showed the attempts OF England TO coun-
teract such legislation and made a strong
appeal for American interests and Ameri-
can labor. President Harrison STANDS
squarely upon the platform OF the IA

him upon the principles enunciated and
adopted by the Republican party. as it is
the party OF the people ami III the interests

that the interests OF Wichita had been
neglected but not BY our state senator or
representative in congress. The maximum
rate freight bill was the conception OF your
Alliance legislature and not in the interests
of the greatest city in Kansas. and when
Mr. Douglass offered a substitute it was
rejected. Interstate law must regulate
the question and during the two years in
congress had Mr.. Simpson proposed a
measure or offered bill, or raised his
voice in the interest of the Seventh district.
If he had and anyone would tell him OF
such an effort he, Long, would withdraw
from the contest tonight. What
we want is the nation TO
know our wants and congress to regu-
late this question for the business inter-
He then showed up the record of Jerry
on the Cherokee strip question and proved
that he had never opened his mouth on the
subject when the bill was introduced the
4th day of June, and only when congress
was about to adjourn did he offer resolu-
ton bringing tie question up when he
(Simpson) knew no business could be en-
acted. The speaker here took the bills
introduced by Simpson and held them up
in such an absurd light that the vast
audience went wild with laughter. He
dissected the subtreasury scheme, the bill
for relief of agriculture, the land loan
scheme, etc. In discussing the SUBJ
treasury plan he wonld propose some
amendments, namely, deposit pigs and
chickens as we'll as cattle. He showed that
all should be favored alike in this scheme.
aud the plan TO furnish milk and have it
transported BY pipes to every home and
every family have a faucet, would dis
pense with the danger of being kicked to
death by some unruly brute OF cow.
These cows in deposit would have to have
some one TO take charge and do the milk
ing, and what Alliance man here would
be appointed? Some one in the audience
named a shyster lawyer, the namesake of
great navigator who steered his ark
through the flood. Who would take
charge of the government hennery aud
attend to the chickens? Some one called
out Lewelling: and thus he continued,
showing the absurdity aud absolu'e fool
ishness of such propositions until the
audience yelled with delight, aud

tomfoolery of the senseless propositions of

shall be no private ownership in land, was
and led To the speaker making
an elegant appeal to the owners OF land
and homes as TO the effect OF such doc
triue; yet Simpson who wanted to 60 back

this doctrine The speaker then showed
that the Seventh district and Kansas had
been villifed, disgraced and had suffered
by false Misrepresentation in the halls of
If the people of Wichita and
the Seventh district would send him to
years he would assure them he
would better represent the district
than Jerry Simpson had done. lie would
not Iuisrepresent the country and the peo-
pie OF the district. He would at least raise
his voice in the Interest OF his district and
the b nor Of her people. What has Simp-
son and PETER done for Kansas? Here he
showed the opinion OF eastern men as to
the condition OF Kansas from the sayings
of this representative in congress. The
speaker then said Simpson called him,
Long a half lawyer. Well, said the
speaker, do not claim TO be good half
lawyer. ItreQuires talent and labor aud
experience and brains TO be successful
half lawyer. Simpson called him a boy.
Well, he was young aud had grown up
since the war, and never had exper
fence in the great battles fought in
Illinois between Chicago and Cairo, aud
had not served ninety days in that state.
He said, lam not soldier or the son Of a
