member of Congress from the 4 h Virginia

vi. Bout,lc created great coustcr-
nation in lie Chicago Republican Con
ycutiou when. just before its adioWu-
mcut. hc aro>e to offer resolution
" hich should become part vi the
platform if adopted. The romiua-
tiors had been made. the platform
adopted. and when the gentleman
from Maine arose the convention
Silrewdly suspected that it was his in
tcution To throw Il fire brand into the
body. 1t was therefore only after re-
pcatcd efforts that he was allowed 10
read his resolution, which was wordrd
as follows:
The first concern of all good gov
mcnt is the virtue and SohriCty of the
people and the purity of their homes.
The Republican party cordially sym
pathizes with all wise and well direct
ed efforts for the promotion of tenn
pcraucc and morality.
OF course when brought face Ia face
with the problem the convention had
to adopt the resolution or add to the
alrcady fcrvcut hostility of The plohi-
hition party of the Northern States.
Its Committee uu Platform had ,tUdi-
ou~ly avoided the issue which Nr.
Boutrllc presented, and it was far
from the purpose of the delegates to
express any Jews on the subject.
That the resolution is not sufficient
y explicit to satisfy the Prohibitions
lists, goes without saying. They
are making Il square fight TO suppress
the liquor traili" entirely, and moth
ing short of clear declaration of
that purpose will avail.

The Farmers Alliance is not a pOlit-

forfcits his rights as citizen by be-

of our population are engaged in
agriculture, which is the foundation
OF all our prosperity, is it not meet
and 4rOper the farmers should unite
for tAeir mutual protection and adj
vancemcnt? And when we consider
the further fact that nearly every one
of them are Democrats, does it APP
pear unreasonable that they should
insist upon the right to Impress their
views, to some extent at least upon
the policy of the party, whose success
depends so largely upon their votes
The Alliance does not intend to break
up or antagOnize the Democratic par
~ as charged 10y some street corner
politicians, but its members
who are democrats will in the
proper manner strive to redeem the
grand old party from the dcnomina-
ton of the corrupt rings, cIiqueS and

years have controlled its action increas-

An Explanation That Doesn't
Explain.

We knew the other week when we
called upon Col. Frantzy to explain
why it was the Governor pardoned
his nephew. the notorious ROD, that
he would have ample gall to Try it..
The chief reason given by the Govern
ors regularly rctaincd Brandon white
washer is, that the offtnse for which
Rod was jagged for 80 days was com
mitted when he was il mere youth.
lnaSmuch, hoW2vcr,as Rod hasn't i'm
proved any since "a mere youth" but
has has steadily gone on from bad 20
worse ever since, the public will fail
to see why he was entitled to any
consideration on this score. and they
would also like to know why the
Rankin authorities are 50 slow that
they are just now catching up Rod
and executing sentence against him
for an utfcnSc committed so long ago.
and with which the Court records
have been numbered many years.
viii Col, Frantzy, who is 50. so ac-
commodating, make just one more
frantic effort to explain these little
discrepancies
