S. 5. STEVENS, the champion
feathcrweight politician, made an
anti.Alliance-Mayes speech at the
barbecue at Gayson Wills last
Thursday. Among other good (2)
things, Stevens said the allotment
idea originated at Vinita, Alton
and Chelsea, and will go no further,
and that they (thc Mayseites }
would bury it into oblivion. We
hope our readers will excuse us
for quoting Spence Stevens, but
this is just so funny we can't help
it. Hal hal hal

WTH the way some of Mayes'
old party friends have went back
on him within the last week, we
cannot help demonstrating. The
fact is he is just as good man now
as he was before the people found

knew it all the time though.

SOME Of the Mayes campaign
orators love to dwell upon the
pedigree of the Downing party.
They love to tell how Lewis Down

a certain party of our citizens to
come back and all be one people.
That was all right at that time.
1t showed patriotic spirit and is
worthy of praise. But what is it
worth now. 1t reminds one of a
guide board still standing for years
after the road had been fenced up.

As Democrats See It,

There is great unanimiJy among
democratic leaders as to the part the
peoples party is to play in the 1892
campaign. Senator Carlisle, of Ken
lucky, in a recent interview expressed
his view in regard to the political sit
uation. In his opinion unless the
situation changes very much, any com.
petent and honest democrat nominated
for president in 1882 can be elected. y
He does not think that the third party
twill prove an important factor in the
coming national contest, even should
it determine to nominate a candidate.
The most it could accomplish would be
to throw the election into the house,
in which event democrat would GER
tainly be chosen"
Mr.. Carlisle's view is amply sus-
tanned by James Campbell, democratic
nominee for governor Of Ohio, who in
an interview last week said:
There will be, no doubt, a third party
in the field in 1892. We know that
there will be a peoples party but
whether it will embrace all the ele-
ments opposed to the two leading
parties and thus prevent a separate
ticket being put up by the farmers
alliance is yet to be determined.
sin any event do not think that the
peoples party will get any electoral
votes, except possibly in Kansas,
which seems to be their stronghold.
But they have sufficient strength to
give Illinois, Wisconsin and Ohio to
the democrats. In fact, 1 think the
third party movement insures what
was reasonably certain before-the
election of a democratic president in
1892. At the very worst, it will throw
the election into the house of repre-
sentatiyes and that will secure the
election of the democratic candidates"

CHICAGO, July S.-A sensational train
wrecking is being investigated by the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul road.
The wrecking occurred near Lansing,
Ia, July /, and has, up to this time, es-
capped publication. A prisoner was to-
day taken into custody at Lans-

track of his three cOnfederates.
The McGregor passenger train
bound for La Crosse, Wis, with several
cars heavily loaded with passengers
when near Lansing struck an obstruc-
ton placed upon the rails and the en-
CINE was hurled over the bank into the
Mississippi river. Fortunately the cars
remained on the track, the engineer,
Charles Todd, giving up his life to save
his passengers.
The fireman jumped and saved him
self The engineer reversed the lever
and opened the sand valve so that the
cars might stay on the rails. His
first question when rescued from the
ruins of the engine, badly scalded
and writhing in agony, was if any
passengers had been hurt. Upon re-
ceiving the negative answer from the
passengers who crowded about him,
Todd smiled as he looked around
'Well, this is a glorious Fourth we are
having. l am afraid we had too many
fireworks" Todd died shortly after

that no burns or marks were discovered,

Who Are Running the Alliance?


The peoples party will have to go very
circumspect il it expects 10 gain victory.
Especially in the county OF Butler is this
applicable. 1t is with desire foe the success
of ;the people oyer the Opprsssor, that we
will while there is yet time, agitate thor
ough reform in our own ranks. TIE floating
mass Of demagoguery, soreheadism, incom-
potency, hoodlumism and other rubbish must
be thrown of. The people must act in con-
vention and see that this is cone. Much of
our representation has been a weak spot ut
which the enemy has hurled his Shafts, and
this year vii. the effects DO felt more than
last The true friends of the people have
been thrown aside to make room for self
seeking leo fers-the loaf5r has represented
the industrious farmer. We know one or
TWO whose wives did washing for the family
support while their husbands talked politics
on the sidewalks OF Augusta, who hold i'm
D .rtant positions on county committees and
who will this year be seeking politira al pre-
ference. We are sons OF industry and by
such do we want 10 BE- epTesented.-GT Tow
anda Herald.
We are surprised. The impression
has somehow gotten out that all the
nice, good men were in the peoples
party and that all the rascals were
republicans.
The TOwanda Herald is the organ
of the alliance party in Butler county
and its editor ought to know what it is
talking about.
The alliance movement had a good
deal of honesty at the bottom of it
when it first started; but, as the Tow
anda Herald says, will somebody please
gaze at the crowd who are now run
ming it in this county. Look at the
men who are holding the offices, set
ting up the conventions and drawing
the salaries. Look at them and count
them over on our fingers.
The sorehead5 of the republican
party, the demagOgues aud the floating
mass of rubbish.
Are they farmers or have they any
interest in farmers?
Not much. The fellows live in the
towns, make their living with their
mouths and are just smart enough to
capture the alliance.
And who is paying the bills? Who
is whacking up tie money to keep
these town fellows tramping around
organizing things? And who is get
ting the gravy out of all this? The
farmer wants to sell his farm produce
at the highest price. These town
patriots who are trying to run the
alliance want to buy this same pro
duce at the cheapest possible price,
and yet these two classes of men are
playing that they are working tOgeth-
er.-[El Dorado Republican.
There is a great big moral in the
above for the people of Dickinson
county. There is a great similarity
between Butler and Dickinson in that
respect.
