WHAT THE MONEY IS TOR
the People's Parly will Carry Kansas by
4ti,ooe Majority. A Plot to Mur

Jlow Doodle Is liaised ontl Kpent.
During ttc early part of tho cam
tuiigiij It appeared that thcro was not
to bu so much boodlo Uecd in t)o na
tional campaign as was used in tho last
campaign w! en Dudley arranged the
floaters in "blocks of live;" but the de
terments of tho past few days indi
cate the dose Of tho ampaign will be
marked by tho most lavirh use of cor
ruption money ever known in tho his
tory of American polices. There
seems to bo little f flort at concealment
In tho mat'er. Tho Pittsburg Dis
patch, a republican paper, a few days
ago, published tho following, appar
ently with a view of encouraging and
l'C-Ussuring tho republicans:
Next week tho goodly sum already a
their tho National Committee's dis
posal will bo swelled by a round million
i f good crhp dollars, which can bo used
to great advantago during tho latter
days of iho campaign and especially on
the last election) day. ThU blj sum is
the donation of protected manufacturers.
It irill be txpcndtd in New York in an at
tempt to carry the State for Harrison.
Here wo find not even a prctenso of
using these funds for "educaonal pur
poses." They aro to bo used in "the
latter day? of the campaign especially
tho last day." They aro in fact to bo
used in outright rote buying.
Tho New York World publishes a
fac simile of tho following letter writ
ted by Chairman Hackett, of tho re
publican committee of Now .York to a
chairman of a county committee:

Fifth Avenue Hotel, f
New York, Oct. 17, 1992.
My Dear Sir:
I encloso you check for $300. This is
to bo used in getting a full registration
in vnur Country Districts. I don't cx-
neet anv of it to bo used in the Cities,

Although the democrats, as usual, are
howling loudly about tho use of money
by republicans, it is ovident that they
aro collecting and using all tho money
they can get. If they have less boodle
to uso in tho latter days or tno cam
nnirrn. it is sitnnlv becauso they have
fewer selfish interests out of which
'fry the fat.".
a
victory this car" in Kansas means ruin
to tho People's party find they reali
ing this fact are making a very stubborn
fight. The success of the People's party
this jer in Kansas means the surrend
er of" Kansas to ft very , dangerous ele
ment In politics. 'The uefeat of
tho Republican pary this year In Kdn
as and the turning over of tho stato
government to the opposition, would
place Kansas in a doubtful cjiunan at
least, for years to come.
The stato committee and nfarly all
candidates interested in this campaign
havo had a consultation; and havo re
quested mo to appeal to jou and to
every Kansas repnblican who has Oeen
favored by the party to como to our relief.
This appeal is signed by tho secretary
of tho sta'e committee. Tho effort to
assess federal office-holders is in direct
violation of the U. S. Civil service law,
but what does law amount to when re
publican supremacy is in danger?
What U this mony to bo used for? Is
it for educational purposed If so, why
is it needed so badly just at the close of
the campaign? It is to bo used simply
as a corruption fund.
Hut the effort to purchase a republi
can victory in Kansas will provo futile.
Cha'rman Bre'dcnthal of the people's
state committee, gives forth tho confi
dent claim based on a careful poll of the
state that the people's party state and
national Uriels will carry the state by not
Uss than forty thousand.
Tho greatest sensation of tho cam
paign in Kansas has been the discovery
of a plot to murder Jerry Simpson.
his plot lias been frustrated by its
discovery, une oi tne conepirators got
runk and gave tho thing away.
Kansas is simply on fire with enthusi

3IeikleJohrt Fixes Up a Scheme With
Democratic Bankers.
Wayne, Neb , Oct. 26, 1892.
Ed. Alliance Independent: Ever
sinoo Meiklejohn's first visit here,
when the democratic bankers sought
and obtai ned a private conference, the
populists have been wr.tcbing for some
public announcement that would assist
in carrying out the scheme concocted
early in tho campaign. It has come at
last in the form of a concession by the
republican state committee that Keiper
will bo elected by at least 1,000 major
ity. What means this from a party
whose coommittecs and candidates are
proverbial for claiming everything
even in the face of overwhelming de
feat? It means that the honest, rural
democrats are to be deceived into vot
ing for Dr. Keiper, while tho knowing
ones in the towns will ba induced by
the banking and railroad bosses into
voting for Mr. Meiklejohn.
The corporations havo no use for
either Keiper or Poynter. hence their
slight of hand performance to elect
their free pass candidate. If the patri
otic democrats were not blinded by party
spirit, they would check-mate this
move by making Poynter's election cer
tain. If the committee is honest in con
ceding Kieper's election, why do the cor
porations continue to pass Mr. Meikle
john and party 'free over their lines?
Because my honest democratic friends,
this startling confession by the com
mittee is for the purpose of flattering
the farmers into voting ;it straight
while the knowing ones of your party
voto it straight for railroad attorney
and capper, Mr. Meiklejohn. If they
succeed in their starichamber scheme,
please write mo after election and I
will send our fool killer around to dis
patch you from your miseries.

Tho republicans are making a las
desperate effort to stem tho tide. Tho
republican stato committee is fending
dospcrato appeals for funds and try in
to extort contributions from republican
office holders. Tho Non-Conformist
last week published a verbatine copy o
ono of these appeals in which tho follow
ing language is used:
"While wo are making good gains,
great gains are necessary to win tho
light. We believe we can save the
electoral ticket if we can secure funds
sufficient to push this campaign vigor

Rally at Weston.
Weston, Neb , Oct. 24, TU2.
A big independent rally was held at
this place Saturday night. Jamison's
hall was packed with a large and en
thusiastic crowd. Hon. J. W. Ldger-
ton delivered an eloquent and convinc
ing speech in favor of free coinage of
ilvcr and fiat money. He touched
ightly oa transportation, state issues,
eulogized General Weaver acd at the
request of a "republican rebel hater
paid a line tribute ot praise to our
noble and patriotic citizen, General
Fields.
IYof. E. W. Crano of North Platte
brought tao house down by singing his
famous campaign songs. "We nave tne

The politicians are desperate. The

the campaign progresses the last dying
kicks will ba a spectacle of horror. The
stago of corruption which admits all

ed. Anything to save the old burro!
Let every friend of labor look out for
false charges against tho nominees on
the people's ticket. Brand everything
as false that is declared too lato for
contradiction. It is an old and despic
able trick. Remember that personal
defamation at the eleventh hour is but
tho acknowledgement of defeat. False
hood is the last resort, the only hope
of tho old gang. Look out for the roor

A Word of Scripture.
James 5: 1-6. "Go to now, ye rich
men, weep and howl for your miseries
that shall come upon you. Your riches
are corrupted and your garments are
moth-eaten. Your gold and silver is
cankered; and the rust of them shall be
a witness against you, and shall eat
your flesh as it were ' fire. Ye have
heaped treasure together, for the last
day. Behold, the hire of the laborers
who have reaped down your fields,
which is of you kept back by fraud,
crieth: and the cries of them which have
reaped are entered into the ears of tho
Lord of Sabaoth. Yo have lived in
pleasure on the earth, and been wanton:
ye nave nourisnea your neart, as in a
day of slaughter."
if these verses do not shout of to-dav.
with the rich becoming richer, and the
poor poorer, of what age do they speak?
The vast fortunes of to-day, used as
they chiefly are I thank God for some
exceptions are a menace to widespread
and equalized prosperity, as well as an
exciting cause of jealousy and cupidity
among tho working classes, particularly
when they realize how many such for
tunes were made; therefore, a growing
hatred of the rich and powerful class;
and a cry, becoming louder and louder,
'We must combine as one man, in order
to ob'ain just recompense, and a fair
working-day." It is a common remark
and an accepted truth to-day that the
rich criminal frequently escapes, where
the poor one has not even a chance of
doing so. Does not such justico cry to
neaven."
We have all along contemplated reduciogt

glad to announce that prices will bo way

forced to sell hitherto at nearly ordinary
