The Battle.

The political battle in Kansas this
year, for desperation and earnest
ness will take its place in history along
side the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS of Douglass
and Lincoln, or the more recent one of
Mckinley IN Ohio. 1t was a pitched
bPttle. from beginning to end. A fight
to finish. 1t was the Waterloo of the
republican party. They stood at bay,
and desperate. 1t was not the local
leaders aloue who fought. Jerry and
the peoples candidates, represented the
head and front of the peoples revolt
against the growing power and continu-
ed assumption of corporate monopoly
Kansas, leader in the battle against
slave tyranny, has stood true to her re-
cord by becoming leader in the battle
against corporate aggression and usurp-
alton. She is the centre of the union,
and the shock of the conflict here ex-
tends, as it did before, to the crcumfer-
ence on every side. Our effort is to
make this peaceful victory as the 9th
er was violent. Before, we fought for
the right of the slave to the fruits of his
own labor; now we fight for the reserva-
ton of proper share of the profits of
labor in the hands of the producer and
toiler.
The power to corporate wealth is threat
ened. The people desire to assume the
reins. The corporations realized the
vast 1mnnrtaDao Of tko otruo0Ia MN
ons were at stake, and millions could be
spared II necessary, for the struggle.
The peoples party had the advantage of
previous majOrities, the republicans the
advantage of corporate backing and
sympathy. Monied crporation against
the people was the issue. We would not
for moment assume that every repub-
llcan was wilfully favorlng a mOnied
power against the masses; but the ma
nlpulations of corporate power are dis
guised and yelled from the sight { the
rank and file. The Big Seventh vas the
centre of the struggle. Jerry Simpson
was our chosen champion, Long the
champion of our present corporate in
situations. The battle was not one be-
tween Long and Jerry merely, but be-
tween Long as the representative of the
railroads, banks, and financial and cor.
porate institutions as they at present
exist, and Jerry Simpson, as represent
ing the conviction of our people that a
change in present conditions would be
beneficial to the masses. Whichever
champion suffered defeat or won vic
tory, the credit or blame is not to him
alone but to the cause here presents as
well. Whatever love we may have for
old and existing institutions and sys-
TENS, or whatever desire fol- needed re-
forms, let us have confidence in the ul-
innate judgment and integrity of our
people.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 1.-The presi-
dent has issued his annual Thanksgiving
proclamation, as follows:
STATES OF AMERICA. A PROCLAMATION
The gifts of God to our people during
the past year have been so abundant
and so special that the spirit of devout
| thanksgiving awaits not a call, but
only the appointment of a day when it
may have common expression. He
has stayed the pestilence at our door;
He has given us more love for the free
civil institutions in the creation OF
which His directing providence was so
conspicuous; He has awakened a deep
er reverence for law; He has widened
our philanthropy by call to succor the
distress In other lands; He has blessed
our schools and is bringing forward a
patriotic and God fearing generation
to execute His great and BENEVOLENT
designs of our country; He has given
us great increase in material wealth
and in the diffusion of cOntentment
and comfort in the homes of our peo-
pie; He has given his grace to the sor-
rowing.
Wherefore, L, Benjamin Harrison,
president of the United States, do call
upon all of our people to observe, as we
have been wont, Thursday, the twenty
fourth day of this month of November,
as day of thanksgiving to God for
His mercies, and supplication for His
continued care and grace.
In testimony whereof have hereun-
to set my hand and caused the seal of
the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city of Washington, this
fourth day of November, one thousand,
eight hundred and ninety two, and of
the independence Of the United States,
the one hundred and seventeenth.

Ex-speaker Tom Reed is quoted

Ex-Speaker Tom Reed is quoted as
saying: Now that we are beaten, it
is time'to understand that it was our
candidates, not the force bill, Harrison
not Mckinley, who defeated us.n Mr..
Reed may be honest in the opinion ex-
pressed, though it is difficult to under
stand how man of his intelligence
could be so badly in error. We believe
the conservative judgment of the coun-
try will bear out the statement that
but for the respect and confidence the
country has in the honesty and capa-
biIIty of Benjamin Harrison as presi-
dent the defeat would have been worse
than it was. 1t will not do to Law the
blame on an innocent man because
forsooth he is done for, in order per.
chance, to save the guilty for a possible
future. Mcklnleyism did it, and the
author of and sponsor for that ism can

The assumption that the victory Of
one political party or another means
that the country has gone to the dogs is
absurd on the face of it. AL parties
are liable to mistakes and excesses.
The result of these mistakes and eX-
cesses Is the alienation of conservative
men. The great majority of our people
are anxious for the public welfare, as 1t
involves their own. If party policy
becomes wrong and corrupt, lease OF
power only insures a more complete
overthrow. Sometimes this overthrow
comes sooner, sometimes later. How
soon, or how late, only depends upon
the devotion OF the partizan to party
name in preference to non partiZan and
eternal principles. Let us hope that
the intelligence and reason nc the great
common masses will alwal rule. To
douht il is to doubt republicanism. To
douiN republicanism is almost treason

conservative elements will leave rs II

There is a difference Of opinion. Only

right. But at all times let the people
rule. Let us be charitable and liberal
toward our opponents whether they be
victorious or defeated.

The people are no longer satisfied
with bogus measures. We want gen

policy. We trust we will get it. But
in case we should not, the democratic
party will and ought TO meet its Water

has In 1892. Meanwhile let us all work,

Moral Ruin.

In spite of all the great hoodoo by
republican orators about the declara-
ton in the peoples party preamble that
the country was on the verge OF moral
ruin, one of their mouth pieces not a
thousand miles from here, now comes
out and says that 900 voters of the peo-
pies party will have to answer for the
lies they told. 1t stands TO reason that
th9re must be like proportion on the
other side or half as many at least.
The assertion practically makes liars
OF 400 voters in Barber county.
Think of it, fellow citizens. This out
calamities calamityites, out-does them
two to one. We claim only to be on
the verge of mola ruin; but here is a
great religious weekly that has us
down in the black depths of the bot
tomless pit.
Who believes it?
We have as true and moral a people
as any. The only man who makes all
others liars, is one guilty himself. We
believe In standing up for the people af-
ter election as we'll as before. While
immortality has reigned in high places,
the great common masses of the peo-
ole have not knowingly endorsed it.

Some papers report the election of
Marion Cannon of the 9th district of

Omaha electrified the convention by his
bitter defiance of the railroad manipu-
latOrs; and we would rejoice to hear his
defiance ringing through the halls of
congress.

contest delegate Bishop, DEM, has deem
elected IN place of O. b. CatrOn.
Geo. p. Ikirt, democrat has heen elect
