"There was great Peoples rally at
Diamond on Thursday evening of last
week." remarked w. Il. Davis the
other day. Candidate Baker and
Seth Bartlett were the speakers and
there was a grand total of II in the
nf n
licans. The object of the meeting was
to organize Peoples club, and after
much speaking and personal sOlicita-
ton just three men signified their
willingness to become members. The
organization was postponed for two
weeks. A collection was taken up
and the sum of ten cents was raised.
One man promised to give them five
cents more when he sold his hogs"
The Republican Club met at the
Court House Monday night and COM
pleted organization by the election of
the following officers: NJ. p. Jacoby,
pres, John Everheart, vice-pres., Lutte
Northrup, sec. and treas. An executive
committee and an enrolment commit
tee of five members each, were also
chosen. Capt. Slower was made chair
man of a committee to organize and
equip a marching club. On taking
the chair President Jacoby made an
excellent speech which aroused a great
deal of enthusiasm. Lutte Northrup
was also called on for a speech and
brought down the house by saying, 81
guess / shall have to do my speech
making as Cleveland did his fighting.
by substitute" After considerable
talk "fOr the good of the order" the
club adjourned to meet on Thursday,
September 10. Thereafter it will meet
every Thursday evening until the
election. An entertaining program
will be prepared for each meeting and
it is hoped that there will be always
a large attendance. The Club has Sc
cured the use of the Opera House dur
ing the campaign and all ite meetings
will be held there. The ladies are es-
pecially invited to be present.
1t is well known that orders were
recently sent out from the Peoples
party headquarters that mighty eff
fort should be made to revive the AL
lance lodges and awaken their men,
bers to the necessity of paying up their
back dues in order that the campaign
fund might be replenished. 1t was in
response to these orders that the few
who still remain active members of the
order III this county were gathered to-
gether in lola two or three weeks ago.
The meeting was secret one and, of
course we could not learn what trans
pired, further than the racket over
the endorsement of Moore which grew
loud enough to breach out into the street
and which found its way to the ears of
the REGISTER-much to the chagrin
of some of the leaders who are proving
their brotherly love and charity by ac-
cusIng some brother of treason" to
the order, in having carried us the re-
port, a charge that ought to shame
those who make it. But it is our guess
that the Allen county Alliance will
not be a very liberal contributor to the
Peoples campaign fund this year.
Before contributing any more money
the members will try to study up what
they have got in return for that al
ready invested. They have paid
sometimes one dollar and sometimes
ten dollars for some lecturer" or other
to come around and talk to them:-and
they are beginning to wonder now
whether they really made any money
by it. And while they are wondering
about this they will not pay out any
more cash for the same thing. The
size of the collection up at Diamond
the other evening-ten cents-wOuld
seem to INDICATE that even the People
are getting a little weary of the fell
lows who are always passing the hat.
The Peoples party campaign fund
will not be enriched by Alliance con-
tributions this year.
