COUNTY ALLIANCE PICNIC.
Good Crowds Attend the Exercises
at the Grove.

|
at the Grove.
The most nearly perfect day of the
month was given the alliance for its
much advertised county picnic. Clear
warm skies, no wind and a bracing air
made the day delightful. The picnic
to be held in McMaster's grove had
been well doomed and every alliance
in the county was represented by near
ly its total membership. The presence
of the peoples party candidates for
governor and chief justice, Willis and
Rightmire, made the occasion the most
important one for the organization for
the campaign, and republicans and
democrats alike turned out to enjoy the
picnic. The crowd was as orderly and
sober as any that ever gathered in Kan
sas or any other state. If there was
drunken man among all the visitors the
REFLECTOR is not aware of the fact.
the people who came appeared to be
we'll fed, well clothed and almost in
variably drove fat horses. Taking
the assembly as a whole it gave the lie
direct to most of the speakers who in
sisted that the farmers of Kansas are
in miserable condition, even worse
than than the slaves of the south be-
fore the emancipation.
THE PARADE.
at IL O'Clock all the teams headed by
the Abilene band joined in procession
and filed down Cedar street, making a
long line of teams bearing farmers
families including the children, babies
and all. Many alliances were out with
flags and few notices were noticed
along the line. Two bands had been
hired and gave good music. There
were far fewer voters in line than was
expected by people of Abilene, ::at least
so per cent. of the people being women
and children. 1t showed that the par
ticipators in the picnic were out for a
good time, not a mere political effort.
THE SPEAKING.
at McMaster's grove the picnic is in
progress this afternoon. Hundreds of
AbiIeneites are present out of curiosity.
Addresses by Rightmire and Willis
are on the program. This evening
Van B. Prather and Foster are booked
for speeches in the opera house.

SILVER MEN AT WORK.
II the Free Coinage Bill Can Be Reached at
the Coming Session 1t Can Be Passed.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.-The rally in
the price of silver in the New York
market within the past few days has
set the silver hen to working hard for
the passage OF IA free coinage bill this
session. There are half dozen lead
ers here in town at the present mo-
ment, and they are making an active
campaign in the interest OF unlimited
coinage of silver. 1t is understood
that the president in his Forthcoming
message to congress takes the ground
that no further legislation on this sub
ject should be enacted by the present
congress, and it is thought by some OF
the eastern men that any successful
attempt i'm this direction will be inn
possible. Notwithstanding this feel
ing, however, such men as A. j. War
ner OF Ohio and Others who are i'm the
advance rank of the pro-silverites,
think that determined effort in this
direction would meet with success.
The senate is ready to pass free
coinage bill, and there are probably
enough men in the house in favor OF
the idea to put the bill through ii it
can only be reached, and the only
question at issue, therefore. is whet her
or not the opportunity will be afforded
Tor carrying out the programme.

One of the methods employed to
defeat Mckinley in his district, is told
by Representative ioder OF Ohio. In
Holmes county is large number of
people with quaint, old-fashioned ways
who are known as the Amish sect.
One popularity of these people is that
they entirely discard the use OF but
tons, using hooks and eyes instead.
The Democrats did not use the ad-
vance in the price OF pearl buttons as
an argument among these people, but
they went TO the stores in the country
and purchased ali the hooks and eyes.
Then they sent peddlers through the
towns and farms, instructing them to
sell the hooks and eyes at a price
which was about 300 or 100 per cent
higher than before The Amish people
did not object to the advance on tin
cups and other necessaries OF life, but
when it came to paying more for hold
ing their clothes together they voted
the Democratic ticket.

As the time approaches for the con
vening OF the State legislature there
are ominous signs OF another political
deadlock. Any attempt on the part
OF the Democratic senate to recognize
the Democratic house with the Silver
Bow illegitimates, would precipltate
anot her struggle. The Supreme Court
has decided that certificates from the
State canvassing board is the best
prma facie title to a seat in the house.
DO the Democrats propose to ignore
the decision OF our highest court? We
do not believe they will be so unwise
1t would not only he unlawful but II
would be impolltic. They could enact
no legislation that would stand beior'
the courts nor could they gam an!
political advant age. The people hav'
become heartily sick OF this politica
controversy and are anxious to Sc
the legislature get down to business II
soon AS possible. The state is suffer
ing for legislation and the party tina
causes further delay will be held re
sponsible. let us have no NOR
