THE FARMERS' ALLIANCE, LINCOLN NER. THURSDAY, AUGUST 27, 1891. DECH3' REPLY TO JOHNSON. The Grand Master Workman Get Pack At the Transportation Board. State Grand Master Workman Deeh of the Knights of Labor has issued the following reply to the open letter of J. W. Johnson of the state beard of trans portation: Hastings, Neb., Aug. 19.-To J. W. Johnson, Secretary State Board of Transportation, Lincoln. Sir: I have before me your letter of Aug. 17, and 1 hasten to discharge the duty of answer ing it. I call it a duty because if you were a private citizen a reply would not be necessary. A3 you happen, by the grace of the railroad lobby, to be a secretary of the state board of trans portation, I regard it as my duty to take advantage of tne prominence you nave assumed to yourself in order that the people of Nebraska may be reminded that it is "the pig under the gate which s)ueals." You say: "In requesting parties to ap pear before the board and produce such facts and iigures as they might have at their command to show why freight rates should be reduced, the board had no idea of drawing from yju a political speech calculated to still fur ther agitate the already overheated pub lic mind on the raihoad question." I believe you. If any one should zeal ously guard the "public mind" from be ing "agitated" on the railroad question in this state you are the man. For I grant that m the service of the railroads as a lobbyist and a political writer you have earned your recompense like a thoroughbred. With your record before me I could not for one moment believe' that you would be guilty of doing any thing which could incouvenience the railroad magnates of Nebraska. Again you say: "We desired to obtain from youandotherprominentadvocates of freight reduction as well as from the railroads themselves, a fair, deliberate and truthful statement of the real fac's as they exist, in order that the board, as well as the people of the state, might pass upon this subject once for all, from the standpoint of intelligence and rea son net from the standpoint of political gossip and partisan hate." If I believed that statement to be true I would willingly have appeared before the board, and 1 think there are many other men in Nebraska who would have done likewise did they not believe that it would be likA 3; - -earls be' Wihfl. B But if I had appeared before the board mrn as you," I am not ahamei to re member that in the true situation of affairs fortune has placed me on the side of (iod and the people. Acting on that side it iu mj- duty to criticise you; but rewerabenng your unhappy attitude toward God and man it is my pleasure to pity you. Yours in dead earnest. W. 11. Dech. 1 Meeting of Alliance Lecturers and Coun ty Officers Held at Hastings, August 19, 1891. About 150 Alliance men gathered at the G. A. R. hall, Hastings, w ednesday morniug, and the following program was ably aiscussea: 1st- What is the object of the Alliance! State Lecturer, O. Hull. 2d. How should the meetings of the Subordinate Alliance be Conducted? J. H. Powers, Pres. Nat'l Alliance. 3d. What Topics Should be Discussed and Considered! B. F. Pratt, Asst. State Lecturer. 4th. Specitic Duties of County Lectur ers! J. 11. rowers. 5th. How can we best Maintain an In terest in the Local Alliances? State Lecturer, O. Hull. Cth. Open Meetings-How Conducted! J. M. Thompson, State Secretary. Parties to whom topics were assigned occupied fifteen minutes each, followed by fi re minute talks from those present. The meeting was interesting and in structive throughout and all present voted it a success. The following resolution was adopted and ordered printed: Resolved, That we appreciate the kindness o! Silas A. Strickland Post, G. A. H., in tendering us the use of their hall for this meeting, and that we here by tender them our sincere thanks for the courtesy thus shown. I would undoubtedly have been sub jected to tne same discourteous treat ment as was accorded to C. G. Dawes, who, in addition to having his quarrel just, came ripe with information on the iniquitous freight rates. Never before, even in the history of Nebraska, were enacted scenes so disgraceiul as at the Lincoln session of that body when the board of transportation, flanked on either side by shrewd railroad attor neys, made sport of the citizens who did call to protest against the railroad robbery. You say that in the last legislature "they actually introduced a bill which would have raised the rates, were ready to pass it and only discovered the mis take by the assistance of a railroad man." But your statement is not true. It is a well-known fact that when the Newberry bill was introduced that your masters took many advantages of the fact that the independent representa tives were not as far advanced in "ways that are dark and tricks that are vain" as the men who were employed to hood wink them. By shrewd manipulation they slipped in a freight schedule which did increase the present rate, but it was not a railroad man who called attention to the fraud. They are not built that way. It was John M. Moan, of Dakota county, who first called attention to the shamelessness of the railroad lobby. If he was a railroad man, he was of a different brand from that which Ne braska has had to deal with in the past. If you, my friend, were as zealous in the statement of fact as you were, in the campaign of 1800 in the statement of fiction, you would acknowledge that the state board of transportation has no more idea of dealing justly with the freight rate question than a railroad lobbyist has of the nang of conscience. If you desired to be a patriotic public official you would shake oil the uhackles which are riveted upon your wrists and take a stand for an actual reduction of freight rates. Instead of wasting your time in an empty show of obtaining evidence to ascertain if freight rates are too bi;jh, you would take advantage of the ample evidence you already possess and move lor a speedy reduction of these rates. You know and I know that around tne capital building the state board of transportation is con ceded to be a huge joke and their "rate investigations" session a rediculous farce. The same full appreciation of that body is entertained by the people, who have learned lone ago that a man cannot be appointed a secretary of that board unless he meets with the approval 01 tne railroad ease. 1 ou know and 1 kuow that the members of that board in their official capacity are living a lie and in their present riaiculous parade, only calling public attention to their shameless disregard of public duty. I have no reply to make to your per sonal attack upon myself. Undoubtedly we both are human, and hence are weak. I never felt disposed to thank God that I was not like other men, but when I remember the record you have made in Nebraska I am prompted to feel grateful that I have neither the mind nor disposition to be of service to the cause to which your life saems ded icated. The people ot the Second dis trict remember you as the man who made savage and continued assault through the columns your paper on the farmers of the state. You were merciful to them only as your bitter assaults helped to part the waters and make a pathway to lead them out of bondage. You were fair to them only as Pilate was fair to the Master. You spoke true of them only as Ananias made a proud record for truth and veracity. But the farmers of Nebraska do not enjoy a monopoly of your hate. They share your contempt with the Creator of us all. We who know you well remember that in the same breath with which vou have con demned those who under the beneficence of God's blessing s upon the ballot are endeavoring to obtain enact justice, that in that same breath you have boldly and publicly disputsd the right of God to rule and the title of the Savior to the gratitude of the world. We know that yon sit idly in an office sus tained by the taxes collected from ti Christian people, and while the hours away in the attempt to foster the vil lainous principles of infideliiv. We know that you were a railroad lobbyist at the last session of the legislature and obtained your present ollice because the railroad magnates knew they could trust you. We know that from you the railroads have nothing to fear and the people nothing to expect. So, when, in reference to myself, vou say: "The republican party has stood for thirty years between the business interests of this country and just such The Snide Board and the Genuine Cap pers. On the 19th the Snide board of trans portation held a round up at Kearney. The same precious gang of U. P., B. & M., Elkhorn andM.P. attorneys, with a few of their free-pass cappers, that met at Lincoln, were present at Kearney. The Kearney chamber ot commerce wa? on. (ap as usual with a paper which was presented by its secretary, patting the railroads, and saying that freight charges were faif and equitable, A. J. Gustin, Hon. JohnBarnd, H. H. Seeley. and Mr. Miller, all of Kearney, pre sented the case of the people. But at Kearney, as at Lincoln, the people generally entirely ignore the board. They regard it with utter con tempt, They understand very well that it is a snide and a fraud, got up by the roads to hoodwink the people into a belief that there is an authority which will redress their complaints. It is too gross that this board should be main tained at the expense of the people to furnish places to reward political bum mers and renegades. Mr. Dech, in a letter which, we publish this week, has curried one of the secretaries of the precious body nicely. There is another one who holds his place on the board as a reward for political treachery a man who is as much a traitor as the senator who ran away, and who in fact was one of the aiders and abettors in that one's treachery. If the gentleman wanes u? to publish his name with a collection of facts we will do it for the asking. Any thing to accommodate. We want our readers to remember that it is the so-called republican party, but really the republican railroad ma chine, that maintains this vile tax-eat ing excrescence in existence. Arthur i.

Jay Burrows : "Fear not," the great common people of Nebraska are with you, and while their financial 3up port may not have been all that might have been expected their confidence in TnE Alliance and its editor is un bounded. I know whereof I speak. Your character is indelibly stamped upon the hearts of a grateful people. .Nothing can marr that impress except your own deliberate acis. They will accept no other sign. We have our little Independent on its feet. We hope to solidify our ranks with it and will carry the grand princi ples of the new party to a successful issue or go down with colors flying. I notice a stiong difference of opin ion between vou and Mr. Thonton on certain measures. I hope there will be no open breach no hostility. Our correspondent need have no fear. Ed. Alliance. The democrats and republicans are talking of combining in our county. If they do there will be an exodus of hon est men to our ranks, and we'll whip them anyhow, if they don't. We'll snow them under provided we get a clean, able ticket; so they'll "be damned if they do and they'll be damned if they don't." Hard situation isn't it? Can support our state ticket enthusiastically. Ever yours for the triumph of the common people, S. E. Keene. SPECIAL NOTICE. To all Friends of the Independent Move ment and of The Farmers' Alliance.

Gentlemen and Fellow Citizens: I thank you more than words of mine can tell for the high honor jou have con ferred upon me in nominating me as a candidate for constable for the city of Lincoln. I hope and trust that I shall ever prove to be worthy of your respect and confidence; for I have motives and ambitions far higher than a mere scram ble for office the elevation and eno bling of my race is the goal of my am bition. Cheers. We, the colored peoplo of Lincoln, have become eick and tired of our political slavery and we have enunciated a new proclama tion of emancipation tremendous cheering, and we declare that we will no longer be used as political tools to place men and parties in power only to ignore us and spurn us with contempt and loathing. Here the speaker ad vanced a step or two forward, and partly crouching he assumed the daring attitude of a b-ast at bay and then hissed these seething, burning firebrands at an imaginary foe before him: When we call upon thorn for what is due us, yes, d-u-e us, as members of that party to t. hich we belonged, the convention at this point went fairly wild with en thusiasm and Warwick was cheered to the echo. This seemed to inspire him with a greater energy and ho straight ened himself, quickened his words to a pace of earnestness and continued. We poor black men believe the time has come when a man's politics shall no longer be known by the color cf his skin. We intend to vote and support that party which will recognize us as citizens of the United States loud cheering that party which is willing to return favor for favor cheers that party which, knows no north, no south, no east, ho west, but one flesh. all of us, as the fjreat God has created us to dwell together for mutual advance ments aad benefits; that party that will give us a free and impartial administra tion; and lot me tell you, my colored brethren, thai 1 beltevethat the people's independent party is the party tbat give us just such a square deal. Pan demonium here broke loose and the del egates howled with delight, and the '.spectatoss joined in the cheering. The sneaker Held tne word nrmiy in ms teeth and began again in the same spirit of earnestness a free and fair administration. In the pat we have been ever faithful to the repuolican partv. Year atter year we have gone to the polls and cast our votes for the glory and success 01 that party, and what do we get in return for this faith ful servitude? In the state of Nebraska we have received nothing in return, not one poor, little, single appointive ollice in any of the state institutions ex cept 1a the state bouse, and that is the exalted position of janitor. And to se cure this position we had to sign a pe tition long enough to elect any man to congress with the votes signed to that document, and this we seat to the gov ernor y-e-s, all this we nad to do :n order to get a jod lor one 01 our race as a spittoon cleaner at the capitol. Long, loud and continued applause followed this arraignment of republican ingrati tude and treachery to the republican colored man. Down at the court house a colored man was at work and they told him ho would have to quit for want of funds to pay him with. He quit, of course. But the next day a white man took his place. I wonder where they get the funds to pay him with? I wonder where they will get the votes to keep in power this same base crew of ingrates to the loyal part of the republican party in Lancaster county? I tell you, my white brethren, this hurts the poor colored man. It is not so much the actual loss of the posi tion, or the revenues from the ollice 01 spittoon cleaner in the court house or capitol, but the very deed itself, the motive and the littleness of it cuts to the very quick and burns away down deep and into our very souls: and now we crv aioud and raise up in ourmieht. and with our bailots we will declare and swear that we will bend our necks to the yoke no longer; no more will we bare our backs and calmly take the partv lash and say we have no use or being except to serve corrupt masters who Know us onlv to use us. We are not cattle poor dumb brutes or beasts of burden, but men made in tho image of God. and He will and ought to des pise and loathe us if we fail to use the talents lie eave us. "And, my friends, this condition of affairs among the colored people is not confined alone to Lancaster county. All over this country from the great lak'js to the gulf, from ocean to ocean there comes the same sad crv of politi cal slavery from our people, and it is the same wall of discontent, the same writhing in moral bondage from the fetters forged by the two great parties upon the votes and labor of the colored American citizens. Nearly thirty years ago we were released, as a people, from human slavery. We thought then thai tho sun of our glory and advancement had risen to shine brighter and brighter until at last we would become recog nized as of some value to mankind ex cept as an article of commerce. We have seen that sun sink from sight be hind a cloud of dark despair and gloomy foreboding, and we wondered whether our sun of happiness had set, our hopes had gone, never to be realized by us again. As these clouds arose we began to kick, and we kicked and ended the matter with our kicking. For thirty years we have kept up this kicking, but all to no avail. But now we kick and move and act, and we have kicked off the political harness in Lancaster coun tv, and we, the colored voters of Lin coin, are going to vote for the party that recognizes us as citizens. Here after we are going to have something to sav about the kind of harness we will wear. As this is a government of the people, by the people and for the people we are going to show all parties that we are the people, and our votes will show it when we help elect the independent ticket this fall. Here the convention went wild again with cheers and laugh ter. We demand, we petition and sup licate no more, that we have a chance along with tha rest of the American people, applause, for everybody knows that we are thoroughly Amer ican, and not one of our raco has eyer been branded as a traitor, and there never will be a Benedict Arnold among us. If, gentlemen, this new party does its duty by us you will always find us true and loyal, faithful ever until the end of time. I thank you for my race for this great honor, and I accept your nomination." The Independent Farty of this State has entered upon the most important campaign in its history.
