Republicans Claim Ady Elected U S Senator in Kansas
Torexa Kan January 30 Republicans assert they elected a United States senator in a joint session, contending populist house members were not legally sworn and thus had no vote. Ady would receive credentials from Speaker Douglas and the senate, then go to Washington to claim the seat now held by Perkies, while populists nominate Judge John Martin. Efforts to establish a cotton ginning plant using the Munger system are planned in Troy, Alabama, with prospects for a stock company and private investment if needed. The system promises cleaner samples, fewer leaves and stains, and easier handling from wagon to bale, reducing labor in ginning and benefiting farmers.
