TIL: REAL. CNIISE

Ever since the birth OF the Peoples
party at the Cincinnati convention
every politician OF note in the two larger
ard older organizations has found some
pct theory by which he explains the
causes that led to the formation and
just how those causes will opera te later
Tariff reform has been held up more or
less in theories of that kind as the I'M
dcrcurrcnt, responsible for the move
mont, when 1t seems scarcely probable
that tariff reform had anything to do
with the matter one way or another.
The new Peoples party is not the
Farmers Alliance, although large
per centage of the prominent members of
the newcomers are Alliance men simnlv
and purely because the third party or
ganizers could not hope 10 form new
political party aside from the Alliance.
The Cincinnati platform does not con
tain word about the tariff. The sub.
treasury plan is what has actuated tho
Alliance movement and il constituos
the main feature Of the Peoples party
plank. The Southern Alliance apreos
with the same body in the West only
and so far as details go with regard to
the free coinage of silver, the expansion
of currency and the control of railroads.
PETER, himself, is not stranger to
the pulse of the Kansas Alliance, and
he unequivocally declares that what
the members in his State demand is not
more tariff legislation, but moro money.
Putting aside the sub-trcasury plan,
upon which the organization that is cx.
pectcd TO contribute the most strength
to new party, is itself divided, and the
stringent call for contiscatory railroad
legislation, which is the relict Of a de.

The State Supreme Court In q Bad
Light


CHICAGO, I'LL, May IA special dis
patch from Omaha says: "a bombshen has
been exploded in political circles by the
off ial announcement that the verdict in the
Boyd-1hayer contest case was rendered by
the supreme court without discussion Of the
issues and merits Of the case by the judges
Of the court. Never during the entire
proceedings was there q conference held
at which Judge Maxwell was permitted
to express his views or Interchange views
with his colleagues. Judgs Cobb was out
of the state several weeks, and Judge Nor
vail, the youngest man on the bench, is the
ostensible author Of the majority opinion,
to which Judge Cobb appended his name
after a private consultation, in which the
Oldest justice on the supreme bench was
entirely ignored.
ISSUING OF THE WRIT.
Immediately after the opinions were
fled Judge Cobb left the court room with
Gov. Thayer, John T. Webster and Judge
Mason. lie went to the clerks office and
ordered a writ issued without the consent
of his associates. When Judges Max
well and Norvau learned that the writ
Of custer had been surreptitiously
issued Judge Maxwell Indignantly charac-
terized the proceeding as beneath the dig
nifty of the court. He cited the rule of the
court JudJ the QeleuuduL ndQ TiRuL TO DIS
motion for a rehearing, and that in no
event could any writ be issued inside of
forty days, unless by express order of the
court.
NoRvALL AGREES WITH MAXWELL.
Judge Norvan agrees with Judge
Maxwell that the proceedings on the
part of the chief justice was ir-
regular and in violation of the rule
Of the court, yet he did not join with
Judge Maxwell for a recall of the writ.
That Gov. Boyd's summary taking off was
preooncerted Is proved by the fact that PEN
itentiary Contractor Mosier was on hand in
the capitol an hour before the decision was
rendered and promptly presented himself to
sign Gov. Thayer's bond. This will consti-
tute the chief plea in the appeal to the
United States supreme court by Gov.

home. The train from Atlanta that night,
which he met on the road, contained Mr..
Phillips and his brother from Marietta.

Miss Rossignol was secured and she went
out for a walk and was met by her
fiance and his brother. They, together
with two young ladies and gentlemen,
cousins Of the groom living in this city. went
