THE AL L IANCE-I N DEPEND EN T. Dech and Hainer at Geneva. Geneva, Neb., Oct. 6, 1802. Editor Alliance-Independent: Yesterday occurred the debate be between Dech and Hainer at this place, and inasmuch as the 11 id his given a garbled and unfair account of the meet ing, it will bo no more than right to have the truth puu'ished. The only truth in the report was the 6ize of the crowd aid that there was a "special train run down from Fairmont in the interest of the republican party," and every parson lhat would wear the label, "Fairmont Republican Club," was given free transportation. The grand club paraled our streets and consisted of men, women and children, and had in its ranks just twenty nine voters by account. Had a rote b cn taken during the debate, and all wiDg- the Jadies to vote, Mr. Dech would ave comexut of th j crowd with a handsome majority, and no one denies tli j fact that more than three-fourths of the ladies present were there in the interests of the re publican party. Considering the fact that our county had b3en billed for a grand rally on Monday, October 10th,v to meet Mr. Greono, bafore the joint debate was arranged and alvertised, and our farmers being too busy to attend both meetings, they were advised that if they could not attend both meetings to turn out the 10th, by all means. Con sidering a'so that the republicans had strained every norve to bring out an audience that wculd. "paralyze Dech," by running a special train with free rids, it was certainly a victory for the people ajamst the railroads and bankeri. Charley Miller, or fairmont. a banker, sat on the rostrum and started every encore that Mr. Hainer received republicans are all out of numor ana very sensitive, ' because Hainer is no match for the little giant of Siunders. .1. tie time allotted to Mr. tiainer was too long", as he talked the last half hour i'ust to kill time. In the beginning of lis talk he stated that there was no monjy but gold, and before he was through, while rambling around to fil out his tima, he conradicted himself If t ie republicans want him to go to conzress they had better take him off the stump. Independent. The West and the South. Bancroft, Neb., Oct. 4, '92, To the Editor Alliance-Indepen dent: Certain persons are endeavoring to win back weak-kneed members of the peopVs party in this part of the state, by telling them that the union of the eouth with Via west, which was con summated at the Omaha convention July 4th, was a fraud, and that the southern delegates never intended to fulfill the promise made, their object being to encourage the people's party in the northern states, so as to break down republican majorities and let the old bourbons of the south get cantrol of the government. Having this in mind, I wrote a rather caustic article for the Southern Alliance Farmer, published at Atlanta, Georgia. Among other correspondence I received a letter from some southerner, a total stranger to me. I submit it to the readers of The Alliance-Indepen dent and ask if one of them can doubt the honesty and sincerity of the writer: Hickory Grove, Gi., Sept. 28, ; 9 3. Dear Sir and Friend: I want to thank you for your let-er in the South ern Alliance Farmer of the 4th inst. I wish I could grasp your hand in sup port of the principles of the people's par.y. They are grand, and noble in their mission. I listened to that good man Loucks of South Dakota yesterday, and it was truly a masterly effort for reform. We enlisted in. this movement to stay t.o the finish, and we feel proud to have such patriots from the great west with us. We expect tj open the great bat tle for freedom in every county in our own state next week and we will do our very best for the cause. The freedom of speech was denied our national leader, General Weaver, in this stite last week by bourbon dem ocrat3. But they have lost voters by their acts. We feel very hopeful of carrying the state ticket. As cno who wore the gray, I bid you godspeed in this reform. Very Respectfully, . II. E. White. It is true that General Weaver was rotten egged iu Georgia. So was one of our candidates for state fena tor in in this state the other, day, b'U that do?a not prove that we, who pledged our hands and hearts to tho men of the south to fight this fight to a triumphant close, were not honest in our declara t'ons. I have full faith in our brethren of the south, but I have just tho same opinion of the hoodlums of tho southern citie3 as i nave oi the railroad cappers and mortgage hends or tho west. , T. H. Tibbles An Open Letter to C. I). Shrader. Brock, Neb., Oct. 4, 1893. Hon. C. D. Shrader. Dear Sir: Wo are aware that our blue-shirted railroad pass agent has grossly and unjustly insulted you therefore we address this open letter that you may know you have many warm friends in Nemaha county. Those who a few days ago through loca pride would have supported tho rail roaa aristocrat, aro now vour most ardent supporters. Your honest, up right course in the legislature attracts the admiration of every true indepen dent and our delegates to the Kearney state convention supported you for the nomination which you received: and to class you as an anarchist is to class those who nominated you as anarchists ana certa'niy sucn a rignteous man as the Nemaha statesman would not wan the support of anarchists. Mr, Shrader you are cordially invited to our county and our homes are open for your enter tamment. Kespectfully, L. L. Coryell. Hurrah for McKcighan. Grant, Neb., Oct. 5, '92. Just allow me to say that our Mc Keighan just mopped the earth with that little dried up Andrews yesterday McKeigban made scores of votes by his logical reasoning against Andrews abusive and domineering horangue. Old soldiers who came on the ground witn Andrews badges, were seen to tear them from their coats and replace tnem witn McKeighan badges. il. 1 1 - un wun ine gooa worK ana wo are sure of the state with many thousand majority. K. L. - Ballard in Furnas County. Arapahoe, Neb., Oct. 5, 1892. Editor Alliance-Independent: Judgo Ballard of California who ad dsessed the people at Arapaho3 last evening was greeted with a good audi ence considering the shortness of the notice, and if the squirming of the gold bug demo-republican party fellows in any indication of the effectiveness of his red hot shot thrown in their midst, his aim surely was unerring. je speaKs in tne interest of silver but does not neglect the other leading ana important issues oi tne day, and the people should not fail to hear him at Lincoln on the 14th. As he returns on October the 17th. he will again speak at Arapahoe, and it is confidently expected that he will be met by a much larger crowd than be fore, and tfeht his two addresses here will make many votes for the indepen dent party.
