Buchan,

The chairman of the ing boss commit
tee of Kansas, is reported rs having said
that "Ingalls was as fairly nominated
for United States senator rs Humphrey
was nominated for governor. Ninety
three Republican county conventions i'm
structed for Ingalls,. All tine con-
gressional conventions instructed for
ingalls,. That his defeat means the de-
feat of the Republican party" Thus we
see by this statement of the chief boss of
the party in Kansas that such men rs In
gals are looked upon and recognized as
the foundation or plank on which the
party now stands. But owing to the
fact that the late election i'm Kansas has
fully demonstrated the fact that the farm
ers and laborers Of Kansas are now In
politics, we are now Of the opinion that
one of these days not far in the future,
there will be meeting of ''Hayseeders"
at representatives hall, lin the city of To-
peka, that will knock the foundation
from under the old ring boss party of
Kansas, which will mean, according to
Boss Buchan, the ''downfall OF the Re-
publican party"

THE Capital pleads in long edit
Orial that Willis was not counted out.
Who said he was? Better reserve the
defense until it is called for. The
whole matter will be brought TO the
bar in due time.-Ld,crence Record.
While no one has said that Willis
was counted out, it is not impossible.
The county clerk of Atchison county
made mistake" in counting out an
Alliance candidate for representative,
but was caught at it, and he had TO
straighten the matter up, which elects
one more anti-Ingalls man. If one
man made such mistake" is it not
possible that enough mistakes" were
made TO count Willis out?

Dry Winds and Rain.

Chief Boss Buchan charges the shot
winds and Door crops" as being a cause
for the great shortage in the vote for the
ring boss party in Kansas this year. He
says: "The hot winds and the short corn
crop resulted in what they Call land
slide, but did you ever notice that the on
ly two Republican congressman elected
were from the eastern part of the state
where the corn crop was fair? Every
thing went for the Alliance out west
where the corn crop failed. You have
no idea what fine organization the AL
lance had, etc." Here we stop to re-
mark that it is wonderful indeed. Why is
it that men of old party latter-day poll
tics have become so wise? Why, just
few years ago is the first that we ever
heard of such wisdom. If we remember
correctly, it was on, or about, November,
1884, there was what they called great
landslide in politics. 1t now occurs to us
that great man of the east by the name
of Reciprocity Blaine, alias James G..
Blaine, arose and said that the cause of
the political landslide was owing to the
fact that on election day it rained all over
the state of New York. Now it seems
to us that the constitution of political
party is in very critical condition when
it is compelled to turn over on its back
on account of hot winds in some lOcali-
ties, and rainy days in others.
Hence we must have political party
that has political constitution that can
stand hot winds and wet days. Now
then, let the people push the campaign
into every school district, and gather all
the reformers into one grand united par
ty that will capture Washington in 1872,
for the old rarties are sick nigh unto
death. The powers of corruption have
ruined them.

VIZ are glad to see such papers as
the Chicago Lever, the New York
Voice and other prominent Prohibi-
ton papers come out in favor of
union of all reform forces. This
shows that the reformers are thinking.
Some of our Prohibition friends have
been little slow to see that there are
other living issues before the people
besides the humiliation of the drink
traffic. They now see that the farm
ers, laborers and other debt-burdened
classes need something that they have
not been getting from the old political
parties. They now see, too, that the
great common people are in real earn
est and propose to throttle their ene-
mics by electing men to office who
are in sympathy with the people.
A goodly number of Prohibitionists
have been with the People for some
time, and voted with us this fall, but
a majority of the leaders were little
slow to "catch on" Miss Willard
and few other leaders have been
with us for some time, and have been
doing good work toward bringing
together all the elements of reform.
The other leaders, since the late cleo
ton in Kansas and some other states,
see that the farmers are for prOhibi-
ton instead, as they at first thought,
of opposing the measure. Again we
say we are glad to see Prohibitionists
getting their eyes open. Now let us
all come together and fight the COM
mon enemy.

demand let all the Peoples political

IT is only few days since the Wall
street gamblers experienced another
squeeze, similar to the one which took
place while Harrison was rusticating
in the mountains, from whence he
wired to Secretary Window to help
the Wall street fellows out. This
causes us to consider other gambling
schemes in existence in this country,
and to think that all things are not
equal. Congress, at its last session,
passed stringent anti-lottery law,
for The purpose of killing the Louisi-
ana lottery and that act was certain
ly commendatory. We also have
laws against playing cards for money,
and against many other modes of
gambling. These laws are all right.
But our lawmakers have overlooked
the most dangerous gambling schemes
of all-the Wall street money, stock,
grain and produce "specuations.'
We also have "boards of trade" al
most without number. These are all
gambling devices of the most danger
Gus kind. The man who invests his
money in lottery tickets, or the man
who stakes his money on game Of
cards, or other similar game, does so
with his eyes open, with full knowl-
edge that the chances are against him.
He takes The chances of winning or
losing of his own accord. But the
farmer, or other citizen, who is rob
bed by the Wall street gamblers or
the "boards Of trade is ignorant Of
the trick it was done by. These fine
haired, kid-gloved, heightened gam
blers move in the 'best society,""
Many of them occupy expensive pews
in swell churches, and pay literally
to keep the preachers closed on the
issues that are of interest TO the farm
or and the labOrer. The Louisiana
lottery, while it is miserable affair,
and should be wiped out of existence,
is as nothing compared with the Wall
street gamblers and "boards of trade"
which should be utterly annihilated
by the next congress.

A CLEAN Of Light.


The Garnett- Plaindealer, in its issue OF
the 18th, says, in substance, that the late
defeat of the Republican party is due to
restlessness and ambition on the part oil
the people, and the failure of the Repub-
lean party to keep pledges made by Re
publican orators and newspapers. Also
it is admitted that the old political par
ties have become tyrannical aud arrogant,
to all of which the AGITAToR has to say
that the Plaindealer, while still in the
dark, is advancing in the direction of
light.
The people certainly became restless,
but that restlessness is due to the fact
that the wealth producers, or common
people, were not protected by the govern
ment against the rapacity of the soulless
combinations, who, under the protection
of the forms of law, were literally rob-
bling the toiling millions; and this rest
lessness is not normal, but is most extra
ordinary when it is considered that the
movement began in the rural districts
with the usually most contented class.
When the farmers are aroused there is
always abundant cause.
AS tOthe allegation of ambition, it simp-
ly preposterous. Ambition always trains
with the popular side; and inasmuch as
that the Peoples movement promised
nothing in the near future but defeat,
not one of the Peoples leaders, it may
be fairly claimed. had anything in view
but the good of the cause.
The Republican party not only failed
more recently to keep faith with the
common people. Its national legislation
from first to last has been in the interest
of the eastern capitalist. But until re-
Gently it succeeded by raising from time
to time false cry as to its aims, or the
aims of the opposing parties, in covering
its real work and deceiving the people,
and so long has it carried on its work of
despOiling labor and deceiving the people
that no wonder its leaders, as the Plain
dealer admits, becomes arrogant and tyr
annical. And it is partly owing to the
tyrannical bearing of the bosses that the
people were enabled to see the Republi-
can party in all its scoundrelism. The
people find that their best friend is them
selves,

Issues Of the Late Campaign.

Before the election the Peoples party
was either southern scheme, according
to Republican authority, or was a re-sub-
mission scheme. Many honest voters
were deceived by the hue and cry raised
by the Republican orators and press,
wherein the above charges were dwelt
upon, and doubtless the Peoples move
ment was greatly embarrassed and weak
ened by the false cry. The Republican
leaders of Anderson county were anxious
to haye the people believe that temper
ance was the issue, and that, too, after
the county convention had admitted in
it's platform that the real issue was on the
reelection to the United Senate Off. j.
ingalls,. Now, after the battle is over
and the smoke is cleared away, the Plain
dealer says that ''The test question was
made in the reelection of j. j. Ingalls,"
And here we have true confession as
far as it goes. The defeat of Ingalls,,
and all such as Ingalls,. was, and Is, the
aim of the Peoples party; not because
Ingalls, is any worse than his party, for
he is not; but because Ingalls, is the ar
rogant. tyrannical enemy of the people
"a tool of the most heartless plutOcracy
that ever breathed the pure free air of a
benificent Being. Now the Plaindealcr
seems to make the mistake that the Peo-
pies fight was made on Ingalls, as al in
dividual, for it ssys, in substance, that
the Republican party in guarding ingalls,
interest had to a certain extent suffered
defeat, and that another candidate might
be acceptable to Alliance members of the
legislature. But here the Plaindealer be-
trays IT'S ignorance OF the aims of the
Peoples party, for if the Plaindealer had
paid the attention to the Peoples warfare
it would have perceived that the battle
against Perkins, Kelly, McNall, Halo
we'll, Phillips and Funston, was just az
hot. and just as determined rs against
ingalls,; not that these men are obnOX-
ious to the voters of their respective dis
trtcts, above all other men, but because
they are allied to a party and to a policy
that is highly detrimental to the best in
terests of The toling millions. The AL
lance will accept of no man who does
not espouse the principles of the new
party, and that calls for new men.

Weather and Stock.

The unusually mild weather we have
enjoyed this fall and winter is thorough
ly appreciated by stock men. Large
quantities of hay were burned by the fall
prairie fires and many farmers were not
prepared to winter their stock through a
long cold winter. So far there has been
no occasion to feed hay. The winter
cured grass on the prairies IS very nu-
tritlous and most animals prefer it to
hay There has been no snow and the
weather has been such that stock could
be turned out to Craze. The result is
that feed has been economical and cold
weather now has no terrors for stock own
ers. I. S. Wadsworth says he has fed no
hay yet. His band of 240 horses nave been
grazing all fall and are looking as fat
and sleek as they ever did. He has
about 60 head of cattle on his ranch and
believes that there is now big money in
cattle raising and thinks farmers should
engage more extensively in that branch
Of the stock business. At % cents, he
says, there is money in cattle. The only
disadvantage likely to arse from the
warm weather and absence Of snow is the
drying out of the ground. The roads in
the country and city are quite dusty.

Land Inquiries,

The emigration agent Of the Northern
Pacific stated to an Alert reporter re-
Gently, that the company is now receiv-
Ing more inquiries about North Dakota
than any other portion Of tributary terri
tory. If the crop in the state had been
generally good, there is no question but
what large influx OF settlers would have
come with the approaching spring. AS
it is, Mr.. Groat thinks there will be quite
a surprise in the way Of land seekers,
beginning in 81. A good many are
writing back from the Pacific coast, say
ing there is little inducement fol farmer
there. One colony of over a hundred
from New York state, is said to be pre-
pairing to take up land on the Missouri
slope this spring. The Red river valley
immigration society will do large
amount of good missionary work this
winter.
Mr. Groat is securing letters from
young men and men with families stat
ing how they have done since coming to
Dakota. 1t is surprising to find the
number who are willing to testify to
what they have made here with little or
nothing 60 begin on. The letters will be
short, plain statements Of each mans
case. and will be published III folder,
in several languages and widely dlstrlb-
utad by the railroad company.
