Make the Distinction.

1t is important in the discussion of
parties and candidates during the cam
paign that speakers and newspapers
should distinguish between the alliance
and the so called peoples party. The
alliance proper is not political organ
ization nor are the members of the al
lance necessarily members of the peo-
pies party. Thousands of members of
the alliance joined it in good faith for
the sole purpose of advancing the best
interests OF agriculture, and still retain
an active membership therein, in hope
that it may prove beneficial to that in
dustry. They remember that solemn
obligation they took upon initiation,
that no interference should be had with
their religious or political beliefs"
and they propose to exercise their right
to vote on election day as their con-
sciences may dictate irrespective of
what few political demagogues and
Office seekers of the order, may have to
say. 1t is very unfair to charge the
farmers alliance with all the wild va
carries and visionary hallucinations of
the miserable, crOaking, fault-inding,
political dyspeptics who have under
taken to use the order to elevate them
selves into a public prominence to
which they never could hope to attain
through either merit or fitness. Those
who joined the alliance for the benefit
of the farmer are now and ever have
been opposed to converting it into a
political party or political machine.
Those who joined the alliance for
doodle" are the loud and enthusiastic
quacks who have organized a political
party out of members Of the order for
tie purpose of their own selfish ag-
Let these two classes
of individuals be not COMPOUNDED.
They are ds different as republicans
and democrats and their purposes are
as opposite as day and night. The one
is composed of the friends of the farm
er, the other of selfish, political office
seekers, who would sell out their best
friends for their own individual pre-
ferment. Make the distinction.

county are not tie poor poverty-stricken
mortgsge-ridden individuals that they
have been represented to be by the can
didates and public speakers of this new
secret political organization, which has
arrogated to itself the name of ''peO-
ple's party" And when Messrs.
Rightmire and Willets undertook to de-
pict the "sad condition of the poor
farmers" their remarks fell with a
heavy thud upon the hundreds of pros
porous families who had come down to
witness the procession, and enjoy
days recreation among their neighbOr-
ing farmers. DespOndent, dOleful,
melancholy speeches were decidedly
out of place in McMaster's grove on
yesterday. They only threw dampness
upon what would otherwise have been
a cheerful and pleasant meeting of
farmers and their families.

Not in Harmony.

Just how the Knights of Labor in
the cities and the alliance men in the
country are going to pull together is a
question. The Knights want cheaper
bread and depreciation of farm pro-
ducts prices; the others want higher
bread and an increase in prices. The
two wings do not flop with the same
rate of speed-how can they go to-
gether?

John Davis in order to bolster up his

from the REFLECTOR's discovery that
he went to the Hope fair without being

what he wants as the facts. Too thin,

Who is a Traitor.

The peoples party convention at To-
peka last spring adopted the following
resolution:
Resolved, That a man who will accept the
nomination upon any other than the peoples
ticket is traitor TO the party.
What of Ives? He sneaked on the
democratic ticket for attorney general
by precOncerted arrangement. What
do you think of him, peoples party

A Topeka dispatch says: But lately
a tax of 10 cents was levied upon each
member of the alliance in Kansas, for
campaign expenses. Since that time
the mails have been loaded with letters
containing remittances to headquar-
tiers, the letters containing postal
orders for So, So, So and sometimes as
high as S12. In the aggregate about
$500 has thus been sent in to a COM
mittee accountable to no one for the
expenditures that may be incurred.
This assessment has been found TO be
entirely too small, and another for %
cents a member will follow, this week.
In addition, each member of the ALI
ance will be ordered to subscribe for
the Advocate, at a cost Of 25 cents a
copy, until after the campaign.

"ClaSS LAWS"

| Glass Laws.
In NJ. Senn's letter accepting the
nomination of the peoples party for
representative he says: "He Senator
Ingalls) always used his splendid sbili-
ties to serve the money powers, by
favoring every species of class laws
If Mr.. Sem has any evidence of the
truth of this charge he ought to give
particulars. This general statement
savors very much of the political dema-
gogue. 1t has become chronic with a
certain class of Office seekers to charge
heir opponents generally with favor
ing monopolies and class legislation
and of arrOgating to themselves the
only true friendship for the people.
Whatever may be said of Senator In.
gals, no one will charge him with du-
plicity or any effort to conceal his views
upon public questions. He never has
been known to kick down the doors of
the senate chamber to get away from
expressing an opinion upon any matter
before congress. His voice and vote
upon all national issues have been mat
tiers of general notOriety, and if any
act or vote of his has been in the inter
est of the money power by favoring
class laws" Mr.. Sem can be specific,
and when the specific charge is made,
then the people will be able to judge
whether Mr.. Senn's assertion emanates
from good motives, or whether it is the
usual crOaking of very hungry and
thirsty office-seeker.
The charge of ''favOring every
species of class laws" comes in very
poor grace from Mr.. Sem. If he rep.
resents any body it is ''class." The
only excuse that we have ever heard
for tie existence of the peoples
party" is that ''class laws" are de-
manded. The avowed purpose of Or
ganizing great secret political party
to which only certain ''class" of the
people are eligible to membership, and
of doing party machine work behind
screened windows, barred doors and
under solemn oaths, is to accomplish
''class legislation" If it is not the de-
sign of the peoples party to effect
"class legislation, ;" then it is delusion
and snare. And if it is the design
of Mr.. Sem and the secret band to
which he belongs to flavor class laws"
then we submit that it comes in ill
grace from him to charge in such general
and demagOgical terms, another with
doing just what he, if such an unfortu-
nate thing as his election should take
place, would attempt to do.
If the peoples party had the inter-
ests of all the people in view it would
not erect a barrier through which only
portion of the people are admitted.

Reflector Supplement.
THURSDAY, OCT. 2, 1890.
The Picnic.

teen women and children composed
the peoples party procession which
passed the corner of Third and Cedar
on yesterday. 1t was grand process
sion, grand in numbers, grand in ap-
pearance. 1t was a procession which
ought to have filled the heart of every
true Kansan with pride.
Probably no other state in the union
could under such circumstances have
produced such scene. Drouth, bad
crops and q world wide business de-
preston have had their effects upon
the people of Kansas, as upon people
everywhere. Notwithstanding all
these the people of Kansas as mani
tested in their grand professions
throughout the state are happy, con-
tented and ever ready to spend money,
time and labor for political display.
That procession OF yesterday which
was composed mostly of farmers, con-
tanned more fine horses, handsome car
riages, excellent equipages, massive
bunting, expensive banners, handsome
and well dressed ladies and gentlemen,
than were ever before seen in political
parade in Dickinson county. There
have been many more voters in line,
but they have always been on foot and
owing to the absence of women, child
rem, horses and wagons, they have
made much less display than did the
farmers of yesterday.
The splendid array of yesterday
speaks volumes for the people of Kan
sss. 1t proves the falsity of the SLAM
derOus and libelOus. defamers of our
state who have been for months harp
ing upon the misfortunes of our people
and writing and circulating infamous
lies about the unfortunate condition of
the Kansas farmer, No man who
watched the magnificent display of the
farmers of this county on yesterday
can believe for one moment the dole
full, respondent bowling which come
from few union labor cranks of the
county, who are trying very hard to
worm themselves into fat offices. The
thrift of the farmer is a complete refu-
tatiOu of their calumnies.
In one respect the meeting was fiat
failure. 1t was intended for the crown
ing effort of the peoples party. They
promised to exhibit enough voters .to
carry Dickinson county at the coming
election. They succeeded in getting
426 in line, which number, would cut a
sorry figure in a county casting 400
votes in all. But it is probably a fair
estimate to say that of the 426 voters
in the procession IS or 100 of them will
vote either the democratic or republican
ticket. Hence, instead of an exhibit
ton of voting strength, the meeting
was striking exhibition of weakness
and none felt it more keenly than the
peoples party candidates, who stood on
the street corner and counted the voters
as the procession passed. 1t is prob
ably true that all who will vote the
peoples party ticket were not here, but
the number can be doubled and still
come far short of one-third of the
voters of this county.
The meeting was an eminent success
in one respect. 1t furnished abundant

THE LECoNEY MURDER.
