the consideration of congress. The
rest have been cast aside as so much
useless lumber, and have found their
proper resting place in the congression-
al junk-ShOp. The whole outfit might
just as well have Staid at home for any
impression they have been able to make
on congress or its legislation, or any
good they have done the state which
they make such a sorry farce of repre-
Senting.-MonitOr.
Again we are compelled to remind
the Monitor that he has stepped out of
the path of rectitude and fallen below
the dignity of an editor, when he hurlS
at the Alliance and Peoples party
members of congress the wholesale
mess of low sniveling abuse found in
the Monitor of the 18th. But this is
only sample of the manner in which
the coming campaign is to be run by
his party. That the readers of the
VOICE may see in what light we are
viewed by the Republican press we re-
produce his editorial in the hope that
it may serve to stir greater degree of
enthusiasm than ever before in the
peoples cause. Here is a fair sample
of e. 0. ?. editorship. That thu present
congress has paid no attention what
ever to any of the demands or wishes
of the people and have treated with
utter contempt the Alliance and Peo-
pies party representative no man
OF common sense will deny. But this
does not Justify the Monitors contempt
uouS abuse of these members, it only
shows the vicious character of the tao
tics to be used by the e. 0. P. leaders
and press in the coming campaign. 1t
has been the practice of the U S con-
gress for years to utterly ignore the
demands of the peOple-we mean the
great wealth-prOducing element of the
country, and in their stead to 90 on
spending almost the entire time in leg.
islating in the interest of the gold bug
the banker, the trust and combine.
But the day of retribution is at hand
The handwriting is on the wall, and in
future these men who have seen fit tC
so contemptuouSly treat the Peoples
representatives and disregard the ap.
peal of the people for redress of wrongs
will have the pleasure of staying al
home, and a few more of these 'ignor
ant haySeeds' as they are called, sent
up to the Capital by the people to leg
islate for them. The present congress
has signed its own death warrant
The hand of an Omnipotent God is in
this mighty upriSe of the people anG
no human power can stop its mighty
sweep notwithstanding the great wis.

which moves the Kansas CITY JOur,i1
to remark, that the Republican part,
has already gone into history and ha;
been in history for nearly a quarter O.
a century. When the Republican part
quits making history Senator Peffel
will be naught but the faint odor of
hoary and hairy "reminiscences Monitor
Yes the Republican party has gon,
