EDIToR ADVOCATE: The Nemaha
County Alliance met on July /, and
among other good things they did was to
endorse the action Of the Topeka meet
ing on June 10 by the following resOlu-
tlOn:
Resolved, That II is the sense Of the Ne
maha County Alliance that we are in favor
Og nominating full county and state ticket,
embracing Alliance and industrial Union
men, Knights OF Labor and other kindred
organizations, as adopted by the Topeka
convention OF June ~.
Out Of 179 delegates there were only
twenty-six dissenting votes Inmy visits
TO the sub-RlllanOes throughout the
county notice that many of the brethren
who were opposed TO such a measure six
months ago are heartily In favor Of II
now, and am confident that by next No
vembeE we will roll up large majority
for the peoples ticket" in Nemaha
county.
To II true that il we had the free coin
age Of silver the market value Of silver
would be 10 cents? This is cOntended by
many, and that II would be a great
means Of speculation. Fraternally yours,

EDITOR ADVOCATES: Not seeing any

county for some time, may be some Of the
county alliances think us defunct. Our
local papers would like very much Co
make us appear dead, but you will find
the livellest kind Of corpse down here
about lection time.
Our county meeting was held June ~
and %, and we had in attendance 1903
delegates, representing twenty-nine alli-
Rnces with q total membership Of 1890
Brother s. M. Scott was with us both
days, and spoke In the opera house Sat
uriay afternoon at 2 o'clock TO q large
and appreciatiye audience. The business

selves conspicuous by their absence. Al
though the meeting was we'll advertised
they failed 10 come. We are of the
opinion they don't want to know the
truth.

LATHAM, bubloA NOuutyt buly ~
EDITOR ADVOCATE: AT o'clock on
the morning OF the 4th a gentle shower
made our crops look fresh, vigorous and
promising and rendered the air lightly
bracing. II soon cleared of and q more
delightful day could not be desired, At
0 a. m. we started for Latham TO celebrate
the 4th in beautiful walnut grove just
outside the limits Of the little city At
10 we arrived at Latham. We were sur
prised TO find the streets Of the city occu-
cupied by a tremendous procession Of
wagons, buggles and horsemen, headed
by the Latham band and Il group Of
young ladies dressed in white. The gi-
gantic procession moved down main
street and on out to the grove, where am
pie arrangements had been made for the
entertainment Of the people
After some preliminaries, Professor
Clark, Of Wichita, was introduced and
addressed the vast audience, which by
this time, numbered over 1000 The
professor extOlled the American govern
ment and the American people to a point
high above all other governments and
peoples. He conveyed the idea that
there is not such noble government and
such a grand people on terra hrma as our
government and our people. When the
professor closed his address the assem-
blage WAS dismissed for dinner.
In less than twenty minutes hundreds
OF table cloths we're spread on the green
grass, In the soft shade Of the grove, and
on them were dead loads Of good things
10 eat
II was a grand feast, yet for all this
there seemed to be something in the air
which said, "These people are not alto
gethor happy"
After dinner II was whispered that the
Farmers Alliance would take the after
noon entertainment in hand.
Az o'clock everybody was in position
10 hear what might come TO them from
the grand stand, Presently they we're
treated TO some patriotic music, after
which Rev. Williams, Of Douglas, was
introduced, and 10 you, the wrong doings
Of the old parties which we have sus-
tanned so many years began TO be sound
cd in our ears. We were stunned as if
great cannon were being relieved of their
loads, We were not prepared to hear
such things on the 4th of July. In about
twenty minutes Mr.. Otis, of Topeka, ar
rived ON the ground. The first speaker
gave way, and after being treated to some
more patriotic music, Mr.. Otis was intro
duced TO the assembly. Mr.. Otis painted
the old parties in very dark colors and
stated that we must change front or we
will be ruined beyond redemption.
When he closed his speech we felt like
crying aloud, "Let us go home. and pre-
pare to vote those bad fellows out Of
Washington, and vote good, honest men
in their places, Yours fraternally,

/ EDITOR hDVOCAIh' we are plbhheu u
inform the public that Fourth Of July
was celebrated in Graham county by one
Of the largest gatherings ever convened
in any interest in this part Of tho state
The people came In response 10 cal
from the Farmers Alliance and Indus
trial Union to beautiful grove on Brush
Creek, where all seemed happy and in
terested. The declaration Of Independ
ence was read, and although several
speakers as announced on the pro.
gramme failed to appear, II was not diff
icult 70 secure substitutes, who were lis
tened TO by hundreds interested in the
success Of the alliance principles.
Good music with appropriate sentiment
was rendered by several sub-alliances,
the president Of the day presented sup
plement Of the Declaration Of Independ-
ence, in which was reiterated the position
and sentiment as heretofore expressed
through resolutions passed by the County
Alliances, pledging anew our loyalty to
the government under which we live,
and declaring "that all connection be-
tween us aud the old political parties
ought TO be and now is totally and for
ever dissolved" Such declaration was
not particularly well received by many Of
the old politicians; but il anything is
ever accomplished for the relief Of the
oppressed millions OF the land, through
legislation, we believe IL must be accom-
plished by an independent peoples tick
et We have waited too long already for
something TO be done by the two great
national parties. They have utterly failed
TO meet the demands Of a great nation as
they should, and 1t Is time now for the
people TO go forth and elect men to office
who are in sympathy with the day-labor-
er and producer. II is true that the
moneyed power reigns supreme and that,
too, against the interests Of the masses.
As king the capitalist sits upon the
throne unhinching, and thus far uncon-
Querable. AS people we have petition
ed for redress in the most humble terms,
but all in vain. AS loyal subjects we
have gone to the polls and voted in hope
Of better times. We have appealed to
the justice and magnanimity Of our
rulers, but they have turned a deaf ear
to our entreaties, until we find II utterly
inconsistent with the demands now upon
us to do less than declare our independ-
ence Of political bonds, which have held
us for so many years against our in
terests.
AS subjects, therefore, Of the best form
Of government on earth, and with firm
trust in divine providence, let us forward
and elect men to office whose prompt ac-
tion in our legislative halls shall be such
as will garner the tears Of the widow
and orphans, and bring relief to lacerated
hearts," declaring ourselves for princi-
pies land not parity such as must inspire
purity Of government indicated in the
great principle, "equal rights TO all, and
special privileges TO none"
