ANOTHER ALLIANCE MAN HEARD FROM.
RDITOR Sun:
regret very much to see the con.
ditiun of affairs in the Alliance Of the
40th district Farmers Alliance since
the Convention held at Morris.
Traverse county is somewhat of
prohibition county, and it may be
That said county asked for too much
al the convention; cannot say AS to
that, but can say that there are
amy prUhihitiOnists in the Alliance
and il will not do to ignore their
wishes entirely. The republican
party tried this few years ago and
by so doing drove from the party
large number of their best men, men
hat are bound never to return TO the
old party again.: and it will be the
same with the Alliance. there is
already strong probability that one
coantY in the district will Withdraw
their support from the Alliance, and
sitter unite with other disafected
ones or with the prOhi6iOnists and
start peoples ticket.
In some counties of the district
Mr.: Hixon is openly accused of
gong secretly to prominent men in
Aany Of tire subordinate alliances,
and soliciting their help and influence
to get him into office. Now this is
against alliance principles, in all the
alliance meetings that / have ever
attended ii has been said let the Office
seek the man and not the man the
Office.
Mr.. Hixon is accused, not of drink.
ing liquor but pouring it. down; now
are the above charges true? If not let,
the men that nominated and that in.
tend to support him deny the charges
through THE Sun. If they remain
silent we shall take it for granted that
they are true and shall act accord
ingly.
One more question, the alliance
principles are, bid adue to the old
parties, and form new out of the
two old ones, and select men for
office that Will act independent of old
party ties. The alliance says We
know no republican or democrat, we.
ask for reform, breaking away from
old party ties and carrying out the
WISHES of the people and not party.
shy it was that All the nominees ut
the late convention were republicans

Was it purely accidental whichever
Il may be it will tend to drive the
democratic portion of the alliance
hack to the old party. Some men will
say that this article was written BY
sore head, q disappointed politician,
but gentlemen l. am not an ONCE
seeker; because am not capable of
filling any office; neither have
written this article to throw into the
alliance as bomb, l have only made
afew plain, true statements that I
haUw to he true, and asked a few
questions for information. I wish to
make few suggestions; it is very
ca ldent that their is some dissatis.
faction iii the alliance, it is also
desirable to have harmony in our
ranks, 1t is predicted that the alliance
viii split, this ought not to be, we
are all liable to make mistakes; if a
mistake was made in nominating
officers at the Morris convention, let
US remedy 1t If we can, some one or
more of the candidates can with
draw and some good reliable

If through some blunder that has
been made the alliance ticket is
defeated this fall, shall not be dis
couragcd hut shall stay by and work
for the alliance, hoping that we will
learn wisdom by defeat, and be
prepared to put candidates into the
field that will win at the next
election,
