THE ALLIANCE -INDEPENDENT.
NOT EXPLAINED.
Among the things the present state
officers have failed to explain are the
following:
First Why they allowed pay for
1,400 tons of coal for the Lincoln asylum
for June, July and August, 1891, when
during the same three months in 1892
only ll'A tons were needed.
Second Why they approved vouch
era that were not signed a plain viola
Hon of law. -
Third Why they approved and paid
claims for supplies which the present
superintendent of the asylum says were
never delivered to the institution.
j?ourtn wny vouchers were ap
proved that had signatures forged on
them.
" Fifth Why a great many warrants
were paid with forged signatures on
the back -a fact they could not help
knowing.
Sixth Why they didn't investigate
the Norfolk insane hospital.
Seventh Why they settled with the
defaulting treasurer of Valley county
for $1,247 less than the judgment called
for a plain violation of the constitution
and laws of the state?
Eighth Why tho state has been
robbed of $70,000 by the non-investment
of the permanent school fund as
required by law.
Ninth Why Joo Burns and Dan
Lauer were permitted to steal 120
acres of school land near the asylum.
Tenth Why the republican state
committee was allowed to furnish its
headquarters with state furniture.
Eleventh Why no investigation has
been made of The Alliance-Independent's
charges concerning tho disap
pearance of state property.
These are exceedingly serious
charges. All of them have been made
by The Alliance-Independent, and
most of them by the Omaha World
Herald, and they have been given gen
eral currency throughout the state.
Most of these charges have been sup
ported by Indisputable proof.
Why do the state officers ignore
these charges? If they are false, these
state officers have been cruelly libeled,
and could send persons who are re
sponsible for the charges to the peni
tentiary. If they aro true, the officers
charged with these illegal and corrupt
acts deserve to go to the penitentiary
themselves.
There is but one rational explanation
of the conduct of these republican offi
cials who are candidates for re-election:
They can neither explain the charges,
nor defend their acts: hence they leep
silent ', hoping to be re-elected throvgh the
sheer force of political machinery and par
tisan prejudice.
But they aro hoping asrainst hone.
They are misjudging voters of this
state. The day has past when a repub
lican nomination means an election re
gardless of tho character or principles
of the candidate.
The reason and conscience of Ne
braska voters is awake. This year the
people are going to vote for themselves,
and for the honor and prosperity of tho
state . They are only waiting for No
vember 8th, to forever end Nebraska's
disgrace.
WHAT 0R0UN8E STANDS TOE.
Tho following are a few of the cam
paign utterances of Lorenzo Crounse,
who asks the voters of Nebraska to
make him governor on November 8th.
Kead these and decide whether he is
the kind of a man you want for gov
ernor.
This is the way he explains the
origin of the alliance movement:
"Two vears sluo owin? to two succes-
aivtj xauurus vi cruus. sumemm? unure-
ccdentcd in the state, and the coase
quent feeling of discontent, Nebraska
fell largely into the alliance move
A 4
mem.
And this is the way he sizes up the
reform movement:
"The tak of General Van Wvck and
other independent speakers consists of
appeals to jsrnorant nreiudice aud nas
sion for the purpose of stirring up dis
content."
And here are bis ideas of finance re
form:
"There is onlv one honest dollar that.
which has the intrinsic value of a dollar.
Tho men who want to pay their debts
in depreciated currency aro scamps and
scoundrels Thev ous?ht not belonr tn
he republican Dartv. I don't want, to
T--l A ll . - . .
oo elected dv tne votes or sueh men. T
am a proud man, and belong to a proud
amiiy."
And this is his estimate of the Mill
ionaires and also oi the masses:
"I am erlad we have in this enunt.rv
such men as Carnegie. We have thir
teen millionaires in Nebraska, and T
wish we had fifty. The man who
whoops against the millionaires, simply
uvno v.apa.itjc iu ilia WJJJ-pitJCe.
Hero is the remedy he presents to
the farmers with his compliments:
"If you farmers would ouit standi
'round the street corners talking poli-
ties, and would save tto money you
throw in the hat at your meetings to
buy frocks and shoes for vour 'child' rpn
you'd get on better."
Here is his opinion of the brave old
soldiers who como'ain beeavs tho
bond-hoMers, were paid in gold while
the gun-holders had to put up with
paper worth from thir?y-five to fifty
cents on the dollar:
Again the voice of the business world
gives the lie to the prosperity
shr.efcers. 11. O. Dunn & Co. 's report
for October says:
Shipments of wheat werft lit, Mo mnrA
than half as large as last year, and the
average price 809. atrainst ftl.ou last,
year. Cotton exports were 21,000,000
puuuas less and tne average price 7.23c.
ugainsi y..jic last year.
Smaller exports and lower prices!
Where is tho "law of supply and de
mand?" Where is the McKinley bill?
Where is reciprocity? Where is the
home market? Will some good repub
lican kindly trot out some explanation
for this state of things?

Don't Worry About Them.
We would respectfully suggest that it
is not for tho people's party to Jburden
themselves with anxiety lest by their
vote one of the old parties shall be
harmed or the other one benefitted. It
is the supremo duty of the hour to
"hew to the line, let the chips fall
where they may." Neither old party
is solicitous for our welfare, wby worry
ourselves for them? If we are right,
one or both of them must fall and the
elements of opposition will concentrate
in the survivor. Then let no man bo
disheartened. The people's party is
the balance of power, and it will be a
grand victory to prevent either Harri
son or Cleveland getting 223 votes on
the eighth of November Nonconfor
