CHICAGO, Aug. COW. F. Rightmire,
secretary of the Citizens National Alli-
ance and Industrial Union, arrived in
Chicago yesterday from Topeka, Kan.
!! His object in visiting Chicago at this time
Is to organize assemblies and to appoint
organizers for the Peoples party Mr..
Rightmire is practicing attorney in
Topeka, but his bronzed hands and face
indicate that he is not out of place in a
farmers movement. Even in dress he is
a typical farmer. His white SLOUGH hat
covers a large head which is set on a
broad pair of shoulders He is about so
years of age. From this city he will go to
Lansing, Mich, thence to Detroit and
from there to Ohio, where he will make
several speeches in the interest of his
party ticket.
The Presidential Candidate.
Speaking of the campaign of 1892, Mr.
Rightmire said the Peoples party would
have a national ticket.
"What are Carter H Harrison's chances
for the nomination.
Il never heard him mentioned in connec-
ton wlth the nomination by any of the
leaders of the party. Our candidate will
be western man, without doubt, and
were to give guess at the present time
l would name Weaver, of Iowa. There
are many to select from. We have J. Il
Powers, of Nebraska: Ignatius Donnelly,

other available men. In case Westfall

as it probable that the Alliance may
form fusion with either one of the old
parties?"
NO, sir. We are in the middle of the
road, and we expect to drive the two old
parties to fusion against US. From the
tone of the eastern newspapers we believe
that they are DESTROYS for a combined re-
sistance to our movement. Judging by
the editorials in such papers as The Phil
adelpLia Press, The New York Post. The
New York Times and The Boston Globe
for the past two weeks, they propose a

south. The editorials appearing in the
different metropolitan papers of the
eastern states of late leads US to believe
