In q recent interview in Denver, Mr..
Bynum, the great democratic leader.
expressed considerable doubt as TO the
result In Ohio. Mr.. Bynum Is correct
in being cautious. No one can tell

ley's majority.-Kansas City Journal.

PEFFER says that as soon as the peo-
pie get more money the alliance viii
gold is now coming from Europe at the
rate OF nine million week. At that
rate the party OF PETER will soon be on
its last legs, according to its prophet
Lawrence Journal.
What Is this? Jerry Simpson drink

gods, what transtion-a year ago this
verdsut fellow was tramping baretooted
over the stubble fields of western Kan
sas, and now he Is high roller, an old
campsigner, and Is developing into q
sport-Topeka Lance.
PETER has made the statement that
as soon as more money is issued BY the
government the peoples party will
disband. OF course the senator does
not represent his party in this matter

The reduction Of duties by the Nc
Kinley bill has diminished the revenue
to the extent of al, ,0O0,OO0 per year.
This is sufficient answer to all demo
cratic talk about the alleged tendency
OF the republican party to collect more
money than it needed for the legitimate
expenses OF the government.-Globe-
Democrat.
Will the AtchisOn Patriot and other
democratic papers which are running
the garbled extract from Mr.. Blaine's
criticism of the Mckinley bill at the
head OF their columns, be fair enough
to substitute Mr.. Blsine's own explain
alton OF that criticism? No. Such pa
pers do not desire to be fair. They
want to make partisan point, without
regard to fair play or honesty .-Empo-
ria Republican.
The farmers of Kansas and other
states are 80 busy getting their wheat
to market and paying of their farm
mortgages that they have no time to
attend to alliance meetings to hear ca
lamity shouters tell them how poor
they are. This state OF affairs is very
discouraging to the professional calam-
ity leaders, but it is mighty encour-
aging to the farmers.-KansSs City
Journal.
When you size up the list of alliance
leaders and consider the past records
of Farmer Simpson, Farmer PETER,
Farmer Nicholson, Farmer A. j. r.
Smith, Farmer Otis, Farmer Foster,
Farmer Ives, Farmer Lease, Farmer
Davis and other leaders among lhe
farmers you begin to wonder when the
actual farmer is going to have a show
In this new party which has been or
ganized for the benefit Of the farmers.

The Index says we are TO have de-
bate between Corning and Dawes un-
less Dawes shows the white feather.
That's just like alliance cheek. Simp-
son showed the white feather In being
afraid to meet Dawes, Willis showed
the white feather in failing to meet
Bradford after having made the en-
gagement, McKeigan showed the white
feather In failing to meet Anthony.
The alliance orators all hiding In the
brush, and vet the Index talks Of show
ing the white feather.-Minneapolis
Messenger.
1t Is hardly likely that the demo-
mocratic campaign ISLANDERS In regard
to Mr.. Blaine and the Mckinley tariff
have deceived any one. The motive
behind them has been plain and their
absurdity has been apparent Mr..
Blaine has, however, taken the pains
to expose and refute the falsehood pub
licity in his letter to John Hopley, the
veteran Ohio editor. His words show
how heartily he supports the Mckinley
law in the form in which 1t was enact

A dispatch from Leavenworth says
the farmers alliance OF that county Is
rapidly going to pieces and will amount
to very little in politics this fall The
two leading candidates on the county
ticket, after quietly investigating the
standing Of the peoples" party have
withdrawn from the race. They found
that the members are leaving rapidly
and are returning fto old party aftili-
ations. The main cause of discomfort
is the strong southern sentiment that
seems to predominant the organization
and the sub-treasury treasury scheme.

The first alliance demand is "the alb
olition Of national banks and the substi-
tuition of legal tender treasury notes
in sufficient quantity to do the
business OF the country on a cash sys-
tem." According to the best authori-
ties the volume OF the currency is about
|. 600 millions and 50 percent Of the
business transactions Of the country
are done by means Of bank facilities in
stead of money. To satisfy the alliance
demand. therefore, would require 81, coo
million dollars. Otis with his paltry
seven billions is not in it with this pri-
mary demand.-Topeka Capital.
