HOW 1T WILL END.

Now that congress has adjourned and
the state legislature ceased operations
the average democrat will have nothing
to say but that the republican party is
dead. Perhaps when compared with the
democratic party it may be dead to sin,
welfare IF the nation. and even though
there were no real party issues, the glar-
ing mistakes and willful opposition to
every just and important measure pro-
posed by the republicans is more than
sufficient To hurl the pretended REFORM
ers from their pinnacle of shamS and
few northern states that have been Suf-
fering from an attack of temporary in
sanity have been thoroughly purged by an
allOpathic dose of alliance. and are now
cOnvalesccnt. and will soon appear puri
fled and republican.
The failure of prices to advance. as
prophesied by the democrats, has proven
their statements to have been false. \

founded upon the few errors of the oppo-
sition is not one to be trusted with the
task of carrying out the tried and proven
plans of the one progressive party. a
party that believes in justice before gene
rosity, in the political equality of man;
that is honest and courageous enough to
admit of its mistakes instead of hiding
them by covering with others; that has
given to the nation the grandest finan-

is not one to give the reinS of govern
ment into the hands of a party whose
only claim to the right of existence is its
stubbOrnness. by them called cOnserva-
tiveness, of which every page of their
history is one of errors, blunders and
crime, crimes committed under the name
of personal and political freedom, crimes
still more heinous daily permitted and
gloried in under the gauzy excuse of
negro rule. and alleged bloody-shirt
waving by the north.
There is, however, one evidence of
thought, an indication on the part of a
few of the Bourbons to gain momentary
prestige by their usual falsehoods and
by questionable scheming instead of
brazen lying and bulldozing. The only
real evidence of thought or display of
skill during the last twenty years was the
attempt to capture the farmer through
the alliance, Il plan, which for a short
time, might have met with success. were
it not that the inOrdinate love of power.
the spirit of hatred and revenge against
the republican party took the place of
policy and ruled their actions from be-
ginning to end. Yes, we may we'll say
end. for the alliance is no longer an ALI
ance of farmers and democrats. The at
tempt, and it has been quite success,
to force the farmers into the ranks of
their worst enemy. the democrats, has
become evident as the chord of sympa-
thy that held them together. The long
and expensive senatorial struggle that
has just ended in Illinois was solely
chargeable to the few alliance members.
They had the right to vote as they
pleased. but why should they keep the
state at great expense for months: For
one or two reasons, to hide from the
farmers the fact that the alliance and
democrats were one, or to receive greater
pay for longer struggle.
The farmers ale now awake to the fact
that the alliance in Kansas. though de-
cidedly successful at the beginning of the
legislative session was not success at
the close. and are now aware that true
success to the state has. and must come
through the republican party.
