In making up our forms we omitt ed the following from Inglesbe, Learner notice Empire state. Coming to Kansas in 1871 he was one- of the first settlers of Onaga. In 1893 he was associated with J. W. Dunn in the confectionary business, until he engaged in his present enterprise last March GOLD STANDARD.

Tho nartv seeks to gain a little strength by indirectly approving of the course of Altsreld during tho great Pullman strike. "We denounce arbitrar interference by Federal authorities in local as a violation of. the constitution of the Unied States and a crime against free institutions." What does that sentence mean? Is there any danger of the government, invading the rights of the state or local authorities? Why this apprehension? When has the rights of a state ever been invaded by the general: government? Is it possible that the convention meant that sending troops into the state of Illinois, to enforce the" United State-laws; was arbitrary interference.

Is there not an inkling of state sovereignity in that declaration? Can it be that the old principle of state sovereignity, that caused so much misery and suffering during four long years Ir-if Kcrnln tn ho hmnflit. ito-s Tn that nlatform i.s a bidioii iiifc vlS oi iree irauers a mi xyr: i uv vote of free silver, a bid for ppulhst votes, an ambiguous declaration to eaten toe "votes or conservative pro tectionists and finally, a bid for the votes of the anarchist element Chicago. Surely such a platform ought win. It is of nearly as much importance to the Republican party to gain, control of the senate as to elect thePresi- ont. There will be ninety senators, forty-six are necessary for a majority.

Che republicans have thirty-one sen- itors whose terms expire in 1899 and 1901. The term of twelve republi- an senators expire in 1S97. They ivill probably be succeeded by them- erres or other republicans giving hat party forty -three. In addition a these two senators already chosen, one each from Ohio anil: Maryland will give the republican party forty- Ive senators. There is good reason to believe that Peffer of Kansas and Kyle of South pDakota will be succeeded by republicans also that Palmer of Illinois, rVilas of Wisconsin, Vorhees of In- lliaiii will be succeeded by republicans.

The republicans have reasonably good chances for one senator in jCew York and Missouri each and the jracant Delaware senatorship may be filled by a republican. 1 Should the republicans elect the president and the lower house and the senate remain as it is, it would be an fmpty victory as an effectual blocade of all legislation relating to the tariff br currency could be maintained by ht -It-is hardly- probable however that the senate' will remain it now is. ere is Cleveland?
