Just what the third paragraph
above means we are unable to di>
vine. Like good many more al
lance declarations, it seems to cross
itself badly, but we copied it verba-
tim from the published proceedings
of the meeting.
1t appears from the second clause
of the sixth resolution that the all
lance is composed of representatives
OF all parties, and the presumption is
that whichever candidate answers the
catechism to suit the alliance best will
receive the support of its members,
no matter what party the candidate
may represent. In other words the
alliance proposes to boss all political
matters in Tennessee, and yet we are
told that 1t is a non-political organi-
zation! Verify, what bosh.

WHO STARTED THIS FIGHT.

1t is little inconsistent for Mr..
Buchanan and his alliance friends to
kick so vigorously at the questions
prOpounded to him. The alliance
started this little catechism business,
and now they ought to be willing to
swallow their own medicine. Here
are some resolutions passed at a call
ed meeting of the Warren County
farmers and laborers' union held at
Verona, on the 10th of last May:
First, That we regard principles
above men.
Second, That we declare ourselves
unqualifiedly in favor of the SUBJ
treasury bill as introduced by Sena-
tor Vance, of North Carolina or some
similar bill, for the relief of the far
mers.
Third, That we demand the aboli-
ton of legal tender Treasury notes,
issued in sufficient volume to do the
business Of the country Gu a cash
system.
Fourth, That we demand the free
and unlimited coinage of silver.
Fifth, That we favor the election
of United States Senators by Il direct
vote of the people.
Sixth, Resolved, That we will sup
port no man for Legislative office
who will not pledge himself to carry
out these demands.
Resolved further, That committee
Of three from each political party be
appointed to interview each aSpirant
for Legislative offices to ascertain
whether he is in favor of these reso.
| lutiOns or not.
Seventh, That copy Of these rcso,

But while our correspondent is in
the question business, will he please
answer some for us:
|. Have you even heard of Mr..
Cleveland or Senator Harris endors-
ing the sub~treasury bill?
2. Have you ever heard of Mr..
Cleveland or Senator Harris either
one declaring that the democratic
party furnishes no adequate remedy
for the wrongs from which the farms
ers suffer.
3. Did you ever hear of any other
democratic nominee for governor in
Tennessee refusing to answerquestions
courteously put to him by democrats ?
4. If either of the other candidates
had been nominated for governor in
stead Of Buchanan, and the alliances
had put their catechism to him, as
they certainly would have done,
wouldn't you and other alliance men
have expected courteous, straightfor>
ward answers, instead of silence and
lodging?
5. Were you in the secrect alliance
meeting held in the courthouse in
McMinnville last May just previous
to the county democratic convention?
6. Were not the officers and some
OF the committees of the convention
selected in that secret meeting of the
alliance?
7. Were you not selected as secre-
tary at that secret meeting?
s. Was this meeting of secret or
ganization for the purpose of fixing
things" for democratic convention
in keeping with democratic princi>
pies?
8. Can man subscribe to the St.

laborers union and be a democrat?
