They Are Coming Back.

Rev. Is. Matcbett, the strongest man
in the peoples party III the northwest,
has letter in the Osborne Farmer,
the republican paper, in which he says
he no longer supports the cardinal
principles Of the peoples party. Mr..
Matchett was the alliance speaker pro
TEN Of the last house Of representa-
tiyes. His letter is as follows:
desire TO say, through the Osborne
Papers, that l truly appreciate the
support and confidence Of those that
have used my name for reelection to
the state legislature this fall and also
Of those that have used my name at
Hill City, with the desire of presenting
1t to the congressional convention to be
held at at Colby on June 2.
My surroundings are such that II
would not justify me to accept the
nomination for the legislature and |
would be compelled to decliue, even II
rendered.
And In reference TO the congressional
nominations: | could not cOnscien-
tiOusly accept IL, for could not sup
port in the legislative halls Of the
nation such Utopian schemes as the
"land loan" and "sub treasury" ideas,
believing both to be detrimental tO the
interest Of the Agricultural, the con.
sumner and the government WAS not
aware until quite recently that my
name was used in this connection at
Hill City, but have been 30 informed
by one who was there; also that II was
opposed by an anarchist from Osborne
county.
To my friends desire 10 say that |
am not candidate for any office what
ever. Respectfully, Is. MATCnETT.
The bottom Of the alliance move.
ment has thoroughly dropped out
except where pure bootle is the inspir-
ing element.
