People's voice. [volume] (Wellington, Sumner County, Kansas) 1890-1917, 1892-10-21
WELLINGTON, NOV. 4tl.

To the voters Of Sumner and sur
rounding counties: All lovers Of re-
form and the people generally are re-
Spectfully invited to attend the grand
rally Of the Peoples party to be held
at Wellington on Friday, Nov. t. 1892.
Come with large delegations and take
part in the street parade during the
day and the torchlight procession at
night. Let the reception, on the
above date, given to Jerry Simpson
and L. D. Lewelling, be the grandest
and best ever given to any one at any
time in the history Of our city.
Bring your wives and families and let
the young men bring their sweet
hearts and be sure don't forget to
bring your baskets well filed with
provisions sufficient to last all day
and have a good time. Be sure to
bring your flags, banners, notices and
bands of music and make this an ex-
tremely enjoyable occasion. The pa
rade will take place on Washington
Avenue as early as possible on the
morning of the 4th. The various del
egatiOnS will be informed where they
a1e to take their positions in the line
Of parade by the marShals of the day,
Bros. j. R. SimOnS, G. A. Camp, Mark
Ward and their aids. Any person de-
string information in regard to mot
toes to be used on that occasion are
referred to the chairman on ground
and decoration committee, S. Ewing
Smith, of Wellington.
Our candidate for governor, L. D.
Lewelling, will discuss the political
issues of the day in the afternoon at
2O'clock p. M, at McMahan's grove
en- Slate creek, southwest of town.
Hon. Jerry Simpson, our congress-
man of the Big Seventh, will speak
at the grove, also at Woods Opera
House at 1880 o'clock p. m, on the
4th of Nov. Don't forget the date,
Nov. 4, Friday, for this reason: We
have been informed that there is an
effort being put forth by persons not
favorable to our reform movement, to
convince our people that Congress-
man Simpson will be in Wellington
on Saturday, Nov. ). Such is not the
case. He will NOT be in Wellington
on that day. We want as many peO-
pie as can conveniently do so to take
part in our tOrchlight procession at
night in town.
Perhaps no better opportunity than
the present can be found to invite
you to attend the meeting to be held
at Woods Opera house at 1870 o'clock,
p. NJ, Oct. q, when W. A. Harris,
our candidate for cOngreSSman-at,
large, is to speak. Don't forget it.
We fear the waste basket, but can
not refrain from saying that the eyes
of the world are centered upon Kan
Sas this year. We live in the greatest
state of the grandeSt nation upon the
face of the earth today. Kansas has
always been in the fore front of every
reform movement, both before and
since she became state. Kansas
took the lead in liberating four mil
lions of black men from bondage and
this year if every refOrmer does his
whole duty to his home and country,
she will take the lead in liberating
from bondage in the neighbOrhOOd of
sixty million of white people. While
in name we have several political par
ties, in fact, we have but two, the
party of the wealthy and the party of
the great common people. Let the
party of the people of Sumner county
and of the great state of Kansas do
their whole duty from now on until
the night of the Sth day of November
next, and we believe victory will be
ours. Yours truly in the grand re-
form movement,
JOHN HINCHCLIFFE,
County Chairman.
