out side Of the common every day
drudgery that is necessary TO keep soul

papers who don't want TO see the farm

undoubtedly break into the calcula-

Of those same papers. While it is the
wish Of the majority Of newspapers to

of the Farmers Alliance in Kansas
A fact will boar us sout in this asser-
tion, there were TOO many candidates
in the field, hence the old saying 'too
many cooks spoiled the broth" 1t
cannot be doubted for a moment but
that the farmers Alliance as an Order
is in great need of II thorough ALI
ance paper, published by an Alliance
man and in strict accordance with the
/ Alliance doctrine. Now is the time TO
net upon this matter. AS there is at
present four papers aspiring for the
notoriety and asking the support of
| the Alliance men in the state. But
there are but two Of these that are
strictly Alliance papers and edited by
members of the Order. Those two
are the Dexter Free Press and the
| ADVOCATE published at Meriden, Kan.
As no one paper was selected by the
| Order mt the State meeting We believe
/ it would be in accordance with the
views Of the majority present ut the
Stuto meeting and that the majority
Of the members in the state would be
we'll satisfied to take up the two pa
pcrS for their standard bearers. The
Farmers Alliance OF Southern Kun
sas cnu have full control OF the col
unns Of Che Free Press, while the Al
liance men in the northern part OF the
state Gun enjoy the same privilege
through tho ADVOCATE. Now breth-
rem it all depends on You whether you
support two papers that will give the
full text Of the Alliance news the pro-
grcss and benefits of The Order, or
let this business go and allow ALI
ancc papers to spring up all over the
state, run by outsidopartios who have
no sympathy with the Alliance, except
10 get the inside track for their polit-
ical friends and receive their reward
through II financial benefit thy the sub
scriptions of the Alliance members.
This paper has been with you so far
through thick and thin. 1t has adj
yocote1 your rights through a stand
point of personal experience. We
have given you a fair and impartial
tcst as to our thoughts and sincerity.
You have done we'll by us, but we
know the great need of on Alliance
paper which should DO read by thous-
ands of Alliance men and women IN
the south half Of the state, that we
feel you could do no better than to
make the Free Press your recognized
Organ. You can adopt the tree Press
by counties and therefore do your
selves and us a great benefit. 1t is
very essential chat there should be one
or two papers in the state, made strong
enough by tho united support of tho
Alliance to copo with Che outside pa
pers of the stOte, who are at all times
turning cold shoulder to the cause
or casting insinuOtions that have II
tendency to depreciOte the cause
of tho Farmers Alliance. The Free

questions as formidable menace 10 the
peace Of Europe, and criticized AZ length the
governments work and claimed all its use
ful measures were liberal. The speech was
short and somewhat disappointing. Glad
stone made point by declaring that the
principles of the dock strikers applied to
the tenants and tradesman in ireland would
have been penal. He was touched by the
election gains and believed that il they
could end the Septemnial act, and appeal 10
the people 10 morrow. the verdict would he

The bulk of his speech was devoted to Irish
grievances. He said the necessity of con-
tinued proclniming Of new districts wis nm
evidence Of the failure Of the coercion pol

the same as i'm 1854, when in order TO secure
the support Of the panellites, the Tories
declared coercion was no longer necessary.

BUTTE, Oct. 23-lSpecial. Eugene Sui
livan, the democratic candidate for sheriff
in the recent election, who is elected with
the vote of the Tunnel precinct counted,
this evening filed notice of n contest of the
election, and took out the necessary papers.
The same action has been taken by J. J.
Mediation. candidate for district judge,
who is in the same position. Harry Hynes,
candidate for assessor, and J. W. Murphy,
candidate for public administrator, are in
the same situation, and they will file notice
of a contest tomorrow.
II will be remembered that the
original mandnmus proceedings in the
district court were instituted by the
candidate ON the legislative ticket alone
The county candidates defeated by the
throwing out of the Tunnel precinct, took
no steps whatever. There is question in
the minds of the ablest lawyers in Butte, as
TO whether or not the legislature and county
candidates do not stand ON an entirely diff
ferent footing in the courts. II IL consid-
cred a doubtful matter whether or not the
district court will decide that il has juris-
diction in matters pertaining 60 the compo-
sition of the Legislative body. In the
event that the court should decide that
il had no jurisdiction, there would bc
no proceedings before il in regard 10 COM
pelling the canvassing board 10 count the
vote of the Tunnel precinct. The county
officers would thus be left without redress,
inasmuoh ~ the law provides thnt any con-
test, if il is to he considered at all, must be
filed within ten days after the declaration
of the result of the election. The demo-
Gratis have been too sharp TO be caught nap
ping in the matter, and as tomorrow il the
tenth day since the decision of the can
vassing board, the contests will all be filed
with the county clerk before noon.
The approaching legal battle before Judge
Dowolfc on Monday il creating tremen-
dous amount Of discussion, though the de
bates are not 10 acrimonious as they we're
week ago. There are plenty of democrats
in Butte who believe that u strong effort has
been made for Judge DeWolfes removal,
and that his Judicial head may fall beneath
! the Harrison axe before Monday. The
democratic party Of Montana could not ask
n greater favor at the hands of the admins
| tration than such an act. II would be &C.
verely criticised by three-fourths Of the re
publicans here.
