MUSTJERRE GO?

Sumner County Press: A Seventh
district alliance lecturer has informed
the Anthony Journal, so that paper
says, that the alliance members believe
that Simpson has been monkeying with
eastern people so much that he has be-
come inoculated with eastern ideas.
This lecturer asserts that the belief
IS prevalent in that organization that
Jerre has deliberately betrayed them
and cites his course at Cincinnati as ev-
idence. There have been several meet
ings of the "bosses" at Larned, King
man and Dodge City, and the conclus-
ion has been the same at all of them,
that in nominating Jerre they had
made serious mistake and that they
did not propose to repeat it." Poor
Mr.. Simpson. This lecturer says they
have arrived at the conclusion that the
man they want and the man they can
trust is Hon. Geo. L. Douglass of
Wichita. 1t is understood that George
Is not seeking the Office, but, like Mr..
Barkis, he is willin'. We reckon Jerre
will have to 90 if this informant of the
Journal speaks by the card. We are
not surprised to hear such talk"
Neither is the INDEX surprised at
such rot in the Press. Why don't you
name the lecturer? Then the lecturer
would probably go, if you could induce
the alliance to believe he said so. Jere
is all right, and is more popular to-day
than when first elected. How Is Jlmi

WICHITA EAGLETS.

The following extracts are from the
Sunday Eagle. Marsh must have i'm.
bibed an unusual amount of pine-top
prohibition last Saturday:
Mrs. Lease put on a disguise the
other day, assumed a soprano voice and
slipped down town and enjoyed good
drink of lemonade
lit is not Judge Mckay who is to
blame. 1t is the alliances 1t did not
fulfil its part of the bargain. 1t didn't

THE biographerS are particularly
taciturn about Peffer's boyhoOd. The
horrible truth has probably struck
them that he never was little "sha-
YER"
kansas is to elect congressman at

at large just at present, but, unfortu-
nately, there is no law to rope him In. ,
Jerry Simpsons theory is that the
farmers of Kansas to succeed must
fail. 1t will be remembered what a
beautiful failure Jerry had been up to
his advent last year."
''KIngman is as big town as Medl-
cine Lodge. We do not know who is

4 TRAVELLING LIE.

Medicine Lodge Cresset: Had there been a
sufficient crowd in town Monday, Congress-
man Simpson would haye favored us with a
speech"
Harper Graphic: Jerry has evidently for
gotten how he used to be satisfied with half
dozen yawninE DEMONSTRATING the grizzly
bearded man from the 'gyp hills. the livery
stable hand and the grocery man over there
on barrel
You bet Jerry never had any such
audiences. Even when he used to skin
democrats and republicans alike, they
always turned out hear him. He made
1t interesting. We don't expect either
of the above named papers to correct
the falsehood. They both know why
he did not speak, and both know that
big crowd was waiting to hear him.

THE DEMOORATIO ADDREss,

may not be particularly dangerous, but
the next 10 a nothing party In Kansas
to-day IS the democratic party. There
amt enough of them left to resolve a
wish that Blame should die. This par
W which has shrunk up and out of
sight, and disappeared behind the pass
words hole of surveillance doors, is to
meet at Topeka on the 9th to issue an
address to the state and nation How
ever much the state and nation may be
interested in Kansas democracy, we
suggest a circular sent to the sub-alli-
ances will catch the greatest number of
the old mossbackers of that party. PEI
fer and Simpson and Greenback Davis
have become the mouth-pieces of the
Kansas democracy. The mouth-pieces
were chosen by the democratic votes,
not one OF whom ever voted a demo-
cratic ticket, unless Jerry happened to
at some time when he could fiud no An
archy ticket in the field. The Kansas
City Times remarks that the demo-
cratic party of Kansas has a future ,
That may be, but, as the Emporia Re-
publican well puts it, it is certain it
has no present. AS nobody, not even
the alliance seems to care what Kansas
democracy may or may not resolve to
do, its party leaders and papers are en-
titled to sympathy. And we hope that
the forthcoming address will have re-
spectful hearing"
While the Eagle, the leading repub-
lican paper of Kansas, is publishing
such stuff about the democrats, the
democrats of Barber county are resolv-
ing to put out ticket, and thus give
the republicans all the aid possible, by
taking strength from the peoples par
ty. A democrat said to US, few days
ago, after reading the above, that "any
man who would write such SANDER
would steal; he was mean enough to
assassinate an enemy If he were not
afraid to do So" Has the alliance ever
slandered the democratic party? No.
The alliance appreciates the assistance
the democrats gave it last fall, and Is
doing all it can to deserve the conf
dence bestowed on it. The republic
cans have slandered everything that OPP
posed them.

Our republican friends are pretend

Uses to beat all previous records. Now,
with all this abundance the alliance is
better able to make hot fight than
ever. The Lord would not send rain
and plenty to Kansas while the people
sat listessly down and let the g. o. p. rob
them of everything. AS soon as the
people got a move on themselves, and
kicked the robbers, then the LORD
came to the rescue and gave them good
crops. We would have starved out in a
bout one year more OF republican rule
Under the rule of the people we may con
tinue to expect good crops, good health
and many other blessings not hereto
fore enjoyed. The Lord helps those
who help themselves.
