THE 2 ALLIANCE-INDEPENDENT. THE PEOPLE'S PARTY. Good Tidings From Various States New Party Gaining Ground Eapidly. -The The Situation in Maine, Georgia, diana, Washington, California and Minnesota. In- 'Tidings of Great Joy." IN CALIFORNIA. The reform movement seems to thrive well in the "glorious climate of California." Plans for the organiza tion of the state into people's party clubs have been formed and are being put in operation. The nominating of Weaver and Field was ratified by a ratified by a grand meeting at San Francisco. All classes of citizens are falling into line. The new party will elect several congress men. t. IN MAINE. The People's party is organized and hard at work in the "Pine Tree State.", L. C. Bateman, candidate for governor, is in the field, making rousing speeches and working up the people. Maino was the banner state inJ the old greenback movement and there is no telling what she may do again. IN GEORGIA the nominee for governor is William L. Peck a well to do farmer. A f I'll state and electoral ticket is named. In his speech before the state convention the chairman said "If the Alliance should die tomorrow it would have ac complished one grand work if no more, and on its tomb could be written 'It has destroyed ail sectionalism.' The peo ple's party has drawn the north and the south together, and has done more than all other agencies combined to wards wiping out sectional feeling." IN INDIANA the fight was inaugurated at the great Weaver meeting at Vincennes. Throughout the state the new movement is gaining ground. Leroy Templeton the people's candidate for governor is stirring up the animals. IN WASHINGTON. Ralph Beaumont has been out stir ring up the people on the Pacific coast. He delivered a great speech at Tacoma, Wash., a few days ago. The chances of success in that state are good. IN MINNESOTA. TgjJTjitoVto People Ignatius Donnelly is the standard bearer of the people's party and he will make the grandest campaign ever made in Minnesota. The republicans have induced a small faction of Alliance men headed by two or three self seeking politicians to nominate a man named Baker on what is called an "Alliance ticket," but it will cut a small figure in the campaign. The re publicans have put up their strongest anti-monopoly leader for governor in the hope of checking the rising tide, but it will be in vain. The Independents Away Ahead Palmer, Neb., Aug. 1, '92 The independents of this vicinity held a grand rally at the opera house here on last Thursday evening. The largest crowd ever seen hero assembled and enthusiasm ran high. W. F. Critchfield of Fullerton was the orator of the evening and discussed the issues of the day in a clear and convincing manner. After the meeting an independent club of 116 voting members was formed and has been increasing; considerably since. This was twice over and two to spare what the g. o. p.club had the hrst evening. Not over fifteen republicans attended 11 ij 1 J . 1 X 1. we meeung ana several leu wnen me ubveiling of the g. o. p.'s record got too warm for them. Tne repnblicans have commerced taking in ladies and children to try to equal the indepen dent club here, and mor-j misrepresen- ation with regards to their numbers may bo looked lor soon. 1 ne corres pondent of the 13. &. M. Journal in his report of the meeting misrepresented acts in every particular, but this does not surprise those who know him as his chief stock ia trade consists of an ability to villify and call names. While misrepresentation may do to work a , landlord with a board bill it amounts to noihing in reporting a meeting where there were hundreds of good men to bear witness to the truth. It is admitted there were more than six at the g. o. p caucus, but one was a visiting republican and one a twelve- year-old boy. His talk of anarchy and calamity would sound better from a different source or from one whose business methods would stand closer inspection. The independents are stronger than ever here and their ranks are increas ing every day by acquisitions from both old parties. G. W. CRAVEN, County Lecturer. No Boom at the Top- 'Such men as Hatch, and Bland, and Pierce, and Mansur and Lewis, and Senators Morgan and Daniel, need have no aspirations in the Cleveland party. Plutocracy has them marked for des truction. It is only a question of time. They stood for the people, and all such men, and all those who have ever even winked at the Farmer's Alliance, will soon realize that the spirit of intoler ance intends to destroy them. These men are among tho ab.est and most efficient men of the day, but plutociacy has placed the seal of its docm upon them, and they must go. Why? Because there' is no "room at the top ' in the Cleveland party, every place worth having is filled by a henchman of plutocracy, and patient merit is turned down and re quired to do drudgery by whipping the discontented into line. The same is true to the same or a greater degree in the Harrison party. (They should no longer be called the democratic and republican parties because they have departed from the principles). Thous ands of tho best men in both these parties go unrewarded and unrecog nized because the top is full and they are crowded down. National Econo mist.

ItOGGEN, My Dear Sir: Wouldn't it be a good idea for you to write another let ler to Johnny Watson about now? You should hustle around and see tho "old time machine men" at once for there are "several large-sized breakers ahead." "It will not do to let every one into the secret. Gather a few of the select together." and "make a little medicine" at once or the G. O. P.'s name will be pants. The Political Pool. Tom Benton & Co., alias the board of transportation: Dear Sirs: It is now about time for you to get your show in order for your annual tour through Nebraska. I sug gest that you put in Col. Johnsoa for ringmaster. He is a good one. I sr'g- gest also that you send out a trusted agent to select from the railroad hench men of the state a goodly number to act as "supes." Have them thoroughly "coached" so they won't make any bad breaks. Then advertise your show well, and invite the local "calamity howlers" to be present and air their grievance?. I think, however, it will be well for you not to invite "Ca'amiiy Bill" Dech. He is "bad medicine." He might write another letter. Don't say anything to Chas. G. Dawes of Lincoln. Ho is an ugly customer. He knows too much. He might bo too much for tho ring-master. Also you'd better get A. J. Gustin out of the state if possible. He is the most "cantankerous cuss" in the state. If he hears your show is on the road, he'll travel a thousand miles to see it And he'll paralyze s'mebody sure. Get the U. P. and B. & M. com panies to fix up a few new figures for you. Season them well with gall of the same brand used last year. These suggestions are free, gratis, also private and strictly confidental. Yours, etc., Political Pool. P. P. You ought to have that re duction on green apples from Falls City to Kearney, by way of Omaha, preserved in alcohol and exhibited in a large glas3 jar. It will prove a draw ing card. P. P. N. B. Get Boyd to loan you the. original copy of hisfamous veto. Have it framed for exhibition. It will be a great "hit" sure. Also look out for Johnson not the King Bee, but that other Johnson up at Noi folk. He's a crank of the first watcir- .lVIV- ATTflmON I FARM If you want to sell your farms for cash, -OR- If you wish to trade them come and see us.
