Your communication is at hand and
contents noted. Shall printyopr notice
this week. Thanks for your suggestion
in regard TO n. Il. r. A., will act ac-
cordingly. respectfully congratulate
You in your victory In. The dynamite in
vestigation. We are organizing very
fast / sincerely hope your glorious
workers in the west will not be too
fast to declare for third party-for a
few months yet know that you must
he very impatient 70. get the mill run
ming. You are probably aware that
am very radical for third party; that
| would glory in pulling the string that
would launch the thievcsa and traitors
into eternity. But my dear brothers,
you are aware that that the east has
been the cesspool of rottenness and
damnation. Now, mean the eastern
cities. But the farmers are just on the
verge of bankruptcy, and are ready
to listen and organize; and Just as
fast as we can get them into the al
lance we have got them body and soul.
In six months time we can get the east
we'll organized; but declare for third
party in May, and I fear the results.
| The money power will then turn on their
batteries, and thousands of good, honest
men will be scared back into the ranks
of the old parties. Now, brothers, am
going to try and be at the Cincinnati
conference, and | hope it will be
friendly and amicable gathering, and
that the best judgment and good sense
will be shown. Rest assured that if the
majority of that gathering declare for a
third party organization, | shall throw
off my coat, and shirt, if necessary, and
work with you western heroes for the
best interests of our common country

The Omaha Bee has condescended to
notice the Cincinnati conference which
is to meet the 18th of May. 1t even adj
mits that it promises to be an impos-
ing affair as to numbers" and that 1T
may make the poll teal battle of next
year rather more interesting and cxcit-
ing than usual" These admissions are
remarkable. 1t is the general custom
of the monopoly press, of which the Bee
is now the chief representative west of
the Missouri, to belittle all movements
of the people for reform, or for any
new party organization. The confer
ence must be promising indeed to exact
such admissions from the Bee SO long
in advance of its coming. But we no.

The editor of the Bee is incapable of
franlIness and fairness in the treatment
of any subject or upon any OCCASION.
lie speaks of the Cincinnati conference
as the creation of the alliance-he as
sumcs that it was called by the aiii-
ancc-and that the formation of third
party by it will signalize the entrance
| of the alliance into national politics
| And yet that editor, unless he is an alb
| Solutc dolt-which he is not-well knew
that there was nothing further from
/ the truth. He knew that that con-
ference was not called by the.
! alliance lie knew that it was called
| by parties outside of the alliance, and
that at least twenty organizations be-
sides the alliance were invited to serd
delegates to it. lie simply distorts and
misrcprcscnts facts to suit the mood he
is in when he writes. If the Cincin-
natl conference results in the forma-
ton of great party, as it probably
will, it will not be an alliance party,
nor X. of l., party, nor any L. M. b.
\. party, but it will be peoples party,
embracing the great plain people of
this country of all classes and con-
ditions without regard to previous con-
ditions of servitudc. In the article
alluded to the editor of the Bee appeals
to republican farmers" not to take
any part in the great move
ment, and gets off the old chestnut
about their throwing away their
votes" by voting for candidates that
may not be elected. He admits, how
ever, that the election of president may
be thrown into the house" Now, we
desire to assure the editor of the Bee
that since the late demo-repub lican
/ combine was made in, this state there
are very few republican farmers in his
bailiwick. Asfor their throwing away
their votes" if there is any more effect
! i've way of doing it than has been prac-
I ticcd by the average republican and
democratic voter for the past ten years,
we will thank the editor of the Bee to
point it out.-Lincoln (Neb.) Farmers
