POLK IN WASHINGTON.
Mo Talk* About Hie Rprcehe* and
Treatment Kiuu...... ~
la
Washington, Sept. 28. — President
Polk, of the National Fanner*’ Alliance,
has just returned from his western
trip, and to the inquiry as to what
foundation there was for the report in
the press that he was threatened with
violence while in Wichita, Kan., by the
old soldiers, lie said:
"There was no foundation for it
whatever. I never was treated more
kindly or courteously than by the
people of Kansas, and osjieciuUy by tlie
old soldiers during my whole trip. I
was peculiarly gratified at my reoep-
ceptfon by the good ix-oplo of Wichita,
and the large number of old soldiers
present. I spoke to an immense crowd
in the opera house, and was never
honored by more marked attention
anywhere. At the request of some of
my soldier friends, I referred to tbo
charge that I had mistreated Union
prisoners during the war. My lan¬
guage, as reported by The Wichita
Beacon, was this: ‘ I am charged with
mistreating Uuion prisoners dnring the
war, aud I want to say that in its
conception, in its niteranco and iu its
spirit, it is a malicious, premeditated
and base lie, and I dare the man who
said BO to stand up in this audience
and repeat it. I never captured but
one Union prisoner in my life, and if
he was here tonight he would bear
testimony to the fact that I treated liiia
as if he were my brother. *
"I never held a higher commission
than third lieutenant during the war.
I never was in command of any prisoner
Confederate or prison; indeed, never was inside a
feet unfairness prison. and To show the uiaui-
determined purpose
of the partisan press to misrepresent
me, it is a fact that certain southern
papers published the this lying dispatch,
containing brigadier statement that I was a
federate general in charge of the Con¬
knew that prison had ut Salisbury, when they
I never held the commis¬
sion of brigadier general, and were in¬
excusably know that I ignorant had if they had did not
the prison. I felt never safe in the charge of
of Wichita as streets
ns I would in the streets of
Raleigh, and naught but lavish kind¬
ness and courtesy greeted me on all
hands. Thi3 outrageous falsehood was
not only a slander on myself, but on the
diers good people of Wichita snd the old sol¬
double as well, and was gotten up for the
and purpose of perpetuating of damaging the Alli¬
ance judice. ” sectional pre¬
Ar, to the dispatches charging that he
apologised in ms speeches for having
gone into the Confederate service, and
spoke approvingly of a strike among the
cctton pickers of the south, Cokmel
Polk said: "ft is totally and unquali¬
fiedly false in every particular. I ut-
teied no sentiment in Kansas or else-
whoie, which, by any forced construc¬
tion, con Id have been distorted into any
such expression. It is a lie out of the
whole cloth. I have never uttered a
sentiment in a northern state that I
would not willingly repeat in any south¬
ern state.
As to the strike of the cotton pickers,
I had heard nothing ubout it until mv
return to this office. The public wifi
soon learn through the frantic efforts
of these jioliticiam how utterly unreli¬
able these sensational charges are. It
will be remembered that as late as the
month of July General Weaver and
the Conjrersmrn Simpson went through
stale of Georgia on a canvassing
tour. kindness They were received with the Ut¬
most and cordiality, and yet
they had not reached their’respective
hemes before it was heralded to the
world that their lives were threatened
by the old rebels, and that actually
night they had time to make they their escaps in the
or would have been
mobbed, blander and misrepresenta¬
tion count for naught against reason
and truth. As in the past, I shall con¬
tinue to stand firmly and faithfally by
the All..-inco cause and its principles,
and will not be deterred from what I
conceive to be my duty by such attacks. ”

The same authority added: "The

The actual arrivals of corn in New
