Republican Convention Notes.
R. E, Moor, republican candidate
for senator, was formerly of the law
firm of Marquette, Cobb & Moore. He
is president-of the Union Savings bank.
He probably takes as much interest in
the business of the farmers of Lancas
ter as any other man in the county.
Geo. Eggleston, candidate for sena
tor, is the president of the bank at Ben-
nett, and a Buriington grain shipper.
The banks and railroads when making
their nominations, seem to think that
bankers and money sharks are alone
able to represent them, in which they
are probably right.
It seems strange that they couldn't
find an old soldier in Lancaster county
worthy of a place on their legislative
. ticket.
The U. P. railroad demanded two
members of the legislature, in response
to which demand U. P. Oakley and
John Gillilan were nominated. Gillilah
is a chattel mortgage fiend, known all
over Lancaster county as " forty per
cent Jack." He is a farmer, cultivating
the farmer's crops after they are raised,
and. as his cosrnomen indicates, has
been taking great interest in the busi
ness. How the farmers will rally to
the support of this ticket.
Did banker Eggleston sign a pledge
in banker Clark's back - office, that he
would vote against all whiskey legisla
tion whether the amendment carried or
not
Delegate Severin, candidate for the
legislature, was a delegate to the Hast
ings convention, and was instructed for
Reese; but his vote went for Norval.
He is a handy man, and satisfactory to
Hathaway, Gere & Co.
The character of the county conven
tion may readily be seen by that of the
chairman of the county committee. He
is Hathaway, manager of the B. 4" 'V.
Journal concern. And C. H. Gere was
permitted to name the congressional
delegation. Mr. Republican Congress
man from the first district, we want
you to distinctly understand that yon
can't get there without the consent of
the B. & M. crowd.
D. G. Courtney for county attorney.
He is said to have reformed. Far be it
from usto put ajstone in the way of ny
man who sincerely reforms. But the
date of accepting a nomination is a bad
day to announce a reform,
It is very certain that the farmers had
no part in nominating that ticket.
' Labor Day 1890.

Letter From Brady Island.
Brady Island, Neb.,Ju1v 17th 1890.
Editor Farmers' Alliance: Hav
ing been for some time a close reader of
The Farmers' Alliance, I have been
much interested, and well pleased with
the many columns oj good common
sense which it has contained. Feelin
that I would like to say a word, I sen
you a few words, and if they escape the
waste basket 1 may come again.
First, let me and there I be
held an army of the most blood-thirsty,
tyranical looking scoundrels tne eye
ever gazed upon. Inere are tne rail
road magnates, trust-fiends, beef -com
biners. political bosses, in fact the
whole tribe of thieves and robbers, and
we have to have special quartets pre
pared for them, for we don't want to
associate with them.
Now we have just such a set of sim
pie minded knaves to deal with; a whole
set of wholesale robbers. They do not
seem to think thev are fast nearinsr
warmer climate, where their ill-gotten
wealth won t even procure a "drop o
water to cool their parched tongues
The farmers could run the world if they
only had sense enough to combine their
forces and work for the common well
fare.
But they are too chicken-hearted to
come to the iront and demand their
just rights.
Is it any wonder that the farmer is
looked upon with contempt when he
will submit meekly to all the imposi
tions which are thrust upon him?
Ihere is no use trying to dodge the
fact that the Farmer is the "slave" of
the monopolists. Thev also know
about how much will be required by the
farmer to keep body and soul together.
That much they allow him to keep so
that he can produce another crop next
year to turn over to them.
Brothers, this must be stopped. W e
must sieze the lines and do the driving
ourselves, or surely they will soon land
us in the poor house. We must have
representatives in congress whose in
terests are identical with our own; men
who will be faithful to the farmers.
We want good, honest and intelligent
men to look after our interests instead
of a lot of railroad attorneys and friends
of monopoly who don't know the differ
ence between a field of wheat and a
field of sunflowers.
Brothers, it only needs good, earnest
work to show the rascals which side of
their bread has the butter on. Come to
the front, and we will achieve a glori
ous victory. Brothers, do your best.
Fall in and vote for your interests and
for your neighbor and your country.

Our Promoted Leader.
Clinton B. Fisk is dead! All over the
land hearts mourn for the noble man
fallen; probably no man in America
was so trusted and loved by so many
different circles as was General Fisk.
The all-roundness of his character was
phenomenal. -Intense in his convictiqns
and ever standing by them heroically,
he had no narrowness, no bigotry; his
freat heart took in good causes, and
is superb courage stood by all, how
ever great the cost. "r
Memory runs back over the promi
nent facts in the life so full of blessing,
from the time when, as a "bound boy"
in the wilds of Michigan he planned
and worked to secure an education, till
the day when he passed over the river
leaving a continent in mourning and
finds no page whose record it would
erase. Devotion to Christ and to hu-

At a meeting of the
Cracking the Shell.
One of the bits of interesting infor
mation in Secretary Blaine's letter is
the frank assertion that the high duties
imposed by South American countries
upon our products place them beyond
the purchasing power of the masses and
make them ""luxuries whiah only the
wealthy can enjoy." Still it must not
be forgotten that in our country the
tariff is not a tax. Providence Journal
Und.)
We welcome Mr. Blaine as a co-la-porer
in the good work of tariff reform.
To us, his trade policy with the South
American states seems wise, and we
hold that he honestly believes his poli
cy on the tariff is for the general good
of the whole people.--Boston Democrat.
What a beastly thing it is that there
is no high tariff for a 'State. Here is
Indiana, with her big blackberry crop,
coming right into Kentucky with ber
ries when we have so many of our own
that we might sell to ourselves at larger
figures. Louisville Courier Journal.
..The McKinley bill is playing into the
hands of free trade England by giving
her a pretext for striking back at our
exports on grounds of self defence,
thus turning our own weapons against
us. Protection works serenely until
the other fellow puts on the gloves.

life, and gives the key to its unique com
pieteness.
Our first recollections of him are con
nected with the dark war days. He
entered the army as a private, but
quickly won promotion, till he left it a
major-general. This well-earned pro
motion speaks for his military efficiency,
but to us he stands pre-eminent as a
Christian soldier, caring for the souls
of his men, distributing 25,000 Bibles
and Testaments, the "Tactics" as he
called them, the "Marching Orders" of
his Great Captain, by which hundreds
were marshalled into the army of God.
His interest in the f reedmen was
strong, of which Fisk University, Nash
ville, Tennessee is an abiding memorial.
The Indians also shared his sympathy,
and for many years he was president of
the Board of Indian commissioners.
In the church of his choice he was
always a tower of strength, being a
member of the Methodist Missionary
board for twenty years, chairman of
the eastern section of the Methodist
Book committee, a trustee or director
of innumerable institutions, and m
evary one a thorough worker. He was
especially blessed with consecrated
common sense, which made him inval
uable where business ability was need
ed; his pocketbook was also consecrated
and his generous response to all calls
upon it for good causes brought down
upon him the blessings of thousands.
rom early boyhood he had been a
temperance worker, and as years pass
ed on he came inevitably to the front
as a leader this in spite of the fact
that he was no politician, never sought
and never desired office. By birth,
training and all sacred associations he
was a republican, loving the party as
one loves that for which he has hazard
ed his life. Yet when that party re
fused to take up prohibition he left it,
because his conscience would not allow
him to remain m any party which ex
cluded his principles. 1 he prohibi
tionists of New Jersey, his home, in
1886 nominated him for governor, and
he accepted the nomination, well know
ing what the acceptance would cost.
It did cost five months of time and
most exhausting labbr, which but for
the loving guardianship of his wife
might have proved fatal; five thousand
miles of travel, money without measure,
the loss of friends,the scorn of enemies,
the insult of corrupt proffers of aid or
coalition all of which were so emphat
ically refused that no one dared repeat
them all this price he paid cheerfully,
heroically, that by thus standing for
moral principle he might strengthen it;
ana ne aid strengtnen it, as an increase
of five hundred per cent on any pre
vious prohibition vote in that state
showed. -
Such is the man whom we mourn
today: "The General who went
through the civil war without tittering
an oath; the Christian who was brother
to Protestant and Catholic alike; the
Sunday school man who was welcome
at Grand Army Posts; the beloved
friend of th " vc re; the steadfast
defender o i : :;v?., the favorite
any man for any office of trust who will
not pledge himself before nomination to
adhere to and work for the principles
we advocate. Thad Williams,

to speak and maintain them.

ful to put our best men in nomination
the ticket will be elected by a good
rouna majority.

leaders, but they have finally concluded
that we have none, but that we are true
to name, the people, and do not propose
to be led by a few; that we believe that
we cannot be represented by having
ring politicians set the pegs for us and
in a manner do our voting, but that the
only way to set matters right is to edu
cace, cio our own tmnKing. and vote in

Pleased with the Farmers Alliance.
The Twentieth Century has no politics.
It is against all political parties. But
as an outsiderl have a gooddeal of fellow
reeling tor the Jb armer's Alliance party
lhey are organized on the principles
that what is sauce for the goose is sauce
for the gander. They proceed upon
the assumption that if bankers get
special legislation in their behalf,
farmers might as well have it too. It is
a pleasure to me to see the farmers
waking up and determining to show
the politicians that they have some
thing in their heads besides hayseed.

A few Pertinent Questions to Supporters
of the Liquor Traffic.
Did you ever hear of any movement
having for its object the advancement
of any public interest which originated
m a saloon or among saloon keepers?
Did you ever hear of a town which
published abroad as an inducement to
prospective settlers the numbar of i
oons it had withm its limits?
Did you ever hear of a community
which enrolled among its solid, substan
sial and public spirited citizens the
names of its saloon keepers, with their
business occupations affixed?
Did you ever hear of a saloon keeper,
being mentioned in any public place as
a hero, a philanthropist, a true gentle
man, a man of noble mind, or a3 a
public benefactor of any sort?
Did you ever hear of a saloon keener
starting or heading a subscription list
tor a iund to establish an orphanage or
a hospital,' a publie library, a public
park, an institution of learning, a church
or a mission chapel?
Did you ever hear of a saloon keeper
who strictly regarded al the laws touch
ing its traffic, such for example, as those
forbidding the sale of liquor to children,
to habitual drunkards, on Sundays and
election days and after certain hours at
night? .
Did you ever hear of a saloon keeper
saying to a would be customer in the
shape of a poor, wretched sot, ,No, I
cannot take your money. You have
had too much liquor now. Take your
money and go and buy some bread
with it for your starving wife and
children?"
Did you ever hear of a saloon keeper

C. C. Cowles Wants Van Wyok for
Governor.
( Wyoming, Otoe Co., Neb., July 14, '90.
Editor Farmers' Alliance : I have
seen very little in your paper from Otoe
county, and as you invited expressions
on the coming fall elections, I drop you
a few lines, as editors, like senators
and representatives, like to hear fre
quently from their patrons and constit
uents in order to know the true public
feeling. I have no doubt you are flooded
with communications on the various
important matters demanding legisla
tion, so 1 will not intrude on your valu
able space now in discussing any of the
burning questions of the day, but will
come at once to the practical part of
who is going to lead the toiling hosts to
victory this fall. All will agree on one
thing: The next Governor should be a
man of the, people, that is not and can
not be controlled bymonied corpora
tions a man of undoubted integrity,
ability and experience, and who has
the nerve to stand by the people in the
unequal fight going on between capital
and labor. W e all know that the vari
ous monopolies employ the best talent
that money can get, and money gets
the best in the land. General Van
Wyck, we think, enjoys these qualifica
tions to an eminent degree. He has
stood loval to the people on the floor
of the lnited States Senate, and on the
public rostrum at all times; has de
fended their interests against monied
corporations. He has not only proven
himself a champion of the people of
this State, but on entering the United
States Senate he at once took a lead
among the great men of our nation.
When he was defeated for re-election
the wail that went up all over this
broad land showed to what degree he
had endeared himself to all classes of
people. I realize that a bitter fight
would be made on Van Wyck by all
railroad companies. On the other hand
1 believe that V an W yck would wake up
an enthusiasm that no other man can.
But we are in the ring for fair play and AT LO W PSICES EOR CASH,
just legislation, and if we are going to '
hunt our holes the minute the monster
corporations show themselves in the
ring it would be better had we not en
tered the fight for justice. In regard
to Gen. Van Wyck I want to say that I
nave never talked with nim on the sub
ject of being a candidate for Governor,
but l feel 1 only express the wish of a
large majority of the farmers and la-
rboring people of the State when I say he
is lust the man we want for next Gov
ernor. W hue there has been no effort
on the part of Gen. Van Wyck or his
friends, so far as I know, to bring his
name out for Governor, jet I think it
has been an open secret that he would
most probably be the standard-bearer
of , the anti-monopolists under whatever
name it might be decided to make the
fight. Yours Respectfully,
C. C. Cowles.
