TIE nomination of William A. Harris
an ex-rebcl colonel, by the peoples party
is au insult to the loyal hearts of Kansas.
Mr.. Harris entered the rebel army a
private, and earned colonelcy by killing
the comrades of the Grand Army, the
soldiers of Sherman; your friends and
mine. He was promoted for the ardor
and vigilance he displayed in assisting to
destroy that million of freemen who laid
down their lives to prevent this man
commands, from destroying your home
and the homes Of your fathers.
This man Harris was on the staff oil
General Lee during the last year OF the
great struggle, because OF his ability fol
providing ways and means for destroying
millions upon millions of the treasure
and property belonging to the loyal
citizens of this nation, and for comoell-
ing the government to pile higher and
higher the Indebtedness incurred by the
war.
This man Harris fought to enslave the
laboring men. and to compel the free
white labor OF the north to compete with
the slave labor of the South.
This man Harris fired upon and sought
to destroy the best and most humane
government the world ever knew, and
sought to establish in its place monar-
chy, headed by set Of scheming poll
clans, the worst the world has ever
known.
And this man, a man who has violated
every tie and forfeited every right OF
citizenship. the peoples party desire shall
represent Kansas in congress; to make
our laws; to rule over us.
Christianity aud humanity demand that
we give this sinner a chance to reform,
and be one OF us as our equal, bnt every
thing reasonable teaches that We have no
right to make him our superior, our ruler.
He has violated his loyalty to us once,
how lightly must his oath of Office rest
upon him, should he be elected. What
guaranty have we that he will not again
attack our interests il he thinks bis own
interests will be advanced by so doing.
You say he was acting under a
mistaken sense OF duty in '63. Yes, and
how terribly mistaken he was. And
what guaranty have we that, If placed in
power. he will not again seat himself mp
on a mistaken idea and ride both himself
and ms to Observation-Disclosures DARK
Horse.

The nomination of four rebel soldiers
for Congress by the Alliance party in
Kansas is enough to make old John
Brown turn over in his grave, and cause
Jim Lane to come forth with the COM
mand, forward to victory, which it will do
this fall for the Republican party at the
polls, as we believe that the people of our
great state have had enough of foolish
ness, and will help the party that has made
Kansas what she is to-day, and will lead
her on to be the first state in this great
federation of states.-GoDe County Echo.

So far as relates to county politics, we
hope the matter will be held in allegiance
for some time. The delegates to
the several conventions have been Sc
lected and there is no advantage to be
gained by either party, that We can see,
in having long campaign. 1t is too hot
and nearly everybody will be very busy,
If, however, the people think otherwise
we will be satisfied.

THE peoples party has nominated TO.
ongressman-at large, w. A. Harris, an ex-
confederate soldier. Should he be elected
he will possibly wear himself out trying
to get pensions through for the fellows he
shot at during the late struggle. 1t is
possible he might do so, but it is not a
very good thing to bank on. Neither
will it be very safe to bank on the support
he will get from the old soldiers in the

man at large because he was an officer in

that he would not have been nominated
had he not been an ex-rebel. There is

FRANK McGRATH, of Beloit, president
of the farmers alliance in Kansas in 1890
and who was one of the most active men,
beers of the organization in the state has
withdrawn from the peoples party. We
publish the following letter explanatory
of his action:
BELo1T, Kan, June 81. 1892.
DIR. C. q. GUIBoR, Topeka. Kansas.
DEAR SIR: Your favor of the 18th
inst. is before me, and in reply desire to
place myself right by saying that the
farmers alliance as first organized was
capable OF great good to the farmers.
That organization is beneficial to other
callings and professions none will deny
and the same is equally true OF farming.
If the alliance had adhered to its original
non-partisan purposes and worked along
the line of the alliance motto, ''equal
rights to all, special privileges to none"
and remembered unity in all things
essential to our calling, would to-day
be as strong an advocate OF the organiza-
ton as 1 was in the beginning. The
truth is that the peoples party has alb
sorbed the alliance and nullified its use
fitness. The evidences are numerous in
the conventions held this year that the
middleman, jackleg lawyers and town
loafers are more influential in directing
and controlling the peoples party than
farmers. The success of the democratic
party seems to have become necessary
with many leading peoples party leaders
and to secure the defeat of the republican
party these leaders in the peoples party
and the democratic party are ready to lay
aside their principles and by fusion
secure the Offices. The tricksters and
political manipulators made up from both
peoples party and democratic party had
possession of the Wichita convention and
in the name of reform made a ticket to
suit both parties.
As to the nomination of the Exon.
federate Col. Harris can only say that
while honor him as man and believe
he has more ability and real principle
than the whole state ticket nominated by
that convention, at the same time I do
not believe the people of Kansas are
prepared to elevate an ex-confederate in
preference to an ex-union soldier of equal
ability. Col. Harris is an honorable man
of high character but the nomination was
more to conciliate and secure democratic
votes than it was to represent the peo-
pies party, unless, perhaps, it might
