MR. HARRISON AND THE
CHILIAN COMPLICATION.
The Headquarter of the Farmers' Allli
anee. Instruction Cabled to Minister ;
Egaa. ftenator-EIeet Palmer on the x
Mtnatlw In flew York.
The headquarters of the National
Farmers Alliance, always a busy
place, now reminds one of the national
committee rooms of one of the political
parties 1 during a Presidential cam
paign ; there is ' the same hurry and
bustle and the running in and out of
telegraph messenger boys " with dis
patches. An official .dispatch from
President Polk, who. is now in Califor
nia reports that the Alliance in that
State now has a greater voting strength
than either of the'poliiical parties, its
membership having grown .in about,
thirteen months to more than 100,000
The same dispatch says that beyond
the shadow of a doubt - the Alliance
will elect the Presidential ; electors in
California next year. Dispatches from
various sections xf Ohio assert that
Senator Sherman is certain to be de'
feated and estimate that the people's
ticket, which although not formally
endorsed by the Alliance as an organ
ization gets its strength' from mem
bers of the Alliance, will pbll not far
short of fifty thousand votes. '
President Harrison and all ,'qi his
Cabinet are agreed that the" , . latest
Chilian complication the "mobbing
and imprisonment of' the TJ. S. Sailors
at Valparaiso is a very,; serious one.
Instructions have been cabled to Min
ister Egan, which include demands
for satisfaction, which while eminently
right and proper, this government
will not be in a position to enforce for
some time to come should the present
government of Chili see fit to refuse
them. We have only two vessels on
the spot, and the Boston, which sailed
on Saturday for Valparaiso, cannot
get there in less than " sixty days. It
was not realized until the official re
port was received here - how ' great an
insult had intentionally been inven
the American flag by the Chilian mob,
consequently the indignation is just
beginning to manifest itself among
the people, who express themselves as
being willing to stand by the adminis
tration in any method it may adopt to
obtain respect for the flag.

Torrxx. Kans., Oct. 25 The result
of the local contesU next month is
looked f oi ward to with great interest
by all parties. Aside from the coun
ty elections nine district judges are to
be chosen. . The fight or these places
is animated, and generally partisan
politics have been ruled tnt, i and,, (he
fight has narrowed down between the
two old parties against the Alliance,
or People's party. In several of these
districts non-partisan . conventions
were called and candidates nominated
with a view to defeating the People's
party candidate, to the end, sis claimed
by those participating, that the judici
ary of the Slate might not fall into
the hands of communistic judges. In
the other districts, where there are
three candidates, the Democrats nom
inated to prevent the members of that
party from voting the People's party
ticketi and the real intention of

The Democrats are divided in senti
ment. Many leaders are opposed to
showing the People's party any quar
ter. They cite the fact that by going
in with the Alliance last year they -came
very near wiping out the Demo
cratic party in this State, and if the -
experiment should be again . repeated
there would be no Democratic party
in the State. This opinion is not
shared by all of the leaders, however,
for many of them ' who have been in
the minority for the past quarter of a
century are willing to make any kind
of a combination that will down their
old-time enemy.
From the best information at hand
it is fair to say that both the Republi
cans and Democrats will gain" on the
vote of last year in proportion to the
vote polled. The vote polled for the
