No Chance for Republicans.

Republican party to secure the Alliance

"Do YOU think the Democratic party
of the North would join the Southern
Democrats on an Alliance PLATFORM"
81 do. think more, and make the
prediction that the Democratic national
convention of 1892 will adopt the ALI
ance St. Louis platform in toto"
At the forenoon meeting of the Ma
tiOnal Colored Alliance the following
amended resolution was unanimously
adopted:
Want the Bill.
Resolved, That we, the delegates at
tending the National Colored Farmers
Alliance, do hereby, in meeting as
sembled at Ocala, Fla. urge upon con-
greSS 10 pass the Lodge election bill,
United States.
The principal change from yesterdays
resolution is the elimination OF the par
agraph critieiSing and denouncing the
white National Alliance for its action.
Gen. j. FL. Rice. of Kansas, who with
MIR. WilletS, the defeated candidate Tor
governor, is an aSpirant for the Peoples
nomination for United States senator
against Mr.. ingalls,, got the flop last
night on proposition to improve the
Mississippi river. but took occasion to
deliver violent political speech. in
when he said:
An Unworthy Party.
~ denounce the Republican party as
unworthy of existence. No man hon
orS it more for what it has been in the
past than /. 1t restored the national
government anG for this l give it all
honor. Time has corrupted it. The
only ambition of its members now is to
scramble for loaves and fishes. 1t
had its origin in the highest
impulses of human freedom, and glo-
ried in being one of its champions for
it has fallen from its high estate and
has become plunderer. 1t processes
religion, but it is an inidel. 1t pro-
feSses freedom, but in reality is
treacherous tyranr. 1t is a gigan-
tic conspiracy to erect a mOneyed
moneyed Imperialism upon the ruins of
free institutions. 1t is the champion of
trusts, m0nopolieS and corporations to
grind down the tOiling Masses"
The speech produced profound sen
sation, and Alliance men of both parties
wish it understood that his opinions are
simply those of an individual, and not
Endorsed by the Alliance as body.

business at the afternoon session, PreSl-
dent McGrath, OF the Kansas Alliance,
