An Immense Rally.
York county Independent J again did
themselves proud on Saturday Oct. 8th
In fact they had ono of tho greatest
political demonstrations ever held in
the state. Although York his b:en
cut off from McKcighan's district he
has a host of friends there who were
glad of tho opportunity to show their
loyalty to him and listen to his burning
eloquence.
The crowd present Is variously esti
' mated at from five to ten thousand.
The procession wa3 two miles Ion?.
Dozens of Hags were waving and not
less than fifty banners bearing all sorts
,of inscriptions were held aloft by en
thusiastic populists.
The speaking was in tho court house
square. The exercises were opened by
Prof. Howard's singing "We have the
tariff yet." Then McKelghan was In
troducod and was received with a
. mighty shout by the assembled
multitude. His speech was just
euch r a clear, " able and eloquent
exposition of principles as he alone can
give, and he was greeted with round
after round of applause.
.Then came the matchless orator, W,

tion, was tan most, master! v near dp.

spoke to an audience which packed the
court house almost to sumcation. He
convinced the people that instead of
being an anarchist he is a gentleman, a
scholar and a patriotic man.
York county is on fire-with enthus
Jasm. Many men who voted for the
, old parties two years ago are in line
for the entire people's ticket.
Crounse and Van Wyck,
After the bebate in Lincoln, Septem
ber 29, the republican state committee
was guilty of some performances that
may safely be set dow;i as very small.
; First, it was reported that Crounse
. had a sore eye, and must be confined to
a dark room for many days. Then
Cady, without awy consultation with
the independent state committee, went
toColuJibus o see Van Wyck, and
jactually took Crounse's place in the de-
: bate.
By false representations hs then
w . .u ii jva iiivj KJ mail' viuuuao
was too sick to continue the discus
fiions, and Van Wyck telegraphed
Chairman Blake to call off the debate
advertised for October 4, at York.
Cady then returned to Lincoln but
never had any consultation with the in
dependent committee.
Mr. Blake decided to go ahead and
fill his half of the contract between the
committees. He therefore did not call
off any of the meetings. On the even
ing of October 3, Chairman Blake and
General Van Wyck took the train for
"York. Here thev found Tiro T.n
of Lincoln sneaking out to York to steal
the meeting. When General Van
Wvck arrived in York. t.hn t.pl

ing as well as ever.
As for Ike Lansing, he started back
w Lincoln eanv tne next momma- hu
parting words Deing: "Hoys, don't for
get to start the yarn that I came down
nere on a nine business."
As for the debate. Van Wvck won
another great victory. Crounse made
aooui as many Daa oreaics as ever.

Greene In Fillmore.
Geneva, Neb.. Oct. 11. 1892,
Lditor Alliance-Ijsdependent:
W. L. Greene, of Buffalo county, de
livered an unanswerable argument at
this place on October 10. For two and
a half hours his audience listened and
cheered aud was increased in size as he
continued to drive the shots homo into
the republican listeners. Mr. Greene
made a host of friends and made votes
by his able address. The republicans

our next goveanor, but we will elect
every state omcer, every congressman
and a United States senator. Tho ro.
publicans have sent for J. M. Thurston
to counteract the effects of Mr. Greene's
speech. The speaker showed that. Ne
braska railroads were earning nearly
lour umes as mucn per mile as Iowa
roads. Where Mr. Greene makes his
speeches you can count on an independ
ent victory. u. k. k.
Dech and Hainer.
The joint debate batween Dech and
Hainer is progressing to the entire sat
isfaction of the independents. They
met at Beatrice on Friday afternoon,
the audience being rather small. Dech
made an excellent showing. The same
evening they debated again at Wymore.
The crowd was large and enthusia?tic.
Dech won a signal victory. On Satur
day they debated at Wahoo, in Dech's
own county, to an audience of some
1,200. On Monday they met at Aurora
Hainer's county. Here again they had
a large crowd, and Dech showed his
superior ability as a debatet. On Tues
day they debated at York to a fair au
a
aience.
Mr. Hainer depends chief! v on ridi
cule and authority. He ridicules esne-

ciany tne ideas of the people's party
regarding money. tie claims that
there is no such thins? a naner monev.
that the greenbacks wera not. mnnev
but a debt, that there has been no con-
A J 9 J
traction oi tne currency, etc. To
prove these things he quotes Secretary
Foster. In renlv Dech exnounds the
money question from a philosophic
stana-point. reieri to tne legal tender
acts bv which the greenbacks were de
clared "lawful money," refers to the
reports oi tne secretaries of the treas
urv durin? and after the war. and to
supreme court which declared the
greenbacks to be rronev.
At Wahoo Mr. Dech surprised TTai
uer by quoting from a speech of Geo.
W. E. Dorsey delivered in the la9t con
ffre?s. Mr. Dorsev was chairman of the
committee on banking and currency in
tne nouse, ana nence was certainly
competent to speak. Mr. Dorsey gives
tuo auiuaui ui muuoy m circulation in
1865 as $52 per capita "according to
the best authorities."
Althouerh Mr. Hainer is ono of the
best debaters his party cau furnish,
uecn is nevertheless master of the
situation.
McKelghan and Andrews atMinden
The fifth McKelghan and Andrews
debate at Minden, October 6th, was
probably the most exciting politica
meeting in the history of the county.
Andrews' chairman, McPheeley, for
years attorney for the B. & M . insult: d
the people's party by questioning their
loyalty and had the insult hurled back
by Chairman Phillips and aUo by Mc
Kelghan who are both old veterans
while neither McPheeley or Andrews
ever smelt powder. On the contrary
they are both using every effort to ad
vanco the interests of alien corpora
tions at the expense of the American
farmer.
Some of the people pulled their coats
and rushed to the platform and had not
McPheeley stopped Instantly and sat
down he would have felt the weirrht of
j -
a righteous indignation.
He afterwards attempted to apologize
but was told to shut up and had to do
doit
Minden is his home and he is liable
to find it a warm one for some time to
come.
Andrews' speech was composed of
personal insults and lies made from
whole cloth that everyone in the au
dience knew to be such. He showed
not the slightest semblance of resrard
for truth or decency, He seems not to
wiish for the farmer vote as the only
thing he promised to do for them was
to vote to keep the tax on suffar. tin.
earthenware, etc.. and for reciprocity
to follow out the policy of the great
Blaine. When they asked him anv
questions as to how he would try to
benefit them, he insulted them, and
McPheelev told them thev were not
allowed to ask questions.
Among other insultiner remarks to
the farmer, he sa'd there was an odor
coming from the farmers and their
wives on the platform that was verv
offensive to him and he turned up his
long nose and sniffed contemptuously
in that direction.
McKeisrhan had said much of the
pottery made in this country had a
poor enamel and was checked
or cracked. Andrews claimed it
not, and cited as proof
Watson Nominated.
The float convention for Otoe and
Cass met at Wesping Water, the 8th,
nominated John C. Watson for repre
sentative. The independents expect to
taK3 nis scaip in JNovemoer,
was
that McKeisran's face was cracked and
checked. This made the people fairly
boil; one old soldier yelled "he got those
marks in the army,"iand the little puppy
after heaping other "insults on Mc
Keierhan. had the cheek to declare he
o
never insulted an old soldier in bis life;
he alwavs bad erreat love and respect
for them! Time and a?ain he misauot-
ed McKeighan's words and sentiments
rignt in the lace of the icrowd before
whom the statements were made not
half hour before.

not have sense enough not to disturb
their own man. Their- instructions
were to make a noise and thev were
bound to earn their money. Some of
them swaggered around and with oaths
declared they would knock down any
man with a McKeicrhan bad ere but thev
gave that up. They had torch lights
and new uniforms bousrht with our
wheat crop, and taunted the people's
party with not being: able to have such
things. Those with badges of the
Hastings republican club went into a
lunch room run bv the ladies of the fJ.
A. R. circle and overthrew their tables
went on into the kitchen and helped
themselves to evervthine- in -ffiorht
frightening some of the ladies badly.
They do not seem to love the soldier's
wife as much as the soldier's vote. But
it would require two newspapers to give
any kind of a report of the debate, this
is enough to show you the political pot
is boiling in Kearney county.
