LeavenwOrth County Farmers Alliance
Meeting.
THE vICE-pREsDENT or THE NATIONAL
FARMERS ALLIANCE AND INDUSTRIAL
UNION WITH THEM

The Leavenworth county Farmers AL
lance met in Tonganoxie Kansas, March
1st, 1890. After the usual prellminaries,
"Kanaas Ben" b. IL. Clover, Vice-Presi-
dent Of the National Farmers Alliance
and Industrial Union Of America, was in
troduced and spoke more than an hour,
not with the fiery eloquence Of Ingalls, TO
keep a Solid North and West arrayed
against a Solid South to contend over the
bones while the Solid East steals away
with the meat; but with IA calm, quiet,
easy recital Of facts in abundance and
forcible reasoning to create a Solid North,
West and South against the Solid East
Wall Street. His remarks on "Old Abe
Lincoln, Republicanism and genuine
JefIersonian Democracy in the Farmers
Alliance" were q treat.
"Pointers, past, present and future on
the Political Boss tactics, were well made
and received. Our servants words "be-
fore and after taking"-election we're In
structive, The main question, mo side
issues" hit the nail on the head. "Bill
Hackney left" lesson in itself.
"0ur Catholic Brothers" breathe the
spirit of a man true, noble and grand.
Our Catholic brothers as we'll as all others
were highly pleased and all feel confident
that the Farmers Alliance will do what
is fair and right in the matter Cheers
and applause greeted our State President
of the Farmers Alliance, all through his
discourse.
Numerous questions we're asked him
by the members generally and satisfacto-
rily answered
The position Of our county president
and county organizer was fully sustained
on many doubtful points, so that the ALI
ance work in this county is straight and
right,
From the nature Of the resolutions in-
troduced, and the discussions, tits evident
that the sub-alliances aud the members
are getting down to hard work in reform.
II is expected that two days will be re-
quired TO transact the business Of the next
meeting and accordingly the day set to
begin is Friday, April 4th, and delegates
are requested to come prepared to remain
Saturday. All alliance members are cor
daily invited to attend.

the Republican delegation is broken.
Only one Republican is elected-Hon.
