THE ALLIANCE-INDEPENDENT. An Alliance Picnic. About 1500 people turned out to the alliance picnic in Gillette's grove three mi'es south of Shelby in Polk county. Music was furnished by tho Shelby brass band, and songs by the Apollo glee club of Stromsburg. Hon. J. V. Wolfe addressed the crowd in a very able speech in the fore noon. After the crowd had made way with a grand picnic dinner, Judge Wheeler spoke. He was followed by I. D. Chamberlain who made oce of ihe b3st speeches "of his life, The county attorney of Polk, and uncle Charley Walker of Butler also made short speeches. All the speeches were re ceived with many signs of approval The sale of privileges on the ground netted about $75 for the campaign fund. Much credit is due Mr. Gillette the owner of the grove for his hospitality, and Mr. H. 13. Linton president of the organization for his efforts in making the picnic a grand success. People's Independent State Conventions. The peoples independent electors of the state or Nebraska are requested to elect and eend delegates from their several counties to meet in convention at the city of Lincoln, 'inured Ay. June 30, 1892, at 10 o'clock a. in., for tho purpose of selecting eight delegates at largo to the People's National convention, to be held In Omaha, Neb July 4,1892. And also to elect delegates to the state convention to be held at Kearney, Neb., Wednesday .August 3 .1892, at 8 o'clock p. m to nominate the following state officers, viz; Governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, treas urer, attorney-general, auditor.commissioner of public lands and buildings and superin tecdentof pubJle instiuction. The basis of representation will be the same in both con ventions and the same delegates may act for both conventions, or two sets of delegates may be elected as counties may determine at their county conventions. The basis of representation will be one delegate for every one hundred votes or ma jor fraction thereof cast in 1891 for Hon. J. W. Edgerton for Judge of the supreme court, which gives the following vote by counties: Adams Antelope Banner Blaine Boone Boyd Box Butte Brown Buffalo Butler Burt Cass Cedar Chase Cheyenno Cherry Clay Colfax Cuming CuBter Dakota Dawes Dawson Deuel Dixon Dodge DouglaS Dundy Fillmore Franklin Frontier Furnas Gage Garfield Gosper Grant Greeley Hall Hamilton Harlan Hayes Hitchcock Hooker Holt Howard While tho committee do not feel it best to lay down any definite test as to who should be allowed to i ote at the primary elections to elect delegates to the various conventions, as any test would not work equally well in all localities, yet we would urge upon county and precinct committeemen, and all having the primaries in charge, to adopt such rules and tests as will best secure a fair expression of the independent voters of the state. The question of Beiecting delegates to the National convention to which the coagres 6iontil districts are entitled is left to the dis tricts themselves, either to call congressional conventions in their respective districts or to select them by districts at Lincoln at the state convention, at ihe Fame lime the dele gates are selected to represent the state at largo. We would recommend that no proxies be allowed at either convention, but that the delegates present cast the full vote to whica the stato or county is entitled. We woulul also recemmend that the pri maries for electing delegates to the County conventions be hbld Thursday, June 23, 1892, and that tho County conventions be held Saturday, June 25, 1892. J. V.
