ALLIANCE MATTERS


The Cedar Vale Star gives a re-
port of the meeting of Chautauqua
county alliance, at which a resolution
looking to the nomination of county
ticket was tabled and the committee on
resolutions discharged.
Olathe Democrat: Secretary Zerch-
or, of the Citizens alliance, informs us
that the demand for copies OF the con-
stitution and bylaws is constantly in
creasing. These demands come from
every section of the state, and show
a widespread interest in the move
ment.
Wellington Monitor: We are in
formed that one of the grange auditors,
after their quarterly settlement last
week, states that their store at Perth
made during the three months it had
been running, almost as much money
as they had invested. Also that it was
nearly all made on implements, very
little being made on groceries.
From Junction City: The Geary
county alliance convened in the city
and placed full county ticket in the
field. The convention was strongly dem
ocratic. There is considerable dissatis-
faction manifested among both repub-
lican and democratic members of the
alliance.
From Abilene: The farmers alliance
nominated complete county ticket.
The convention having called on sever
al republicans to renounce their ale
glance to the republican party, and they
refusing, defeated them and put up
ticket composed chiefly of union labor
ties and recognized Office seekers.
Much disgust exists among the repub-
licans of the alliance, and they are
withdrawing in large numbers.
Morganville Sentinel: We hear
many expressions OF disgust from ALI
ance men regarding the action taken
by the delegate county convention at
Clay Center. They claim the conven-
ton usurped the power OF the organi-
zatlon in voting money to defray the
expenses of delegates to the state con-
vention, and by voting to put county
ticket in the field at the county election.
They claim these actions we're taken
without any authority whatever from
sub-alliances, and are therefore not
binding.
Paola Republican: The crowd at the
farmers picnic at Osawatomie is vari-
ously estimated at from 800 10 1000.
Speeches were made by DR.. J. H, Oys-
Ter, Judge Stevens, E. F. Allen, and
others. Judge Stevens address was
mainly an arraignment of Senator In
gals for the shortcomings of that
talented gentleman. Mr.. Allen is the
independent candidate for congress,
and, this being his first appearance,
some interest was manifested in him.
He has a disagreeable impediment il
his speech.
Medicine Lodge Index: Several
weeks ago a dispatch was sent to all
the dal.ies in Kansas that the Barber
county alliance had resolved not to NOM
mate a lawyer for district Judge. It
was considered very crude joke at the
time, and the truthfulness of the dis
patch was promptly denied. However,
the action of the alliance convention at
Attica, last week, in nominating for
Judge MIR. Mckay, who is not lawyer,
would seem to indicate that the author
of the dispatch in question must have
been foreteller of events, if not Q
truthful man.
Kansas City, Mo-, Journal: In
Washington county, Kansas, some 800
members of the alliance deemed it
proper to accept an invitation to a con-
ference with the republican central
committee, where articles OF agreement
were submitted and adopted As all
the sub.alliances in the county were
represented, this did not suit the ALI
ance leaders. Accordingly, all the ALI
ance officers in the county were re-
moved by the state officers, and new
officers appointed In the south part
of Washington county ar alliance OF
forty members was formed and char
ter applied for. The charter was refused
until the members all republicans,
would announce their adhesion to the
third party. In Saline county several
of the officers of sub alliances have
been removed because of their republi-
canism, they not being deemed fit per-
sons to conduct alliance meetings. In
Phillips county the lines have been so
rigidly drawn that some old-time demo
Gratis wiz not hold political conversation
with their former comrades.
