Sowing Seeds of Discontent,

That is what the republican leaders
are now attempting to do, in order to
break the force of the alliance move
ment that threatens to sweep over Kan
sas and dispel the power of the old ring
politicians who have SO long held sway.
In the Register last week Bro. Caraway,
who is said to be the leader of the
sins" of this county, does his share of
the allotted work in this manner, speak
ing of the action of the Alliance men
at their Topeka meeting:
1.-THE Topeka convention was composed of three
man against the resolution. It was bold demo-
oppose Senator ingalls, from Instinct. he has no
mercy upon democratic outlawry and Graves none
is democratic organization, but wherever the dem
ocr.s are in majority they undertake to use 1t for
Political purposes"
In reply to his charge that 1.-THE
Topeka convention was three-fourths
democrats We quote the following
interview with President Clover, pub
lished in the Hutchinson Ne,cs of last
Thursday morning:
"Do you know the political complexion OF the
county Presidents in your meeting at Topeka March
81 think 1 would be safe in saying that three
s Of
political affiliations the republicans outnumbered
the others six to one"
Ills 1t true that nineteen voted against the adop-
ton OF the ingalls, resolution"
ibid those nineteen, or any part of them, state
why they voted against said rssolution?''
''Some of them made the sta tement that they were
not to vote the sentiments of their consti
maj r. and 0Nao vnf0 {naf -
against the resolution"
opposed to the republican party voted against the
resolution
Will the people believe the state
ments of President Clover in the above
interview, OF will they rather take the
statements Of the Register, that well
known neutrality-suspicious. Or
gan?
Bro. Caraway further warns his read
ers that the alliance is in danger of
being Manipulated by designing dem
agOgues for the attainment of self
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT while posing as reform
ers." A favorite name applied to all
reformers by the straight-laced, repub-
lican press, is 'Demagogue," and the
Register doubtless considers all leaders
in the alliance movement as such.
TO further stir up the republicans in
the alliance to feeling of discomfort,
the article above quoted from further
says:
1.-THE business depression that pervades the
county is not the fault of the republican party but
the result of the pernicious administration of the
great II am, !" and the democratic mUsuls of this
county will find that they dou sleeps cloth
ing to obtain the aid of republicans in furtherng
their plans"
Wonderful, is it not, what an awful
effect the "pernicious administration
has had in bringing about 1.-THE business
depression that pervades our county,
We would like the brother to explain
if he can, to his readers the true
inwardness of said business depres-
sion." First, though, we would like
him to explain several other questions
the DEMOCRAT has asked him hereto
fore, and on which he has remained as
dumb as an oyster.

A GENERAL strike, which will
involve all branches of business. all
trades and manufactures, has been
gradually working up, and to-day, the
first of May, is promised to come to a
head. Is it not strange that under our
wonderful protective (?) system men
should thus be driven to desperation
and resistance of the power of money!
Where is there another country on
Gods green earth where strikes and
labor troubles are 80 frequentp

Our town people made a mistake in
not attending the speaking at the opera
house Tuesday afternoon. The farm
ers noted the absence of the
town people and laid it to a
spirit of antagonism that does not
exist. It will do no one harm to listen
to all sides of any question of general
importance, and we would like to zee
our people show a spirit Of iberaity
by lending their presence to such
meetings.

AS DIR. BoHRER had no word to say
in favor of ingalls, or Peters we look to
see the Register severely criticise his
speech of Monday afternoon. That
will be in the play. Now tell your
readers, Bro. Caraway, that the Doctor
was brought here by democrats; that
he is southern sympathiser; that
most of his hearers were democrats;
that his arguments were all democratic
arguments--but hold! Don't tell them
the latter, for it is too near the truth.
His arguments ARE on a line with the
plans of the democratic party for a
number of years, and it cannot be
denied.

RUIN and desolation on every side is
the way the banks of the lower Missis-
sippi are described. Entire counties
are inundated, and the loss of growing
crops, live stock, farm machinery and
household goods will never be known.
Hundreds upon hundreds of people are
deprived of their all. The question
arises: Why will people locate in such
localities, where there is almost a GER
tainty that they will be rendered home
less by the annual floods2 Why do
they not seek the broad, high prairies
of the western states, where life is a
pleasure, and competence certainty.
