' EoiTua Advocate: At a regular meetiig of Atlanta Allance No. 00, held on October Cth, the sifters unantmonaly ." endorsed the resolutions adoptej by the sisters of Verdlgrlii Alliance No. Montgomery county, Kansas. Lkna Kami, Secretary. Tomianoxik, Kan., September 24. Editoii Advocate: At Friendship Valley sub alliance laat evening wo hai up for dinaitffilon the subject of papers unfriendly to our cautje and injurious to those of our alliance members who are subscribers to some of thews unfriendly papers, and members who do not support reform and alliance papers. A vote wan taken after a discussion on the subject, and the meoting decldod to load our oven gunfl an far as possible. I then took the names of four new subscribers to TriK Advocate. K. D. Keck. From Morrlii County. CouNcrr, (Jkdvk, October 4. Editou Advooatk: Permit mo to Bay that the alliance rally held at Council Grove onTuwday waa a gntnd success Nearly four thousand people were pres ent. Mth. Fannie MoCormlck, S. M. Scott and John 0. Otis made speeches In the afternoou. Judge Miller Bpoko In the evening. The alliances wore all ropre Bented and the procession wan large. The WilHoy, Dunlap and Council Grove bands were present and furnished excellent music. G. W. Collin, Jr., editor of the Wlloey IluUttln, was present. He was formerly secretary of tho republican cen tral committee, but hna taken the stump for the people's party and has made his paper a great means of help. Tho ticket In this county la a good one and will be elected In spite of Morris county being tho weakest alliance county In the Btate. S. M. Pad got t, of .the Dunlap Courier, Is also doing gol work for the allianco cause. We are on top In Morris county and Intend to stay there. Faiimkii. Vliith, Kan., October 0, 1890. Editou Advocate: As C. A. Henrle stands condemned aa being Implicated in the ColToyvdle dynamlto plot, I will say It is uot the first criminal offence he has committed. He waa rained In Pot tawatomie county and when a young man waa promised one hundred dollars If he would burn a house bo the owner would get the Insurance. The house was burned, but the Insurance company obtained the above facta and did not pay. But In carrying gooda out of said blouse, Mr. Henrie "kidnapped" a trunk which contained valuable jewolry and started for Missouri, but waa arrested at Atchison by the Bhoriff and brought back with tho stolen goods, and Mr. Henrie think ing an "honest confession waa good for the Bool," turnod state's evidence on the fallow who owned the house that waa turned. I appeal td the voters of Kansas; do you want to vote with a party whose gov ernor will cause to bo appointed such a man to an ofilco? Do you feel safe with suc'oi a man to handle tho records of our Btscts -a man who the oourt record shows was guilty by Ma own confession? And I further Bay, knowing Mr. Ileoria as I do, Governor Humphrey dare not de mand, hia reulgnation, as he Is just the follow that would give the CoffeyvlUe buijineea away. ItEFonMttn. A Grand 8 nodosa. Corinth, Kan., October 2. Editor Advocate: Again the country people enma out on mnsBe to our alliance j lcnic. Fully two thousand people llut cr,'id esme'ctly to the speaker, Brother rwSSiWicad, candidates Bhlnn eadJ.Os- born, while the wooda around were filled with young people who listened to more interesting talk. Tho people were dla appointed wlwm they found that our can dldate for'governor whh not there, but we had a little hope left yet. We kept loo leg for a telegram announcing hia arrival In Downs, and at half pant throe It came Baying that he would meet us at th opera house la the evening. Jbj came and found a crowded house. He gave us a splendid talk, and invited us all to come down to Topeka nd make him an Informal call during hla term of office saying that he would always be foind there, ami not Bend tn any card, butcorne right In and auk for Wllllts. It la no wonder we feel hopeful of success when wo Bee the crowds and the enthusiasm manifested at these tratherlnirfl. Let every locality help keep the ball rolling and with such speakers aa we have ami the character of our men, combined with the principles of our party, we nro sun of success. Already the old parties be gin to smell something very Htrong Inthf air. The g. o. p. leaders are uneaay, as It is qui'e noticeable at theso meetings of ours. We hardly get over one rally till we are anxious for the noxt. Hecretary Corinth Alliance No. 1 103. Hannkk City, Kan., October 13. Kditok Advocate: You no doubt have heard through some source or other, that the allianco is all fulling to plecrs out hero In Dickinson county. I will Btate, without fear of successful contradiction, that tho alliance has never been in a bettor condition, as regarda numbers and standing, than it la at the present time. Tho people are dropping Into line every day. Thore la a grand re vival going on all the time, and now con verta taken in. Our speakers are doing a grand work here In this county. It la rather amusing to Bee how the o. p.s get let dowu by some of our speakers. All they do Is to defame the speakers and filing all tho mud they can. They will not come out square and argue or defend their party, but will wait till the speak ers nre gone, and then give them abuse. It waa quite amusing at our open meet ing here last Thursday night. Brother H. A. Hart, from Enterprise, addreflsod tho people on the live Issues of the day for tho people's party, and thero were a few rank old republicans present and all they could say of the speech was, "It's a liel It's a lie!" It seems that all they can do Is to slander our apeakera. They have no grounds to argue upon. It la hard for them to try to defend their party when the very best men that were ever In the party have either left It or are dead. They know that the poople's movement Is destined to sweep the o. p.s out of existence.' They woe wo nro de termlned to succeed, and it makes them tremble. The people nro not to bo deceived any longer. They are reading and thinking for themsolves, and are on tho guard for foes without and foes within the alliance. We can expect that now and then a man will bo found in the alliance who ought to bo out. A member of tho alliance haa a perfect right to vote aa ho pleasos, but he should not defame everybody In tho alliance because they differ In their views. On last Saturday night, at our regular meeting, B. P. Lloyd, a member of Banner City Alliance No. 1941, waa expelled from the order, every member voting to expel him. He had been do ing all he could to break up the people's party here, slandering every one In the allianco-our candidates In particular. He was a disgrace to the order, and so he has been expelled. Yours for tho cause, A Brotukb, McPari.asd, Kan., October 5, 1800. Editou Advooatk: Allow me'to con tribute a mite to tho upriilng of therplr lts of the Kansas farmers. We had a public meeting yesterday at the Pleasant Hill school house. Our candidate for county attorney, Brother J. H. Jones, Brother H. B. Jones, candi date for district clerk, and Miss Florence Dickinson, candidate for school superin tendent, addressed the audience and were well received. There la no doubt of their being elected. In our alliance there is not ono man who will scratch hia ticket, (people's tlckot, of course, and thero are but two or three outsiders (farmers) upon whom we cannot depend on voting our ticket. The main speaker of tho day was Judge W. A. Poller, to whom the larg audience listened atten tively for two hours. While he presented the dark fildo of the picture, ehowlng by official report that over 2)0,000 people are turned nut of their houHos and homes yearly In Kansas by their farms being sold by the sheriff, you could read the expressions of astonishment, and terror, I should almost like to say, in many an eye. And when Judge Peffor brought out the proof of J. J. Ingalls being lmpli rated in that very buslnosa when he showed how our government, by the Hervlng of Bhylocks and contraction of currency, is the cause of just this thing, and Is the caiiHO of the hard times ex perienced by the maaa of the people, and when In hia earnest appeal that things will have to come different, that the time la ripe now to try our emancipation by ballot, and that if we can not get justlco by ballot, that we will have to Bhoulder arma and get justice, that we will not stand to be down trodden any longer, you could see a determination in the eyes of the llstenera that would not leave the old party demagogues In tho dark aa to the feelings of the farming class of tho people. We are aa anxious aa any one to come to a peaceful settlement If we can get justice, If we can get what belongs to ua, the reward for our labor, but we have made up our minds that we will not be fooled with any longer. "You may fool some of the poo- ple all the time and you may fool all the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time." Judge Peffer is certainly a most Im pressive speaker, and we trust haa done our cause much good in thia vicinity. As the Judge correctly remarked, people went home turning over In their minds what he said, and hia speech here has left lmpresslona not to be wiped out. With groeting to all brethren and sis tera of our great alliance, and hoping they will all stand firm In aplte of the at tacks of the enemy of our cause, I remain yours forever, II. Bolliku, Secretary 1381. Messrs. E.
