Ed. GREAT WEST:
A grand Alliance meeting was held
here today. Prof. Allison gave a
splendid address and when the roll
was called at the close fifty-two
eheerfully responded. This outburst
was prompted largely by the bitter
opposition..to the farmers movement
exhibited by a few rabid politicians
in the town. Ringing resolutions
were passed, two of which send you
for publication in the GREAT WEST
by request of the meeting. Yours
truly, M. V. Poor, Secretary.
RESOLVED, That we strongly con-
denim the servility of those papers
which should support every measure
relating to the we'll being Of the
farmer yet evidently bow to the bchest
Of the capitalists, and we hail with
ioy the advent of the "GREAT WEST"
the Farmers Alliance paper, publish
ed at st. Paul by DR.. E. W. Fish.
We admire it's independence and the
courage with which it assails trusts
and combines and other enemies Of
the farmer, and the way it exposes
the tricks OF the spoil suckers.
RESOLVED, That we regard with
great satisfaction the work being
done by the Deputy State Lecturer,
Prof. J. Allison, and the grand sue
cess which has crowned his earnest
and self-sacrifcing labor. We have
every confidence in his uprightness
and the courage with which he
prOsecutes his work, and we heartily
commend him to the sympathy and
support OF our brother farmers
the states.

ED. GREAT WEST:
You are on the right track, keep
the work moving. People in this

am doing some work in the way of
lecturing and organizing. Held

GA Crisis for the Husbandman," by
Col Percy Daniels, G. E., Girard, KAN
sas, has been placed on our table, 1t
is a very thorough exposition of
monopolistic and tariff robberies,
and doubtless it's IS pages have done
a great deal to enlighten Kansas citi-
zens. 1t believes in graduated es-
tate tax, and takes a broad view of
our commercial relations with the

An interesting communication from
A. E. Ball, of RushfOrd, Minn., is at
hand. 1t is too long for this issue,
but will doubtless appear next week.
Mr.. Ball thinks Sec Windom's sill
yer plan would be all right if the
basis of issue OF notes or currency
were on the basis of the present silver
lollar-but to leave the price of fsilver
to be dictated by rings and corners
would be all wrong. We agree with
him.

FROM MR., DAY-AT ST. LOUIS.

EDITOR GREAT WEST Il see COM
mun1cation in your issue of Dec. 9Th,
from the pen Of Mr.. Cutler. He says,
''too much politics and too little busi-
ness has been going on in the alli-
ance. l don't agree with him about
the politics. There can be too much.
There has been too little politics and
too much "party.' Let us get all
the politics into the alliance we can,
and knock the party over board.
l tell you we shall have a different
state of affairs in a little while.
There have been men in the Alli-
ance, the hired tools OF the rings,
the tools OF the parties that have
tried to kill off every man who works.
But for this the alliance would be
what it was intended to be, fearless
exponent of those fundamental prin-
ciples that underlie our civil govern
ment. The farmers alliance is get
ting on to solid ground and the time
isn't far distant when the dema-
gogues will have to come to the front
or crawl in to their holes. Iwould
like to say something about our
great meeting at St. Louis, but
haven't time, but let me say to the
people that the farmers don't fear.
This great convention at St. Louis
said, "Onward marchW Now let us,
every farmers in the land, Join our
great army that reaches from North
to South, and the East to the far
west. God bless your paper Every
one seems to be best and better.
Yours, GEO. w. DAY.
We agpee with Mr.. Day that it was
too much "party" and not enough
''politics" that broke up the alliance.
But we took that to be Mr.. Cutters
meaning. We know that the inten-
tion Of the parties three years ago
was to annihilate the alliance. As
far as the ballot box goes the alli-
ance man who refuses to vote for his
principles is both a knave and fool.
And we don't see any reason for not
having laboring mems politics! We
have rich mems politics why not
poor mans? We think that Mr..
Cutler inferred that "Party' was the
poison.

MIR BLAINE PATRIOT.

We are quite delighted to read in b
dispatch which we publish in another
column chat Mr. Blaine's idea, Il he IS TO
De Secretary of State, is that the South
should he let alone.
MI Blaine may have been tattooed,
but the devil himself is entitled 10 some
credit. II be offers the kingdom of the
world 90 reasonable and just idea in
stead Of demanding that we shall bow
down and wosship his malgnity
We all know what the Democratic
party il in the South and that it must
often surrender right TO maintain our
safety Our political opinions have been
so moulded that there is but one way for
good citizen to think, because the
other way would be ruin
But still the political creed Of the
Southern people is free and American,
and if The Republican party will only
play fair, they can work their policy all
over the south And the Southern
people viii acknowledge that any party
is right that will abrogate prejudice and
diseuihrall the people. We know that
the Democratic idea Of free representa-
tive government Is the right one,
but every time that the oppos
ing party approaches that idea they
strengthen themselves. If Mr. Harrison
proposes to De great President and not
IA patti an too, lie can make his party
do what should have been done long ago,
viz
Leave the Southern states as free as
the Northern states, and let Mr.. Darkey
take care of himself
We say again that it is monstrous
,saud 10 declare, as Sherman does, that d
Southern State cheats the vote simply
because the census shows there is ne
gro majority.
The radicals wish to declare Repub'
lican majority in the Southern States by
an official report Of the census, and to
force all elections up to that standard.
IfMr Blaine has the patriotism 10
stop that CHASTITY trick, he will retrieve I
his career Of political wrong and show /
that bad man can do some good
