McIver, Lieutenant-GOvernOr Holt,
Hon. "Buck" Kitchen and Eugene
Beddingfeld, Secretary Of the State
Farmers Alliance. Mr.. Bedding
field said Senator Vance was the
choice Of the Alliance and pledged
the support of that great order for
the reelection of Senator Vance,
"fOur-fifths of whose life work." he
said, ''has been in the interest of the
farmers of our cOuntry.n
Calls for Senator Vance were made
and a committee was sent to bring
him into the Convention. When
the venerable statesman entered the
hall, cheer after cheer greeted him.
He made a short but patriotic adj
dress and at its conclusion prolonged
cheers went up for this great defen-
der of the peoples rights.
At Stronach's warehouse Wednes-
day night brief and spicy talks were
made by MessJs. G. b. AycOck,
Theo Kluttz, r. b. Glern, Auditor
Sanderlin, Preston Parr, w. r.
Henry, f. w. Pough and Hon. w
J.Greeu. Mr.. Marion Butler, Samp-
sons Democratic nominee tor the
Senate, who was presiding, said he
wanted to endorse what Nj. Henry
had said about Senator Vance. The
farmers are for him. Sampson was
the strongest Alliance county in the
State, and it wonld send three men
to the Legislature to vote for him.
On Thursday there vas a grand
barbecue, and speaking at Brookside
Park. Senator Vance made the
speech of the day. We give a few
eXtrCcts:
THE farmers movement was
necessary When bad men COM
bine good men must associate or go
to the wall. Ever since the close of
the war all legislation has been di-
rected at the expense of the masses.
All of the legislat on for twenty
five years has been in the interest of
bankers, cor porations. l. Dads,
manufacturers, Jond holders, and the
people have nothing to say but tu
pay the tax. How does it happen
that the Goulds and the Vanderbilts
and others build marble palaces
and own all the banks, while the
land from which our bread comes,
and the people who pray, "Give Us
this day our daily bread,'' are poor
and in debt. 1t is because the Re-
publican Congress have made friends
of the mammon of unrighteousness.
Millions of dollars go into the hands
of Quay-a criminal who buys news
papers and floods the land with lit
erature that II I to te ach that you
are benefited by the tp if. He tries
to show that the higher tax you pay
the richer you become. In this way
out of the money of the beneficial
ries by the tar f-the people are
corrupted and elect IS are carried
by the Republicans.
There is no Cen and, except one
of the Farmers A';ance which is
not a conditional principal of the
Democracy. Let us atand together
st. Paul, when shipWrecked, tolt
his terrified fellow-travelers "Ex
} cept We abide in the ship We canno
be saved.n Unless We abide in tht
Democratic party and seek relief un
der its banners ye cannot get the re
lief needed.
| Able talks were also made by
> Hons. B III. Bum and w. Ell. Kitch
en-. The Convention was grea
Democratic Love Feast and its goot
t effects will be felt in the approach
ing elections.
