THE ALLANCE-INDEPENDENT. 13 (Continued from Paoe J.) party in power, under whose banner the whito people of the South are now marshalling themselves, this vexed question will be settled forever. It is certain that the people of the South will not join the ranks of the Republi can party. It is equally certain that the ItepubTdans will not unite with the Democratic party. TflE ONLY REMEOV4 The People's party affords the only solu'ion of these important matters; they who desire the revival of bus'ness all who witih for the return of prosperity to our country; a 1 who desire to relieve the deprosed industries and wage workers of our common country; all who desire an adequato increase of cur rency and free coinage of silver; all who desire the abolition of banks of issue and the constitutional control of the great instruments of commerce by the government of the United Stits; all who desire that the laws of taxation shall be equitably adjusted to the pro perty of the country; all who desire that the public domain shall be sacred ly held in trust for the people; all who desire that the highways between the states shall bo rendered subservient to the popular good; and, finally, all who desire the restoration in all sections, of fraternity among the poople and the obliteration of sectional animosities, should at once regard it as their con fcientious duty to align themselves un der the banner of this great industrial fraternal movement. APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE. It seems to us to bo quite impossible that the liberty and justice loving poo ple of this country phould longer cast ineir oauuis iur uiu uurpurauuus nu monpy changers. It would seem im possible that they should refuse to make common cause with the fair minded majority of the white people of the South who have risen up to demand justice and good government in their respective states, and it further seems impossible that the producers and laboring population of the United States shall deliberately go to the polls in November and cast their votes in harmony with the corporations and the money power, who have systematically and cruelly robbed them for so m'iny yeirs; vote in harmony with tlieir des poilers, who make war against even their right to organize for trie protec tion of themselves and families. THE THREATENING DANGER. "With the aggressions of cap tal on the one hand, and the overthrow by fraud of free elections on the other, how is it possible for our civilization to last? The new pirty has its face turn ed to the glorious future. It is its sub lime mission to usher in an era of fra ternity and justice among men. In the presence of such an opportunity to emancipate our country from misrule of every kind, .let party lines be for gotten and let the generous Hame of a common patriotism nerve every neart and move every soul. Signed, James B. Weaver. James G. Field. A G. 0. P. Trick. Cook, Neb., Sept. 17, 1892, The. people's party picnic at Cook Neb. the lt'th, inst was a partial failure owing to the fact that our political enemies played a most dastardly trick to keep the people away. The grounds had just been vacated by the United Brethren camp meeting, and was well seated, etc. Our people had engaged all stands and sea's for our picnic On the morning of the picnic early everything wa? removed so when the committee reached the grounds at 8 o'clock to see that all was right, tuere was nothing there ana before they could get the grounds in readiness again a great many who came and found no one there and no preparations went away. It was near'y noon before the seats and stands could b replaced; consequently the audience was small But nevertheless the speaking was good Mr. Jerome Shamp made a good speech and demonstrated to thoso who heard him the reason why Brvan and Field refused to cross swords with him. He (Shamp) has the facts and knows how to present them and that is just what the old demo-republican c mbine does not want at the present time. Ohl but they die hard their convulsions and spasmodic efforts are desperate. Respectfully, W. P. Brooks, ANSELMO'S BALLY. Hon- James Whitehead Pulverized by Superintendent Hiatt. The independent rally at Ansel mo, Sept. 10, was a gala day for tho popu list. Tho roasted ox was a grand success. Tho day was cold and rainy but desp'te tho inclement weather a largo and en thusiastic crowd gathered. The Gates band with Uncle Stillman handling the ribbons was on hand and furnished ex cellent martial music. A challenge had bsen sent the. g. o. p. to divide time, but it hid not been accepted. We were notified by one of the g. o. p. that Whitehead could not be present, but ho (Whitehead) finding out Kera would not bo here, came at tho cleveuth hour. When time had arrived for our speakers to begin we were waited upon by a committee of republicans to make arrangements to divide timo with their speakers, Simon Cameron and James Whitehead. Tho following proposi tions were made them: Cameron 45 minutes to open, Stock ham 45 to follow, Whitehead 45, Hiatt 45 to close. Thi they did not accept. They made a proposition then as fol lows: Stockham to open 45, Cameron 45, Hiatt 45, Whitehead 45 to close, which was rejected by us. While this bickering, was going on. the crowd was becoming impatient. Mr. Stockham was then introduced and delivered a masterly and convincing speech. Supt. Hiatt then took the stand and had talked about 30 minutes when the following challenge was sent in and accepted: ''Give me 20 minu'.es and you may have all afternoon to reply. J. Whitehead." Mr. Hiatt at once accepted the chal lensre and the fun began. Mr. Whitehead prefaced his remarks by saying that the republicans nad no right to claim any advantage as a challenged party since the challenge sent them had never been accepted. Then he began his usual speech of platitudes and 4th cf July oratory. He devoted what time he could to de fending the present tariff law citing tho people to tho time of free trade when people had become so op pressed they could not pay their taxes But he dil not tell that we were thn standing on a hard money bisis or that tho records show a greater number de linquent tax payers in his own county. All the latter part of h:s speech he seemed to be listening for time to be called, but as the time-keeper kept num he sat down and failed to fill out his twenty minutes. We expect to hear a great howl from the g- o p. press about prejudice and all that being shown and not giving time enough. When the fact is and I th nk every ono who was present will bear mo out in this assertion: 7 he lion. James had more Urn, at his disposal than he could make use of. Supt Hiatt then followed and in less time than it took Whitehea! to tell his old tariff and homestead fctory, Hiait had pounded his arguments into powder and then turning upon Whitehead he put question after question to bim and dared him or any republican to answer. When the debate closed Whitehead made a precipitate retreat to the hotel with his head down and without com ment. It was a crushing defeat for the re publican nominee against Hon. (). M. Kem. We predict that Kem wi'l not leave enough of htm to tell the story when he meets Whitehead in joint dis cussion. Mokal: Don't run a bluff on our boys. H. M. McKee, Chairman.
