Considering you live right I'M
der the drippings of the ''iron
jaw" of 10 Blackburn, you are,
my dear brother, "childlike and
bland" to degree that is phe
nomenal. Granting, for the sake
OF argument that the Peoples
Party and the Alliance party were
not identical at the time you say
l regarded them as being identi
cal, I think if you will read the
Associated Press dispatch from
Indianapolis of November 10Th,
you will admit they are identical
now.
The head lines to the dispatch
read as follows. The Alliance is
captured By the Peoples Party-L.
l.. Polk re-elected President az: in
The Sub Treasury scheme spit
upon, while Jerry Simpson is
barred.
"The dispatch says, "The Peo-
Piles Party has captured the AL
lance. x x !; = !: i; 4 < !: The
capture of the Alliance by the
Peoples Party vas practically ac-
complished two or three days ago
but the full extent of the capture
, was not apparent until to-day
when President Polk was unani
mously reelected and j. H
Loucks of South Dakota chosen
, Vice President
just as sure as the whale swal
, lowed Jonah your party has eon'
into the esophagus Of the liquo
Octopus, at whose borning at Gin
cinati, May 20, 1891, Con Burk
hauscr, a Dutch Brewer, VIII
, could not speak English intelligi-
e bly,, presided as midwife, and tn
process OF dige stion and assimila
ton is now going on.
Taking the suggestion in you
letter seriatim l beg leave to ex
plain to you that there is not il
North America such a thing as
"Prohibitionist with Republican
tendencies" or with Democrat
/, tendencies" any more than Their

J tendencies.
Il There is a kind of a politics
mule or mulatto jackass on on
side and horse on the other-th;

; what he rotfs for.
" would like for you and other

y that the Prohibition party is nc
o a temperance society. L neve

ciety and never expect to Th

with him, but a pretty woma
walked up to me and pinned
