THE ALLIANCE-INDEPENDENT. A Stick in the Mud Why do we vote the demo-republican ticket? We are like the hungry man. He ate fourteen big biscuits, one and a half pounds of beefsteak, a polful of po tatoes and went right to bed. He was tired, poor fellow. He thought over production was the cause of low prices and he would consume some to raise the prices. What happened? About 2 o'clock in the niorninc he wakened lm. gets his wife up, she gets camphor, lin iment and hot cloths. She said. 4,lke. what is the matter?" "My God, I don't know, I will surely die in ten minutes if jou don't get this pain stopped." ""ike, you ate too much supper. ' ''No, I didn't, you get them hot cloth'. Oh. my God, I will die." The hot cloths eased him some. Then she said, "Ike. your supper don't agree with you." "Yes, it does. I know now, what is the matter with me, Matilda; When was a little boy I was kicked ia the stomach by a mule. Uneducated Clodhopper. People's Independent Stato Conventions.

While tho committee do not feel it best to lay down any definite teBt as to who should be allowed to ote at the primary elections to elect delegates to tho various conventions. as any test would not work equally well in all localities, yet we would urge upon county and precinct committeemen, and all having the primaries in charge, to adopt such rules and testB as will best secure a fair expression of the independent voters of the state. Tho qu cation of eeiectirs delegates to the National convention to which lho to groa sioiidl districts are entitled is left to the dis tricts themselves, either to call congressional conventions m their respective districts or to select them by districts at Lincoln at the state convention, at ihe Famo lime tho dele pates are selected to represent tho state at large. We would recommend that no proxies be allowed at either convention, but that the delegates present cast the full vote to which the state or county is entitled. We would also recommend that the pri maries for electing delegates to t he County conventions be hbld Thursday, June 23,1892, and that the County conventions be held Saturday, June 25, 1892. J. V.
