MIR. CLEVELAND spoke on Ballot Box Reform" at the banquet of the Bay State Club in Boston the other night. His lucid presentations of existing evils in the north is evi- dence that he is in thorough sym pathy with the working classes. The intimidation of workingmen by their masters in the righteous north is far in excess Of any unfair meth ods employed in southern elections.

TIE Worlds Far win probably be settled one way or the other during the present month. St Louis claims to have TO votes pledged, conceding Fl to Chicago, New York comes next and Washington last. Congressman Wilson speaking of the matter says
 "It is by no means settled that the government will go into the affair at all. Fully one e-half of the members of congress refuse to commit them selves upon the subject. Many Of them hold that to select as between St. Louis and Chicago would be an
 undue interference upon behalf of the governments as between two cities that are commercial rivals. Then when New York is talked about, western and southern members rise up and say for all the interest Amer jeans in general will have In the matter the Fair may as we'll be held in London and Paris as on the At, Iantic seaboard. Then Washington plays her trump card of neutral
 ity, and urges that the government should seize the opportunity to erect permanent buildings for permanent exposition of American progress

Farmers Alliance.
RUssELLvILLE, Ark, Dec. 20

RUssELLvILLE, Ark, Dec. 20. Editor DEMOCRAT:
 For the benefit of the farmers and laborers of Pope county, l will give brief account of my labor in the county as an organizer.
 At New Hope, in Dover township, I organized an alliance with p mem bers, with J. c. Bonds as president. At Dover another alliance with 23 members, with J. H. Bibler as presi- dent. Another at the Grange Hall, near Potts Station, with Il members; c. G. Oates. president. Another at Mountain View, near Russellville, with IA members; w. A. Mckinney, president Another at New Hope church, in Illinois township, with 9 members; P. J. Harvill, president.
 Some of these alliances have add ed several members.
 I organized county alliance at Dover on the 24th, with four subor dinate alliances, with J. c. Bonds as president.
 Considerable interest is manifest cd throughout the county and all over the entire government. The people are calling for organizers, and are anxious to learn something about the labor movement However, do find some men in this county who think that this organization is a DO litical movement, and, therefore, they are afraid of It. No man is de prlved of any of his privileges. Its object is to better the condition of tue laboring people, hence men be longing to any political party belong to the Alliance.
 The county organizers are w. A. Mckinney and J. c. Bonds. So, il any neighborhood wants to organize all you have to do, IS to let one ol these men know, and they will ac. commodate you.
 Any other paper in the county the friend to laboring people, please copy this, or as much of 1t at will show yonr readers what the Al lance is doing in this county. May success attend all efforts tc elevate the laboring people.
 I am your humble servant,
 J. c. RYE, State Lecturer and Organizer.

IN the death of Henry W. Grady, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, the south has lost one of her bright est minds. A more brilliant editor is not within the journalistic profes sion to day and more eloquent or ator never addressed an American audience. His past was full of great achievements, while his future was crowded thick with splendid promis es. He loved the south and the south loved him. He respected the constitution and laws of the land and the nation, regardless of section, re spected and admired him. His con- suming desire was to unite the north and south by commercial interests and patriotic sentiments, and his death was due to over exertion in the noble undertaking. His loss will be great to the north as well as to the south, for his labors were beneficial to both sections. His death is 8 national calamity.

A STRONG effort will be made to induce the next legislature to take some acton looking to a decided and permanent improvement in the condition of the public roads. The change made in the law by the last legislature was most unfortunate since under the new law, in nearly every county, the roads are worked but half as much as formerly. It will require money and considerable sum of it to make our roads what they ought to be, but the people have suffered the inconvenience o bad roads until they are willing and anxious to plank down 8 sum that will do good.

GROVER CLEVELAND has written

GROVER CLEVELAND has written 8 number of excellent letters of late. A Pennsylvania Post of the Grand Army of the Republic, recently wrote to him for something to be "voted of' for sweet charity's sake. Mr. Cleveland sent a contribution in money and wrote an admirable let. ter from which this extract is taken
 'sNo one can deny that the Grand Army of the Republic has been play. cd upon by demagogues for partisan purposes, and has yielded to insid' ious Embellishments to such an exten, that it is regarded by many good citizens whose patriotism and fair ness can not be questioned as an organization winch has wandered 8 long way from it's avowed design. Whether this idea is absolutely cor rect or not, such sentiment not only exists, but will grow and spread un. less within the organization some thing IS done to prove that its ob' jects are not partisan, unjust and selfish. In this country, where the success of our form of government depends upon the patriotism of all our people, the best soldier should be the best citizen"

IRE Farmers Alliance of Iowa is

THE Farmers Alliance of Iowa is making a strong effort to defeat Sen ator Allison for re election. He IS charged with being selfish, timld and tune serving. They wish to elect Tn his stead Governor Larrabee, fine, courageous, prudent and popular re- publican or "some other good man." As the re- publican majority ln the Iowa legis- lature is slender one, the oppo- sition will worry Senator Allison if it does not defeat him.

The Farmers. Alliance.


 Hon. R. c. Patty, President of the Farmers Alliance Of Mississippi, in an interview published in the Mem. phis Appeal, regarding the late Farmers Congress in St. Louis, gave these pointers:
 We did many things in St. Louis that will eventually bring about good results. We discussed our situation, not from a theoretical standpoint, but from practicable one. Seeking means to improve and elevate the farmer and to aid, so far as we could, in removing many burdens from the agricultural classes.
 "We shall insist upon tariff re lduction-we are tired of it. A nun Der of Iowans said to me that the recent victory of the Democrats in that state was due to our position on that question; and if you will read our resolutions, unanimously adopt ed, memoralizing Congress to reduce our tariff you will discover that we went even further than Cleveland's letter or the Democratic platform. Take Dakota; they sad to me that when corn got down to 13 cents and beef at 2 cents, there was something radically wrong. Gen. Palmer said to me that the magnitude in the change of political ideas was scarce ly conceived, and that when the next National election comes of the Re. publlcans with their protective tariff would be swept out of place as chah before whirlwind. The Northwest ern farmers are learning something and the Republicans will know much more three years hence than they dc now.

Indigestion

IS not only distressing complaint, of itself, but, by causing the blood to become depraved and the system en- feebled, is the parent of ilnumerable maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla is the best cure for Indigestion, even when complicated with Liver Complaint, is proved by the following testimony from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Broadway Centre, Mich.:--
 aIiver complaint and indigestion made my life q burden and came near ending my existence. For more than four years I suffered untold agony, was reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly had strength to drag myself about, All kinds of food distressed me, and only the most delicate could be digested at all Within the time mentioned several physicians treated me without giving re- lief. Nothing that took seemed to do any permanent good until commenced the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which has produced wonderful results Soon after commencing to take the SaTsapa- rilla I could see an improvement in my condition. My appetite began to return and with it came the ability to digest all the food taken, my strength im- proved each day, and after few months of faithful attention to your directions. I found myself well woman, able to attend to all household duties The medicine has given me new lease of life"

 of course, is not political, but we shall suggest measures relating to the conditions of our class. The Democratic party, it's doctrines and popularity IS increasing. The Al lance shall not, as body, indorse it, but each individual belonging to it will vote that ticket. They will do it because they think it is the best party to ally themselves to; the only party which will relieve them of many ills they now bear.
 sOur body is conservative one, aimed to be non political and non sectional. A resolution in St. Louis was offered asking onr endorsement of Woman Suffrage, which was viz orously sat down upon. Another good thing we accomplished was the joining of the Mutual Benefit Associ. ation of Illinois, numbering S0,00C members, to our alliance. Our con vention was almost solid in declar- ing for the
