EXPULSION OF MR. WOOSTER.
The Journal of the 27th has a screed
of abuse of Mr. Burrows for the expul- L
sionofMr. Wooster from the Silver
Creek Alliance.
It is sufficient answer to say that Mr.
.B. had nothipg whatever to do with the
expulsion, and knew nothing of it until
the Secretary of the State Alliance re
ceived notice of it in the regular form.
We might add that the expulsion
seems emiuenlly proper, considering
that Mr. Wooster has been assailing the
Alliance and his brother members ven
omously through the press, without seek
ing redress or preferring charges in the
regular way. Also, that Mr. Wooster
has the right of appeal.
THE "CLEAN AND ABLE" JOURNAL.
Editor Alliance. The following
letter indited by a committee of our
Alliance to the B. & M. Journal, in
whose pure, reliable columns you know
space will hardly be found for our
letter, being as we deem well worthy of
publication, we submit the same to The
Alliance. Committee.
Crodnse, Oct. 20, 1890.
Editor B. $ M.' Journal, Lincoln, Neb.
Dkar Sir. A large number of our
''docile denizens" have received your
circular letter offering for the modest
consideration of twenty-five cents to
furnish us for three months with the
'cleanest, newsiest, most enterprising
and reliable paper published in the
west." The slotted cards with gummed
cap all complete for the reception of
our surplus quarters excite our unboun
ded admiration. They are models of
neatness and ingenuity.
Wo have discussed pro and con,
mostly con, the aforementioned circular
letter at our Alliance meetings, and
have concluded that although as you
know we have more money than we
know what to do with, yet we will fore
go the high pleasure and immense profit
of your "clean" ana aoie Journal.
One reason that we decline to sub
scribe is that queer as we hayseeds look
we like to be in the fashion as well as
finer folk, and it is highly out of the
fashion in our parts to subscribe for
your clean, O so clean, and able ah,
able, and reliable (O my!) paper.
It has only one subscriber at Crounse
P. O. as you can easily verify from your
books or mailing lists, and he will not
renew; so you can see that we could not
comply with your request and be in
the fashion. Dealers in agricultural
implements and hardware who note
these facts will doubtless speedily throng
your sanctum eagerly inquiring for
space in your columns to enlarge their
advertisements.
Another reason for our declining to
subscribe is that we all take The
Farmer's Alliance, and through its
columns get from week to week the
best of the many good things published
in the clean ana able Journal. Thus
have we learned that we are a set of
hogs creating vast masses of litter for
the tidy and patriotic republicans to
clean up. We learn also that we are a
cross, noisy rabble led by wild-eyed
demagogues far into the fatal fields of
anarchy.
Getting as we do in this way the best
things from the Journal, let us not be
held blameworthy for declining to sub
scribe for the sheet witn all its "clean
liness and ability."
So sufficient and conclusive do these
reasons for our action seem mat we
deem it unnecessary to append the fact
that the marvellously clean and amaz
ingly able Journal was long since con
demned at the bar of public opinion
and "guillotined" by the hayseed execu
tioners that abound in these parts. We
, further consider it perfectly useless to
mention that while the charge of the
fat monopolist that we will not avarage
an ounce of brains may be true, a half
ounce is amply sufficient to compel us
to see that we are under no obligation
to support or encourage our deadliest
enemies, albeit in their way "clean and
able."
We would suggest the futility of
kicking thus against your coffin lid and
hint that while such action might awa
ken pitv in the breast of man, hosts
should be reckoned alien to that

Mb. Editor: "The stars in their
courses tight for us." The recoil of the
enemy's guns proves more effective
than the charge, roiled at one point
they turn excitedly toward another,
growing more desperate all ' the time,
and by their desperation betraying
their weakness.
Dorsey's supporters advertised a grand
barbeque for him near the centre of this
county last week, but they got out less
than twenty farmers. Richards, Dor
ney, Majors and and Thayer came to
Kearney and"tit the war over again" for
three long hours, to the weariness of all
sensible men. The meeting broke up
with a fight between two of the candi
dates. Just following this came the
grandest independent rally yet held in
this part of the state. How the hay
seeds did pour into town. Hundreds
of flags flying, dozens of beautiful ban
ners and hundreds of cheaper ones that
displayed to old partyringsters"legends"
and truths that filled them with rage
atid sadness. It would be impossible to
describe that vast procession. Bands
playing patriotic aires, choirs singing
patriotic and humorous songs, striking
scenic representatious. all crave it au
impressiveness that could not fail to
leave a marked effect upon the throngs
of citizens which lined the side-walks.
The teams numbered about 800, and
the number of people in attendance
was estimated at 10,000. The speaking
at the Lake grounds began at 1:30 p. m.
and lasted till nearly 5 o'closk. Presi
dent Powers was the first speaker. The
impression he made here was excellent,
aud he was vigorously applauded. Kem
followed in the best speech we have yet
heard him make.. W. L. Green then
paid his respects to Dorsey, Quav & Co.
and the meeting closed with a riuging
speech from Judge Gillespie. The
farmers scattered to their homes feeling
that they had shown Kearney the "Buf
falo County Gait."
I must beg permission to amend my es
timate last week on the vote of the Big
fhird. I have received reliable infor
mation from a large number of coun
ties in which our friends feel certain
that Kem will get a majority over both
the other candidates. 1 think it will be
safe to estimate that Kem will get ma
jorities over the held in at least half of
the hfty-f our counties, and pluralities iu
half the remainder. This will give him
a good majority over the whole vote.

GREETING TO JOHNNY.
The following letter was sent to J. C.
Watson in reply to ome ol his circulars
to an old soldier:
Kearney, Neb., Oct. 18, 1890.
John C. Watson, Chairman Republi
can State Central Committee:
Mr Dear Sir I would suetrest that
your committee prepare another circu
lar letter and mail a copy of the same
to every old comrade in the state,
stating the fact that the independent
ticket is largely if not altogether, com
posed of comrades who were unfortu
nate in having been privates during the
war of the rebellion (instead of officers),
but that they were good, true soldiers;
and as they have not had a fair sho w to
receive their due proportion of the pub
lic salaried omces, it having been the
policy of the commissioned officers of
the army to arrogate to themselves the
honors and compensations, of office;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the old comrades of
the state of Nebraska now have a splen
did opportunity to elevate to the re
spective offices of the state men belong
ing to the rank and file of honorably
m 1 1 m a J I a
discnargea soiaiers oi tne war, ana it
is the duty oi every comrade to see that
they are elected.
Now, if you should issue such a let
ter, I think I am safe in saying the old
comrades would swear by you, and no
doubt would " boost" you for the next
United States senator, or a foreign mis
sion, whichever might be preferred.
Brother Dorsey seems to have of
fended a large class of his former
friends and supporters by his selections
for postmasters, etc., and I am reliably
informed that nine out of ten of the old
soldiers in the big Third district are for
O. M. Kem and the independent ticket.
Any further suggestions I can make
to further the cause and assist our old
comrades to the state house, I will
gladly make at your suggestion and re
quest. Believing that the country will
be safe in their hands, I remain, truly
your, Alex. rjt tibt
' A Township, Seward Co V Neb.
Whereas- I tne judgment of this Alli
ance this State bas been ruled by the
railroads and other money corporations
until it has become unbearable by the
farmers of this State, therefore, be it
Rewlrtd That we, the members of
this Alliance at Oak Grove, Neb., will
support the People's Ticket this fall,
believing as we do that if farmers are
elected we will get justice through their
efforts.
Whereas: We the members of this Al
liance, having seen the effects of liquor
being used as a means of electioneering,
do believe it to be a disgrace to the
country and a violation of the statutes
of the State, Therefore, be it
Resolred, That we will enforce the law
to the full extent if we find any liquor
around the polls at our next election.
