ton, whether IL is not possible that
the prohibitiOnist who would drag
this question into the present cam
paign as a disturbing element is not
himself something Of a crank alsoj
and ii would likewise be well for the
resubmissionist who regards the pro
hibitionist as a crank to consider
whether there may not be such a
thing as a resubmission crank in the
field. This is not a good season for
Cranks upon either side Of this or any
other question. II is a season for So
rious reflection, unremitting study
and honest, earnest devotion to the
principles Of the peoples platform.
The questions Of money, land and
transportation more intimately con
Germ the people Of America to-day
than any others, and, in our opinion,
Che efforts Of the old bosses TO switch
our people from the main line will re-
suit in ignOminious failure. AS be-
fore stated, our platform is clear and
explicit. It defines the reforms which
the people demand in the interest,
not Of a class, but of the whole peO-
pie, regardless Of race, color, occupa-
tion or previous condition Of political
servitude. KEEP ON THE MAIN
LINE AND IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE ROAD.

SPECIAL TO THE ADVOCATE.

HAYS CITY, Sept %, 1890.
EDITOR ADyOoATE:--Aiter q great blow OF
trumpets, Webb McNall, the republican Candi.
date FOR Congress In the Sixth district came here
TO speak When Candidate Baker came two
weeks ago, the farmers turned out en- masse,
flags we're flying all over tOwn-the procession
was over mile long Today not flag was float
ing; the republicans think so little OF their can
didate not man met him no the depot, and ut
the meeting In the opera house, after the band
had played through the Streets and at the hall,
to run ont crowd, less than one hundred voters
attended the meeting, and one-iOrth Of them
democrats for curiosity. This is the kind Of re-
CeptlOn McNal Is getting in the district, and II
the farmers OF the Sixth district but stick to-
gether, Baker will be elected sure.
We publish the above more as an
example Of what we do not want than
as a matter of information. These
anonymous specials to different pa
pers speaking dispargingly of the
meetings Of opposing parties, are
characteristic Of the old parties. We
hope our correspondents will not ac-
quire their habits. If you are giving
us facts do not be afraid or ashamed
to sign your name and let il go to the
people. Let the people know that
you are responsible for what you say.

The Hutchinson NeUs very reluct-
antly admits that the alliance meet
ing in that city was a success. In or
der to tone down the admission, how
ever, it says:
There were In the parade yesterday lots of re
publicans who, for the sake Of making good
showing for the Alliance participated, but who
will not afillIate with tho peoples party at the
polls,
This will cause people who read
the account in the Ne,Os Of the recent
republican meeting at Hutchinson to
wonder where all these republicans
we're at that time. They must be
very generous-hearted fellows to be
so much more anxious to make a good
showing for the alliance than they
were 70 make a good showing for their
own party.
Would il not be more honorable
though, perhaps less agreeable-Bro

but charges trumpod up for the sole

is ~ A MISTAKE OR A LIEg

The Holton Recorder, after a re-
ceipt Of copy Of the constitution Of
the Kansas state alliance from this
Office, the receipt Of which it acknowl-
edges, still insists that colored men
are not eligible to membership in the
order. 1t admits that there is moth
ing in the constitution 1t has received
prohibiting them, but lodges by de-
nying the authenticity Of this consti-
tuition. This exceeds the bounds
where charity is supposed to extend,
and shows a determination to ma
liciously misrepresent for political ef-
feet. The constitution we sent to the
Recorder is the first constitution
adopted by the Kansas state alliance
It was adopted at Newton at the
meeting beginning Aug 10, 1889, and
published Immediately thereafter
There is not an alliance in the state
but has had this constitution and
has been working under it all this
time.
The Recorder publishes a state
ment of a Mr.. Plumb, a colored man
of Jefferson county, stating that he
had been rejected from an alliance
because of his color. All the answer
we have to make to this is that either
Mr. Plumb is mistaken or the alliance
that rejected him was mistaken. We
know whereof we speak upon this
question, and we further know that
at the annual county meeting Of the
Jefferson county alliance, which meet
ing we attended, there were not less
than five colored men present Were
it important that we should do 80 we
could obtain numerous certificates of
colored men of their actual member
ship in the order, but Of course the
Recorder would pronounce them bo-
gus. The Recorder acts upon the
policy that lie we'll adhered to is as
good as the truth.
Will some alliances that have col
ored members be kind enough to
send us few certificates Of those
members. We think they can be
found right IN Jackson county Let
us have a few Of them ind see wheth-
or there is any honesty in the Holton
! Recorder.

THE Topeka Capital in its anxiety
to prove Governor Humphrey poor
man overshoots the mark. 1t simply
shows that the Governor has been q

THE ISSUES.

UlOn 10 bne bCnemeb OK the Olu phfm6B
TO create dissentions in our ranks,
and the methods resorted to for the
accomplishment Of that purpose
These facts cannot too frequently be
placed before the people. The peO-
ple's party is organized for the ac-
complishment Of certain well-defned
purposes These purposes are clear
ly set forth in the platform adopted
on the 18th Of August. There is no
ambiguity in the language Of that in
strument. The changes designed in
state aud governmental policy are in
tended for the preservation Of Amer
ican homes and American liberties
All classes Of people, Of whatever
calling, except bondholders, money
loaners, greedy corporations, COM
bines and political jugglers, are alike
Interested in the changes proposed
This is a contest between the few who
are rapidly absorbing the vast wealth
Of the nation under existing cOndi-
tions, on the one side, and the many
who are struggling for existence on
the other We have recognized the
fact that while we are everywhere
agreed upon the issues that so inti-
mately concern our material prosper
ity, yet there are questions upon
which we honestly differ in opinion;
and it was wisely agreed not to per-
NIT those questions to divide us at
this time. These are the questions
which the hypocritiCal republican
party is moving heaven and earth to
force upon us.
We desire briefly to point out the
utter futility Of making one Of those
questions an issue in this campaign.
We have a constitutional provision
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
Of intoxicating liquors in the state,
and a stringent law upon the statute
books for its enforcement That law
or that amendment cannot be re-
pealed without a two-thirds vote Of
both the Senate and House, and a
ratification by the people at the polls.
Such a repeal is not possible at this
time, and it is not one Of the ques-
tiOns for which the peoples party is
contending. This ought to satisfy
the prohibition element of the party,
and the utter futility Of any attempt
TO accomplish such change until
such time as the question is made a
leading issue, in such a manner as to
gain a fair expression of the people
upon it should satisfy the resubmis-
sionist to leave it out of the present
contest. While the republican and
resubmission platforms have formal
declarations upon the subject, the at
titude Of the peoples party is such
that no vote can be hoped for at the
coming election that will give any ex-
preston Of the sentiment Of the mass
as Of the people upon this question.
The peoples party has decided to
battle FOX home and for liberty, and

comes the nearest to Offering an ar
gument on the issues Of this cam
paign, on the 25th INST, that it has
ever done. We would like TO see
more Of this kind Of writing and less
Of the mud-slinging, so characteristic
Of the republican press.
We wish to notice one or two points
that appear in the Tribune article.
After speaking Of the gravity OF the
situation and the opinion that gener-
ally prevails, that the republican par
ty is responsible for the present con
dltion Of the country, the Tribune
says:
For the dissatisfaction among the farmers the
party In Kansas Is not 10 blame. Perhaps the
party OF the nation Is not 10 blame either, but II
Is impossible to argue such proposition to the
members OF the alliance who have made mp their
minds 10 hold the party responsible. Whether
responsible or not II must take the blame, and it
Is held no less guilty ths year on account OF the
failure OF crops than II was last year because the
abundance could not be sold. The claims made
seem to be unreasonable and unjust, but they are
made, and the opposition will take advantage Of
them, TO the detrlment Of the republican party.
And these failures viii cost the republican party
thousands Of votes, just ~ though the party had
/ 90, tI.. min tn IA
fall or the prices Of wheat and corn TO decrease,
This paragraph contrasts unfavor-
ably with the general fairness of the
balance Of this editorial. The Tribune
knows that no farmer or any other
person has ever been fool enough to
think Of holding the republican party
responsible for drouth or surplus of
rainfall for an "over-productiOn" or
an under-production Of farm prod
ucts. II would be a discredit to the
intelligence of the editor Of the Trjb-
une to credit him with the belief Of
his own statement. But, in saying
this, what about his honesty7
What the farmers do hold this par
ty responsible for is the Legislation Of
the past thirty years, that has dis
criminated in favor of the few to the
detriment of the many. VIII the
Tribune dispute the justice Of this
complaint? After this attempt at
honest discussion Of issues can we not
hope for another effort on a little
higher plane still than the present
one2
After speaking of the danger that
threatens the republican party at the
present time the Tribune adds:
Az the present time there is no remedy to be
suggested except TO watch and work. When the
time for election approaches measures can be
taken 10 ward of the threatened disaster, per-
haps, but not now. And II is folly for the repub-
llCans OF Kansas TO think they have a clear field
in the campaign, or that they are going to win
"hands down."
We suggest that the rational reme-
dy that would naturally suggest it.
self to the mind of an honest republi-
can, is through an appeal to the in
telligence and the reason Of the poo
pie. II the Tribune is satisfied that
the republican party is not RESPONSE

The Lexington dispatch. [volume] (Lexington, South Carolina) 1870-1917, 1890-10-08

The Republican State Executive
Committee was in session in Colum-
bia On Monday. John L. Tolbert
was endorsed as the nominee Of the
party for Congress from the Third
Congressional District and G. 6.
Alexander of Camden, ex-Demo-
cratic Senator from Kershaw, now
Postmaster, was endorsed for Con
gress from the Fifth District. No &C
ton in regard to the Haskell ticket
was taken, but a sub committee was
appointed to prepare ar address to
the people of the State and to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of putting out
a State ticket. The Independents OF
RcLaneites were in and about the
meeting, and it is yet difficult to pre-
dict what viii be done, whether they
will hold off and endorse the Has
kel ticket or run a secret ticket Of
their own, taking advantage Of the
split now existing in the Democratic
party, with the hope Of again con.
trolling the State government. Upon
the whole, it is getting to be nice
mess and just simply from the fact
of a few hot heads in some counties
who are determined to rule or ruin
the State.
