OUR PLATFORM. Adopted by the Colbt Cokvbktio. We. the Republicans of the Sixth congressional district, in convention assembled, renew our allegiance to the national Republican party of patriotism and progress; the country is to be congratulated upon the return of the Republican party to complete power, represented by the control of the executive and both branches of congress, a power which will be exercised in a manner to best conserve the interests of all the people and reflect the permanent public opinion of the eountry; the guide which Lincoln followed and which constitutes at onee the hope and basis of free institutions. Therefore, we present the following declaration of principles and pledge our hearty support to the same: The business necessities of the country imperatively demand a large permanent increase of the volumn of currency.

This additional circulating medium should be obtained by the free coinage of silver, as well as the immediate circulation of those large amounts now unnecessarily held in the treasury reserve funds, and by substituting the issue of treasury notes as the national bank notes are returned. demand that congress shall pass such laws as shall effectually prevent every combination of individuals or corporations that is formed to control the supply of agricural and industrial productions, or the dealing in the future in. such agricultural and mechanical productions, making the violation thereof a felony, passing such stringent procedure in trials as shall secure prompt conviction. We demand that congress shall make further necessary appropriation to secure permanent harbors of deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico, and that the wharfage shall be subjected to gtriet governmental eon-It is the bounden duty of the government to impart discharge the obligation it owes to its heroic defenders in the time of extreme peril, and we demand the passage of the Ingalls per diem service pension bill, and to this end, while we favor a fair and equitable adjustment of tariff duties and demand the same protection to agricultural production that is now or There has been a great deal said about the strength of the Alliance in the south.

Lowell Democratic ticket for Congressman We are in favor of the election by the people of the state of United States senators and the members of the board of railroad commissioners, and such changes in the law as will clothe said commissioners with power to protect the interests of the producers and shippers. We have confidence that our national and state Republican administrations will urge and support all those measures that are calculated to elevate labor, control dangerous combinations of capital and corporate power, protect home industries, encouraging agricultural and industrial productions, do justice to all the reasonable demands of the old soldiers, and conduct the national and state governments in the interests of integrity, economy and strict enforcement of all the laws therof. Resolved, That congress be requested to prohibit the transportation of intoxicating liquors from any other state or territory of the United States or the District of Columbia into any other state or territory for sale, contrary to and in violation of the laws thereof.

Resolved, That Governor L. O. HUMPHREY and his state officers have given to the people of the state, an able, pure and impartial administration of its affairs during their present term, and they are entitled to our thanks for their devotion to duty and to a continuation of our confidence for the time usually extended to meritorious state officers. Resolved, That we consider it inexpedient to call a special session of the legislature, in view of the expense attendant thereon and the near approach of the time for the convening of the third district in South Corlina, It seems strange that some peoph will be so takeu in. 4 Medicine 3 3 4 Northampton 3 3 3 Paradise 4 4 4 riainville 9 9 4 Richland 3 3 3 Rush 2 2 3 Stockton 13 13 3 Sugar Loaf 3 3 3 Twin Mound 3 3 3 Walton 4 4 Ash Hock 4 Belmont 4 liow Creek 3 Corning 4 Karmiiigton 4 (iree field 3 Hobart 3 Iowa 3 Ixigan 3 Lanark 3 TO REPUBLICAN ALLIANCE MEN "I confess with shame and hu E.

Hon. Wm Baker, in his speech at Downs on July 25. The Alton Empire thinks these are pretty hard times to compel a small town like Stockton to support three papers. That may be all true so far as the hard times are concerned, but the Republicans of this county are willing to support a' paper that has the nerve and backbone to declare Republican principles, and this we propose to do regardless of all circumstances.

PROHIBITION A SIDE ISSUE. Resolved, That we favor a careful revision of the tariff, placing sugar on the free list with a bounty of two cents a pound on the home product, and a protection by tariff of all farm products that are brought into competition with foreign articles of like kind. Resolved, That we demand that the government shall control the means of communication and transportation to the extent of insuring their operation in the interest of the people, with due regard for the rights of those owning and operating the same. Resolved, That we demand that the congress of the United States use all efforts to establish reciprocal trade relations with our sister republics of Mexico and tne South American states. Resolycfl, That we demand the forfeiture to the government of all lands held by railroad companies under a grant from the general government, when the terms of the government have not been complied with by the railway corporations.

Resolved, That we demand such legislation as will effectually prohibit the alien ownership of land, and that congress will take earley steps to devise some plan to obtain all land owned by non-resident aliens and foreign syndicates, and that all lands now held by railroads in excess of such as are actually used by them, be reclaimed by the government, to be held for actual settlers. Resolved, That we believe the time has come when the price of government lands should be reduced to if 1.25 per acre, and we should recommend our senators and representatives in congress to do everything in their power to bring about the result.

When a man re- fuses to support the Republican nominee for congress he ought riot to receive a federal appointment nor hold one if he has been so appointed, under a Republican administration. Especially when he was a delegate and sat through the entire proceedings without offering a single kick.

To do so might hinder the accomplishment of the greater or main issue. Will you pledge yourself, should you be elected to congress, to vote for a bill to give to the state the power to regulate the importation and sale of intoxicating liquors within their own borders? To do so would be contrary to instructions and I will not state my position on an outside issue.

The point appears to be that Baker is a farmers alliance candidate to do farmers alliance work and confine himself to alliance issues. There are other people to be represented, however, and other questions in which Kansas is interested. Mr. Baker is evidently, a man with one idea, which has been pounded into him by the alliance, and apart from that he knows nothing and cares less. Such a congressman would make Kansans blush every time they went to Washington.

Old Man Rice, the old barnacle who was after the appointment of internal revenue collector for Kansas, and had his agents circulating pertitions all over the state telling Mr. Ingalls and Plumb what a nice man he was and wThat an enormous amount of good he could do for their honors in the way of re-elections, has announced himself as a candidate for representative against his son, who is the regular Republican nominee for that county. Rice, makes some strange statements on the stump and, through his valuable paper, the Fort Scott Monitor, in regards to Senator Ingalls and the tariff. The old ruan will find out that the boy will make the race and get to cast his vote in favor of our next senator, John J. Ingalls.

It is needless to say that Rice is not the revenue collector for Kansas, W. II. Hoyt at the Walnut Hill farm is feeding of hogs. He says that he can obtain nearly one fourth better results by soaking the corn than by feeding it dry. The ladies of the Congregational church will give a washer-womans social at the residence of M.

M. Smith, on Friday August the loth. This is a novel affair and should be well attended. The Alliance congressional committee for this district met at Colby one week ago last Saturday to lay the plans' for the campaign. Mr.

Baker being the district lecturer resigned, and the place was filled by the appointment of a Mr. Smith, of Phillips county, with our C. P. Judd as first assistant lecturer. They decided to make a vigorous campaign and placed several speakers in the field.

We give the list as far as have been able to learn: Hon. A. B. Montgomery, Charley Moody, C. P.

Judd and district lecturer Smith. These gentlemen have been before the people for years and need no introduction.

Webb McNall is one of the best known men in the State of Kansas; has lived here in this county nearly twenty years, being one of the first homesteaders here, and is well acquainted with the wants of the people of the Sixth district as any man in it. He is there the depot on his way to the peoples' convention: "Ben, you might just as well not send that paper out." Thanks. fore the best man to send to Congress. Smith Center Bulletin. In the Atchison Champion's report of Wm.

Baker speech at Downs, we find the following: "After he left the platform he was called back and requeste to define his position on the pension buisness. He said we could be generous. He was also asked to define his position on prohibition. This he declined to do, saying that it was a side issue. He failed to define his position upon the question of tariff." John, this reminds us of the time when you were organizing Sub-Alliances through the county.

And we told the farmers that "they might better keep their money than pay it to you for organizing political Alliances." Mr. Greible was paid nearly $100.00 Rain Statistics. The rainfall for One of the most amusing things of to-day, politically, is the panic among the editors who were appointed to post offices by E. J. Turner.

When the Republican convention was concluded, and Webb McNall nominatad, the disappointment was so great to these fellows that they nearly all went off half-cocked joinning in with the Democrats and Union Labor parties and commenced making a political party out of the Alliance. This move began to look successful to them at once, and they put their shoulders to the wheel to bolt the Republican ticket, thinking perhaps, that if they could elect Mr. Baker to congress this fall, secure the nomination and election of Mr. Turner in 92, that their post office iobs would be almost perpetual. Now that they have their second vision, they realize that this is for this work, and what benefit has it been to the farmer? It is said, by many who witnessed the Alliance procession at the Downs celebration, that it was a disgrace to any community that cares any thing for p.
