our opponents do not cry politics"
any more, it may be of interest to say
that the Alliance still lives. More
than that we n1oUe. Enterprise 2, A.

Tuesday evening, at which time oil
are invited to be present. An inter

open alliance and question for gen
eral discussion. We say to all come,
and we will convince you that we are
not ''lunatics,' nor ''rebels." Come
out and join with the 'cob-peddlers"
(who have not sense enough to salt
their cattle'') in discussing the ques-
tiOns of interest to the whole country.
| We mean to show to the country that
we are both loyal and in earnest.
While in this vein, Mr.. Editor, we
can not refrain from commenting on
an article, copied recently, by the
! Dispatch from the Western Veteran.
The writer says, Il refer now to the
old soldiers. Some of the qualities

bic degree in some of them;" and he
| goes on with a lot of nonsense and
abuse all because of the fact that
! John j. Ingalls, sentence was pro-
nounced on the 4th of Nov. by the
people. Why should this Mr.. Finney
be SO cast down? Are the old soldiers
interests all that is at stake? Does
he think that of the 64,OO0.OO0 of peo-
pie in the United States there are no
interests to be protected but the old
soldiers? Let no one say that ped"
is against the gallant defenders of
the country. Far from 1t. We are
the son of a soldier who volunteered
IN time for Fort Donnelson: who fol-
lowed Hood over the mountains of
Tennessee; who finally died from the
effect of his army life. There is moth
ing we would not do for the soldier
as far as we are able, and we think
there are many more like ourself.
| Capt. Finney and all others like him
should learn from the last election
this lesson-that the war is over; that
the time is past for sectional differ
ences; that all good, true patriots de-
sire that our country be free and
united. Mr.. Ingalls, successor must
be the friend of the soldier and the
representative of the people.
The following from the Farm and
FfreSide Is worth reading and should
commend itself to all:
1T is full time for the nation to be-
come united. Let the hosts of the
army In blue who faced shot and
shell declare whether they did so to
maintain and perpetuate a more per-
feet union, or to divide the nation in
to sections. If the former, let us see
to it. that those who fell did not perish
IN vain. Let US see to it that those
Of our comrades who survive may live
to see the country redeemed and it's
| liberty restored. Down with all sec
tional linesl Away with all sectional
prejudicesl Let the fires of patriot
ism that still burn in the hearts of the
people consume the prejudices of the
past Let one flag float over US and
one spirit so perfectly pervade our
hearts, that we shall be able and will
ing TO stand shoulder to shoulder in
the great army that must make last
ing conquest of the hosts of corporate
greed that are fattening upon the
stolen. substance of the people"
Now as to Mr.. ingalls,. What has
he done to merit, a longer term of
service? Remember the Peoples
platform demands all that the sold
iers ask. and besides that, some things
that will benefit all. Please remem-
