Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 9, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 30 October 1890 — Another Repudiation of That Pretended Alliance Convention. [ARTICLE]

Another Repudiation of That Pretended Alliance Convention.

To the Voters of Jasper County: Being presented with a ticket bearing my name as candidate for the office of Commissioner of tne Ist district, was the first intimation that I had been so honored, by the Peoples’ Party. Although it is now too late to take my name from the ticket, I offer the following: lam a member of the Farmers’ Alliance; I remember that a convention was called earlier in the summer to determine the question of putting a ticket in the field this year. I also remember that the question was decided in the negative. I believe in standing by the majority, and that convention, that placed my name on the Peoples’ Ticket, usurped a liberty not delegated by official call or authority; and such nominations masked under the face of Farmers’ Alliance, should justly be ignored by all good Alliance people. I hope that this movement will be fully understood, and on election day will meet with the fate it deserves. Very Truly Yours, Asa Tyler.
