At our municipal election this year

this township 400. are unrepresented
and the rights of the farmers are ap-
parently ignored by the town people.
Perhaps this may suit some, but the
Aurora thinks country people have
rights as we'll as those who live in
town. Give both sides a fair repre-
s~entation if you want the Democratic
| party to win. We think there was
perhaps no intention to do injustice to
the country but this idea will not be
accepted by those thus ignored. A
countryman has rights and "don't you
forget it," A loaded gun often re-
bounds and the breech does more
harm sometimes to the hunter than
the birds.

LUCERNE,

The articles in this paper some
weeks ago in regard to Lucerne at
tracted widespread attention. We
have received a number of letters in
regard to it, enquiring as to methods
of planting, cultivation, &c. Some of
these letters are from subscribers in
Texas, Missouri, Georgia and Louis
lana. The season for planting Lucerne
had passed before arrangements could
have been made after the appearance
of the articles, but we will have a full
and thorough exposition of the subject
for our readers before the time
arrives for planting, and it will be
from the pen of a thoroughly practical
man, who has succeeded splendidly
with it. We will give all particulars,
so that any one who may desire to try
it, will have a safe guide.

H UNIVERSITY.

A correspondent of the News and
Observer of the 18th inst, signing
himself an "Alumnus" of the Univer-
sity, and commenting on the condition
Of our University, uses some rough,
illiberal and indiscreet language. He
is particularly severe on the legislature
for transferring the Land-scrip Fund
from the University to the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College, and
characterizes it as "the very illiberal
act of the legislature" He says:
"Public feeling should have been
aroused. What! Deprive the Uni
versity of one-third of it's income and
not a word said 2" We earnestly
hoped, for obvious reasons, that this
question would be allowed to rest.
The PROGRESSIVE FARMER took an
active and prominent part in securing
that transfer. 1t was supported by a
large proportion of the people and
taxpayers of the State. They resorted
to no parliamentary legerdemain to pro-
cure the enactment of the law. They
were prompted by nc hostility to the
University, but they acted openly and
manfully. Those who voted for it in
the legislature were not, as "Alumnus"
charges, "demagogues" and oak
grinders" but they were honorable
and patriotic North Carolinians. They
were not the enemies of the Univer-
sity, but they were the friends of JUS
tice. AS a friend to the University,
and wishing to see it prosper and adj
vance to the highest rank among the
institutions Of learning, The Pro
GREssrvE 50 FARMER would kindly ad-
monish the especial champions of the
University in their zeal and advocacy
of the claims of that Institution to
temper their language and their efforts,
with discretion and moderation. And
above all, they will act wisely, if they
abstain from any attempt to divert
that fund from the Agricultural Col
lege, and also from imputing improper
and unpatriotic motives to those who
were instrumental in the transfer of
that fund. They were friends of the
University and r to-day, and they
know they did right. Again, we re-
specially suggest to the jealous
friends of the University not to drag
up this question again for discussion.
1t would be wise to let it rest.

RALEIGH'S. GALA DAY.

-Four years ago a few progressive

and prospered. On the 18th all Raj
eigh and the surrounding country
were here and many visitors from a

was delighted. We greatly regret
that our notes of the Fair r crow

DECLARES FOR ALEXANDER

The. Monroe Enquirer and Enpness,
SO ably and fe~arlessly edited by W. j.
Boylin, Esq, and which has always
been unswervingly true to the best
interests of its party, in its issue of
the 18th inst, comes out squarely in
favor Of Capt. S. B. Alexander for the
next Governor of North Carolina.
After announcing the well-known fact
that Hon. T. J.. Jarvis, was its choice,
so long a there was hope of his
accepting the nomination, the Enquirer
and EGpress says:
"Admitting the fact that the name
of Jarvis is no longer to be considered
in this connection, the duty Of select
ing some. other man who can lead the
Democratic hosts to a triumphant vic
tory rests upon the patriotic citizens
of North Carolina. We need a man
whose record is spotless; a man upon
whom no shadow of suspicion rests; a
man whose hands have never been
soiled by corruption. If we are wise
we will select a man who is in SYM
pathy with the masses of the people,
and who is at the same time qualified
by nature and training, to make a
vigorous and successful canvass, and
after his election, to fill the exalted
position to which the has been called
in a d1gnified and creditable manner,
6 The Republican party is marshaling
it's forces and will make a desperate
effort to carry the State, and the task
of defeating that party will be no
child's play. Our leader must be a
man who can command the full
strength of the party and enlist every
man in the cause. Such a man we
believe Capt. S. B. Alexander of
Mecklenburg, to be. No political
rings and cliques are sounding his
praises in the ears of the public; no
packed conventions, controlled by one
or two politicians, are demanding his
nomination, but from the solid masses
of the sun-browned tillers of the soil,
comes a demand for Alexander that
cannot be ignored with impunity.
Even in Wake county, the home Of
Judge Fowle, himself a prominent
aspirant for the nomination, a majority
OF the township delegations to the
County Convention were instructed
for Alexander. In Chatham, the
native county of Maj. Steadman, an
other prominent candidate, a gentle
man writes to The PROGRESSIVE
FARMER that he believes Alexander
can poll 400 more votes than any
other man who has been named. In
Cumberland, a county that had been

WAKE COUNTY CONVENTION.

At IL o'clock, on the 10th, the
Wake County Democratic Convention
was called to order by the newly
elected Chairman of the County
Executive Committee, Mr.. A. D.
Jones'.
On motion of Mr.. S. Ohio Wilson,,
Mr.. R. H. Battle was elected, unani-
mously, President OF. the Convention.
- The Convention was a full one,
every township being well represented,
and the deepest interest was manifested
throughout. Perfect good feeling
characterized the proceedings.
Delegates were chosen to the Con-
gressionaE and State Conventions.
We were not able to get the precise
vote as to Governor, but it stands
about two-thirds for Alexander, and
one-third for Judge Fowle.

LET THERE BE FAIR DEALING.

We regret to learn that unfair
methods are being practiced in certain
counties in this State to secure the
nomination of such delegates as favor
certain candidates. In one county
the delegates are instructed to vote in
the State Convention for a certain
candidate, and it was so palpably I'M
Just to the real wish and sentiment of
the people that some of the delegates
appointed declined to serve. In
Shelby, the aurora says, that out of
the 700 votes in the township, only
800 who live in the town are repre-
sented on the list of Is delegates to
the County Convention; that the 400
or more who do not live in the town
have not a single delegate ON the list.
The AwoTa talks boldly and with its
mouth wide open, in denouncing this
outrage. We learn that in one of the
adjoining counties the false statement
is being innustriously circulated that
Capt. Alexander did all in his power
in the last legislature to prevent the
establishment of a Railroad Commits
sion. Do our friends wish and intend
to make that an issue before the PEG.
pie in the coming campaign? Are we
to know how the different candidates
stand on this Question when they are
nominated and when they come before
us for our votes =? We would most
gladly welcome the issue. If any are
curious to know the record of Capt.
Alexander on this question, they have
only to turn to page $50, Senate
Journal, session of 1887, and read the
vote. He has nothing to conceal.
So far as The PROGRESSIVE FARMER
is concerned, it hereby gives due
warning to manipulators and wire
pullers, that it will boldly and fear
lessly expose any and all men who re-
sort to unfair methods to triae with
or defeat the will of the people in the

A MATTER FOR CONSIDERA-
TON.

EDITOR PROGRESSIVE FARMER The
Alliance has been in working order
long enough, I think, to begin to bene-
fit those who belong to it. It has, it
is true, brought down the price of
fertilizers considerably, but nov we
want it to bring down the price of
other articles, and I think the best
way to do this is to establish trade
houses in each county. I think it is
the, duty of each Alliance to instruct
it's delegates to take this matter in
hand at the July meetings of the
County Alliances. Let each County
Alliance appoint a committee to wait
on the merchants and receive bids and
establish one or more trade houses in
each county, issue trade cards SO an
Alliance mar can be recognized and get
his goods at a>per cent. lower. Then
we will have greater inducements to
offer those who are standing aloof,
waiting for something to be accom-
plished; for, NJ matter how distasteful
it may seem, there are men in each
neighborhood who will "wait and see."
Now let each Alliance instruct it's
delegates to take steps in this direc-
ton and have the trade houses estab-
lished for our fall cash trade. This
plan is being worked to advantage in
other States, and why can't it be done
in this .? SEC'Y 2S5.
Tour brother is on the right track
and we are glad to- see that Alliance
men are thinking about this important
matter. Let the County Alliances
consider these questions carefully and
be prepared to make known their
views and plans to the State Alliance,
which meets in August next, as, doubt
less, this body will adopt a uniform
system for the whole State.-ED1ToR.

counted almost solid for Steadman,
the delegates to the. State Convention

of the esteem in' (which The is held at

man for the first place, endorsing
Alexander or~the second place on the
ticket.
Now, in conclusion, Capt. Alexan-
der is a representative of the agricult-
ural interests, and he is a representa-
tive Of whom the farmers of North
Carolina may we'll be proud. He has
made a successful farmer, and has de-
monstrated his ability as a statesman
time and again in the Senate chamber.
The farmers demand his nomination
in recognition of the Importance of
their interests, and pledge themselves
to work for his election, and we
honestly believe that he can sweep the
State like a tidal wave.
The farmers do not ask us to nomi-
nate an Objectionable man, but they
bring forward one whose integrity can
not be doubted and demand that his
claims be considered. Can the Demo
cratic party afford to ignore that de-
mand?

WAKE FOREST FOR ALEXAN.
DER.
WAKE FOREST, Nav 10.

K FOREST, May 10, 'S8.
While our delegates go untram-
meled to our convention, yet we can
count l think beyond a doubt, out Of
the ten delegates which we are entitled
to, seven for Alexander and three for
Fowle. The Fowle element was we'll
represented, / think, and while our
meeting was harmonious throughout,
Alexander is our choice. Allow me,
Mr.. Editor, to say, while it is fair for
us to have our farmer Governor, don't
let us have our minds diverted from
the proper channel. Governors do
not make our laws, and it is only in
tended that they should have them
executed. It is our imperative duty
to see that our legislators are men who
are friendly to agriculture and who
will defend our rights and make laws
by which we, as a class, can receive
some benefit. We donot want every
thing, but there are some things
which we demand, and as we have the
voting strength, we are going to have.
Let us remember, that to receive any
recognition and independence, is to
begin at home and attend our primary
meetings. If we send the right kind
OF men to our convention and stand
our ground, it will not be a hard mat
ter to nominate the right kind of can
didate, and when this is accomplished
we can, we must, and we will elect
him. This applies with force to can
didates for the State Legislature, and
we should be careful as to who we
nominate. -E 6re X
