10 tears, and the brethren across the
line are wiping their eyes in sym
pathy. The press just now has much
to say of alliance treachery" and
double dealing" The facts are that
the combination which really existed
was q combination OF democratic poll
ticians not connected any Of the in
dustrial organizations that have
brought the peoples party into eXis-
tence. Some Of thosepoliticians were
frequent visitors at this Office and at
che Office of the state central commit
tee prior 10 the convention, seeking to
bring about such a combination as
they desired. They were frankly and
positively assured that such an ar
rangemont could not be thought Of
One Of their number sought to have
certain articles prepared by himself
inserted in THE ADVOCATE. Failing
in his purpose TO secure their publ
cation as contributions he sought TO
have them published as raid matter
al full rates. This proposition was
also rejected, and this is the kind Of
encouragement the democratic scheme
received all along the line
The Kansas City Times says that
Governor Robinson was called upon
by the recognized leaders Of the
Farmers Alliance and asked il he
could accept the nomination" Who
does the Times regard as the recog-
niSed leaders of the alliance1 Most
Of the leaders of the alliance within
the circle OF our acquaintance were
not in favor of Governor Robinson's
nomination, and we believe we know
the most Of those leaders. We also
know Just who il was that manipulate
cd the Robinson boom, and we have
always regarded those men as schem-
ing democratic politicians. If they
have become alliance leaders, the
members of the alliance have not yet
learned Of the fact.
These democratic politicians were
extremely generous in their proposed
deal. They were willing we should
have the platform if they could have
the Offices; and when they we're re-
minded by a vote Of four to one in the
convention that their scheme was
fully understood and politely reject
cd, they suddenly discovered that the
peoples party is only republiCanism
in disguise anyhow, and they never
did have any use for it. They could
not believe us when we told them SIX
weeks before the convention that their
plans would miscarry. Possibly they
will have more confidence in our
knowledge OF the situation hereafter,
whether they have confidence in the
wisdom Of our policy or not.
