ing from start to finish and the orators OF
the day got in their usual long winded
orations upon any and all provocations
The convention passed off with what the
Alliance calls the greatest of harmony and
good feeling. The cooperative people came
out on top despite the efforts of a goodly
number of keep in the middle-of-the
road" delegates and the cooperation en-
braces the Offices of state senator, county
attorney and the members OF the state
iegisture and commissioner.

Lewelling, the chairman of the county
central committee, called the convention

object of the meeting. He said it was the
most important convention that had ever
assembled in Sedgwick county, and he
sincerely hoped that the delegates as
sembled would make no mistake in their
deliberations.
Colonel H. L. Taylor and l. p. Campbell
were placed in nomination for temporary

agreed with Mr.. Lewelling that this was
the most important convention that ever
assembled in Sedgwick county. He made

condition must be met and met heroic
ally" He thought by using good judg-
ment and in cooperation ticket would
be named that would forever sweep from
the face of the earth the Republican party.
He did not care whether the ticket was all
Democratic or all Alliance it would be bet
ter than Republican ticket for no good
could ever come out of the Republican
party. Mr.. Campbell then proceeded to
give the reasons for his leaving the Re-
publican party, among the chief of which
was the Capitalization of the money power
which did not give to labor its
just reward In few words the speaker
paid his respects to the railroads, the
freight associations and said no Republic
can legislator, be lie farmer or lawyer ever
sat in legislative hall that was not con-
trolled in his voting by the railway cor
porations. We are entering, said he, upon
big fight and if we expect to win we must
set aside our individual ideas and by CO.
operation name a ticket that will carry the
state for the Peoples party and elect our
candidate for governor by 50, 900 majority.
He had no doubt he said, of its being done
in November.

people to pay tribute for the use of |
something that was rlghtfully theirs. IN .

quilt the railroads aud handed them over
20 corporations and now they had TO pay
ribute Tor the privilege OF using them.
