This can be the result without resort to
tickery or evasion of the law. The plan
a to have each man return to the johnson
nunty court and plead not guilty to the
murder of Champion. The prosecution
cannot ask a change of venue and the de-
knss will not. In getting the jury the
psisoners are entitled to twelve perempt-
tory challenges each, or $50 in all. Many
taesmen will, of course, be rejected for
canse. None of the 900 men who fought
the invaders at the T. A. ranch are eligible
y Jurors. At the last general election
Johnson county cast few more than 800
votes, and has less now. Of this total $50
votes were cast by women. These figures
lase the criminals without dozen peers.
The lawyers agree that all would be DIS
charged. This has happened in Pennsyl-
yania. Kansas and California.

Mr.. EDIToR:-At the annual meeting
of the Republic County Alliance, held
in Belleville, Kansas, the following
resolutions were adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t has pleased God to call
from us our beloved brother and Presi-
de mt, L. L. Polk, and co-worker in the
betterment of mankind, we wish to re
cord our sympathy for his family and
labor in general. Be it
ReSOZUed, That the nation has lost a
statesman and the masses a tried and
true friend,
3. That we bow to the will Of Provi-
dence, but we still believe bis works
will live until in the United States the
laws shall proclaim equal rights to al
and special privileges to none.
3.-That a copy of these resolutions
be spread on the minutes of the County
Alliance and given the Freeman, AdUO-
cote, THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER and
the C0urHGnd Register for publication.

ETR. EDIIOE.-2lC OF tho moss c.
thusilstIc Alliance meetings ever hgI3
in this county convened 10 Rocky
Ridge. \ lar-a crowd was urgSanr,
b. II IF ladies ana gentlemen. After
an Alliance session IL The morning q
public speaking was nei4. Mr.. j. II
Bradford was elected chairman and
Mr.. w. W. Robinson, secretary. The
speakers were MessrS. &. :. Sapp and
G. Ell. Kestler. MIR. S1pp made an
excellent speech and won for himself
many laurels. Of course It would be
quite egotistiC for me to comment upon
my own efforts.
After the speeches one Of the best
dinners imaginable a waited the crowd
and every enjoyed it highly.
The evening was consumed mostly
in an Alliance session; but after this a
political experience meeting was held
that was the Iiveliest and most enthu-
siastic occasion l ever witnessed. They
almost universally stood with both feet
upon the Omaha platform and swore
allegiance to the banner carried by q
Weaver and Field. A whoop and a
hurrah greeted every mention Of
Weaver, Field and Omaha. Good.
honest farmers, not used to eloquent
appeals, took the wings Of reason and
elOquence and spoke in unmeasured
terms of the cause they hold dear as
life. 1t was worth something to see
them, spured on by the justice of their
cause, speak such words of wisdom.
A Cleveland man was present and
when he spoke his sentiments all were
as solemn as a tombstone and no one
smiled a smile of cheer. Time will not
permit me to mention all the able talks
made in indOrsing the Third party plat
form and nominees. Mr.. Jesse Earn
hard, in his own peculiar, fascinating
style, made q very interesting talk.
Messrs. @. Mcdonald, J. A. Sims, G.
E. Richie, Watt Barringer, Rev. j. G.
Anderson, and in fact almost every
one present had a good word for the
reform movement. And you can put
Cabarrus down as solid almost for a
Third party nationally and partly so
in regard to the State and county
tickets. There was a slight division
as to their attitude towards the State
politics. Some favored an allegiance
to the Democratic ticket nominated at
Raleigh, while others first, last and
forever favored a Third party IN the
county, State and Nation.
Resolutions were passed to hold a
citizens county meeting in the court
house in Concord on the 3Oth inst. to
endorse the Omaha platform and nomi-
nees. This promises to be a lively
affair, for the people are enthused over
this matter and are going to work
ardently for this just cause. Put Ca
barrus down as able and willing to
keep stride with the march of progress
and right. / for one intend to stand
fair and square upon the platform
adopted at Omaha, and not only this,

lost a noble patriot and statesman and
the people at large an earnest advocate
Of their rights and liberties.
8. That we sincerely mourn his death
and extend our heartfelt sympathies to
his bereaved family and commend them
to Him who d0eth all all things well.
4. That a copy Of these resolutions

The men who compose the Peoples
party Of Georgia are not to be bull
dOzed Or frightened out of the advo-
cacy Of their convictions regarding DO
litical issues. They have stood a good
deal already. Their homes have been
put in jeopardy, their hard earnings
stolen by the manipulation of the leg
lslatlOn Of the country, and now when
they attempt a reform by peaceful
means they are threatened with the
assassination of such of their leaders
as can not be bought.
We do not say that the Democrats
of the State generally approve of this
method of conducting the CAMPAIGN
but we do say that if the leaders of the
Democratic party choose it they can
effectually frown down all attempts at
~bulldozing, at the breaking UP Of meet
ing called by the Peoples party and
the attempted assaulting and assassi-
nation of Peoples party leaders. We
go further and say that if the leaders
do not do this they will be responsible

speakers are going to make a thorough
canvass of the State in the interest of

that If the good name of the State is to
