t.t.ft. 8oekless Simpson, the soorates of the sand banks of sin, art "Maldisonloge" got tbs socks completely peled oft in a joint disousslon with John W. Jones of Hutohson, in Wlohlta, few days ago. Every liek that Jones struok bis sham less and Ignorant competitor found a ready eeho In Railroad mens hearts, because It was that much towards stopping any further reduction of their pay by the foolishness of Alliance legislation OXIN OB 8TKA.M, WHICH!

Vole for your homes nud firesides; do uoi kt dwell, fraud, corruption and broken promises ihicelveyou. The boys all say ruts when the calamity howler says his party is the friend to tbs laboring man. Geo. Coffiunn Is the man that stated to the alliance convention that nominated him that ho hnd forever renounced his ALLIAXC8.

OR BUSINESS, WHICHf Alliance principles and bdslnoa will not work together. Tho one or the other must die. Which shall It' tie? As alliance goes up business' goos down; and whenever business' igoes down whother by the effect of tho foolishness of allianoe legislation or otherwise, the laborer is the first to feel the shook. When alliance legislation large re-duoo the earnings of the Railroads, the sfftoois and bonp holders and jinort-gngesoftho Road do not feel It so quickly as the seotlon hands ac train won. The Mortgagees will his interest in feu-o raster rmay come, for ItL In I and the offleer will ti-f his sLUj ty the year cr term of So that all allialNt legislation deterlniental to the interests of Rail Rroads, starts first at the laborer and is it possible that these ignore-misses that are runlng the allianoe party and destroying labor, and business that makes the pay of labor, are so demure ly Ignorant as to suppose tho railroad men do not see this? The railroad men are tho brightest of all business meu in this county, and their votes at the coming election will show that they appreciate this question.

But Railroad men may rest in peace, for from this time on allianco will go down and business will Koup. If you want to see prosperity entile upon our country and state, vote the ty is totally unfit to control Anything. They don't advocate a single principle that we, as democrats, cuu endorse. Here In this county thoy hnvo virtually robbed us of a ticket. This robbery has been manipulated by men who claim to bu Democrats, but who have snerl-ffced every political principle, they hnvo sold out the democrtitlo party of Neosho county.

Thorn are just four men who worked tho scheme and three of thum live at Chaiiute, and it is wholly unnecessary' for me to mention tholr names ns every democrat knows who they are. I am not prepared to say that these Judases received their thirty pieces of silver for betraying the party, The socallei Demouratlo convention was not a democratic convention as we all know. It was controlled wholly People's party meu. Some of the delegates had also been delegates la the People's party convention whioh'iuetu few weeks before, and two of the members of the People's party central committee were made members of the Democratic central committee also. Everything was laid to endorse the People's party ticket and last Friday lhis was done.

Now they havo a people's party ticket endorsed by another People's parly committee sailing under the guise of democracy, and on election day we will be presented with a People's party ticket headed Democratic. Democrats, will we tjhrow aside all sense of honor, manhood and political principle, and swallow this thing? Ex- Gov. Gllck Hon. John A. Eaton, Hon.

A. A. Harris Col. Tomlinson, Ex- Gov. Robinson and other leading democrats of the state are solidly with me when I say we will not.

They may carry the riff-raff of the party who follow blindly, but they will not get the thinking democrats who have some self respect and who have the interest of themselves their families and their party at heart. Four- republican ticket. Neodesha, Kaksa, October 27, 1891. Whereas, Reliable information has reached us that one, Hugh Farrelly, in a recent speech at Char ute, called in question the standing, character, and truthfulness and veracity of our brother employe, friend, and fellow citizen, C. C.

Crouse, asserting that he was not a representative railroad employe, and that his Therefore, We, the undersigned, railway employes, business men, and citizens of Neodesha, denounce such statements as false and malicious, being without foundation or truthfulness. We therefore assert and certify that vre have all confidence in Mr. Crouse's business integrity, veracity, and good citizenship; that he is an experienced and skillful locomotive engineer; being ArE. of Division The banker, money loiuicr, bond holder, and noto shaver, who got rich at loanlag money ut 3 per cent, a month, is out with circular containing a bundle of misrepresentations und Hat false statements against C. Crouse.

Elder quoted the following facts hs stated by Mr. Crouse: "They killed our bill to prevent R.R. oompanys from compelling employes from going to Montreal to get bonds, and pay for the security." Every Intelligent man who followed the course of the legislature lust winter knows that the alliance house was dead set against the passage of any bill that would benefit In any manner R. R. employes.

They even told tho committee of R. R. men, "We have better men working on our farms for their board than you are, and 930 a mouth 1s wages enough for any rnilroador." "They killed our bill requiring that operators should be eighteen years old and have one years experience, etc." This elder denies In his comments but the railroad boys know tho facts in this case are just as Mr. Crouse states them to be. "They killed our bill which provided for a board of arbitration to settle dispute's between employers and employ-eyes." Elder makes a lame excuse for this, but the R.

R. boys will not excuse the party that did it. "They killed our bill which imposed a heavy fine on railway companies for retaining in their employ any conduc-toor, engineer, agent, eperator or train dispatcher who was in the habit of getting drunk." Elder don't offer eyen a poor excuse for this. In fact all his comments are so very thin and disgusting that the R. R.

boys at Ottawa have coino out en masse and are working to down the calamity ticket and this is why this circular is sent out broadcast form the Calamity headquarters in a vnin effort to correct the damage Crouse is doing by exposing their rotten tricks and false representations. This Elder circular is directed to R. R. employes, and laborers, and is an insult to every man that receives one. Look out for it.

IT 10 A rilAVlJ. The peoples party claims to be oppos ed to monopoly, yet it is the only partj in the history of the country whom leading principle is the creation of the most gigantic trusts and combines. It claims to be a friend of labor and at the same time it is the only party that has, through its legislature, endeavored to pass laws in direct opposition to the wage earneas interests. It claims to be the "people's party" and yetitischiefiy made up of dead beat politicians and the disgruntled element from the other old parties and is in no sense a peoples party. It claims to be patriotic and yet in its ranks are found the socialists, anarchists and the lawless repudlators of honest obligations.

It claims to be a farmers movement when in fact it is a southern movement to thus get in possession of tne country. It claims to be a friend of the wage earner when in fact by its agitation and expressed purposes It hasdrlvou capital out of the state, created distrust, stop ped public and private improvements and locked capital up in its strong box. It claims to be opposed to class legisla Hon, when in fact il is built up on the opposite. All Its financial schemes its warehouses and sub-treasury and mon ey loaning schemes are claws legislation of the strictest sense. Finally it professed to be a party of reform." Reform of what? Not morals judging from the men it puts up for office.

Not in political methods for it is guilty of all the low, contemptible trick ery ever resorted to by any party. Not in measures tlmt are beneficial to the masses of the people. Not on II nance because their crazy scheiuuH would ruin any country. Their reform Is a fraud like the men that boast of It. Stratton skunk U.

Now that we're scattered the flowers of May, Over the graves of the blue and the gray, Ovor the graves where the women weep, Over the graves where the heroei eleep, Now let ua turn to the graves of thoee Who have lived tnd died In their over oiothoi.

Editor Republican Rooord. Owing to the force of circumstances 1 am under the necessity of doing: something to-dav Unit I never expected to do, thut is to Rslt Republican paper to five space to a communication from me expressing my views as a democrat. I have been a democrat nil my life and have had the honor of voting the straight democratic ticket twenty-eight times.

Last fall I voted the fusion ticket. I did it because I thought there was some democrats on the ticket and because I wanted to down the republicans. And I believe there are many other democrats in just tiie same fix. But I can see nop what a fool I made of myself. No sooner had we boosted these demagogues into ofHco then they went right back on us and in word and action told ns to go to the devil.

Those on the ticket who we thought were democrats turned out to be rabid calamity howlers, and they have ever since done everything in their power to tear down and ruin the good name and credit of Kansas and her people. Think of it fellow demo-crats. the men whom we, the democrats of Kansas, elected to office have for the past year paraded the Union and with their foul slanderous mouths have done everything in their power to ruih the state which we, regardless of politics, should do all in our power to cause to shine forth in her true glory as the brightest of the forty-four stars which adore our beloved flag to-day. Look -si the men who are leading the People's party, they are men who no aine haB any confidence in, can we as democrats lend them our ballots to foist up-on us their damnable sub-treasury, land loan and railroad schemes, which would certain ruin to any government on the face of the globe? As soon as they we. elected they repudiated us and they boast at they have killed the dem'ptl0' Party 8 Kansas that it never revive.

Now let us repudiate tlN" ffltley of hungry office seektW nd let them know that there area' few democrats left, enough to beat them at least. Look at the People's par 'ty Ills composed in most part of sore headed democrats and republicans who have been kicked out ef their old parties, of soured democrats and republicans, ol cron-1c office seekers, of old Union Labor and Greenback cranks, of malowten tants, and it embraces in its rank the anarchists, the socialists, the inildel and all of the lower and viler class es, It is a convenient receptacle for the oil scabs and refuse of all other parties. Can we, as democrats, have any confidence in such a I say with Col Harris that as bad as I hate the republican party I would rather see it in control of the government for a thousand years than to see this ungodly gang got hold of the reins of tho government for one brief hour.

Under the heBd of the fBlade attempts to slur Mr. Stratton, Who speaks at Music Hall tonight, all because Stratton had the manhood to stand up for principle, and refused to sell his birthright for a mess of pottage. THE COST OF REFORM.

The following ara the sums appropri ated by the last three legislatures: 1887 8.1,1 S0.7S6 68 1889 It 1801 8.071,098 81 It will be remembered that in 1887, $348,206.02, was appropriated to the State House, in 1889, $441,775.11, while in 1801 only $100,000 were appropriated. The Blade is considerably exercised about a public official, Mr. JTitchell, who is working against the alliance, and attempts to exuuse the public offle laja of Neosho county, who have talked calamity at every school house in the county where they could get an audience. It makes a difference whoso ox it Tho people's wing of the democratic party have tried to hoist the democratic rooster at Jh head of the alliance ticket, and the rooster has refused te Sap, murfc low In trow. allcgeance to the democratic party.

We havo better men than you are working for their board in our county. Just what the railroad employee is to deposit when he wants to make a run on the siihtrcusury plan is a connumdrum we would like for sockless Simpson to tackle.

Poor Hughl Like the leaders of blind party, sott soup won't savo you. You are in tho pi Boys, beware the wolf in clothing. You will see tickets headed, Democrutic Ticket, but tho same old wolf will be prowling underneath. There are only two tickets In the Held, calamity and null-calamity.

I have known C. C. Crouse for seven years and know thut his statements are true, hn not lied. It is theotier fellows. He wus our trusted representa tive, iitul we propose to stand by hti report.

John Wane earners let us stand together; we have a greet corporations to fight. These corporations backed by an alliance peo ple's purty house killed our bills, lost winter.

We were prompted by curiosity to attend the calamity meeting of isett and farrelly on Monday night, more to see the delegation of railroad men who invited the speakers than anything else. We left- the iiiciitini; sutisHuil that thu delegation was small, or from some cause It did not alt, -lul.

Mitchell neve! went back on his party to get an olllco but gained il by trull merit. Farrelly got his because calamity had no one else to run. If Far- rully would put in his time ns faithfully studying law as he does iu calumity poli tics thfc county would probably not have to much cos's for his blunders.

Do not fall to hear Stratton nt Music Hull tonight. fifths of the democratic primaries with a gang of calamityltes, tho greater part of whom never voted a democratic ticket anil never intended too They, have made a bold attempt tojforoe us to support their candidates but will we do it? That is the question for you and I to decide and may we give it deep thought before we conclude 'to support this hungry horde' the individual members of which boast that they have Killed our party Now fellow democrats we have no ticket. When you go to the polls you will be confronted with a People's par ty ticket headed Democratic, but it is not our ticket.

I never expected to see the day when the democratic ticket would be desecrated by the names of such soruheuded office seeking political outcasts and deserters as will appear upon that ticket on nef Tuesday. They have attempted to swallow us up and compel us to vote for them, but may God send his worsts curses upon me if I ever do such a thing. Tho republicans have a ticket in this county of moil who are well known from their long residence in the county. I will say plmly that tho men upon that ticket are so satisfactory to mo that I intend to vote for everyone of them. This is a thing that I never did before and I hope that I never will be obliged to do it again.

But I think I am justified and every other democrat is justified this time in voting to re buke the men who have sold iui out and the calamity party which has bien a worse cui'so to Kansas and her citizens than all of tiio droughts, chintz bugs and grasshoppers combined, and which will utterly destroy the Democratic party in this state if it is not nipped in the bud. A Democratic Farmer. WHY D1I THEY DO lTf Why did your part of the legislature fool away $51,000 of the people's money in useless investigations and junketing trips', notably, tho Botkin impeachment the ColTeyville explosion nud numerous smelling committees that were sent out at the expense of the state. Why did the Alliancr House of Rep resentatlves refuse to puss a stay law, after it had passed the sen ate? Why did the Alliance House of Rep1 resentatlves refuse to pass the senate bill reducing the fees of state printer $50,000. Why did the Alliance House of Rep presentatlves last winter refuse to pass the senate bill reducing fees and salar les of county officers? Why does your party still keep Mrs.

Lease in the field preaching anarchy, socialism and the repudiation of debts? The people's party claims to be the Only party in the country in favor of tho la boring man. But look at these facts, NoA one of Its lenders ever was a labor ing inan and every law that they at tempted to pass lust winter was in op' positioir to the working man's interest.
