EDITOR Advocate: Il was happily
surprised in reading The ADVOCATE OF
August 30, when / came across letter
from my only brother, Thomas j. sut-
ton, Of New Mexico Frisco). I have not
seen him for thirty-nine years; had cor
responded some with him, but had not
heard from him for the past six or seven
years. / was glad to know that he was
alive and we'll, and was glad 10 know
that his heart and life are with the peo-
pie OF toll, care and honor-the people
who are trying to redeem this country
from the power Of combines, frauds and
money, that power which says that IL Is
money that makes the man and not
honor, intelligence and principle, as is
shown by the parties In power in this
country to-day. The man that has money,
no difference how he got II, Is the man.
Money runs everything In this country,
from township convention TO the su-
preme bench, by bribery and fraud, all
the way through. Honor, intelligence
and principles, like the Ten Command
ments, have no part or lot in the actions
Of either Of the old parties, as all the
public acts and records Of the country
show, from the election Of a postmaster
to that Of president Of the United States
l have stayed long with the republican
party, and hoped that it would finally gee
the wrong and do the right, but the
worse, as the late silver bill, the federal
election bill and some lesser acts clearly
show. So / am forced 10 leave the party,
and | leave II forever have identified
myself with the Citizens Alliance, and
for It's success I shall live and labor In
every honorable way until its principles
shall be the watchword OF every true and
honest heart and home in America; when
there shall be no more north or south or
east or west; when one interest and pur-
pose shall be the aim of all, the good Of
all, irrespective Of condition, race, sect or
color, aud consequently the glory Of our
country, proving how truly we stand
when truly united.

A slight Misunderstanding as 10 the
number OF delegates which the labor Or

was satisfactorily adjusted, after which
the convention adjourned till p. m.
The temporary organization was made
permanent and the following was unanl-
niously adopted:
We the people of Leavenworth county in

litical principles, resolve;
First-We demand the abolition OF the

A resolution binding the delegates and
nominees to support the peoples ticket
from top to bottom was introduced,
which seemed TO meet with general ap-
proval. The following was adopted as a
substitute:
Resolved, That IL is the sense OF this con-

peoples movement, stands sQuarely on the
So. Leuis platform, and has been known TO
endorse its principles heretofore.

members at our last meeting, and have
four more applications. On the 18th we
will nominate our county officers, and on
the Goth we will have a rally at Lyons of

will roll up their sleeves and 90 TO work
to elect our candidates by handsome ma

We we're told by some OF the papers, II
we would just stick to the old parties we
had majority In either and could name
the candidates we choose. Exactly. OF
course, II we h0d majority in either
party we must also then be q majority Of

Some OF the papers seem to be worried
because they claim IL is scheme gotten
up by the democrats, and they abuse the
leaders OF the alliance, especially COL
Polk, President Glover and others. -
Now, while / was a republican never
could understand why democrat has
not as much interest In the welfare Of his
country, his home and his family as any
one else, and while he voted for free
trade and voted for protection, we
neither Of us got any help. Now, IL we
will all pull together at the ST. Louis
platform and lot the sideshows take care

ance brethren should be led astray by

! ask Of you, my republican brothers,
what benefit did you derive from that 49,
600 majority we helped oswell two years
agoH Did your corn last year bring any
more? Is not your taxes just as high
this yearp Does not the interest on your
mortgage go on just the same, unless In
deed the sheriff has put a stop to it? Are
you any better of financially because
you helped to perform this featP am
not, / am free to confess, and do not be-
lieve we ever will be by voting for
Wall street and the old parties.
Then let us vote for our principles aud
our nominees, and show the political
bosses that we are beginning to under
stand our condition, and what has caused

by them. Let US sever the chains OF
prejudice and ignorance by which we
have been bound, grasp our brothers by

the bloody shirt buslness--the war was
over twenty-five years agO--a new gener-
alton is on the stage Of action. What
matters if Polk was a rebelP What mat

They may have repented, they may have

you the right hand of fellowship and

PLYMOUTH, Mass, May Sin the
Plymouth County Registers office to-
day two deeds were recorded conveying
three building lots on Bramston Bluffs,
in this township, from William H.
Brine and Hannah S. Brine to Grover
Cleveland. The property lies about
eight miles south Of Plymouth proper
and commands a magnificent ocean
view. The survey ofthe proposed Ply
mouth & Bourndale rail road runs not
far from it, which fact has lately given
an impetus to the sale oflots. This spot
is the scene Of w. D. Howell's story,
"Dr. Breen's Practice"
The property is near the Arastow
House, a summer hotel, about eight
miles south of Plymouth Village. On a
clear day the tip end of Cape Cod can
be clearly seen from the spot. A few
people have already built summer
cottages there.
Whether or not Mr. Clel Gland ever
visited the place, or if he intends to
build there, are things that no one here
abouts knows; but it is certain that the
eN-President while sojourning at Ma
rion last summer made many trips
through the surrounding country and
he may have seen the Brastow Bluff
and admired the fine location.

Kansas Farm Song.
[kingman. Kan. Democrat

kingman, Kan, Democrat.
He sat at his door at MONDAY, lonely
and gloomy and sad, brooding over the
price of his corn crop and figuring how
much he had. He had worked from
early springtime, early and late and
hard, and he was counting his assets
and figuring out his reward. He fig
ured that it took two acres to buy his
two boys new boots, and ten acres
more on top of this to fit them out with
new suits. To buy his wife a protected
dress took 100 bushels more, while five
acres more went in solid lump for the
carpet on the floor. His tax and gro
Gerry bill absorbed his crop of oats, while
the interest on his farm mortgage took
all his fattened shoats. The shingles
on bis cowshed and the lumber for his
barn had eaten up his beef steers and
the balance Of his corn. So he sat in
his door at MONDAY, lonely and gloomy
and sore, as he figured up his wealth a
little less than it was the year before.
"By gum, they say I'm protected, but
I know there's something wrong; I've
been deceived and gulled and hood
winked by this high protective song.
They told of rebellious traitors, and
hell up the bloody rag, and 1 followed
along like pumpkin and now l am
holding the bag. But from this time
on I'll investigate, and get the bottom
Of facts, and I'll bet 81 to begin with
that the tariff is a tax.

HERALDINGS FROM NO. 6.

I want to tell an anecdote on the
gallant old Sd South Carolina Regi-
ment. On the 4th day of May, 1852,
when the Federal troops opened on
the works below Williamsburg, Va,
We did not have any troops in the
Notifications; the Sd Regiment was
resting in the streets of the town, and
Gen. Johnston was at a hotel near by.
When the first cannon was fired Gen.
Johnston sent courier to have our
Regiment hurried back to the fortiica-
ton. Gen. Johnston hastily mounted
his horse and galloped back towards
the enemy. The gallant Drate Ruthe-
ford, then Adjutant of the Regiment,
ordered the men to unsling knapsacks,
and we were about-faced and hurried
to the fight. Amid the whistling of
the shells and screaming ofthe women,
was the gallant old Third double
quicking to the Notifications, singing
at the top of their voices: "a shilling
and a clean shirt is all soldier Graves. "
Gen. johnson was sitting on his beauti-
full chestnut at the line Of works, and
knew the day was saved.
After the battle of Salem church on
the 2nd of May, 1888, the writer was
detailed to pick up lead on the battle
field, and about equal distance from the
line he found two minnie balls i'm
beaded in each other, one having been
fired by the Federals and the other fired
by the Confederates.
The next morning after the Cameron
Station Artillery duel in East Tennes-
see, Company B. of the Sd South Caro-
lima Regiment, was sent forward as an
advance guard. f. C. Longshore and
John Dalrymple, and three cavalry
men were sent forward as videttes. On
the first fire of the Federals the cavalry
men left the field, but Longshore and
Dalrymple held the ground and made
matters warm for the Federals until
Company B. could be FASTENED up. I
don't think any boys on rabit hunt
ever enjoyed it more than Company B
did that day fighting. TELL.

RICHMOND, VA, May 7.-Richmond
never witnessed or participated in
such scene as the ceremonies Incl
dent to the removal this evening of
the trucks containing the equestrian
statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee from the
railway station to Allen plat, where
the statue is to be erected.
At 5 o'clock procession was formed,
with a squad of policemen in front,
followed by Chief Marshal Thomas A.
Brander and his assistants, mounted.
Then came the Lee Camp of Confeder-
ate Veterans, under whose auspices the
removal was made, followed by the
Old Veterans organizations. Imme-
diately behind them came four trucks
in single file, with men, women and
children tugging at the ropes. The
route of the procession, which was
about one and half miles in length,
was down Broad street to 1st, though
Ist to Franklin and out Franklin to
the point Of destination.
The line of march was literally
packed with people from the starting
point to the finish, while the cheering
and waving of flags was continuous.
Here and there grown people would
drop out of line and a rush would be
made to fill their places. The boys
and some Of the girls, however, kept
their places Oh the ropes to the end.
At Monroe Park, which was the best
vantage ground alone the route of the
procession, the ropes were 80 crowded
with people that they were constantly
treading on each others heels. AS they
passed the park there were 500 grown
ladies and girls whose, hands held the
ropes.
Little tats were carried out into the
streets in their mothers arms and
their small hands were placed upon
the ropes. When the destination was
reached there was a scamble by relic
huntersfers for the ropes with which
the trucks had been drawn, and de-
spite the efforts of the police they sue
ceeded in cutting them all to pieces.
But for the guard Of the Old Veterans
the boxes containing the statue would
have shared the same fate.
All the trucks were handsomely
decorated with pictures of Gen. Lee
and flags of Southern States, while
here and there a Confederate battle
flag foated to the breeze.

LAuRENs, May &c. F. Rich, a
white man, claiming to represent an
industrial association whose object is
to teach useful arts to the negro race
and who has been lecturing to colored
people here OH Happy Homes and
Temperance" was whipped by party
of white men last night. Rich came
here Saturday and has delivered two
lectures. He had organized class of
colored women and was teaching them
the laundry business. The facts as
gathered from colored people and Rich
himself are as follows: Rich had Just
finished his lecture at the colored Pres
byterian Church and was outside, when
he was seized by party numbering
from six to fifteen, taken to the out
skirts of the city, and severely whipped,
and could learn nothing definite from
white people, because none spoken to
know anything about the affair.
The impression was out that Rich
had made incendiary speeches to the
negroes, had advised them to strike for
higher wages and Was causing consid-
erable dissatisfaction among them. 1t
is also said that negro cooks had al
ready commenced to give trouble as
the result OF Rich's teachings. Rich
denies that he has advised anything Of
the kind and afirms that he has only
impressed the duty of morality and
thrift: The pastor of the colored Pres
byterian and Methodist Churches cor
roborate him in the denial. Rich
brars letters commendatory OF his work,
among which is one signed by several
we'll known citizens of Union.
Some of the negroes here do not sym
pathize with him. The relations be-
tween the races here are of the best
nature and it is not expected that they
will! be affected by the occurrence.
