away beyond my allotted time the senti-
ment formed there will never leave me.
And as the greater part of my holdings
are in agricultural properties claim
personal interest with you in the success
of your line OF business. shalt not reter
to anything political, but caudor and ex-
pressions of fair dealing between man
and man will justify me in saying that
no line of legitimate business should pear
unequal burthens nor should any busl-
ness interest receive special fayors from
the government and L know of no class
OF people, who must find market for
their products and want for their
products and want for their necessary
supplies, who have greater and more
continuing interest in an honest and strict
adherence to these fundamental prlnci-
pies of free government, than your
people The startling chapter in the
history of this good government that mas
been made in the last third of century
in blood; and mechanical and material
development has brought with it mis-
taken errors and wrongs, but as have
an abiding faith in the capacity of the
American people for self-government,
and knowing that free government can
exist only with honesty and fair dealing
between every class of people, SIN
oerely believe that time can be depended
upon to correct all errors and right all
wrongs. Often we feel that justice is
tardy, but we must not despair nor resort
to injustice ourselves. Nothing that is
foU nded upon q wrong can stand before
the honest American citizen, and al
though at times some who have en-
trenched themselves behind an advan-
tage often gained by an accident of the
times have for brief periods undue ad-
vantages, they will be properly con-
trolled when the true principles of our
government are applied.
Besides the control of the business of
this great state by agricultural people,
by their superior numbers they also con-
troll its g overnment. The past has been
conservative, wise, fair and honest, and
this record should be guarantee for the
future, and have no fear of the results.
Temporary controversies between our
people are always more imaginary than
real and have always thought that the
sharper these became at times when kept
within proper bounds gave only better
evidence of intelligence and patriotism.
Time and development can be depended
upon to adjust all such differences, and
the irresistible march of human progress
will in time assign us all to our proper
avocatIons in life and to the stations
therein made necessary by the require
nents of the age in which we live.
In closing Mr.. Barry SAID that he was
Texas raised. That hs knew the farmers
of the state They were honest, sincere
and patriotic. They now held the reins
of government and the control of bust
hn1 70
have had one honest administration and
we will have another one. Dallas was
built by the industry of the yeomanry
and the products of the farms of Texas.
She owes her greatness to agriculture and
her citizens are not afraid to trust those
who till the soil.
In conclusion he said: Again assuring
you of a hearty welcome and for Mayor
Conner his personal regret at not being
able to be with you, l beg to close by
wishing you pleasant, harmonious and
profitable session, and the hope that you
will take home with you such pleasant
recolleotlons of your sojourn here as to
induce you to come again.
Mr.. Harry Tracy, on behalf of the
Alliance, responded to ar. Barry.
After complimenting Dallas he pro-
ceeded to say that in this city the AL
lance had located the main store of civil
liberty from which to survey the lines of
constitutional Limitation. They had To-
Gated their wrongs as well as defined
their rights. They had no war to make
on legitimate business. They asked
nothing but what is right, and wanted
only justice. Organized among the few
in Lampasas, the Alliance now numbers
3 1000, 900 American farmers. The AL
lance asked only that the laws do no
more for agriculture than for any other
line of business. If you are in favor of
that Cunning to Mr.. Barry give me
your hand.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Tracy's ad-
dress the Alliance resumed its secret
session.
CONVENTION NOTES.
Mr.. B. j. Kendrick of Waco, chair
man of the executive committee,

sion of opinion for publica-

corning it,
Mr.. James Barnes of San Saba-"I
am satisfied with the platform and the
candidates. 1 favor the principles of the
sub treasury bill, but am opposed to it if
it will create any more offices. Take
that feature out of it and am for it. -
Two lady delegates are present Miss

johnson county, and Mrs. Jernigan from
Grayson county. Miss Moss has been

made her bright eyes sparkle with pleas
ure. This was done in open meeting.
Mr.. j. G. Davie of Collin county-The

Worth fellow said he was Hogg wild.
