Tho author is Hon. J. D. Holden, Of
Kansas, who has been a loader in tho
Farmers' Alliance. The object OF tho
book is to denounco the Populist party
as now organized, and to point out the
defects in its creed. II charges that tho
alliance movement was betrayed at tho
Cincinnati convention into partisan
clique Of Office hunters.
Mr.. Holdcn claims that all steps muat
DO re.racod and that tho Alliance efforts
at reforms must be made as indie
pendent voters and not as Populists.
This. he says, is tho only thing that
will cause tho other parties to cease an
tavonizing what is good in the reform
movement. The present iHpsacticsble
