AT CHENEY.
The Republican rally at Cheney on Fri
day night was a splendid success. County
Committeeman A. S Marble called the
meeting to order. The meeting was adj
dress by 6. A. Brooks, who in a mastery
review of the situation, said that the hard
times which oppressed the people of Kan
Sas, reached all classes, even the mortgage
companies, who were so roundly berated,
were rapidly becoming bankrupts; this was
an evidence that they could not prosper
where the farmer was successful We are
interested in the success of the farmer. He
then showed thstth political parties were
not responsible for the hard times. That
the hard times had brought about the AL
lance movement; that the legislation of
the Republican party had been constantly
in the interest of the farming element. He
spoke of the reduction in the tariff-the
silver bili the antitrust and combine bill;
the pension bill and other matters of inter
est to the farmer. He alluded to the fact
that the Kansas legislature had always
been composed of majority of farmers,
and that they had made laws to suit them
selves, including the exemption of the la
borers' wages the homestead and house
hold goods, aud the fact that the laborer
had by virtue of the law a lien for his
work. He also referred to the several
platforms of the several parties; that they
all demanded much the same thing; that
the Republican party was the only party
TO whom the people could look for per
Torrance of their pledge to the people.
Mr.. Brooks spoke for an hour and half
and was heard with the most earnest
attention.
p. A. Rohrbaugh was then introduced.
He said if our former friend should have
offered them the things then orators were
demanding, like the old donkey who pray
ed for God to come right away and take
him to heaven. When the Lord knocked
for admittance he insisted that he didn't
mean what he said 1t was only form OF
prayer. He referred briefly to the vision
AIRY schemes of these orators to purchase
the railroads, build warehouses. lend
money at l per cent to the people, aud he
spoke of the ineSorable law OF nature and
society which required that by the sweat
OF the face man should eat his bread; that
all valuable things were only to be had by
labor and economy, and the man who went
into the great Kansgs boom and lost his
all ought to take his medicine like a man.

necessary laws of trade. He spoke also of
the fact that no secret political organiza-
ton could exist in free country; that any
which sought to make laws |
to control and affect all the citizens must !
be open to the inspection of all men; that |
such an organization is inimical and dan
gerous to free institutions and would not |
be tolerated by the people. That the DEM /

farmer to defeat John j. Ingalls,, man |
who by his own inherent strength was /

galaxy of states. Mr.. Rohrbaugh spoke |
for an hour in happy vein which kept his |
in a humorous mood.
The meeting wos great success in num-
bers and enthusiasm. Mr.. Marble says |
the Republicans are all right at Cheney, |
and we may add that Mr. Marble is an !
active and enthusiastic committeeman.
