hats and umbrellas, in the air, and one old
soldier, minus an arm, waving his empty
linen duster sleeve frantically around his
head, whilo he yelled himself hoarse for
DIR. FELTON, and his wife.
Henry Bass a drunken man, tried to
make speech at this juncture, but he was
unceremoniously put out although he fought
like tiger and 1t took a dozen men to eject
him.
DIR. FELTON, ACCEPTS.
DIR. FELTON,, in his characteristic style.
accepted the nomination as a duty he owed
TO his brother farmers and to the Demo-
cratic party. He referred TO himself as a
farmer, and then he got down to the old
halleluJah lick in dead earnest, and for
two hours he made the fur fly.
He referred to the farmers as
his brothers and reviewed his record, defy
ing any one to furnish any proof of single
instance in which he had ever voted CON
trary to their interests. He reafflrmed his
love for the farmers, and said he had ac-
cepted the nomination to warn them against
the demagogues who were seeking to despoil
them. He said he had boen a farmer long
enough to know that other callings needed
protection as well as his, and TO know that
what would iujure one would injure all.
THE BOYS IN GRAY.
Thirty years ago." said he, "when COM
pany after company, battalion after battal-
ion, was wheeling into line under the lead
ership Of the grand and immortal Lee in de-
fense of this southern land, did each soldier
turn to his fellow and say, 'Comrade. are
you lawyeri Comrade, are you CITY
preachers Comrade, are you blacksmith7 y
and II he was any Of these and
not farmer would he have been ostracizsd
and kicked out of toe ranks2 Now, when
sectionalism is arraying its impudent front
against us. when the bloody shirt is being
fiourished over US and the cry is going forth
that the south must again be whipped into
line by federal bayonets, must every one
but the members of the farmers alliance be
kicked out of the democratic partyl Now
1t Is that this secret political organization
comes spreading confusion Ia your midst
SCORING THE ALLIANCE.
He then referred to the alliance demands
upon free born legislature and laughed
them to scorn. He declared that the farm
ers' alliance was born In st, Louis, its
parents being perfect conglomeration Of
isns, factions and soreheads. He drew a
line as broad as that between heaven and
hell between the farmers who had gone
into it for honest purposes and the cunning,
crafty leaders, the demagogues who were
seeking political advancement. He said
the little crowd in st. Louis that had or
ganized the farmers alliance had about as
much use for the national or state democ-
racy as the devil had for holy water. He
likened the alliance to the star chamber,
the Spanish inquisition and the Venetian
council Of ten. He ended by ad vising every
farmer to quit the alliance, since 1t refused
10 admit city preachers into its ranks.
The regular county executive committee
mot to-day and issued an address calling on
all voters TO stand by Col. Everett, the
regular nominee Of the party.
