Mr.. vierling will be opposed on two
grounds:
/. That as a Republican he has be
friended Mayor Cregier.
,. That as an Alderman he has never
gone back on the people of his ward
While The EAGLE is not particularly
stuck on the Mayor, it believes that
the second charge against Nierling will
help him considerably.
He will be opposed by one white
Scandinavian and two black civilians
in the preliminary skirmish
THIRD WARD.
This is a lovely ward. 1t is lovely
on account of the number of decent
Democrats who live in it. Among the
number are Owen Murray, Patrick
Clabbey and Barney Mcneil. Two
thousand such men would make a ward
five times their number Democratic.
But there are not two thousand of
their kind in the Third.
For that reason, principally, the in
offensive and quiet person known as
Aid. Anson Gorton will be reelected.
FOURTH WARD.
The Fourth Ward incumbent is a
very decent and very much misun-
derstood person named John w Hep
burn.
Mr.. Hepburn is neither loud, noisy,
nor insignificant but he always man
ages to uphold the interest of his
people.
His possible opponent is still in the
trees, although W. H. Underwood
thinks that he is in the race.
FIFTH WARD.
Whether John S. Oehman will &c
back from the Fifth Ward remains to
be seen.
The fight is between him and about
fifteen other persons of doubtful poll.
tics, who, if they should all be elected
would never be heard from except as
applicants for free passes to boxing
matches.
SIXTH WARD.
THE EAGLE differs from its friend
Alderman W. J. O'Brien about the
ability Of his colleague, Alderman f.
?. Burke.
Mr.. O'Brien and Mr.. Burke never
did get along very well together, but
that is a private affair of their own.
The fact remains that Burke is a
good Alderman, has always been hon.
est with his people, and will be re
elected by a fine vote.
SEVENTH WARD.
There are some people in Chicago
who do not know Aid. Love.
For their benefit THE EAGLE will
state that Love is a sewer builder who
has very nice family and winning
voice, although not much of an orator
But he has succeeded in getting 22C
Seventh-Warders on the police force
which after all, speaks well for Love
even where clubs are trumps.
He has made a good Alderman.
Mr.. Love will be opposed by Rep
resentative Carmody.

Eighth Ward bears the name O.

And the reason that they won't Is,
that one Simon Simons, who couldn't
tell a seven-up-pack from ball club. is
his only opponent.
TWELFTH WARD.
Alderman James L. Campbell, OPP
posed by professional politicians, and
so forth, will be reelected sure
THIRTEENTH WARD.
This is a funny ward.
In the first place, few people care to
live in it, But such few as do, either
join the United Order of Deputies or
sacrifice themselves in vain efforts to
beat it.
One Freelon or Freeland Miller is
said to be in the field for Alderman.
This man Miller will be opposed by
man named James 7. Rawleigh
And the Lord help the people which
ever wins.
FOURTEENTH WARD.
Mr.. Herman Weinhardt will be run
again in the Fourteenth Ward, but he
will have to contest the Republican
primary with Henry Bartel. The
Democrats will run Mr.. John J.
Block.
FIFTEENTH WARD.
The strange coolness which exists
between the Milwaukee avenue states
man, Michael Ryan, and that great
Goose Island statesman, Michael f.
Bowler, is still, Notwithstanding the
warm weather, a cooluess.
Mr.. Ryan, who is also known as
"The Gladiator is opposed to the re-
nomination of his colleague, Mr.. Bow
ler, who is known as "The Statesman, "
At this point we leave them, and
wait for the primaries
SIXTEENTH WARD.
August J. Kowalski is the keeper OF
palatial saloon.
He runs again.
The ward is Polish, and contains
among its inhabitants Peter Kiolbassa,
who is Independent.
Mr.. Kiolbassa will make a great
race, if he runs, bat he does not want
to run, although urged to do so.
John Barzinski will be the Demo
cratic nominee.
SEVENTEENTH WARD.
Alderman Philip Young, a scholar.
a gentleman, and a good citizen, will
90 back from this ward to the Council.
EIGHTEENTH WARD.
The best Alderman the Eighteenth
has ever had is Mr.. Isaac Homer.
He will be reelected, whether he
runs as a Democrat or as an Indepen-
dent.
NINETEENTH WARD.
Alderman Powers, always true to
his friends, goes back from the Nine
teenth, sure.
TWENTIETH WARD.
The Oldest inhabitant of the Twen
tieth Ward does not rccollect Alder
man Hage.
There is such a man. however bc
cause Mr.. Deputy City Clerk Van
Cleave has him on his list.
John Hartwick, a popular German
will probably succeed him.

Mr. Tiedemann has made a good

Arthur J. Calder is very popular with
the young Republicans, but Mr. Tiede

. GRAND ALLIANCE RALLY.

WE feel safe in saying that since
w the introduction of the Alliance
into our State, there have been more
farmers dinners, farmers picnics and
farmer gatherings than ever before in
the same period Of time within our
history. And we feel equally safe in
saying that these social occasions have
contributed greatly to the fraternizing
and unifying of our people. But
numerous, pleasant and profitable as
have been these gatherings, we be-
lieve a grand STATE occasion, where
the farmers and their families of diff
ferent sections O the State could meet
has never been saggested.
We believe such an occasion could
be made not only highly enjoyable
but productive of great good. We
suggest, therefore, that the members
of the Alliance begin to consider the
matter, and as some one has to lead
off with a first suggestion, The Pro
GREssIvE FARMER will venture to
make it: s,..
Let it be held at Greensboro, be
tween the 10th and Goth of July.
Very cheap rates can be had on all
the railroads and from all points in
the State. Excursion trains can be
run from Charlotte, Marion, Wilkes.
boro, Mt. Airy, Clarksville, Va, Ok.
ford, Henderson, Goldsboro and Wi
mington. But should it be for one OF
two days? From twelve to twenty
thousand people would attend.
Greensboro, we believe, would do al
in her power to accommodate the
crowd and to aid in making it, in
every, respect, a great success. We
can have good speeches by menof oul
own and other States. We car
have N of the finest bands in the
State, every mar of which is a mem
Der Of our order. If for more thar
one day, a most attractive programme
can be arranged and hundreds O
families for twenty-five miles around
would come in their own conveyances

AN OPEN LETTER FROM "OLD
FOGY."

I desire to extend to the brother.
hood my thanks for the very many
kind expressions of confidence and
esteem, not only in personal letters,
but those addressed to The PROGRESS,
sIvE FARMER as well.
l shall always try to merit your con-
fdence, and if 1 can serve you in Civ.
ing you facts or information, I will
gladly do so. [ assure you that it
gives me greater pleasure to write for
your good, than it can possibly give
you to read my hastily-written arti-
cles. I was selected by our National
President, Bro. Polk, to act as his
private secretary, and the press of
letters and other duties force both he
and I to keep close to u desks for
l6 to Is hours daily.
I have instructed Bro. Ramsey,
our very efficient junior editor, to
have my nom de plume to only one
article each week, though [ may
frequently impose more than n on
you.
The brotherhood will therefore
understand that it is impossible for
me to visit their meetings, although
know of nothing that would give me
greater pleasure.
l am fraternally yours,

( GIVE US SOMETHING BETTER.

TT is easy to criticize. Any one a
offer objections. But it is often a
matter more difficult, even with the
critics, to offer suggestions that would
be an improvement on the matter crit
cized. Old father Noah for long years
endured the jeers and criticisms of the
wise men around him, but he finally
succes ded and foated away trium-
phantly and LETT his critics to perish.

at Washington for years, begging
Congress for a small appropriation to

more. He was laughed at and ridi-
culed by so-called wise men. But
these wise men are gone and forgotten
while the name of Morse is immortal.
We are led to these reflections by
the course of some of our latter day
critics. Since the introduction of the
sub-treasury plan by Senator Vance
in the U. S. Senate, quite a number
of papers throughout he country "of
high and low degree have been free
ly exercising their gifts of criticism
of the bill, but not one Of them so far
as we have seen, from the New York
Herald down, has ever ventured a
single suggestion as to a better plan
for the relief of the people and
country. Do not the farmers and the
the business interests of the country
need relief 2
Twenty-Five years ago the farmers
owned half the wealth of this country
to-day they own only twenty-five
per cent. of it. Nearly two hundred
thousand business failures have oc.
Cured within that time involving
nearly four billions of dollars. Dur
ing that time farms under twenty
acres have decreased yer twenty pei

acres or more have decreased sever

ALLIANCE GUANO.

WE call the attention of u read
w ers to the circular letter from
Bro. Worth on the til page of this
issue, giving analysis of thu Alliance
Guano. Please note the difference
between Nos. 5 and 6. 1t will be
seen that each test has a different re-
suit. But this is the same with all
guanos. The ingredients r never
thoroughly mixed. The result would
not be the same even if the sa mples
we're taken from the same bag. It
will be seen that only one analysis
falls below the guarantee and the total
average is 80 cents in value above the
guarantee. No other brand has been
tested so severely, and it is with pleas
ure that we note that "our" brand
has come through safely. We hope
it will prove beneficial to all crops.

Bro. Jno. W. Rice, a subscriber
at Luraville, Fla, sent us a subscriber
last week and closes his letter as fol
lows: II give away my paper as soon
as l read it. 1t is aggressive and pro-
gressive." Bro. Rice is setting a good
example.

existence eleven years, which is much
longer than daily papers usually live
in this State. The paper is to be en-

and as it now has no evening paper to
contend with, it doubtless will be a
success. The enterprise has our best
wishes.
Mr.. W. E. Christian, the gifted
