The most exciting contest over the city
mayoralty is now pending here that has ever
been known in the history of this place The
recent extension Of the city limits takes in
three times as much territory as We had be-
fore and a largely increased number Of voters

taken III each ward 10 indicate the probable
man for mayor. Two names were thus put
before, The people. Mayor James W. Forbis,
the incumbent. who has been N Office two
years. and Captain George II. Gregory. a
prominent lawyer of the city the latter aggre-
eating small majority IN tie ward vote.
According to programme an immense mass
meeting WAS held ID the courthouse TO ratlty
the ward nominations for aldermen, and to
ballot for mayor. After the initial proceed
inss there was deadlock for two hours.
The Gregory party maintained that
the vote by wards on the night
before was the bona iide nomination and
should be abided by. The FOrbis party saw that
thus their man would be lett without popu-
lar recognition and they commended that the
mass convention should go into a ballot.
After two hours Of vigorous cross-hre talks,
motions and resolves the convention was at
last obliged TO adjourn and abide by the
popular vote 10 come off on next Monday

EDITOR Sun:
With your permission have few

farmers Of Stevens County through
the columns of The SUN In regard to
a great scheme which has been hatch.
ed by few corrupt and evil minded
men who have crowded themselves
into the Alliance for the sole purpose
of gratifying their ambitious desires.
The scheme is to sell out the now de-
clining Great w est to the subordinate
Alliances in this state for $ll 900 re.
serving a 81 900 Editorial controlling
influence in the paper.
1t is reported that the Great West
plant did not cost to exceed $4,000,
and now that the Editor is losing
prestige, also large number of sub
scribers, he asks the poor farmers
that he has published so much about
being swindled by monopolists to buy
ont plant for $4,000 which cost on.
ly 81, 900 and take him in as a ST. 900
partner. "Oh consistency thou art
a jewel" Farmers of Stevens
County are you aware Of the fact
now conceded by nearly all in
telligent farmers. that this same
Editor of the Great West did more
to defeat S. NJ. Owen last November
than any paper published in the
state? He cannot ruin himself, for
he was a political wreck when he
he started the Great West, and now
| he Is trying to drag the Alliance
party down into the filth and slush
where he is wallOwing. The re are a
few men in the Alliance who ought
not to belong to it. DR.. Fish is one
of them. The Alliance principles are
noble. elevating, and it is not right
that we should disgrace ourselves by
entering into such an agreement as
the Editor Of the Great West pro-
poses.
This article is written as a warn.
ing to members of the Alliance, yet
there will be some men who do not
see the CANCER that threatens us, and
will cenSure the writer; hut l ven
ture the assertion that f Subordinate
| Alliances in this state should pur-
chase the Great West with the pres
ent Editor to control it, they will
see that they have made one of the
greatest mistakes of their lives, for
it is Dcnnelly's and Fish's motto to
rule or ruin, and if they cannot rule
the Alliance they will do all they Can
to ruin it.
Now. brother farmers, do not
allow the enemy within the camp to
hoodwink you. Do not enter into
this compact blindfoIded. but listen
to reason, count the cost. investigate
do not be deceived; it will prove
