TlfE ALLI ANCE - INDEPENDENT. 5 The People Rally Around Shamp Syracuse, Neb., Sept. 17. Editor Alliance-Independent: The grand rally of the people's party took place here last night. It was the closing day of lhe Otoe county fair. The opera house was jammed with earnest farmers, business men and ladies. Fully COO people were present. The silver cornet band discoursed fine music. Hon. W S. Prickett of Fair field delivered the opening speech and his remarks were attentively listened to for an hour and a half. Hon. Jerome Shamp followed in a masterly presentation of the moment ous questions before the people. The enthusiastic audience frequently mani fested their pleasure by rounds of applause. His presentation of the silver question was masterly. Ho showed the barren legislation for a quarter of a century in favor of com mon people in a striking manner. A campaign republican lawyer in the au dience when Mr. Shamp was showing how little lhe republican party had done for the old soldier, jumped up ex citedly and help up a paper which was supposed to be a pension paper and ex c aimed that this is what he had ob tained from the republican party. Mr. Shamp very coolly and moderately wanted to know what he had. He said he had a pension certificate. Mr. Shamp asked him if he was not en titled to it; if he earned it in defense of the country. ' Under such circumstances, do you think," said he, "that you o we your pension to the republican parly? Wby my dear friend, a grateful country would have given you your pension if you were en titled to it, and no political party can claim that it is the only party friendly to the old soldiers." It is impossible to describe the rounds of applause that greetc d this reply. The lawyer quietly dropped back in his seat and was not heard from any mora during the evening. The more the campaign progresses in this district, the more evident it appears that the people are becoming dissrusted with both Bryan and Field, and that Hon Jerome Shamp will represent this dis tnct in consrress. lie is the only one of the three candidates that is an old grand army mau, and they are rallying to his support irrespective of party mi v. l ; "i j 1 - v.. lutJ repuunuaus aim ueiuucrjus nave tried several times to hold political meetings here but it has been in vain.
