    THE ALLIANCE SPEAKERS
A "WHEEL-HORSE OF THAT PARTY
HI 8 RESPECTS TO THEM.
FAYS
An Honest Farmer and Alliance Member
Who Cannot Obey the Mandates
of the Party Bosses.
A TRUTHFUL EXPOSITION'.
The meeting at the opera house last
Monday was concluded in the evening
by the lynx-eyed Gantt, who vomited
forth his steretyped declamation, like a
volcano, that buries beneath its ashes
everything at its feet The concluding
appeal of Gantt, was that the people of
Lincoln county should save themselves
from the collection of debts by criminal
prosecution.
But few years ago, T. F. Gantt edited
a railroad organ in North Platte, and
. was a most supplicating vassel to the
Union Pacific corporation nnd its at
taches. Gantt was then a Republican;
he then went to Dakota and became a
Democrat, then to Washington and be
came an attache of a Republican admin
istration, then a Knight of Labor, and
now he poses in Nprth Platte as a labor
lawyer, who in all these years, has never
done a days work that anybody knows
of. During his late residence in North
Platte, he has paid no attention to farm
ers until the independent movement of
the farmers alliance developed itself,
when, seeing the independent movement
in connection with the farmers alliance,
-he "embraced it in his arms" and pro
ceeded to get his now horse groomed
and saddled, and get some countryman
to mount and see if it was gentle, when
"he himself would ride it into office.
Gantt's first advent in the political
arena was in the independent county
convention to nominate delegates to the j
state convention, where he proposed that
.five delegates should be chosen to re
present ten, himself being included; ten
-delegates were chosen, eight of whom
attended the convention. His next ap
pearance was at the senatorial conven-
Tentjon, which he run in the interests
of the alliance and himself, securing a
committee report that the convention
adjourned to reconvene by one delegate
representing each county, and give him
lime to see whether the horse was fit for
lata, to ride.
Again he turns up in the county con
tention and folds himself across his
stomach and weeps over the farmers and
-states to them that as the office of coun
ty attorney must be filled by a lawyer,
""there is Snelling and myself, we being
the only lawyers .belonging to the order,
ire are the only ones that can be nomi
Tiated. I don't want it. Snelling must
"take it" So Snelling submits to the de
cree of destiny. Well now the alliance
- has two lawyers instead of one. lawyer?
:no, he is Snelling, an old Illinois police
man, constable, esquire and a probable
Grover Cleveland, that is, if he can
gather flesh.
Gantt don't want to bo county attor
ney. No. ho can do better. He has got
51 bill before the c .unty for $309 for
three days work in court. How many
lanners can make $303 in three years?
The commissioners refuse to allow the
I) ill; the farmers' alliance has put in a
protest and Gantt has brought suit
against the county. He has canvassed
the lawyers for support. Wilcox says
that it is his duty, as attorney, to defend
the peoplo and he will do his duty.
Now comes the two labor lawyers.
Oh, the brotherly love there is between
them. They must protect each other's
interests. Gantt must have his three
hundred dollars, and as Snelling has
never had but two cases in court, which
he had to get help to conduct, there is
his first friend Gantt at his elbow; he
can assist and get his three hundred
dollars as often as he gets a chance, and
the alliance it can smile.
Now then comes Gantt on collecting
debts by criminal law, and while he rants
he. slips his hand down in the alliance
pocket and takes out 53C0 for three days
work.
There was. not a principle established
. at Monday's meeting that posteL jwitbe
,76couchea in different language and
endorsed by every Republican in Lin
coln county. The only difference be
tween the alliance ana the Republican
-party as demonstrated by last Monday's
meeting, was the dialect peculiar to the
alliance, and the fact that the alliance
has abandoned its known leadors in the
Republican party to follow leaders who
came yesterday and may go to-morrow.
ItCuch as good men may have hoped for
xrood to come from the alliance move
ment, the truth seems apparent, that
the alliance in this county does not
possess the essential elements of manly
integrity to render it capable of self-
government, and that as a passive
element, it has surrendered to the posi
tive and crafty influences that have
been cast around it, and it is today as
much under the control of politicians and
lawvers, as it was in the organization of
the Republican party.
"A Farmer who was There."
f '
The alliance rally Monday did not
bring out as large a crowd of farmers as
the managers of the affair had hoped it
would. At one o'clock in the afternoon
the parade, headed by the North Platte
Cornet Band, passed along Spruce street
twice. Judge Snelling, a la circus ring
master, was perched high upon the band
wagon announcing the meeting. Several
. curious gentlemen made a count' of the
voters who participated in -the parade,
and the exact number .was fifty-two,
which included Kem pd Powers. - The
aoBCOurse stopped at Lloyd's opera
house, where ie speaking was to take
place. A 'small audience greeted the
speakers, Powers" and Iem. While Mr.
Powers was speaking the water works
whistlA sounded an alarm of fire, and
materially reduced the number of his
-auditc f . In the evening a good-sized
. crowd attended the meeting and listened
to speeches by Stevens, Kem, Powers and
Gantt The faky Dorsey dispatch was
nailed on the wall at the opera house and
also occupied a position an the band
wagon during the parade. The man who
had it put there knew that it was a lie,
but desperate measures had to be re
sorted to to make votes for Kem, and it is
doubtful if this fake will bo as oil upon
the troubled waters. One thing to be
said in favor of the audience at the opera
house Monday night is that they did not
appreciate T. Fulton Gantt's denuncia
tion of the protective policy of this
government Their intelligence was too
great for Lawyer Gantt to hoodwink
them on this point
THAT WORLD-HEKALI) DISPATCH.
Last week the Omaha World-Herald
published the following dispatch, claim
ing that it had proof of its correctness
Fremont, Neb., Oct 20. M. S. Quay,
Beaver Falls, Pa. Have manufacturers
quote lower prices, and denv that the
mcnimey 0111 raises prices, ir mis is
not done it will cost thousands of votes
ih Nebraska. G. W. R Dorsey
At the time the same appeared in the
W-EL, Mr. Dorsey was in this section
of the state and did not see the fake un
til he returned to Fremont, whereupon
he sat down and wrote the following
denial:
Fremont .Neb., October 26. C. H.
Gere, Lincoln, Neb. Returned home
from the extreme western part of the
state. I brand as infamouslv and malic
iously false the telegram to Senator
Quay published in the World-Herald,
aery Mr. Hitchcock to prove that I
sent such a telegram to anyone.
Geo. W. E. Dorsey.
Will the World-Herald now produce
its proof? Well, scarcely. It was one of
those fakes which Mr. Hitchcock alone
is guilty of perpetrating upon an hon
orable man.
When the fire alarm sounded Monday
a- prominent Democrat came out of the
.spera house and declared that it was
"mose d d Republicans trying to break
up our Democratic meeting."

uur people were very much sur
prised on Tuesday afternoon of last week
to learn that C. C. Noble, the boot and
shoe dealer, had made a voluntary
assignment to the sheriff. Mr. Noble
had been doing business in the city for
several years and tho supposition
was that he was doing a good business
and making some money. It now ap-
peure mat air. iooie nao oeen running

to assign a year ago but was urged by
one oi nis c realtors to remain m business
and he would eventually come out all
right This advice was accepted, but
matters aid not grow better and in
order to give all creditors an equal
chance to realize part of their claims, he
assigned as above stated. The total-liabilities
are placed at $8,870, and the
assets, consisting of stock, invoice nhnnt:
$6,000. The heaviest creditor is th
American Hand Sewed Shoe Co., of
Omaha, whose claim is 87.236.77. Tt i
likely the latter comnanv will huv th
other claims and continue the business
until the stock is sold. Mr. Noble will
remain in the city, but we believe is not
certain what he will do.
AND STILL ANOTHER.
ENTHUSIASTIC
Editor Cunningham, of Kearney, Gives
an Idea of the Cost or Township'
Orgaalxation.
The Tribune publishes below a letter
from U. a. Uunningham, editor oi the
Kearney Daily Journal-Enterpise, which
throws light on the enormous expense
attached to township organization.
Thirty supervisors cost Buffalo county
$3,000 to $4,500 per year; or by splitting
the difference between the above figures
we have $125 per vear for each super
visor. Lincoln county has at present
forty-two precincts, each of which would
be represented by a supervisor. It is
only to transact the business of Lincoln
county as it does that oi .Buffalo, and as
a result we have a total expense of
$5,250 per year. Now this amount rep
resents the minimum if the supervisors
form the county into townships as they
are privileged by law the result would
be seventy-two supervisors at a cost of
$9,000 yearly to tho county.
Now is Lincoln county in a condition
to support such a system of government?
Why, certainly not If, in the light of
the facts The Tribune has presented
during the past three weeks, the voters
of this county cast their ballots in favor
of township organization and the proposi
tion is adoptedjthey will never cease kick
ing themselves. Every county that has
adopted the system is heartily tired of it.
and there are at least five counties in the
state which will re-submit the question
at tho approaching election, and they
do so in every case because the cost is
so enormous that it threatens the coun
ties with bankruptcy.
Kearney, Neb., Oct 25, 1890,
Editors Tribune.
Dear Sirs: Some time ago a letter
was received from you asking my opinion
of township organization, after a trial
of several years in this county.
At the time we adopted township or
ganization I favored the measure, be
lieving we would have more judicious
legislation and perhaps in the end cost
no more than did the old method of
commissioner system. Experience has
changed my mind. It is a bunglesomo,
unwieldy, costly body. The coming
year we shall have thirty-three men on
the board. They sit a week or ten days
in January, three weeks in June, then
in March, August, September and No
vember, from three days to a week
each, making all told from thirty to
forty-five days, at a cofit of $100 per days,
amounting to from $3,000 to $4,500 an
nual expense. I see no practical bene-
Jit therefrom over the commissioner
system. There is not one case in-twenty-
hve where the board refuses to adopt
the report of the committee of three or
five. Then why have thirty odd merely
to always approve of the action of three?
I would favor township organization
except the supervisor part of it Let
each township opyern its own affairs as
far as practical with their board of trus
tees, town clerk, town treasurer, etc., but
let the county be governed by five com
missioners each representing more di
rectly a commissioner district But by
all means I would not again support
town organization as we have it It is
bunclesome. expensive, worthless and
nonsensical. Respectfully yours,
L. B. Cunningham.

Editors Tribune: -As.time for

kind of an alliance are we advocating? Ueans of making a few

usr What Kind or a political and busi
ness future are we looking forward to?
The answer comes back; wo have no
plans; we are being assessed for even-
conceivable thing. Farmers are asked
to pay fifty cents each, which would
raise about 8300, to pay the expenses of
one or two delegates to tho state con
vention, although many of the f&rmers
assessed this need the fifty cents to buy
necessaries of lifo. Another fifty cents
from poor as well as rich farmers is ask
ed that Beatty, Stockton and othere
may travel through tho county for a
month abusing their neighbors, and for
which they charge and receive 8125, ac-
coraing to me testimony oi people who
know. Fifty cents each is asked again
for the purpose of hiring brass bands.
and to the end that Powers, Kem and.
other candidates may ride in carriages.
All this money, about $2.50 from each
farmer, equals $1,500 to bo divided up
among the combine. No wonder man.
of the farmers say we would be bettei 3
satisfied if we .know where tho
went to. I can tell you brother farmer
that it won't co towards buvinc shoes
for the children; it won't go towards'
buving a calico dress for vour wife or'1
girls, nor will it help you in a "business
or political way. If the leadors of the
alliance movement are honest, why
didn't they endorso Daughertv for state
senator, who is a good alliance man withi
an anti-monopoly record equjil to any
man in the state? Why didn?t thev en
dorse Farmer, who is an alliance" man'
with clean hands and an honest purpose?'
Why did they put up Snelling, whose
qualifications for the office to which he
aspires are doubted even bv the men
who will vote for him? Is it not plain
that the alliance men aro being handled
to suit the taste of autocrat Qantt? It
certainly is, and for these reasons I am
compelled to repudiate the alliance or
ganization, which if properly handled
would redound to the benefit of all members.

Tho report that has been circulated
by the leaders of the alliance tothe

prove that Wilcox has acted as attorhev

W. H. Gatward, the popular meat
market man, is something of a hunter,
and he is in his glory hen ho can tako
a lav off and sally forth with his English
money- fowljng pieco. Last week he concluded
ho would go out and bring in a wagon
load or two of ducks and prairie chick
jens. He met with good success and
'while in the neighborhood of the
Hershey ranch at Cottonwood he spied
something other than a prairie chicken
it was a deer. For a second he was
dazed, butquickly recovering his nerve
lie took aim and fired. Down tumbled
the deer in a heap, shot through the
heart. Then when Gatward examined
the animal and found what a pretty
creature it was, ho was sorry that he had
caused its death, but felt much worse
when Ed. Rabbitt, foreman of the
Hershey ranch, walked up and informed
him that he had shot his (Rabbitt's) pet
deer. It is still in order to work Gat
ward for a cigar.
. Tho Republicans of Brady precinct
held a meeting at Brady Island Saturday
night. Although tho meeting had not
been advertised very extensively, a good
sized audience of intelligent voters was
present. John Jewett presided, and
the first speaker called was R F. For
rest. He was followed by W. C. Elder,
John I. Nesbitt, H. JVI. Grimes and But
ler Buchanan. At the conclusion of Mr.
Buchanan's talk J. Coleman,the precinct
constable and door-keeper for an alliance,
came to tho front and told how he had
been worked by Wm. Beatty for funds
to pay that gentleman's salary and to
send delegates to conventions, and now
ho had begun to wonder how he was to
get the worth of his money. All the
speakers of tho evening made good
speeches setting forth tho advantages
offered by the Republican party to the
farmers and wage-earners. The meet
ing was certainly a great success. The
audience was largely composed of farm
ers, and the frequent applause shows that
Mr, Beatty had not reckoned his host
when he stated that there would be but
five Republican votes in the precinct.

Isn't it about time, when a rebel
general like Pojk of Tennessee boasts
that ho is the father of tho alliance
movement in the south and that it was
started for the purpose of killing off the
Grand Army of the Republic, for honest
men of all parties to stop and ponder
before they leap into the Demo-alliance
vortex? General Polk openly boasts that
6iich is the purpose of the alliance in the
south. There are too many good G. A.
R. Democrats and alliance men in the
north and south to countenance any
thing of the kind, and they will not
when thoy get their eyes open.

The hard fight which attorney Gantt
is making both publicly and privately
against W. T. Wilcox, candidate for
county attorney, proves without doubt
that his object to defeat Wilcox is to
prevent his $300 suit for attorney fees
against Lincoln county being defeated,
which it surely will if Wilcox is elected.
Why was it that Snelling mentioned
this suit in his speech of acceptance
before the alliance convention if it were
not for the fact that it had been talked
over by Snelling and Gantt before the
convention assembled?
Do not fail to call and see the qual

If Stevens is elected senator from
this district it will be by Democratic
votes everybody must admit thie. Now
such being the case, is it not proper to
assume that Stevens when in the senate
will be the cats-paw of the Democrats?
Will he not cast his vote with that side
of tho house? Will he not be bound to
reciprocate tho favor tho Democrats
showed him when they elected him?
Why certainly; and Stevens knows that
he will be under obligations to that
party. Why not voto for a candidate
who for years past has been an alliance
advocate, such as M. A. Daugherty? Do
the Republican farmers realize what
they are doing? It seems they do not.
