the utter ialsehood Of the reports
published in the Capital in relation
30 the condemnation by the alliance
OF that county Of the action Of the
county presidents at their recent ses-
sion in Topeka, in adopting what is
known as the Ingalls, resolution. For
b few days past republican papers
that are supporting Ingalls, have been
industriously circulating the report
chat the Dickinson county alliance
had adopted a similar resolution OF
condemnation. Some of these papers
have even published the full text Of
such resolution, and the report has
been copied as an item Of news into
the columns Of few papers that are
friendly TO the alliance.
We give below a letter from the
president Of the Dickinson county al
lance, which will show how utterly
unworthy Of confidence these mscru-
pulous political shysters are, and how
certainly we may determine, without
waiting for contradiction, the prOba-
BILE falsehood Of every statement rela-
tive TO the alliance that may be found
in their columns We have certain
other facts in relation to other reports
OF a similar character which will be
brought out at a later date. We pro-
pose to hunt down these falsehOods as
rapidly as possible and expose them.
The great trouble in this matter is
chat a lie can be Concocted in a mo-
ment in newspaper Office that has
had as much experience as these par
tisan papers have, while it takes time
TO get the facts to contradict it. Then
again, these dailies have six days in
the week to publish their falsehoods,
while we have only one day in which
10 correct them. This persistent
Justification is Che regulation system
Of partisan campaigning, and it re-
mains to be seen whether the people
viii again permit themselves to be
gulled by it.
The following is the letter referred
TO:
SOLOMON CITY, April p, 1900
EDITOR ADVOCATE Our county alliance met
At the Smith hall In Abilene, Saturday, April ~.
ThlTty-seyen alliances were represented, and we
had TOusing good time all around. The best Of
good feeling prevailed, and every lect handled
had the unanimous consent Of all delegates, re-
ports tO the contrary notwithstanding. The poll
tlcian was abroad, and used every effort tO learn
the nature Of Our work, and for want OF accurate
information started the report that we had hot
discussion over the resolution adopted at Topeka
NJ the presidents conference lately held there,
where the action Of John j. Ingalls, was properly
condemned, ! should not reply To this report
did not know that some OF our members are
creduIous and are ready 10 believe anything the
editor Of county paper may assert 30 far are
these reports from tho actual truth, deen II my
duty 10 state that the namo Of John j. Ingalls,
was not spoken during the whole session, To my
knowledge, We are In full accord with the To-
peka conference In the work II planned, In fact
our people are a unit in their determination 30
lay aside anything that would hinder us from OBJ
tanning our rights and equal privileges with all
classes. This denial is not necessary for our
members Of this county; but Is Intended 10 act as
awRrning for members Of other counties not 10
pay heed to the lntrgues Of the politicians. We
