CLXrEUXDIX TBI SOtTII ,
From every southern state comes in
formation that Cleveland has lost his
popularity with the democrats on ac
count of his position on the silver ques
tion, The democratic state convention
of Kentucky virtually slapped htm in
the face. They passed a resolution
unanimously favoring free coinage, and
intimated that no opponent of that poli
cy need apply for the southern vote.
Governor Tillman of South Carolina, in
aa interview with the editor of the State
Alliance organ the other day, said
ha was strongly opposed to Cleveland
on account of the ex-President's opposi
tion to the free coinage of silver and
also because his sympathy is with Wall
street and its money. "The greatest
danger to the democracy," said he '1s
that the nominating convention in 1802
will name Mr. Cleveland as its standard
bearer for the next campaign. In spite
of the almost solid opposition of the
south, I fear he is sure to be nominated.'
Ex Senator Reagan of Texas has an
opinion too. He says: "If Cleveland
is nominated, I suppose he might possi
bly get the electoral vote of Texas aod
of Arkansas, but these are the only two
states west of the Mississippi that he
can carry. II tne eastern politicians ao
not know this new, they will And It
out when they try the experiment."
All this is obvieusly portentious of great
good for the people's party. The nomi
nation of two gold bugs by the old part
ies will be forced by Wall street. Cleve
land is sura to be the democratic candi
date, and Harrison the republican.
Both will be faithful representatives of
Wall street and the stock Jobbers and
monopolies. Tbey are squarely against
the demands of the great mass of the
peop'.e on the money question they are
subservient tools of the great money
power. Such will be the position of the
republican and democratic parties when
they enter the next right, with Harrison
and Cleveland at their bead. The great
republican west and northwest wi 1 re
volt, and the republicans will carry
hardly a state. The solid democratic
south has gone bodily into the Alliance
and their demands are such as Cleve
land and the New Tork democrats do
not favor in any respect. They are an
nouncing in advance that no monkey
work will carry the south. It's get to
be some other man but Cleveland.
Here's where the circus comes in.
Cleveland will be nominated, and the
south will go along with the great
northwest and elect the people's parly
maa.
C0MPARIS0XS. IRE ODIOUS.
The old party press never tires in
charging ignorance and blockbeadness
upon the last legislature because It was
i ndependent in majority. It might not
bo amiss to give to those kickers a dose
of their own.njedicjpe. Two years ago
the legislature waa overwhelmingly re
publican. It abounded in "block-bead
edneas" to Just as great an extent as
the lata session, not to say anything of
worse crimes against law and the peo
ple which infested the republican ses
sion. Hers is a sample bill introduced
two years ago. It actually traveled
along through committees, etc., and got
as far aa the general file at the close of
the aesalon. House Roll No. 804, by C.
W. liortls, a republican:
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the
State of Xebraika:
"bkotion 1. U shall be unlawful for
any person to lire off or discharge any
pistol, revolver, anoi gun, nue or any

or highway, except to destroy some
wild, lerocious and daugerous Imaftt, or
an officer in tne discharge of His duty."
nraeii mml that ItiAf lonlala f liv-a
thought it would be such a strange pro
ceediog for an officer to be caught in
aotual discharge of his duty that it ought
to be no offense if a way-faring man
should discharge some ammuultion at
him. :

It will be seen that eentimentalism,
sectionalism and social and theoretical
issues were diacarded in the platform,
and it presents live industrial and eco
nomic issues to the people. On several
very important questions the platform
takea advanced and bold ground. The
unanimity and determination which
marked the action of the body must im
press the political student with the con
viction that thia movement will be an
Important factor in the politics of the
future."
In another part of the same paper
thia significant language occurs:
"Some say work in the dominant par
ty, but all the argument that I have seen
in favor of thia ia very inconsistent.
Were the two great parties pure as they
once were, the plan would be contrary
to our principles, aa "unity of action is
imperatively demanded." But since the
leaders of botn partiea are lirmly united
againat our demands, it appears to me
the merest folly to try to have them
enacted by either party. Then you are
going to form a "third party." No, it is
already formed and has been since the
tirat labor organization. Parties form
themselves and no power can prevent
it.
"When I hear a man say that he is an
Allianceman and a democrat, I know
that man ia ignorant and needs inform
ation. If 1 hear him say the Alliance
platform and the democratic platforms
are practically the aame, I sympathize
with him, for I know the democrats
have him hitched up to a democrat-republican
wagon and the poor fellow
baa been pulling againat a similar horse
at the other end for twenty years and
the res fit is, the wagon bas ben rockel
deeper In the mud and the horses are
nearly worn out and will soon be turned
into a dry pasture to die. It is said that
a pup get its eyes open in nine days,
and it does seem that the people could
get theirs open in nine years."
THE C1TIZEXS' ALLIAXCE.
The Citizens' .Industrial Alliance,
which bas been organized in a number
of places throughout the state, stems to
have incurred the enmity of a certain
element inasmuch as they have stated
that they would "bust it wide open."
The means they bave taken is by or
ganizing the Citizens' Alliance, a social
political club. Now, let us briefly com
pare the two orders. The Citizens' In
duet rial Alliance was first organized in
Olatbo, Kansas, in July, 1$U0. It rap
idly spread through Kansas, Colorado,
Missouri, Arkansas, etc. On January
18th they met in national assembly, six
states being represented, and adopted
the constitution and complete secret
work which cbaracterlr.es the order.
Along in the latter part of fall or early
winter, three men met and decided to
organize a Citizens' Alliance, start a
paper and make every one wbo joins
the society take the paper. These men
were Holden of Kansas, and Wild and
Beaumont, of Washington, D. C. Now
this latter organization bas no secret or
ganization and no secret work, accord
ing to a letter from Mr. Beanmont to
the writer, in which he stated that "the
society partakes of the nature of a so
cial political club and consequently has
no secret work, only as may be adopted
by each local body," ' Now by this com
parison, the reader will readily see
that the members ara enabled to pro
tect themselves against unscrupulous
and designing men, while in the latter,
of which Mr. Beaumont Is the secretary,
the bars are let down and anything
from a railroad president to a chicken
thief, can become a member. And as a
premium of 20 ceuts per member is
paid the organizer it ia not difficult to
see now aa unscrupulous organizer
could abuse the movement. Now, we
ask the people to beware of Joining or
encourging tne Citizens' Alliance, of
which Mr. Beaumont is secretary, and
unless Wm. F. Rightmire, of Topeka,
Kansas, is the general secretary of the
order and it has a strong secret work.
keep clear of it. We, however, recom
mend the Citizens' Industrial Alliance
to the careful consideration of the peo
ple, and simply write this as a warning
not to be hoodwinked.

PYR0TECBX1C 1X&ALLS.
The republican papers ara falling
over each other in an effort to ride the
frame of a wasp like individual down ia
"bleeding" Kansas named ex-Senator
Ingalls. As long as the sting of the
wasp was directed toward Mr.Voerhees
or some other democrat in the United
States senate, Mr. Ingalls was all right.
In fact he was more than all right.be
was a dandy, . He waa the prince of
American statejjnei. He was also and
likewise the king of American stingers.
However, since that little event in
Topeka last winter in which Mr. W. A.
Peffer came out first best, the worm bas
turned. The poisonous little serpent is
crowding its fangs right into the vitals
of the G.O. P.
Mr. Ingalls was invited last week to
address a convention of republican , edi
tor at Hutchinson. He sent them a let
ter expressing "regret" at a previous
engagement, and promulgated a few
chunks of wisdom which paralyzed the
convention and it Immediately ad
journed in disgust. The republican
press of the country bas set up a bowl
very much similar to that emit
ted by a drove of canines on a moon
light night. The R. 4 M. Jtumal is
much distracted at Ingall's sad break
and wails:
"Ex-Senator Ingalls bas set himself
up as a sybil and bis utterances are
mysterious and vague. He says some
thing must be done to get the republi
can party in touch with tbe people and
murmurs about tbe 'unequal distribu
tion of wealth,' a thing that bas existed
for several years if not longer, of .the
'rights of the people' and so forth."
Just bow "vague" and "mysterious"
those utterances are our readers., may
judge for themselves. Hero they are:
"The republican party is confronted
with great problems which threaten its
principles. Tbe American people are
more cencerned now about the present
and the future than the past. They are
considering the finance, commerce,
wages, prices, immigration, suffrage,
the unjust distribution of wealth, the
unequal diffusion of tbe burdens and
benefits of society and are Indifferent to
dogmas and discipline. If we are to
succeed we must aeai witn tue issues oi
to-day as we dealt with slavery, seces
sion and threatened state sovereignty of
thirty yean ago.
"The future must readjust itself to
the changed condition of American life,
or it will perish. I wish to save it from
this fata by recalling the spirit, the en
ergy, tbe aggressive and, patriotic force
of its founders to the campaign' of
1882, Thia will be waged upon econ
omic and practical questions and not
upon memories or emotions.
If we dicker with popular errors.com-
promise with unprincipled leaders and
sneer at honest differences of judgment
and opinion it will be a Waterloo.
Ysur friend, Join J. Imuaixs."
A FEW PRESS EXTRACTS.
We herewith publish a few extracts

into corruption with more determina
tion to succeed than ever. In Wiscon
sin, thorough organization is being rap
idly completed. Every county and pre
cinct is receiving attention, aud tbe
earnestness and enthusiasm manifested
emong the people Is surprising even to
tbe old workers. Massachusetts is
awake, too. Tbe people' party there
has issued a manifesto to the voters,
from which we take the following ex
tracts: "Whatever may be the expression for
expected legislation, the animating in
fluence that founds the People s Party
is the desire to place the government in
tbe bands of tbe people, for the people.
It embodies the opinion that bnth of
tbe old panies are now controlled by
organized capital, and that national leg
islation in ita interest, at its dictation,
and sometimes by its purchase, ia re
sponsible largely for an existing condi
tion a condition where failures are
common, a condition where the masses
of society, although surrounded with an
abundance of tbe necessaries of life, are
unable to obtain a comfortable existence
without an injurious severity of labor;
and some even fail to find employment
at starvation wages.
Against this involuntary slavery the
People's party bas commenced a con
flict. Humanitarians all over tbe na
tion bave become aroused to a point not
equalled since the anti-slavery agitation.
It is a moral awakening, witn an issue
not second to that great question which
gave birth to the Republican party,
when both Whigs and Democrats trilled
with its solution. This organized capi
tal in Its encroachments upon the liber
ties of the people steadily approaches
tbe danger fine for tbe life of the Repub
lic. No further extension is the present
meaning of the People's party. -The
teaching of Jefferson and the warnings
of the immortal Lincoln in his message
of 1801, are appropriate at this time."
Wisdom From Prohibition Headquarters.
Kw York) Voice.
The Prohibition Party did not send a
single delegate, and it did not make a
single request of tbe Conference, cither
directly or indirectly. It would seem,
therefore, that we might look upon it as
upon any other political gathering and
judge it from tbe same standpoint as that
from which we should judge and old
party convention.
So it might seem, and yet we confess
we are unable to do this. Despite tbe
facts we have stated, Prohibitionists
looked and still look, upon the Confer
ence with a sympathetic feeling such as
does not exist toward old parties. Its
actios In rejecting turanlttidu.iytb pro
hibition resolutions offered, ejtcites no
resentment in us, for we were asking
nothing and expecting nothing. Our
sympathies were not aroused by any ex
pectations of this kind, and consequently
are nt alienated by any dkapxntmeiii.
Bat the movement is a revolt agaiart old
parties, and so is our movement a revolt.
They bave repudiated both old parties as
unlit to rule and as beyond all hope of
adequate reformation. We clasp bauda
with them there. Our indignation ia
mutual, and directed at tho same politi
cal foes, though aroused ty different
reasons. Moreover, we believe that the
manifest dentlny of tbe new movement
is to clear the wsy for the party of tbe
future, with prohibition as its central
issue, even as tbe Know-Nothing move
ment cleared the way for tbe republican
party, with its anti-slavery issue. In a
very real sense we look upon this new
movement as our ally, whether it intends
to be or not, whether it declare for or
against us.
THE 0B0 C AX AUD.
From this time on it will take a streak
of well lubricated elbctricity to keep up
with the lies that are traveling through
the subsidized press of this ceuatry. A
flying machine wouldn't be in tbe race.
Just now Ohio ia receiving spec'al at
tention on account of an alleged state
convention of Alliance men, granges,
etc., which has decided against a third
party in that state. Judging from the
amount of trickery employed in getting
up this anti-third-party gathering and
the great attention given it by the as

were men who went there under old
party endorsement. Do toot make the
same mistake again. H'ahoo Xeic Era

It occurs to The Tribune that both the
old parties err in judging of tbe possi
bilities of this Independent movement.
A decision based upon the assertion that
it is cursed like all parties with a dis
reputable office-seeking fringe is not a
substantial one, at least JfcCook Tri

No Resurrection for the G. O. P.
The Graphic compares the republican
party to the Savior. The comparison is
not a good one, for when the vitals of
the republican party shall bave been
pierced by a free ballot in the hands of
tbe public it will not raise after three
days, but will make nought but a filthy
corpse, reeking with exposed rottenness.

Greenbacks or Bonds.
A greenback is no less a bond of tbe
nation, although it may represent a small
denomination and bear no interest. If
a 11,000 bond drawing 4 per cent inter
est is safe and good, then a 1100 or 110
bond drawing co interest is safe and
good. If the bond of government is
good, a greenback is good. Reporter,

A Screw Loose Somewhere,
The world, at this stage of tbe game,
is making some great history. To tbe
person who looks areuud him it is in

the rich, suicide among the poor, with
financial panic coming on, with foreign
or inter-national complications increas
ing, the aspect of the near future caa
well be imagined. Mystic Breeze.
Tbey Have Nothing to Lose.
Once on a recent time there lived an
old darkey man who was as poor, old and
desolate as he could bo. At tbe same
tituethere lived a poor old darkey woman
who was as poor and old and desolate
as sho could be. They concluded to get
married and keep each other company,
as neither had anythiag possibly to lose
by it. Tbe two old parties ia Nebraska
are about as poor aud old and desolate
as they can be, and they have nothing
to lose. It might be well for them to
got married. Lincoln Herald.

FARMERS. ATTENTION!
We call the special attention of ocr
numerous readers to the advertisement
of tbe McConatck Harvestia Machiae Co.,
found in another column of this paper.
This company bas been building ma
chines for the past sixty years, and are
building 125,000 machines farthis year's
trade, being more than one-third of the
entire out-put of harvesting machines
for the enure world. Tbe farmers can
easily see that the company has con
stantly and continuously maintained its
prestige, and to-day still retains it
proud distinction of "The Best in the
World." The McCormick Harvester
was never so trim, tasty and symetri
cal as it is for 1801. It is not only tbe
andsomest machine built, but it is the
strongest, mcst durable and lightest
draft. Tbe McCersslch Cemsany do not
claim to make their own twine. The
workmen in their factory are expert
machinists, and make what is ac
knowledged to be tbe best machine in its
class that is made. Tbey have for sev
eral years consumed tbe entire out-put
of one of tbe leading Twine mills of the
country, an establishment whose operat
ors are twine makers born and bred,
whose product is so far superior to ail
others that they label 'every ball of it
" McCormick Twin." It will be well for
farmers who contemplate purchasing to
examine their Machines and Twin before
buying. It
CBUXK8 OF TRUTH BY MRS. LEASE.
Mrs. Mary Lease of Kansas, the lady
who bas made a national reputation in
her support of the Farmers' Alliance
principles, addressed a large audience
at tbe Cincinnati meeting. We give a
few extracts from ber speech:
If the republican party could bottle
up the sun beams that dart from heaven
and put a protective tariff on them
tbey would nave done it long ago.
This land Is tbe heritage of the Ameri
can. It belongs to him, and be must
have it. Tbe government bad as much
right to trade off that vast amount of
Sublic domain as it bas to trade off
ansas City for a tin whistle.
For the first time in tbe history of
Kansas men were elected whom money
could not buy. Ingalls offered $500 to
WOO for their rotes, but they were not
to be purchased. They were not for
sale. John J. Ingalls of Kansas, ranks
with Judas Iscariqt, and bis money is
as loathsome as the thirty pieces of sil
ver that purchased the life of the Sav
iour.' -
I defy any republican or democrat ta
give a reason why he is a republican or
democrat except that his daddy wa
one.
The men who hovered near the Ca
nadian line, and never smelled war in
all their cowardly lives, are the mea
who bave kept the north and south
apart.
Which is the worse, tbe black slavery
of tbe past or the white slavery of tho
present?
Tbe west and south are two peas in
tbe tame pod.
Republicans always say that demo
crats are corrupt, and should have no
place on tbe face of the earth. Demo
crats say tbe same thing of republicans.
We will satisfy both of them by taking
chargo ourselves.
We asked for tho earth in Kansas ad
we nearly got it. ' '

Went Omaha Set Off.
Tbo Vedette is in favor of Governor
Thayer calling a special session of the
legislature immediately for the sole
purpose of setting off Douglas county
as an independent state and appointing
Edward Rosewaler as governor, and
James E. Boyd as minister plenipoten
tiary to the court of St. James, and
making the Omaha city council tho leg
islative body for the new state. Omaha
has disgraced tbe state enough for the
post two years, and the only way we
seeef preventing further disgrace from
tlm Bame source is to set her off as a
state by herself . Verdon Vedette.
Schilling's Prediction.
MawAUKKH, Wis., May 23. In an
interview to-day Robt. Schilling, sec
retary of the national executive com
mittee of tbe new People's party, said:
"The moral effect of the victory in Kan
sas lias been tremendous and iu the
uext presidential election the content
will lie between our party aud the dem
ocrats. The republicans are not iu it,
for the republican party is as dead as
the old wl.lj party. I was astonished
to learn what strength we have in tbe
south. Unless tho democrats of Texas
walk a chalk line wo are going lo car
ry that state, for the colored Farmers'
Alliance of that state has iao.000 mem
ber Some of i be Ohio delegate were
of ihe opinion that we might aspire l
carry mat stale at tne next election,"
