIOSITIES OF POLITICS Correspondence of The Evening Star. TOPEKA, Kan., October 15, 1894. Statesman though he is, John J. Ingalls is controlled in his political ambitions by the vein of superstition which runs through his peculiar nature. Were it not for this characteristic he would unquestionably be @ candidate for United States Senator be- fore the approaching session of the legisla- ture. He has been active in this campaign, making many appointments when he should have been at home under the care of his physician. But he has devoted his time to the campaign to forever set at rest, as he says, the charges of a coterie of political mandarins in Kansas that he is never in the front of the battle except when his own political eggs are in the basket. He de- clares from every platform that he is not a candidate for any office—“not now. He qualifies this statement, however, by an- nouncing that his seat is not yet vacant, and that he will deal with the long-whisk- ered statesman who retired him two years later, Ingalls fears fate, and considers any Kan- sas senatorial succession except that of Peffer a “hoodoo.” Misfortune and sudden death have followed the footsteps of every man but Martin in the place originally held by the brilliant, though unscrupulous Jim Lane, and even the latter's title is clouded. Ingalls looks back over this long line of unfortunates with fear and trembling. This well-grounded superstition in his make-up manifested itself on the death of Senator Plumb. When it was suggested that Gov. Humphrey appoint Ingalls as the man best equipped for the vacancy, the ex-Senator very promptly put a stop to gossip in that direction, He served notice on his friends that he did not propose to ride back’ into the Senate on a hearse. Were it not for his absolute refusal -ngalls could enter the senatorial race today, and win over any of the candidates now mentioned, because the people take pride in his career in ihe United States Senate. A Chain of Misfortune. Ingalls’ decision will not appear strange to people who are the least bit superstl- tious, especially after they are familiar with the unfortunate histcry of those who have been elected United States Senators | from Kansas as successors of the noted | Jim Lane. Lane came to Kansas from In- | diana, fresh from the halls of Congress. | He was a democrat, and voted and fought | for the Douglas bill for the House of Rep- resentatives whou the Kansas-Nebraska struggle was on. The free soil excitement in his district convinced him that re-elec- tion was impossible, and influenced him to cast his lot with the territory which he helped to create. He came to Kansas pos- sessed cf an unbounded ambition, and he | determined to gratify it by espousing the | cause which, in his opinion, after careful | observation, was destined to win. Lane | was a man of wonderful energy. He was | poor in purse and lax in morals. His rep- utation was unsavory, but his overpowering genius was equal to every emergency. Ob- stacles that would have been insurmounta- ble to the ordinary man were thrown light- ly from his path. His original intention was to organize the national democracy in the new state, and become its acknowledg- ed leader, but this he found to be imprac- ticable, and he soon allied bimself with the free state party, and at once forced recognition in its ccuneils. Lane's Tragic End. In 1861 he was elected United States Sen- ator for the short term of four years, and in 1865 wes re-elected. After his second election he took sides with President John- son in the open rupture between the Pres- ident and the republicans on the freed- men’s bureau and civil rights bill. He thought he saw the popular tide drifting that way, znd, with his accustomed alac- rity, anticipated what he thought would prove the popular sentiment of the people. For orce he made a miscalculation. He visited his home in Kansas in June, 1866, and received a cool recepticn from nearly 1! of his old friends and followers, who had up to this time given him an unques- tioned and unqualified support stopping little short of “homage. The scepter of his power was broken. He was no longer the political autocrat of Kansas. He could not brook the change. He became ill, then de- lirious, and after he had nearly recovered, on July 1, he went out riding with some friends at Leavenworth, placed a revolver to his mouth and sent a bullet through his braia. 1t devolved upon Governor Crawford to appoint a successor. He selected Edmond Ross, then a journeyman printer at ‘wrence, and when the legislature met he was elected to fill the unexpired term. Ross was a weak man and presented a striking contrast to his brilliant predecessor. He was a loyal republican and was looked upon as the personification of honesty. In the Sen- ate he made the same error that resulted in the downfall and tragic ending of Lane. He sympathized with President Johnson and voted “not guilty” in the impeachment trial. That act alone damned him for all time in the estimation of Kansas republi- cans and he became a political outcast. He found a refuge in the democratic party, but misfortune followed wherever he went. He was the democratic candidate for gov- ernor of Kansas in 1880, and shortly after his defeat he went to New Mexico, where he eked out a precarious existence as a com- positor, occasionally getting a tempo pesition as an editor. When Cleveland was elected President the first time he appointed Ross governor of the territory. His ad- ministration was a failure. He engendered party strife, made many enemies and few friends. When he retired from the execu- tive chair he was well nigh penniless, and moved to the little town of Deming, where he established a weekly newspaper. He lives there now, but has been compelled to dispose of his printirg office. The successor of Ross was Alexander Caldwell of Leavenworth, who still resides in that city. It was charged that Cald- well’s election was obtained by wholesale bribery and the Senate committee on priv- ileges and elections instituted an investiga- tion. The evidence brought eut was over- whelmingly against him, and before the committee submitted its report he was per- mitted to resign, thus saving himself the disg:ace of expulsion. He held the position a bg) more than two years. e Caldwell vacancy was filled by the appointment by Governor Osborn of Judge Robert Crozier, but when the legislature met in 1874 Governor James Harvey was elected for the remainder of the te: which was for two years. Harvey was net @ success as a Senator, and at the end of his term retired to private life. He was ~ SWAIM™~ ~~ PANACEA ~~~ = CURES - DISEASES OF THE BLOOD at og gee ye ca BLOOD POISON.

On New Year day, 18¥2, Governor Humphrey presented to Congress after having served five terms, with a commission as United States Senator. He served fourteen months, when the legislature elected John Martin to serve out what remained of Senator Plumb's term. Perkins was a candidate for the re- Publican caucus nomination, but was de- feated by Joseph W. Ady. He again be- came a candidate for the republican caucus nomination this year, and was in Topeka to attend the republican state convention last Jure. He then went to Washington, where he died almost as suddenly as Plumb, be- fore the end of the month. John Martin is the only democrat who ever represented Kansas in the United States Senate, and there is a cloud on the tile to his seat. He was elected by the populists, with the assistance of a few democrats. He fs a candidate for re-elec- tion, but the chances are greatly against him, as he has lost the confidence of the Populists because of his support of Presi- dent Cleveland in the Senate, and they de- clare that rather than give him their sup- port for a second term they will assist a republican. Martin had been home but a few days when he was called to the death bed of his favorite son. Added to this sor- row, ts the serious tliness of his wife. It is doubtful if he takes any part in the cam- paign, so keenly does he feel his affliction. ‘The Lane senatorial succession will, then, fall to scme one else, and ex-Senator In- galls is determined that it shall not be him. There are, however, many men, both in the populist and republican parties, who are anxious to tempt fate, and the contest ts as spirited as it would be if all who had oc- cupied the cnair had enjoyed the most pleasant and sucoessful careers. Unlike Ingalls, their yearning for senatorial honors overcomes their superstition. nee THE WORLD OF POLITICS. Hugh J. Grant Takes the Nomination Declined by Nath: Stra Hugh J. Grant was named as Tammany’s candidate for Mayor, vice Nathan Straus, withdrawn, at the meeting of the executive committee in Tammany Hall yesterday af- ternoon. The ex-mayor said in the morning that he would not accept a nomination, but he changed his mind after a long conference with a committee composed of Senator J. W. Plunkitt, chairman; Pat. Keenan, John Reilly, J..T. Carroll, T. E. Sullivan, J. W. Royle and Michael C. Murphy, who had tracked him there and urged him to make the race. He went direct to Tammany Hall, where the executive committee soon after- ward went into executive session and named him as the organization's candidate for mayor. Mr. Grant's response, as follows: “My determination to accept 1s based upon conditions which 1 will hereafter state, so that there can be no mistake about my po- sition. I had determined never to take pub- lic office againg but as I favored the nomi- nation of Mr. Straus, I feel that I am some- what responsible for his being named. I feel extremely sorry for the course Mr. Straus has taken. But as Mr. Straus has declined, and you have been so extremely kind to me, I will show my appreciation of it by accepting the nomination. My condi- tions are that such candidates now on the ticket whose candidacy I regard as injudi- cious shall be removed from the ticket.” The committee then escorted Mr. Grant around to Tammany Hall. It. was an- nounced that a new platform had been pre- pared expressly for Mr.Grant. This new plat- form attacks first the apportionment provid- ed for in the constitutional amendment and says democrats must fight against so unjust a division of district representation. The Sherman silver bill is held responsible for the recent hard times and the platform also denounces the A. P. A. Senator Hill at Buffalo. Senator Hill was given an enthusiastic re- ception last right at Music Hall, Buffalo, N. ¥., where 5,000 people had congregated. When Senator Hill and Hon. Daniel N.
