Special REFLEC TOR Correspondence.
SOLOMON, Sept. 14.-This burg is
awake politically and can be depended
upon to give last Saturdays nominees
rousing majority.
The democrats are Straying about
the pasture forlorn and hungry. They
can find nothing to nibble. 1t is great
fun to see Scarf, Harris, Warren, Shea
han, Neumiller and the other leading
lights" fighting the powers that be and
that are to be, and getting 10 conSo-
latioD. They are mad at the republic
cans by nature and are Tuning over
the havoc which the alliance has made
among the country democrats. They
are reaping the righteous reward of
last years victory"
They smiled broadly when Ingalls,
was done up. They chuckled among
themselves when the alliance took the
court house and they gibed us most
gleefully. They thought their day of
jubilee was at hand and not until the
alliance showed its hand by denounc-
ing their stuffed prophet Grover and
casting free trade aside for money
reform with calamity PETER as the
hero of the hour, did they awake to the
grand WATERFALL which crowned their
brilliant fuse.
Whether they will take another dose
Of the same medicine this year remains
to be seen, Among themselves we are
told that they still talk tariff reform
and Grover, and are plotting a grand
revival of free trade but on the street
they howl against protection and re-
publicanism and indicate an intention
to fuse with the sub-treasury calamity
ties. While they used to have and may
yet own a respectable number of votes
in this precinct, republicans have moth
ing to fear from them as they have no
strength elsewhere in the county,
The alliance is a fusion between
democrats and union laborites, with
union laborites in control. We hear
misled republicans denouncing the
scheme and see them returning to the
fold,
If republicans will resume their old
time energy and make a campaign in
earnest, it will be easy to defeat the
union labor party. Such time-servers
as those officials who have Joined the
alliance for Office will come back with
alacrity after one application of the
shingle to their pOsteriOrs. -
Send our candidates out, Let them
speak in Solomon, and for goodness
sake don't let them be fooled into
patting democrats on the head. Let
them hit the dems good substantial
ticks between the eyes. COwardly
catering will destroy any party. 1t has

TO HOLD WHEAT.
An Alliance Circular Advising Farmers to
Hold For SI.5O BusheI.

An Alliance Circular Advising Farmers to
Hold For SI.5O a BusheL
ST. PAUL, Mimi, Sept 15.-The chiefs
of the Farmers Alliance made another
sensational move to-day by issuing l.
900, 900 circular letters to wheat-grow-
ers of Minnesota, North Dakota and
South Dakota, calling halt in the mad
rush of grain to the market, which has
been going on the past fortnight
Wheat has been sold aud delivered to
the railroads so fast that they have been
unable to haul it all, and the receipts
at the elevators at Duluth and Min
neapolis are running from 600 to 1000
cars day. This unprecedented move
ment of grain has had a depressing
effect on the market At the close Sat
urday afternoon in Minneapolis the
price of December wheat was 90Hc, a
drop of nearly 10c a bushel in two
weeks. In a consultation at the
office of Editor Muller, of the news
paper. the State, it was the general
opinion that unless the farmers discon-
tinue their 'tinsane rush" to realize,
wheat would soon be selling at Soc
.
tended as an eye-opener on the situa-
ton, and the alliance men expect it to
result in farmers storing their grain in
anticipation of better prices in the next
two or three weeks The letter claims
that it will be worth 81, 600, 900 to the
farmers to hold their grain month.
The newspapers are charged with
being in league with the spectators
and millers to depress prices 1t is
stated that Europe is short 67s, 900, 900
bushels, which is more than four times
as much as the American surplus The
letter concludes:
wheat will soon be over S1.50, no
matter how much farmers and specu-
lators work together to keep prices
down, and we would advise those who
can comprehend the situation to
hold their wheat for s1.6O and add for
every month they keep ii, say cents,
TO the price. Hold your wheat, you
cannot get left
