tion of the wine Of the Bandana club of
Leavenworth, by the city marshal, has
not yet been satisfactorily adjusted TO the
minds of members OF said club. AT a re-
cent meeting of the club the toll
lowing resolution was passed:
Resolved, That the executive commit
tee of this club prepare bill for the value
of the property taken and expenses incur
red in consequence thereof against the
commissioners and policemen and hand to
the counsel for the club, who shall present
the same to the board of police commits
sioners and to each of them separately and
to each of the policemen who took and
destroyed the property, and if payment of
the same is not made on such demand,
then said counsel shall be authorized in
the name of this club to institute such
action in the proper court for such an
amount as i'll his judgment shall be
proper
Col w. p. Tomlinson, of the Topeka
Democrat, is quoted as follows in regard
to the coming senatorial election: 81 am
inclined TO think that the Republican
leaders know what they are talking about
when they claim votes enough TO re-elect
ingalls,. And ] am not in a position TO
blame Democrats who vote for him. If
they are forced to decide between Ingalls,
and some hayseed from the swamps. they
would naturally vote for the Republican,
rs ! would. ! have no faith in the PeO-
pies party. IL is run by certain men
solely for their own benefit and is in the
hands of a tyrannical executive committee
whose dictation no American will stand
If man wants TO run an Alliance paper,
he must have written authority, and then
must submit To dictatiOn. uuquestioning
or be closed up. The Alliance editor gives
up his manhood and becomes a mere tool
for a set OF ignorant men.
"TheIe is n prospect that p. =. Elder
will have something to say in this sena-
torial muddle He will not Weld his in
dividuality to any Alliance executive COM
mittee. He is not saying much now, but
you viii hear from him soon, and will find
that be is in the fight for some purpose
PETER will be sat down upon, and Will
fight back.
Personally. have nothing against In
gals, and will have no regrets If he is re
elected. will not oppose him, nor will /
oppose any Democrat who is in favor of
him. j believe he viii receive some Demo
cratic votes. The only question in my
mind now is, How many Alliance votes
viii he receive?
Il do not take much stock in the Ali
ance convention called 10 meet the day be-
fore the senatorial election. II will only
complicate matters for the Alliance.
The Alliance is now most surely at its
zenith. Ii viii not appear in 1872 a. a
party any more than the st. John Prohi-
bitionists appeared the second time. There
are but two parties which In 90 will count
up nine tenths OF all the votes of the
country, the Democratic aad Republican
parties"
The Farmers Alliance last week called
meeting TO be held at Efingham yester-
day. The meeting was held, and there
was large attendance The object of the
meeting was TO adopt resolutions TO in
struct State Senator Henry Eilisto1. OF
Atchison, 10 vote against the reelection
of United States Senator Ingalls,. There
are conflicting reports of the action Of the
meeting. but Il is learned from a trust
worthy Democrat and an opponent OF Sen
ator Ingalls,. who was az the Meeting. that
the promised resolution wa> not intro
0uced. nor was the name Of Mr. Elliston
mentioned "a the meeting. which lasted
seven hours There was Al aDti-Iugalls
resolution introduced, but no formal ac-
/ tiou WAS taken, it's friends fearing 10 puSh
( il TO vote. A compromise resolution
was finally adopted, requesting Fisher, sc
| Alliance representative, Dot to vote for
any man for United States senator who
would not indorse the st. Louis Platform
