Of tbe Christian churcb.

member OF the Christian church.
He was a republican from the In
ception of the party, voting the re-.
publican ticket as a matter of pref
'rence and principle though h3 has
never been a strong partisan and
would never vote for man with a
shady record, when convinced that
his opponent was the better man and
better qualified He voted for Ere
mont, for Lincoln twice, for GARFIELD,
for Blaine, and voted for Harrison
under protest, hoping against belief
that his administration would espouse
the cause Of the people. He has ex-
pressed his utter disappointment on
this score ever since the new admin
istration took charge of affairs, and
has been a vigorous champion of the
alliance ever since it obtained a foot
hold in the west.
MIR Baker has always seemed to be
destitute of ambition, as the word is
understood by most people, and was
never a candidate for Office. His
friends ran him a few years ago for
trustee and he received for that posi-
ton every vote polled in his town
ship.
In his private life and business re-
lations Mr.. Baker is above rse coach
and IS active and progressive in
church and Sunday school work.
Mr.. Baker is not an orator, but he
is a ready and fluent archaeological.

and can hold an audience of thinking
people as long as he wants TO.
He will carry Lincoln county by an
overwhelming majority and he hal

dence of the few who viii not vote

The Alliance Candidate for Con
gress.
Here is what VIM. Bakers home
paper, the Lincoln BeaeQa, says of
him:
"William Baker, the nominee of
the Hill City alliance convention, was
born April 20, 1881, in Washington
county, Pennsylvania. on a farm,
where he lived until p years of age.
His early life was devoted to hard
work which was relieved by very
seant opportunities for attending
school. These opportunities were
we'll enough improved, however, to
qualify him to enter Washington col
Iege, at Waynesburg, upon reaching
his majority, from which institution
he graduated in 1856. Up to this
time his life had been only a success
sion of alternating hard manuel labor
and equally hard work in school OF
college.
After graduating he engaged il
teaching and followed this pursuit
for many years:
He was married IN 1858 to MAga
Philena Griffith. Mr.. and Mrs. Baker
are the parents of eight children
three sons and five daughters.
He removed to Iowa in 1859, where
he resided for seven years, being
principal Of the Council Bluffs schools
from SO to $50. In 1862 he removed
to Marshall county, lowe, where hg
+iiEEadi E gHflttill Rts faFaln is Washington
county. Pennsylvania, In 1856.
Mr.. Baker, with his family, came
to Lincoln county, Kansas, in 1873,
and settled upon the farm where they
now reside, at Orworth, eight miles
from Lincoln, and where he has since
engaged exclusively in farming.
For many years he was e 'saamPer

This new movement is one of ne
cessity. It has become evident to the
most careless observer that no relief
is to be expected under existing party
leadership, and if the Alliance does
not intend to disbaxd and go back to
where it came from without anything
to show for its work, it must take this
Independent action in order to com
pei respect and win success. Let us
go straight ahead. slowly but surely;
and if parties take US up and carry
US to victory, so much the better. But
we must not let go our hold of a sin
gle point gained. This work was not
begun for play, nor was it ever in
tended that the chief end and aim of
the Alliance is to appear we'll on dress
parade. Let the friends stand to-
gether sOlidly aud they will secure
all they ask for-if not the first year,
then afterwards. Let no mere parti-
san appeals divide US. All our re-
sources will be drawn upon to their
utmost, and all our strength will be
needed. The work ahead is hard
work, but it must be done. The issue
comes very close to the homes of the
people. The money power has con-
troll of our national and State Iegisla-
ton; it has taken from the people
about all the control they ever had of
their own business; it has fastened
upon them an intolerable burden of
Indebtedness, it has brought low
prices, stagnation and ruin. The rich
grow richer, while the conditions OF
the rest of US is growing worse every
year. It is against this great wrong
that the people are protesting. The
protest has ripened into rebellion
and there is no reason for expecting
success save in united work along the
same line. AS our patriot slres stooc
together, so let us stand. Kansas

Maj. w. H. Caldwell APPOINTED
Receiver

Receiver
Editor W. H. Caldwell, of the Be-
lott Courier, has this to say about his
appointment as Receiver of the Kir-
win Land Office:
The credit of our appointment is
altogether due and is most cbeerfullv
accorded to Hon. E. j. Turner. vet
we cannot harbor i'll feelings toward
either of the Senators, nOtwithstand-
ing we believe that Mr. Ingalls, was
not especially in love with us. If,
therefore, we were of that disposition
that leads TO spite on personal
grounds, we would turn loose against
the brilliant Senator; but in the in
terests of the country, of the State of
Kansas, of the republican party, and
of the people in general we curb any
such ambition, and support for a re-
turn to the high and honorable place
that he has so highly honored, John
j. ingalls,, for q. S. Senator.
In accepting the appointment made
by Hon. E. j. Turner, we do so with
no Ioftier admiration for him as
man and statesman than we have
! maintained for many years. He is
no more worthy in our sight because
of his partiality toward us. We have
known him intimately for more than
a quarter of a century, and have al
ways known him to be honorable and
endowed with special qualifications
to make up a broad, masterfuI states
man. The people of this district Will
regret his defeat for denomination;
but the republicans is, the ma
jOrity In the district, were defrauded
in his defeat, and it remains to be
seen whether the minority candidate
will receive the whOle-hearted sup
port of the party. We do not owe
anything to Webb McNau for our
preferment,- fact we believe that
he is disappointed in our success. Be
that as 1t may we are not yet sufici-
entity recoDclled to the abominably
shabby treatment, personally, and as
a delegate upon whose title there was
no tangible cloud of doubt, by the
McNall gang at Colby, to modify,
amend, or change the ticket as it ap-
pears at the head of our columns. II
we are expected to swallow the in
fanny Of that convention and not re-
vert to that feature of NIcNaIPs nomi-
nation, because of our appointment
to official position, take it back; we
want none of it in ours. We are q
republican beca Use of our faith in the
principles of that party, and not tC
cOndOne or whitewash the iniquitiei
of factions of the party when al
official position is given US. Mr.
Turner has asked no concessions, has
demanded no sacrifice of our feelings
has suggested no course for us tt
pursue; but has, without ceremony
or previous correspondence rember
ed US with the plum Of the land offic,
position, for which we feel grateful t.
him It is the first and only nibbl,
we have ever had at the government
crib, excepting when we were enjoy
