Governor-elect Leedy, of Kan sas, has declared for the permanent union of the fusionists in his State and announces that loyalty to the silver cause will be his test in exercising his appointive power. He has appointed a Silver Republican as his private secretary.

The Eastern newspapers are making vicious attacks on Gov-ernor-elect Rogers, of Washington. He has given the railroads in his state to understand that the freight laws were made to be obeyed, hence the howl emitted by the organs of the owners of said roads. Rogers is a Populist and is all right.

The Kansas press dwell at length on the need of the incoming administration in that State being free from all weakness and mistakes.

Only one delegate Is instructed for Peffer, and the many papers are calling for an expression from the people.

Thos. Reed, the one time “Czar,” has begun to show signs of his old spirit.

Carnegie at present controls the manufacture and sale of steel rails, and this new concern claims to be able to put them on the market fifty per cent cheaper than they are furnished at present. Until we can handle them by law, we are glad to see the trusts fight one another.

President Cleveland has been sending a mutual friend to Justice Field to see if that old gentleman, who it is claimed has been incompetent to fulfill any duty attached to his office for ten years or more, would not resign; but the Justice “talked back real mean” and said he would not resign, that Cleveland should never appoint his successor, etc. —and now we are wondering what the President will do with Carlisle for whom it is understood he must provide before retiring.

It seems as if we were not only on a one metal basis but that our government, for the next four years, is to be a one man affair. Hanna has announced to a chosen few in Washington City, that an extra session of Congress will convene the 15th of March, ’97. Claims are made that he has also given assurance of the passage of the Huntington Refunding Bill, during the next six weeks. Time will show if this be true.
