r-:: AIL 1' f THE ALLIANCE -INDEPENDENT. ; - ' 1 WEDNESDAY'S BALLY. Wag it a success? Well, you would have thought so If you had been there. There was a good deal of anxiety seen on the faces of independents Wednes day morning, but on Thursday morn ing, every independnt's face was as broad and smiling as a field of clover. Oi the other hand, the faces of republicans showed a strange mixture of rage and gloom. A success? Of course it was, an im mense success in spite of rain and mud. The parade was a success. The after noon and evening meetings were both splendid successes. It is impossible for us to give a full account of it. The parade was nearly a mile long. There must have been at least 1,500 voters In it. And that was only a small fraction of the crowd of independents in the city. The finest float was that of the Oak Valley Alli ance designed by'F. Schweizer. In the afternoon, Bohanan's hall was filled to over-flowing, standing room and all. After a number of songs by Prof. Howard, and W. B. Kennedy, General Weaver and Mrs. Lease en tered, and were received with .a tre mendious cheer. General Weaver spoke first, and showed himself to be a grand man and a magnificent orator. He told of the wonderful out-pouring of the people in all parts of the nation. Then he launched out into a brief dis cussion of the issues which for clear ness and forco could not be excelled Time and again he was cheered. OThen Mrs. Leese came forward. Her manner and voice are peculiar, and her eloquence is matchless. She won the admiration and the hearts of her hearers. She referred particularly to the interviews reported in the papers, and said they all left out one thing: She had stated that the situation in the south could never be relieved through the republican party, for the existing evils had grown up under the republi can rule. Both speakers predicted a wonderful victory for the people on November 8:h. In the evening there was a torch light procassion, and by all odds the finest and largest of the campaign. There were at least 543 torches in line. And thousands of people lined the streets to see the parade. Bohannan's hall was again crowded. W. L. Greene's address was a rare treat to the audience. Many of those present never heard anything like it. For flights of eloquence, for majesty of logic, and clearness of illustration, Greene has no superior. Ho held that audience spell-bound for two hours. The enthusiasm both afternoon and evening was something immense. Foraker and McKinley have both been in Lincoln within three months, but the enthusiasm they stirred up was nothing in comparison to that of the populists on Wednesday. There is no doubt whatever that this imeeting has done the cause great good, lit has given the new party prestige ;and renewed determination. It has : aroused the minds of hundreds of voters who were indifferent before. 'The effect of this great meeliag will 3 materialize into a victory for the inde ipendent ticket in Lancaster county next Tuesday. The disorderly classes don't want "Rose for county attorney because it will be his duty to prosecute law breakers, and he will do his duty. "Why do the disorderly classes want "Woodward? in A BAHK DEMAGOGUE. J. C. F. McKesson has gone abou over the county tellin? the farmers that ho was mainly instrumental getting a bill through the last legisla ture making the cities pay half the ex penses of improving the country roads A ranker trick of demagoguery was never played. Here are the facts: House Roll 357 provided that where a piece of road running into a citjwas to be improved, in case the improvement waa equally beneficial to the city and country, the commissioners might charge half the expense to the city. It has nothing to do with country road. The bill was introduced by Breen of Omaha, a democrat. It passed by 78 ayes and 7 noes. Cornish, Oakley, Gillilan, three other republicans and one independent voted against it, and Severin dodged the vote. McKesson was the only member from this county who voted for it, and he did rothing for it, except to vote. Now that is all the foundation there is for his great claims. If he was such a farmers,1 champion, why didn't he vote for the Newberry bill, and other bills in the interest of the farmers? THE JOURNAL LIES. On Thursday morning the Journal announced in large headlines: "A parade of 226 voters in daylight and 131 torches in line at night." This Is about as near as the Journal ever comes to the truth. There were between one and two thousand voters in the day procession, and 548 torches at night by actual count, Register on Saturday if you want to vote. It is your last chance. Vote for R T. Chambers, and get all your neighbors to vote for him. R. E. MOORE represents the bankers and railroad kings. McNerney stands for 1 he people. Take your choice. The committees and officers who managed the rally on Wednesday de serve great credit for their good work. The B. $ M. on Friday morning issued orders to all Us employees to vole for Crounse and the republican couuty ticket. Do you want to see this county dis graced with Joe Burns in the next legislature? Then vote and work for Mart Howe. Machine republicans hate Leese be cause he was always man enough to stand up for the right and defy the machine. - McKesson parades himself a3 a friend of the farmer, but th3 railroads own him. Griffin is a farmer who will represent the interest of his class. Two years ago, Al Cornish played the laboring men for suckers. This year they will leave Al at home, and send Meddins who is a genuine labor ing man. - - ' The B. & M. Journal comes out in unqualified praise of the whole repub lican county ticket. That it ought to deleat the ticket, for everything the Journal says in politics should be read backwards. Al Bixby is the fellow who writes the funny political verses in the Jour nal. He can lie quite as voluminously, and much more artistically in poetry than Hathaway and Gere can in proso. Al ought to be called the "singing liar." "Our Italy," So Charles Dudley Warner happily terms California, and for a winter re sort that glorious state is without a pear.
