There was no coalition between tho
nsw party and tho Democrats, but the
latter were no anxious to l>eat the lie-
publioaus that they voted tho People's
party ticket without lieing invited to do
so. Now all this is changed. Tlio new
party proved to bo it clean party. Ii
would hove no more to do with Demo-
cratic schemes thou with Kepublican
schemed. Hence the disgruntled Demo-
crats concluded they would )*o better off
with their old enemies, tho Republicans,
than with the Independents. So this
year the Democrats and the Republicans
inado a combination against the jieojile.
Aud the result was tlio People's party
cast 10 per ceut. moro votes iu tiio state
this year than they did with tho assist-
ance of tho Democrats lust year. Is this
a sign of dissolution? Is this an indica-
tion that tho Alliauco and tho People's
party is breaking up? If it is, let us

is an unfair construction of the demand

Drackutt, Nov. 14,—a dating rob-

the military garrison adjoining this
town. Tlio United States army pay-
master arrived there and, as is the cus-
tom, deposited the mom y that was to lie
l«dd to the suldki'n in the guard house,
a strong nsk bnikiiug, aud always
heavily guarded. When the money was
cnlled for it was found tliat a sack con-
taining $8300 was gone and no one could
account for It. A recent deserter from
Fort Sam Houston mined Miller is un-
der arrest awaiting developments. No
money was found about him. The
affair lias created a geuuluo sensation
and developments are looked for eagerly,
as it seems a very difficult matter for
any one to rob such an institution us the
Fort Clark guardhouse.

San Antonio, Nov. 17.—Near La

Thero was * great contest in Now

main fight inado by the Republicans was

Werb in orler, nnd tho great man of tho
so called Democratic parly (who re-
cently boennio a pa [hi) announced that
Die victory was owing to a growing sen-
liin-' iit of lariit reform. Tho dofented
Republican cundiiluto declared thai

tho Democrats hail more money than
they could find, uso for, or did find uso
for, in tho cuiupaign, and thus the Dem-
ocrats won. So much for Now York.
it a a a a
Ohio was another great battle ground.
Here tho Republicans were swoepingly
successful. Their leader declares they
won because the sentiment of high tariff
and protection Is growing there aud else-
where. The defeated Democratic candi-
date says tho Democrats wero defeated
because they had not sufficient funds,
and also blamed tho free silver plank us
partially responsible lor his defeat. Then
he sits right down nnd writes the follow-
ing to Ills opponent: *"I heurtlly con-
gratulate you upon your election. 1
huvo no doubt that you will servo tho
peoplo with fidelity and honor." Great
Scott! cougraliiluting a man whom ho
had opposed on what aro regarded us
vital Issues to tlio commonwealth! And
thinks his opponent will Borvo "with
honor," oven after having indirectly
charged that opponent with securing
victory by methods of corruption. So
lunch for Ohio.

A big fight was waged in Massachu-
setts. Tho Democrats wero successful
there. Tho Democratic candidate for
governor "chivalrously voted for bis op
poneut," the Republican candidate, Then
ho wont to fleo a game of football, and
afterward said with referenco to tho
Democratic victory, "It means that
Massachusetts is earnestly for tariff re-
form ou tho lino of fre« raw material,
which has been tho chief issno in this
state." Tlio Republicans had nothing
to say in this state.
Then comes Pennsylvania, where b*t-
tor war was waged lietween tho two
parties. Tho recent collapse of tho Key-
stouo bank, with all its awful revela-
tions of corruption und slander, in which
high Republican officials were tightly
involved, put tho peoplo to thinking,
and in this stato tho issue was "down
with corruption." But tho element
with which all this glaring corruption
v. ns heaped came out with a victorious
majority of about 50,000; and the victory
lias been attributed to a growth of seiiti

lewu comes next—a stute which for
years was a Republican stronghold—
with a Democratic majority of e.000 or
more. Nobody seems to know what to
attribute this victory to. Somo assert
that it is a liquor victory, whilo others
ring in tariff reform as tho cause of
Democratic success. There's not much
to say about this stato except that tlio
Democrats won.

Bleeding Kansas was the field on
which some of tho most hotly contested
locnl lights ever kuown took place. It is
claimed that tho Republicans defeated
o very thing—horse, foot and artillery.
But did they? Is it not rather a victory
achieved by tho combination of two
common enemies—that is, *o far as vic-
tory govs? For with all tho claims made,
the People's party was victorious in n
largo proportion of tiio contests, und
wherever it met defeat.it was because
of a direct fusion of tho Republican and
Democratic parties—the two hereditary
enemies. .\nd iu all tho ucctioiu: whero
this combine\vas successful, th« Demo-
crats and Republicans aro "congratulat-
ing each other" aud celebratiug together.
And whilo tho Democrats aro gouiK
around arm and arm with tho Republic
ii us and throwing up their huts to-
gether, tho Republicans aro predicting
flint they will light tho Democrats again
next year and defeat them. Tho gen-
eral etuto fight wss on the election of
ten district judges. Of thouo elected
seven are Republican, two Democratic
und olio Alliance mail.
The Democrats and Republicans gain-
ed ail their victories by fusion. But,
willi all this, the People's party voto
was 10 per cent, more thaq jt was last
year, and lu the city of Tojwka it was
50 per cent. more. It took the combined
Btreugth of the Republican* ami Demo-
crats to lieut tho Peoplo even by akiuny
majorities, and even thi« combine failed
in a largo uumbsr of the counties iu tho
state to overcome the People. This much
for Kansas.

lu Nebraska tho conditions wore sim-
ilar to thosu in Kansas. Tiio Democrats
and ::opubllcaus combined against Hie

Important states of two different sec-

each other! Neither "high tariff-' uor
tariff reform inovo tho states with unan-
imity. A state which goes for "tariff
reform" in 186V, repudiates It in IfftH,
and a state which whoops up "hi$h
tariff" In 1680, puts If down In 1801."

And, oh, y« trusting, conBlhitpeopln,
do you think till this la natural or acci-
dental? You (lou't know that behind
tho scene* a lot of inspired lobbyists and
schemers lay plans for just such results
do you? You don't know that their inulu
objcct 1* to keep this tariff business
kicked from ono side of tho country to
the other, so that it may never be settled,
do yon? Did you know that when tin
"tariff reform" gang had the making of
u tariff they introduced ami advocated u
lueusuro which reduced the purticului
bill they professed to light just 5 p'-r
cent.? Do you know that whilo tlii-
row is being kept up tho schemer* are
ublo to increase tho powers and priv-
ilege* of monopoly and classy, while
legislation for tho good of tho people
is smothered aud kept down? How much
longer will Mie [>eoplo act us tho dies-
board ou which the schemers play their
grasping and profitable games?

And now what of the results? Those
who think and believe they aro loyal
aud honest Republicans are not satisfied.
Neither are professing Democrat* satis-
tied. The people are not eatlsfied.
The Democrats charge tho victorious
Republicans with fraud, bribery and
corruption, aud defeated Republicans
make tho same charges against victori-
ous Democrats. Both aro right.

In tho meantime nothing is settled.
No progress bus been uiudu toward the
solittioti of a question over which par-
tisan factions are determined to keep up
a never ending fight. All is contradic-
tion and confusion, cimos aud darkness
reign. Measures for the good of the
people, for tho promotion of prosperity
and forthsenconrugement of patriotism,
tiud no reception or welcome in tho pub-
lic councils of state and nation.

charges of tho two great opposing fac-
tions, boodle aud corruption nre tlio ef-
